Bad. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 hanging from a HDMI cable going up to a projector, then have a 2TB SSD hanging from the Raspberry Pi. I host Nextcloud and Transmission on my RPi. Use Kodi for viewing media through my projector.
What does your current setup look like?

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running: Portainer Calibre QBittorrent Kodi
HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).
Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.
Main router is a HomeHub flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.

They’ve been rock solid so far. Even through the initial sync from my old file server (pretty intensive network and disk usage for about 5 days straight). I’ve only been running them for about 3 months so far though, so time will tell. They are like most mini pc manufacturers with funny names though. I doubt I’ll ever get any sort of bios/uefi update

At home - Networking
- 10Gbps internet via Sonic.net
- TP-Link Omada ER8411 10Gbps router
- MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM 12-port 10Gbps switch
- 2 x TP-Link Omada EAP670 access points with 2.5Gbps PoE injectors
- TP-Link TL-SG1218MPE 16-port 1Gbps PoE switch for security cameras (3 x Dahua outdoor cams and 2 x Amcrest indoor cams)
- SLZB-06 PoE Zigbee coordinator for home automation - all my light switches are Inovelli Blue Zigbee smart switches, plus I have a bunch of smart plugs. Aqara temperature sensors, buttons, door/window sensors, etc.
Home server:
- Intel Core i5-13500
- Asus PRO WS W680M-ACE SE mATX motherboard
- 64GB server DDR5 ECC RAM
- 2 x 2TB Solidigm P44 Pro NVMe SSDs in ZFS mirror
- 2 x 20TB Seagate Exos X20 in ZFS mirror for data storage
- 14TB WD Purple Pro for security camera footage. Alerts SFTP’d to offsite server for secondary storage
- Running Unraid, a bunch of Docker containers, a Windows Server 2022 VM for Blue Iris, and an LXC container for a Bo gbackup server.
For things that need 100% reliability like emails, web hosting, DNS hosting, etc, I have a few VPSes “in the cloud”. The one for my emails is an AMD EPYC, 16GB RAM, 100GB NVMe space, 10Gbps connection for $60/year at GreenCloudVPS in San Jose, and I have similar ones at HostHatch (but with 40Gbps instead of 10Gbps) in Los Angeles.
I’ve got a bunch of other VPSes, mostly for dnstools.ws which is an open-source project I run. It lets you perform DNS lookup, pings, traceroutes, etc from nearly 30 locations around the world. Many of those are sponsored which means the company provides them for cheap/free in exchange for a backlink.
This Lemmy server is on another GreenCloudVPS system - their ninth birthday special which has 9GB RAM and 99GB NVMe disk space for $99 every three years ($33/year).

A 13-year-old former gaming computer, with 30TB storage in raid6 that runs *arrs, sabnzbd, and plex. Everything managed by k3s except plex.
Also, 3-node digital ocean k8s cluster which runs services that don’t need direct access to the 30TB of storage, such as: grocy, jackett, nextcloud, a SOLID server, and soon a lemmy instance :)

The Lemmy instance might need access to large storage.
Dave@lemmy.nz 8 months ago
My instance’s image cache is like 230GB. Plus a bunch more for the db. Can confirm storage is needed.
(unrelated question 😶 - anyone running pictrs 0.5 on local storage happily?)
synae@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
Thanks for the heads up.
I plan on using digital ocean’s Spaces (s3-alike) where possible and also it’s intended to be a personal instance, at least to start - just for me to federate with others and subscribe to my communities. Given that, do you think it’ll still use much disk (block device) storage?
Might be time to familiarize myself with DO’s disk pricing…

OKey, so that’s a bit concerning… I’d love to get my hand on this “bin” file, I cannot reproduce the issue on my side… Also the site should be HTTPS only. I had a bug with caching recently that showed the ActivityPub data instead of the blog post, could it be that ? Are you on mobile, and the browser cannot show JSON data properly so it tries to download it with a weird name ?

-
Server - Desktop Tower
- Build - Intel server board & CPU based on old serverbuild naskiller guide
- OS on SSD
- ZFS ON 8 6TB DRIVES, YIELDING ~36TB of storage, recoverable with up to two failed drives
- Runs (via docker)
- Navidrome (webui used daily @ work, dsub on phone, feishin on desktop)
- Jellyfin (used almost exclusively locally on my TV, occasionally to watch with friends on web)
- Nextcloud (used occasionally, mostly backs up password files, etc or to share. Thinking about replacing.)
- QBitTorrent with glutun VPN
- Audiobookshelf - used frequently for audiobooks. Occasionally for podcasts. Often more convenient to use antennapod/pocket casts on phone for active podcasts)
- Kavitas - used seldom. Thinking about stopping. I like using obps on my rooted kindle to access my library.
- Changedetection.io -watch some sites for new products, etc
- Kiwix (local wikipedia copy I use shortcuts in FF locally to search for things)
- Homepage (local links I use on local machines to my services)
- Build - Intel server board & CPU based on old serverbuild naskiller guide
-
Raspberry pi
- Adguard home & unbound - block most garbage for any traffic from my home
Thoughts - I’m considering downsizing. I don’t really need all that much space, and it can be a headache at times. With drive replacement costs on top of power (~$320 a year) I consider either going to a vps or downsizing to what could run on a small compute like the n100 or a raspberry pi5, etc.
khorak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Look for 5W idle consumption boards + CPU combos which go down to package C6+ state. HardwareLuxx has a spreadsheet with various builds focusing on low power. Sell half your disks, go mirror or Raidz1. Invest the difference in off-site vps and or backup. Storage on any SBC is a big pain and you will hit the sata connector / IO limits very soon.
The small NUC form factors are also fine, but if your problem is power you can go very low with a good approach and the right parts. And you’ll make up for any new investments within the first year.
HotChickenFeet@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
Thanks! I need to look more into what the power implications of 8 drives is - they never spin down, so I assume they are a non-trivial portion of my power consumption.
That said, I’ve been considering upgrading to something recent and low power anyways. It would be a good opportunity to sneak in some useful features too,
- Maybe the possibility of transcoding a video stream
- USB3 (not a huge deal)
- Non VGA display (useful, for when connection issues arise)
- Audio jack (I could use navidrome jukebox mode!)
Which the old hardware wouldn’t support without adapters, cards, etc.

That’s it.
I can run everything I need to on it and my home internet is only 100/30 still because I don’t live in a city, so 2.5gig networking isn’t worth the cost. a380 does all of the hardware transcoding I need at a fairly low power. It isn’t as good as just getting a newer NUC, but it was cheaper and a fun project.
Also doing a full renovation, so KNX will be connected for home assistant to control my lights and things and my smart home stuff will probably balloon.

rtxn@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Proxmox VE on a machine that I got almost for free. Intel i3-4160, 10GB RAM, 240GB SSD for the OS, and a non-redundant 1T HDD for storage. The only things I paid for are a second NIC and an 8GB RAM stick.
PVE is running a pfSense VM, and a bunch of Debian containers:
- Samba
- Jellyfin (still setting it up)
- Twingate Connector
All internet traffic goes through the pfSense VM. Unfortunately the ISP has put me behind CGNAT and disabled bridge mode, so my internet-facing things (mostly Wireguard and SSH) are pretty much crippled. Right now my best no-cost option is to use Twingate, but I don’t trust it to handle anything other than SSH.
node815@lemmy.world 8 months ago
If behind CGNAT and forwarding is not an option, Headscale, Tailscale or ZeroTier may be an option. I use Tailscale and it have ZERO forwarding on and can access anything on my network when connected through it. Think of these as Wireguard on Steroids. :)
rtxn@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I tried Tailscale once, but it introduced some massive latency because apparently I got connected to my machine through a gateway in Frankfurt. It was the Tailscale Funnel service though, so maybe that’s not what I needed.
Also, are any of the services you listed end-to-end encrypted?
