Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

On the topic of build times, it took me too long to learn that nixos-rebuild supports remote build workers and targets.

For example, if I am editing on my laptop, want to build on my desktop, and apply the build to my file server, then I'd run...

me@laptop$ nixos-rebuild test \
--flake ~/wherever-it-lives \
--build-host desktop \
--target-host file-server \
--use-remote-sudo

The host names should match the name of the nixosConfiguration output from your flake. If they don't I think you can specify like, --target-host .#some-machine

Remote sudo avoids having to SSH as root.

Bonus tip: Having Tailscale on every machine makes this work reliably from anywhere, network speed as the limit.
