Project Showcase: OperationsI'm adding QR Codes on my cables (i.redd.it)

submitted 38 minutes ago by StatureDelaware<br>54 comments<br>share<br>save<br>hide<br>report

I was doing some maintenance on my homelab and when I unpluged a cable from the switch I heard a shout from my wife who was on a call with someone

That’s why I’m now putting QR Codes on my cables. Scanning them opens the homelab documentation for that specific cable (showing the connected devices)

I might also put a QR code on each device (switch, NAS, etc). It will take a few hours but I think it's gonna be worth it, I just hope I keep the documentation up to date.
