The Opposite of Congress

So it’s been a busy past few weeks getting my home lab set up. Thus far, I’ve accomplished the following: n<ol> n<li>Fedora Apache Server Restored to service (PSU Replaced). This bad PSU resulted in the 5 days of downtime for Matt5lot10. So much for my goal of 99…</li> n<li>Fedora updated update to FC19, Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed to host this site</li> n<li>NAS built with BTRFS (1TB and 500GB drive) with SAMBA4</li> n<li>Music and Movies transferred from HTPC to NAS. Initially rsync via Samba shares, but in the interest of speed (and to learn), I moved the disks into the NAS using vgexport and vgimport.</li> n<li>HTPC hard-drive swap and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS reinstall (resolution of HDMI/display issue)</li> n<li>LVM disks repurposed for BTRFS NAS dives</li> n<li>Mattbook Pro updated to OSX Mavericks</li> n</ol> nThe fun isn’t nearly over yet though- I still have the following to accomplish: n<ol> n<li>Full NAS build-out once this baby arrives</li> n<li>Configure iSCSI</li> n<li>Mini-rack install</li> n<li>ESXi build</li> n<li>vCenter Build</li> n<li>Switch configuration and VLAN creation</li> n<li>Matt5lot10.com moved to Highly-available VM</li> n<li>AD, DNS, LDAP, and DHCP service standup</li> n<li>VDI deployment</li> n<li>Profit</li> n<li>Matt5lot10 updates - particularly the “Where’s 5” feature, assuming Google+ API team gets its act together</li> n</ol> nI’m pretty excited about these projects and will do my best to post regular updates to both here and IceCreamInTheDungeon
