Hey all, I recently decided to purchase a dedicated server from RackNerd with the goal of hosting my homelab services remotely. Previously, I ran a high-availability Proxmox cluster out of my one-bedroom apartment in NYC, powered by a few Dell Optiplex 4090s. A few months ago, I moved into a new place and had to decommission that setup. Since my new setup is remote, it presented a few challenges: How am I going to administer my lab? How can I secure it? What services will I host? ...

Hey folks, Quick tip for anybody using DN42. If you’re having an issue making your services reachable on the network you can copy something similar to what I’m doing. In my lab, I’m running plain Docker, with a container that has a private IP of 192.168.77.2. To make it reachable from a remote peer over WireGuard, I’m using two NAT rules: one for SNAT and one for DNAT. Why? Because in the DN42 overlay network, only IPs in the 172.20.0.0/14 range are routable. My little slice is 172.22.147.160/27. The whole setup is similar to your home internet with RFC1918 addresses meaning you need to heavily rely on NAT. ...
