Some time ago I decided to setup seperate homelab network in my house, as my previous homelab server is more like a production homeserver which I don’t want to disrupt. It is not much, but I wanted to build something small, energy-efficient and from the parts I already had.
But back to the topic that made me curious - I kinda needed some persistent storage for pods in lab. Then I remembered that the Mikrotik (RB951G-2HnD) router i’m using have a USB port and I saw an option in winbox to create SMB share. I think you can image where it is going.
