作者对其家庭实验室进行了全面升级改造 [1]。原有基于Zimaboard和NixOS的系统被替换为HPE DL380 Gen10服务器，运行Debian操作系统 [1]。
新服务器配置为2个Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 CPU、288GB内存和16块600GB企业级10k RPM硬盘（RAID6存储） [1]。作者同时购置了Ubiquiti UniFi网络设备，包括UCG Ultra网关和3个U7 Lite接入点 [1]。
网络基础设施方面，作者从阁楼到客厅、楼下和车库敷设了Ethernet电缆 [1]，光纤布线成本仅32克朗（约3美元） [1]。借助750/750 Mbps光纤连接（由Bergen Fiber/Altibox提供），升级后家中WiFi覆盖范围内的网络速度达到700+Mbps [1]。
新环境中部署的自托管服务包括Jellyfin、Immich、Syncthing、qBittorrent、Linkding、NetBird、Dokploy、Uptime Kuma、Beszel以及Grafana与Loki监控栈 [1]。
A homelab enthusiast has documented a comprehensive overhaul of their home infrastructure, upgrading from a Zimaboard running NixOS to an HPE DL380 Gen10 server running Debian [1]. The new server is equipped with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 CPUs, 288 GB of RAM, and sixteen 600GB enterprise-grade 10k RPM hard drives configured in RAID6 [1].
The infrastructure refresh extended beyond compute hardware to encompass the entire network. The author deployed Ubiquiti UniFi equipment, including a UCG Ultra gateway and three U7 Lite access points, and ran Ethernet cabling throughout the house from the attic to the living room, downstairs areas, and garage [1]. The upgraded network now delivers WiFi coverage exceeding 700 Mbps, a substantial improvement over the previous setup, supported by a 750/750 Mbps fiber connection from Bergen Fiber/Altibox [1].
Multiple self-hosted services were deployed on the new infrastructure, including Jellyfin, Immich, Syncthing, qBittorrent, Linkding, NetBird, Dokploy, Uptime Kuma, Beszel, and Grafana with Loki [1]. The fiber optic cabling for the project cost approximately 32 Norwegian kroner, roughly three US dollars [1].
