I’ve had my homelab running for over five years, so it’s fair to assume that I’ve run into a lot of problems. However, many of the problems trace back to just three decisions I made (or didn’t make) early on in my journey. Credit: Jordan Gloor / How-To GeekWhen I first started out in my homelab, I just let my router hand out whatever IP address it wanted. This made things difficult for two reasons: the IP address might change in the future, and I would never know what IP address it was going to hand out. Which is right for you, static IP or dynamic IP?
