Only use jellyfin. Have a list of things want to update… but it works for now.
Yes that is a laptop usb cooler used as supplemental placebo cooling. Also a pc fan I have propped up against the hard drive feeding into the pi.
Can’t recall last time used the ps4 or switch. But they’re there
From top to bottom:
I’m planning to move my Lemmy instance to its own 1.5U.
The whole setup uses around 80-100 watts.
Is that actually an UPS or just a backup battery? Can it passthrough the line power directly or does the inverter need to run 24/7?
In the latter case you might want to check how much power the inverter eats just by itself. For example, my Bluetti with 2 kWh needs a whopping 50W in idle just to keep the AC ports powered. Of course your unit looks much smaller so it should be way less but still worth measuring.
It’s the Allpower R600: iallpowers.eu/…/allpowers-r600-portable-power-sta…
It does do actual passthrough and I also measure wattage directly from the outlet.
My dusty Intel NUC 10:
With a 2TB USB drive plugged in on the right there.
Runs all these services via Docker like a champ: AudioBookshelf, Dockge, File Browser, Forgejo, FreshRSS, Immich, Jellyfin, LemmySchedule, Memos, Navidrome, Paperless NGX, Pihole, Planka, SideQuests, Syncthing, Wallos
Used it for Minecraft server for a week then never used it again. Don’t know anything it would be good for that my computer can’t already do better tbh
You could give it to me .
Don’t use a RPI for hosting
Get a cheap used workstation instead
Care to elaborate? What’s wrong with “hosting” on a rpi?
Or one of those 1L business PC’s
yeah I just ended up using my PC as it is pretty much always on anyways
I may need this now. Would you are the brand? A recommendation?
just got it from aliexpress.
though any hardware or mini pc will do, really.
Not my favorite device
Why not? They look cool, if not a little pricey.
What is the Wi-Fi card for? What software are you using?
so it can also be my wifi ap, im using virtualized openwrt to make it happen.
The disks are the most uggo part. They’re a bunch of old disks of varying sizes with a RAID+LVM setup to make the most use of them while still being redundant.

Pretty clean
Simple, elegant, rock solid. Very nice. :) Love your decals too!
Here’s my messy-cabled 9u rack.
It has:
Everything is set up for low energy consumption (~90w), remote administration, and automatic recovery from power loss.
The small board you can see is a pi hole
I do have more tech elsewhere but this pile is comically ugly
Orange pi zero?
yep! good eye
Extra points for not lifting the spagetti pile when you’re hovering.
Running TrueNAS with 4TB usable mirrored storage, 32GB RAM, and an i5-7600. Mostly holds backed up files from my switch from Windows to NixOS. I’ve got it running Frigate with a Coral TPU, Gitea, Homer, Unifi Controller, and Uptime Kuma. I was managing some helm charts on the TrueNAS k3s cluster with flux but conveniently dialed back to only using their built-in apps right before they removed it in favor of docker only.
For the network I’m running OPNSense on a Protectli device with Ubiquiti Unifi for the wifi. The native WireGuard integration on OPNSense is pretty nice.
some electronics on messy shelves
Testing an image post from Voyager client…
I only own the gear marked A and B, which lives above the couch I call home.
A is my web services 24/7 Proxmox box, an Intel 8500T; 2 routers; an 8TB HDD; and a Back-UPS Pro so old its ethernet surge protection is rated for 100bT, with a brand new LFP battery in it. The UPS powers both A and B.
B is my personal Proxmox box which I use for development and running desktop OSes which I remote into, plus a GL.iNet Slate AX router. These come with me if I stay someplace other than the couch (not pictured). That’s why they’re on different shelves. Also, there’s a USB wifi dongle w/antenna connected to B which I used when some stupid website demands I drop my VPN (all traffic from everything pictured is routed thru 24/7 private VPN endpoints, aka a $2/mo VPS or three).
A simple homemade NAS, mostly for hosting my Plex library and cloud.
The synology needs to be emptied, removed and sold.
The m2 Mac mini was hosting some docker like pihole and actual budget but those are now on another Mac mini used as a workstation, so this one will be sold as well.
How’s your experience with actual budget been? I’ve been considering it and am currently using YNAB.
I made the switch from YNAB cause !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world
I only had a small understanding problem at the beginning but then I quickly managed to replicate my YNAB (and import the data).
Now that I’m used to it I don’t see any problems and I like it.
The lack of mobile app could be a downside but I don’t budget on my phone.
Mines nothing special, i5 10400 with 16GB of RAM and a 1050ti for video encoding. System runs TrueNAS Scale for Plex and Immich and has 44TB of drives running through a Dell H310 PERC SAS card. I desperately need more storage but I’ve been lacking the funds for new drives, I’d also need a 5.25" drive bay converter to hold the 2 additional drives I need in this case since all the bays are full, and another SAS card since this one’s used up.
I’d like to move to Jellyfin but from what I’ve read it doesn’t do as well for streaming from outside the network compared to Plex and half the users of my server are outside my network. So it works for now.
Also have a Raspberry Pi 5 running PiHole
Also a buddy 3D printed a fan mount for the H310 to make sure it doesnt overheat when doing file transfers and I slapped a Noctua on it
Damn, that’s actually pretty sexy for a fresh-air rack How’s the noise levels?

My whole empire, made almost entirely of parts scavenged from roadside signs. (not a single fan on the whole setup)
Roadside signs? Hah! what processor do they have?
The two top ones host invidious, searx, and yacy on one and lotide (what I'm talking to you on) and matrix on the other, they both have Intel Atom D2550s. The bottom one has an Intel Core i5-4570TE, and hosts basically everything else including my reverse proxy server.
At some point I'd like to move to low-end ryzen embeddeds, because they are either as powerful or more powerful than anything I have and remain fanless, but one step at a time (and finding something that powerful that's inexpensive and scavenged from a roadside sign is tough sometimes)
Very tidy!
My dirty data diddler. 10+ yr old amd octacore black running at 4ghz. 4TB of writeable space in it. HD and SSD mix. Old sb xfi audio running to a BT5.0 USB dongle for my games and music. Pioneer CD/DVD writer. Yes I still burn CDs and DVDs for my music and backup purposes heh. White cable on the right hanging vertical is a USBC data/charging cable. The squirrely wires lefttoright are a power line for a digital clock I’m gonna hang on the wall soon. Image
The cable modem is no longer in use, finally got fiber in my neighborhood but the ONT/GW is in the basement. Beelink is my single (for now) proxmox node, HP is running Plex w/ Intel iGPU for transcoding. DS220+ NAS w/ 2x 16TB drives. Unifi switch 8 and USG-3P (fiber ONT/GW passes through to that and it’s soon to be replaced with a Palo Alto 410, thanks to work) and then another Unifi 8 port lite in my basement office where the ONT/GW lives. Nothing special, very ugly but I hope to upgrade the wired network to 10g in the future to support a proxmox cluster and my ISPs 5Gbps offering. Also plan on converting my old desktop into an Unraid box since I can get a lot of drives from work and don’t really want to stick with the Synology.
My main server cabinet st my parents house. I have one Synology, one home built Xpenology and one small server with old gaming hardware for steam link. Theres one HP server with 2x Xeon E5 and 128GB missing in the photo that ai got for 100€ at an auction.
At home I have this setup, my main synology NAS and a thinkcentre with an i7 and 16GB of ram for kinecraft and FiveM.
Some of yall just need to stop with your “cable maintenence” and “airflow” or you’re gonna give the rest of us a complex. 😁
Some of those setups are tight. I’ll post my janky ass “comm closet” when I get home later.
I’d rather not. It’s literally a Dell workstation machine from the mid-2000s. It’s like Wolfgang’s Channel kryptonite
Top to bottom:
Not in picture: My UPSes, RIPE Atlas probe and an Odroid N2+ running my Home Assistant instance
The server runs Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers running a Docker Swarm cluster.
There’s too many services running so I’m not listing them all. Let’s just say my phone is not going to be thrilled if it goes down. Also, this post was posted through said server.
Why would you need so many cat5 cables with just a few servers?
The entire house is terminated there, that’s where all the cables go. :)
Install Linux on both ps4 and switch and selfhost something on them
Nice trapezoid
Tower of Pisa would like a word with you.
Or is it just he camera angle that makes it look so tilted?

I love it. I’ve seen shit that has literally had my mouth agape to the piles on the floor like little gremlins ater my own heart.
