      Hey everyone!

      I've been playing with IT for a long time, can't ever say I'm a professional of any sort but I do find myself enthusiastic about it. I started long ago with a cheap Google Search Appliance (Poweredge 2950) under my couch and just kept acquiring parts since then and eventually stuck it all into a rack.

      XCP-NG has been a part of that journey for a long time and currently trying to practice diagram creation. I figured I'd started with a full summary reference diagram and break it down from there, but let me know how it looks! Either my diagram or the architecture itself!

      This diagram includes 6 sections broken down into:

      Home Logical Topology
      Home Physical Topology (simple)
      Colo (Virginia)
      Hardware setup template
      Home network equipment summary
      Networking and VLANs

      The diagrams cover my home architecture, and my off-site locations in a colo connected via S2S VPN.

      Appreciate it everyone!

        Ummm... Your documentation sure makes a lot of us jealous!

        Was that just a layout program like draw.io, or are you using something like Netbox for that work?

        I'm starting on GLPI to handle more than just flow paths going forward, need to track serial numbers, date of purchase, maybe installed software as I go forward. A project for the summer.

        So there might be two other things to look into if you get bored.

          I appreciate that! I used draw.io to create this and although I've made quite a few diagrams as a prior teacher, I don't quite know any standards so I do my best to present it as built.

          I've tried GLPI before and I did enjoy it, I also used Snipe-IT alongside a Dymo label printer to great success. I didn't quite keep up on that documentation sadly and most of my equipment details/warranty now fall under Grocy as I'm in that program more than others.

          I tend to browse through the Awesome opensource Self-hosted list and see what I can put together and how I can improve. I do use a lot of this in my house, and contains my router now so I'm outta luck if it goes down lol.

            Couldn't help myself, noticed a few errors and thought of a few items to throw in the diagram lol.
