Thanks! I will message you soon. The HP has only one Ethernet slot. So it's pretty limited what I could do to upgrade the network. But messing with pfsense will be a huge and interesting learning activity.

You can get a m.2 to gigabit adapter and make something work, or alternatively you can get another mini pc and do it there, I personally like the idea of them being separated

Hey everyone!

Here is a small diagram I made for my small homelab. I'm just a simple programmer who never passed networking class, so many things in this diagram may be wrong!.

The graphic is based on this post from caiuscorvus. It's been made with draw.io

I'm using a HP Prodesk 400 G4 Mini with i7 8th gen, 16gb ram and 1tb ssd. After having 4 power outages in two days and losing one hard drive from the server, I decided to buy a small ups. Hopefully with the low comsuption I can get 1 hour extra life. The good thing is that I managed to install the monitoring software inside the server and connect the usb to it.

I'm also using the ISP default modem/router, that explains the ugly ip ranges. Pfsense should probably be my next big step but I still need more research and learning before taking the leap.

I mostly use it to deploy some apis for a little game I'm building and for remote developing at work.

Hope you like it and please any feedback to fix mistakes in it is welcome!!
