Hey there selfhosted community.

I had big plans when I moved last year to finally setup my homelab with proper VLAN seperation. Well a stressfull move later I simply had no energy left and just threw my whole homelab and all my services in my main LAN with no seperation whatsoever.

In how much of a world of pain am I in now when I want to switch my homelab services over in a seperate VLAN? Any recomendations or pointers to documentation for me to go through before I decide if this is something I want to do right now?

Currently this would impact a proxmox host with 3 VM's and 1 LXC and around 20 docker images.

Maybe I was too literal in how I answered the question because I do use VLANs in my home network, but just to segregate my guest wifi which I also use for IoT things that I don't need on my main network.

I don't think of this as "home lab" because all my services run on my primary network VLAN and my secondary VLAN only exists at my router, switch and wifi APs.

I haven't found a need for a "no access" VLAN as if I wanted to keep something from going outbound I would just create a firewall rule. I've also found my PiHole to be very effective at blocking telemetry traffic from things.
