Hey there selfhosted community.

I had big plans when I moved last year to finally setup my homelab with proper VLAN seperation. Well a stressfull move later I simply had no energy left and just threw my whole homelab and all my services in my main LAN with no seperation whatsoever.

In how much of a world of pain am I in now when I want to switch my homelab services over in a seperate VLAN? Any recomendations or pointers to documentation for me to go through before I decide if this is something I want to do right now?

Currently this would impact a proxmox host with 3 VM's and 1 LXC and around 20 docker images.

you need to figure out what VLANs you need and how the communication (firewall rules) between them should work or not work. Which devices are connecting to your services/proxmox host from which VLANs? To actually answer your question, if you want to figure it out try it in a tested lab setting or do this when you have time. I spent quite some time troubleshooting why certain firewall rules don’t work as expected,
