Kaizen #4: Overhauled Homelab

Kaizen #4: Overhauled Homelab

What happened

Two years ago, the author revamped their homelab.
Earlier this year, the author moved to a house they own.
The house has a fiber connection with 750/750 Mbps speed from Bergen Fiber (Altibox).
The author bought Ubiquiti UniFi networking equipment including a UCG Ultra, three U7 Lite access points, and PoE-injectors.
The author purchased a fresh roll of 500 meters of Ethernet cable.
The author requested a 5 meter fiber-cable SC/UPC from Bergen Fiber.
Bergen Fiber offered to send a 2 meter cable instead.
The author paid 32 kr (approximately $3) for the 5 meter fiber cable from a B2B company.
The author and a buddy initially planned to wire the house in a few hours but spent six hours on the first day.
After the buddy left, the author continued the wiring work for three more days.
The author made a 42 mm hole in the wall from the attic to the living room.
It took the author two hours to make the first working Ethernet cable.
The author states about UniFi: 'It's not (F)OSS, but it's excellent hardware with no subscription and no account required to use it.'
