I just spent a good chunk of today migrating some services onto new docker containers in Proxmox LXCs.

As I was updating my network diagram, I was struck by just how many services, hosts, and LXCs I'm running, so counted everything up.

116 docker containers
- Running on 25 docker hosts
- 50 are the same on each docker host - Watchtower and Portainer agent
38 Proxmox LXCs (19 are docker hosts)
8 physical servers
7 VLANs
5 SSIDs
2 NASes

So, it got me wondering about the size of other people's homelabs. What are your stats?

3 DL360G8 Esxi (86Ghz/512GB RAM)
1 DL380G8 TrueNAS
1 DL360G7 Veeam
Dell n5070 Extended PVE SophosnUTM
48 Port Catalyst rack switch
Cisco 2921
Fibre Channel / iSCSI

50+ VMs and containers:

VMware ESXi, vCenter, VMware Log Insight, VMware OPS
DMVPN to remote locations like a desk switch at work and family member houses
Sophos UTM
Active Directory for my home computers
hybrid sync to MS Entra (Azure Active Directory) with Entra Connect
hybrid Exchange on Premise and Exchange online
Active Directory for management network
Security Onion VMs for IDS
Network monitoring like Elastiflow, PRTG
Docker, gitlab, OpenSalt / Saltstack
Trellix ePO for AV
Nessus vuln scanners
Team Awareness Kit (TAK) server
Active Directory Certificate Services
Home media applications

These things are mostly to maintain familiarity and documentation development. I write off the cost of electricity as continuing education and professional development. More enterprise than some enterprises.

Love it! I'm gonna grab a 32RU rack soon. Got most of my stuff in a small ~14RU wall cabinet right now. I was originally aiming for low power everything - RasPis, etc. But I've since bought a couple DL360s, and you just can't beat the sheer grunt factor, especially when paired with Proxmox.
