Anyone running Proxmox Backup Server on their NAS in home lab?
I just loaded it on my Beelink ME Pro unit and working out great. Check out the details here: Why Your NAS Is the Perfect Proxmox Backup Server #proxmox #homelab #homeserver https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2026/02/why-your-nas-is-the-perfect-proxmox-backup-server/

I have PBS running on an old Dell Optiplex with a 3rd Gen Intel processor. It's slow, but it has been a rock over the past few years. I'll be watching shopgoodwill[dot]com later this year for a potential upgrade, provided that source doesn't start jacking up prices or removing the RAM from the used machines.
With prices, small performance upgrades that still make sense!

My upgrades this year are likely to be mostly network-related. I'm determined to make it through the year without purchasing more storage or graphics cards (unless used/refurbished). I don't have anything that is mission-critical at this point.

This is thought-provoking and gives me some good ideas to move my lab forward in 2026. I will be referring back to this article.
Anyone tested Cosmos Server? I tested as Home Server OS Very Cool!

I played with it a little when I first learned of it. I've been sticking with ZimaOS for a long-term evaluation at this point. I've also tested: CasaOS RunTiPi UmbrelOS and probably a couple others that are not immediately coming to mind.
Combining Hobbies
Anyone else using your homelab/self hosting capabilities to support a different hobby? I just started doing something new and thought I'd share it with you all. I've been an amateur (ham) radio operator since 1983. I recently found about 44net, which are blocks of public IPv4 addresses available to ham radio operators for ham radio related use. They can be used for pretty much anything ham radio, such as ham radio related websites, connections to radios for digital communications and so on. Nothing commercial or non-ham radio can be offered through this IP. I'll admit I know very very little about it so far, but went ahead and applied for my first IP which I received very quickly. I'm doing it through what I guess you call a side project to 44net called 44net Connect that provides your 44.x.x.x IP to you via a Wireguard tunnel. I needed to do it that way because I'm behind CGNAT. They provide the public end, you provide the end you're working from. I've been wanting to learn to make websites with the Hugo framework, so I set up a new VM on Proxmox (isolated from the rest of my LAN) for that. I installed nginx and Wireguard and connected my new public IP. I started setting up my first ham radio website, though there's very little there at the moment. That will change soon. You can see it at ka9phi.org. With the big winter storm approaching my area, I suspect I'll have more time than usual to devote to this for a few days. As a side note, I'm using a self hosted Wazuh instance to monitor security on this new site, just for extra learning and security.

This sounds very interesting. HAMs are an interesting group. I knew a couple growing up, but never close enough to get involved with the HAM scene myself. That being said, I can acknowledge the role HAMs played pre-internet, and the spirit of tinkering that inspired many of the early ha...penetration testers.
