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

Damn that’s alot 😅😂
This one gave me the confidence to post my setup, I salute your bravery (°_°)7.
The best of luck with your future insurance claim.
Hey it works!
To be fair I just moved and had to get Plex back up for the wife and audiobookshelf back up for me asap! Should look better soon
messy asf, a proper hobbiest system
lmao mine looks simple af compared with most people here.
Behold my server :
Hardware:
-
Rasberry pi 5 8GB
-
1TB raid between old drives ( one from PC the other a just a regular external WD hard drive ).
Services
- Wireguard VPN/wg-easy
- AudioBookShelf
- Freshrss
- Vaultwarden
- Navidrome
- Calibre Web
- Actual Budget
- Trilium notes
Everything in containers, if you want to know more check this blogpost.
mine is a pi 4 but basically the same, just shoved inside a box for protection
-
- Old Synology NAS for storage
- Optiplex 7060 running jellyfin, paperless, *arr stack, handbrake, ripper, maybe some other containers.
- NUC5 running nextcloud (nextcloudpi) baremetal and an audiobiokshelf container
now that is uggo. but i may be able to top it. doesn’t have to pretty for me if it works
Uggo = uptime
“Uggo” is a slang term that means “ugly”.

My little cluster
Optiplex gang represent
Got the same optiplex to eventually replace the pi.
Nice and clean.
I just got 10 Gbit internet last week so I had a chance to tidy everything up. The ThinkCentre is the 10 Gbit router, the Synology actually hosts everything.
Also finally labeled all the mystery cables. Also replaced the proprietary 20V/12V bricks for the ThinkCentre and 10G Fiber ONU with USB-C adapter cables to keep things tidier.
Oh I love that mini toy rack!
was going through some old pictures and decided I’d post a retro setup. pretty sure I took this picture with my android g1…so 2008ish?
here is a pic of one of my first selfhost setups. I began selfhosting for music and have never stopped. this iteration was stuffed behind a bar that was built in to the basement at my old house
the old fashioned was custom built and was running some flavor of windows server. the one on the floor was the first Linux server I had run to do something useful…torrents and subsonic IIRC. I pieced that server together with random parts, mostly donated from old family PCs. two UPS units were on the bottom rack of that metro shelf to battery back the servers and the tomato router out of frame.
That monitor looks so sexy.
oh, she was. found her several years earlier in a trash pile at an office building I was working at… with the protective plastic still stuck on the screen.
she met her doom against a concrete floor during a studio shuffle… sad day.
mostly runs jellyfin for a group of about 30 users (2 or 3 on at most times). runs alpine on bare bones. the box was originally filled with foam cutouts from storing iPads in a school district I worked at. I figure it’s 20tbs of storage and 16gb ecc is a welcome upgrade. it stays cool cause I cutout half the side and put an AC fan in there. future upgrades involve the Nvidia k40 card I have, but I need to design an active cooling system for it before it can be installed as that thing gets HOT
Could I interest you in some diagonal bracing today?
I’m in the middle of moving so everything is packed up. But this was the rack before we moved.
Networking, 3D printer, black and white laser printer and a color laser printer, several servers.
I had home assistant, Plex, Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, and many other services.
Servers are Ryzen 5950x and the other is a threadripper 24 core.
The other side of the rack was HDMI switchers and some game consoles.
Going to miss the 1gbps fiber internet, we now have Starlink.
The basement network and storage/server racks.
Heavy lifting boxes…
I’d rather not. It’s literally a Dell workstation machine from the mid-2000s. It’s like Wolfgang’s Channel kryptonite
literally one these with loads of RAM and a wifi card, so i can fit all the shenanigans in one box
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 ap i was using is now doing its duty as an extender while the beefier one does firewall, wifi, server, storage you name it…
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.
Old setup:
Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 that I bought refurbished for ~€130
- i5-6500T (Passmark score 4792)
- 8GB RAM
- 512GB SATA SSD + 128GB SATA SSD (completely used for swap)
- Buffalo DriveStation™ HD-WLU3 that I bought second hand for €10
- 2 × 2TB SATA HDD’s in RAID 1
- ~20W
New setup:
Custom build
- ASUS Prime N100I-D D4 (Passmark score 5501) (~€100)
- 16GB RAM - Crucial CT16G4SFRA32A (€28)
- 512GB SATA SSD
- 4 × 4TB SATA HDD’s in RAID 5 using mdadm (€160)
- M.2 NVME to SATA 6x (ASM1116 for C-states) (€17)
- 17.8W
(Not the Proliant Microserver Gen8 on top, the device below)
The antennas are from a Sonoff Zigbee dongle and a bluetooth dongle for Home Assistant.
I’ve mostly focused on power usage, price, and reliability since I’m a student and don’t want to spend a month’s worth of income on a “home lab”.
It’s running the following:
- Forgejo
- Grafana
- Home Assistant
- Jellyfin
- Kopia
- Nginx-proxy-manager
- Paperless NGX
- Photoprism
- Syncthing
- TimescaleDB
- Uptime-kuma
- Vaultwarden: As backup
- Watch Your LAN
- Arr stack (currently disabled)
- Homebox: Still up for testing, like it has been for the past couple months. It’s a great concept but the execution ain’t great (does anyone happen to know an alternative?)
It’s using about 10% CPU and is running below 40°.
I have three of those Proliant Microserver Gen8’s. Two of them are part of my Proxmox cluster, and the other one is waiting for me to install Proxmox on it.
I’m currently just using it for occasional backups (it has 12TB storage) since the power consumption (60W idle when in the BIOS) is just unreasonable.
