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
threaded - newest
Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin? Am I missing something here ?
I had the same thought - an entire 8U rack to hold a single raspberry pi with an external drive?
Come on guys, that’s a whole 8TB.
There’s no rules here
There’s no rack mount server there. I see a UPS, switch (network and Nintendo varieties), PS4 and mini PC
My bad. I’m so dumb that I see a shelf UPS and I assume this is some advanced network shit. I have an old gaming pc and a mini pc as 2 nodes in my home network.
Its a rack mounted rack without the server.
What would be wrong with that?
I considered it pretty heavy equipment for just a single service but that’s coming from my experience running like 8 vms on an old gaming pc and tearing my hair out over how janky it all looks (it works fantastically for me tho)
I guess it depends on your library size and how many users you are serving. My plex server has a library of over 110 TB and over 60 users, so to me a rack mount server for Jellyfin alone doesn’t sound overkill at all
Damn how does one amass 60 users? That’s a big ass family
About a third of it is friends of mine, the rest is family and extended family
That’s awesome!
This table rack was the most space savey option i could find. It looks less stable than it is. It is super minimal as far as the actual self hosting stuff goes.
Room to expand eventually.

Not taking a picture, but here’s what I have:
Running:
I also have a VPS to get around CGNAT, and I have a Wireguard VPN configured so communication is encrypted.

So yeah, somewhat simple. My family likes Jellyfin, but I haven’t really gotten them on board with anything else.

Ok, now this is just showing off. Patch cables all the exact required length and everything all nice and neat. I bet you check your backups regularly and do a monthly DR fail over test too.
…Kidding aside, your setup looks really good.
Haha I need more Patch cables to get rid of those long ones. Also when I opened up the cabinet for this Pic I noticed the left fan isn’t dusty like the rest so it might be dead x_x
Where do you source your diagnostic dust?
I contract that out to my dogs, they go out and source the finiest dusts for networking diagnostics

Small, 10 inch rack, with some 3D printed rack mounts.
This is great. I have couple of those HP machines which are awesome but was just stacking them on my desk. 10 inch rack will be great for them. Need to do some hunting.
My HP has a 65 watt CPU built in, when it’s running at full load it is quite loud.
A bit concerning that it is propped up on a night table and sitting right next to a doorway. There’s only two of us in the house but I would never place electronic equipment like that near a doorway where I myself could just knock it over (because I’ve done stuff like that in the past). Get it on the floor or on the opposite side of the room where no one including yourself can walk or move around near it.

What do you do on that many pi’s that could not be done easier on 1 x86 box?
They’re fanless and low-power, which was the primary draw to going this route. I run a Kubernetes cluster on them, including a few personal websites (Nginx+Python+Django), PostgreSQL, Sonarr, Calibre, SSH (occasionally) and every once in a while, an OpenArena server :-)
I did a 4 node Pi4 kubernetes cluster for about 5 years. The learning experience was priceless. I think most notable was learning to do proper multiarch container builds to support arm and x86_64. That being said, about half a year ago I decided to try condensing it all into two n100 nuc-like clones and keep one pi as the controller. For me and my apps and use cases there was no going back. Performance gains were substantial and in this regard I think I was hobbling myself after the educational aspect plateaued.
Actually, as a web guy, I find the ARM architecture to be more than sufficient. Most of the stuff I build is memory heavy and CPU light, so the Pi is great for this stuff.
Except the Pi doesn’t have much memory.
Each Pi 4 has 8GB of RAM. With six devices, that’s 48GB to play with. More than enough for my needs.

Rack server on a lack IKEA table.
Nice DJ controller you got there 🤓
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

A simple homemade NAS, mostly for hosting my Plex library, VPN+torrent 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. I believe you can try it locally without running the server version.
The lack of mobile app could be a downside but I don’t budget on my phone.
Okay, thank you. A lack of a mobile app isn’t a big deal as I don’t really use the YNAB mobile app to begin with since the browser version works so much better on a computer.

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, an AMD 5750GE, 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).
<img alt="" src="https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/34aae6c7-d503-4244-81f2-442d8effbb32.webp"> An old HP laptop with Debian hosting Klipper and Home Assistant. Waiting for an OTG cable so I could replace the laptop with a phone for less power and heat
Using phones with a continuous power supply might do nasty things to the battery.
Source: I finally figured out how to open a glass back phone with no tools.
Heat, then suction?
On a related note, I solved the battery issue with my wall mounted Fire tablet (for an HA dashboard) by connecting the power supply to a smart plug and setting up an automation to only give it the juice for about 3 hours per day, spread throughout the day
It still amazes me that the smartest phones aren’t yet smart enough to have direct power supply.
Like my 40 year old AM radio.
Because $$$ !
I’ve done similar with an old Android tablet. Installed Fully Kiosk Browser to display the dashboard AND read the battery level - above 75%, switch off power…
But… automations only trigger when going past the threshold once, so if there’s a random issue where HA doesn’t see the battery drop below 10%, (had that happen a few times in the past), then I also have multiple triggers for 5% and 2%… to turn the power back on again 😉
Yeah, the tablet runs Fully Kiosk and I tried the same thing with the battery percentage thing and ran into the same issue, so I just simplified and made the automation time-based.
The tablet also likes to freeze a few times a day, so I also created an automation that toggles the smart plug power whenever HA loses connection to the tablet for more than 5 seconds, then toggles back to the original state at the start of the automation, which corrects the problem. Until the next time. But hey! It was only $60, so it’s fine.
Ah, good call on using the power to get the tablet to respond… I don’t have that problem (tablet freezing), but it does drop off the wifi sometimes.
For what its worth, some Samsung phones can stop charging while the plug is in, while also not disconnecting anything on a USB dock (such as internet)
Wait I see EMT piping for that printer frame… Did you convert an Anet A8 to an “EMT-8” like I did!? :D
Just seemed like a neat coincidence!
The stock A8 was such a scary fire hazard lol.
Yup you’re indeed seeing an EMT8 :D. This thing’s got a SKR mini e3 V3, E3D v6 clone and an E3D titan clone. I have a post about it in my profile.
I bet there are dozens of us EMT8 owners! Dozens!
That’s so cool! Nice work! I feel a certain kinship with anyone who also got tons of 3D printing XP by building, rebuilding, researching, modding, head-scratching, laughing, crying, screaming at an A8 lol.
<img alt="" src="https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/e74998cd-ba93-4cf1-8b2e-fe5f79c4d412.jpeg">
This here is mostly fire prevention: Basically an updated stock motherboard, better PSU, an aftermarket MOSFET board for safety, thicker gauge wires with ferrule crimps for all the power cables, the bed is now attached directly to the thicker wires by way of crimp connectors.
The printing surface is upgraded to carefully cut and polished picture frame float glass. 😂
Added that sweet fan duct mod, a little Noctua 15mm (because it softened and jammed otherwise LOL), and printed that purple bracket at the library because the plastic decided to literally crumble away.
Also the adjustable Z-stop was nice but the PLA softened so it’s a bit unpredictable, and the right motor will gently slip until it’s engaged so the gantry needs to be leveled every time…I also can’t guarantee that the Z rods are straight anymore because it requires such a Goldilocks level of tension I probably overdid it lol.
Oh yeah, I had to replace the main power cable because the one provided just…had a break in it.
It still works for small jobs though! And it printed all those parts for itself, so that’s kinda the RepRap dream right there right??
Lol I feel like an amazing machine is in here somewhere if I bothered to research custom boards and stuff. The stock bearings are also terrible. But if I can bother someday I’ll stick Klipper on it maybe.
It was a crazy, stressful journey…but I learned a ton of electronics stuff, and how to use a multimeter, and engineering stuff! XD
My Ender3V2’s felt like such a crazy luxury by comparison. 😂
Yeah I thought this thing was pretty decent, way better than originally, but then I got to use a Prusa MK4 at school…

What are those machines on the floor?
The meat and potato’s of my homelab. It is just a Proxmox cluster hosting some things.
Most of it is pretty ordinary as I just have a bunch of Debian VMs hosting docker compose. Ansible for deployments and I am working on moving completely to NFS for storage.
The two notable things I have is a virtualized NAS running TrueNAS and a virtualized desktop running Linux Mint. The NAS has a pcie sata controller passed though with two SSDs and the desktop has a RX580 and the USB controller passed though. The tower seen in the back has both of those currently and what you can’t see is my monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Here are the services I’m running:
Jellyfin
Nextcloud
Matrix
my website (it is not much at the moment)
I’m using busybox http
Graphana and Influxdb

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.

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.
You people are such nerds. Wish I could self-host too.
You can get a setup going on whatever personal computer until you throw ~$150 on a mini PC.
I know!. I watched a few videos but I’m affraid I lack some programming skills for now. Or it would requires that I have a few days off and be in great mood haha. I have a few computers that would probably work, what I would need is someone by my side to help me troubleshoot whatever wont work. You guys already made me switch to linux which I wouldnt even have considered a few years back lol. Super happy, but it’s always a challenge when something stops working. For example, after the last kernel update, I spent hours trying to get bluetooth to work again, and in the end buying a new adapter was the only thing that worked. But one day I will self-host too!
no need to be a programmer to do it!
Well you are here so that’s a start

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.
if you want something like this but branded, look into protectli, they make similar devices.
Asking for the brand was a way to say that I would like to be able to check their data and perhaps buy it. I don’t need a nice stamp on things:)
topton is one of the more “trusted” brands in there. you can get anything from a small dual core celeron to a mobile i7, with two ddr5 slots, m.2 slots, mpcie slots, sata slots… you name it.
it can be quite a punch on a tiny box and it is a very practical all-in-one device, but it does need some tinkering repasting and adjusting out of the box. mine in particular has issues around wol and absolutely needed cooling fans and better thermal paste. ymmv.
here is a popular one.
here is some discussion about these boxes with varying levels of success in using it, its quite good once the kinks are worked out.
this form factor is definetly something if you want a homelab without the hassle, pricetag, size, noise, energy consumption… you can virtualize everything in it if you get one big enough.
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…
Not my favorite device
Why not? They look cool, if not a little pricey.
They don’t represent a good value for me. I want something cheaper that has room for expansion.
What other products would you recommend for a router?
Any off the shelf device that’s not Broadcom.
Flash OpenWRT and be done
not the same class of device though
No but you don’t need a lot of horse power for just gigabit
you do if you want more than just a router though
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Separate out your stuff so that one failure doesn’t cause the end of the world.
having another one of these in a cluster is not off the table, but for now size is a priority. its all backed up with another router to take over if needed.
i dislike the relative lack of repairability and expandability too.
processing power is more than adequate, and it comes in a tiny practical box, this is my priority atm.

Is that a Unifi PDU/UPS? Didn’t even know they made these.
Also, you need to peel the stickers of the screens.

Only real reason IMO is dust can collect on the seam and it’s annoying to clean without taking the peel off anyway.
IDK why people get weird about it.
It seems they don’t make a variant for Europe so that’s probably why I never heard of it.
Why on earth do you have so many DVD drives. Also, are you using Windows?

Don’t use a RPI for hosting
Get a cheap used workstation instead
yeah I just ended up using my PC as it is pretty much always on anyways
Or one of those 1L business PC’s
Care to elaborate? What’s wrong with “hosting” on a rpi?
Underpowered and over priced
Modern amd64 CPUs will run circles around it. Pickup something with a i5-6500 and you will have a much better experience. You also could go older or newer depending on what you are doing.
I have a pi4 and been very happy with the dimensions and low power usage. What could I get for the same price and power use?
Genuine question. Im looking at a pi5 right now.
Old Intel mini PC
For the same price and power usage as the Pi?
Likely cheaper and the power usage will depend on the hardware. In idle it shouldn’t pull much power. The raspberry pi has gotten a lot more power hungry while also being poor on performance and overpriced.
You could give it to me .

Ah, that makes sense. I have 7 nano HD in my house because constructions here are all concrete, so pretty much 1 AP per room.
The wall to the right is also solid but doesnt matter as I am not much in there.
But for concrete in all walls…Jeez must be expensive and annoying to run cable in all rooms.
That’s an understatement, lol. And all my cabling is 6A, which is basically an iron bar 🤣. It took me and a friend of mine almost 4 days to push that wiring through
Had to pleasure of reorganizing a half depth networking closet with patchpanels and a half-depth 48-port switch.
Jesus Christ I needed all my strength (while standing on a 2 step ladder) to mash that switch in enough to screw the rack ears… Not pleasent in the slightest.
What do all you guys use these setups for?
My primary use case is safeguarding my important personal artifacts (family photos, digitized paperwork, encryption key / account recovery / 2FA backups) against drive failure (~2TB), followed by my decently sized Plex server (23TB), immich, nextcloud, and various other small things like selfhosted bitwarden, grocy, ollama, and stuff like that.
I run all of my stuff off of a 6 bay Synology (more drives helps with capacity efficiency as double redundancy with 6 drives costs you 30% and I wanted to be protected against drive failures during rebuilding) with an Intel nuc on top to run plex/jellyfin transcoding using quicksync instead of loading the poor nas with cpu transcoding, I also run ollama on the nuc since it has faster cores than the nas.

Oooo I should do something like this! Right now I have a Pi 4 with OMV and just OMV on it. It’s even running on a SSD. It could do so much more!
OMV has such a nice Docker management interface too. I really feel spoiled with it.
I was planning on all my services running in ProxMox or something, but my OMV VM handles all of them except PiHole basically lol. OMV is snazzy. :D
I have a second pi for Pi-Hole! I’ve tried using OMV’s Docker, but I am too dumb to get it configured D: Would you happen to have any resources for getting it up and running?
Hey sorry for the delayed reply! That’s a VERY good question, since things got a little different since they moved away from Portainer I remember a bit of friction switching over, but geeze it was a while ago…
I did find this link though:
wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7%3Adocker_in_…
That might be similar (and possibly better organized!) than the guides I was working with when that OMV subsystem was still a bit new. I hope that might help! 🙂
Nothing wrong with simple! If it works for you that’s all that matters!
What made you go with a RPI 5?
Right now I don’t have much to tinker with, so I got something that down the line would serve that role.
Why the 5 specifically, instead of the 4 or other SBC came down to pricing in my region, raw power, and the PCIE slot in which I intend to put a nvme when upgrading my laptop.
mine is a pi 4 but basically the same, just shoved inside a box for protection

Very tidy!
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)

Oh I love that mini toy rack!
I was so close to asking what the hell that thing was
It’s from a japanese Gacha machine! bitbang.social/@kalleboo/112755170852099746
Interesting! May I ask why you use USB port on Synology for Ethernet connection instead of ports on the back? Are they 1gbit?
Precisely, the rear ethernet is 1 Gbit, the USB adapter is 2.5 Gbit!
I see! :)
The ports on most Synology devices are the weak spot indeed.
It’s 6 years old now so I can’t really complain but even new ones don’t come with 2.5Gbe by standard, it seems that should be cheap enough to throw in there by now. At least a lot of the new ones can be upgraded internally to 10 Gbe.
Uh-huh, and plenty of NAS devices had 2,5Gbe even those 6 years ago.

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.

Ha indeed, every room in the house is getting 2 faceplates (on roughly opposite sides of the room) with 4 Ethernet that runs each back to the server rack. Is every room having 8 runs right back to the switch excessive, you bet.
In my old place I had one faceplate with 2 ethernet, coax and phone to each room, but phone and coax is useless and I didn’t have enough Ethernet.

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.

This is a custom built mini PC, with a mini-ITX motherboard and an Intel N100 CPU. It gets powered by a power supply that I got from an old computer. Also, it needs no active cooling, just a heatsink. It almost never gets above 60°C.
(and yes, it has no case).
In it I run:
I think I have the same motherboard, it’s the ASUS N100I-D D4, right?
Yes, this is it. I bought it because it was cheap (100€) and had a built-in CPU. The only problems are that it hasn’t got many SATA or PCIe ports. This is fine however, because I have no need for them right now.
I did need multiple SATA ports and chose to use an m.2 to SATA adapter myself.

Some context shots. This is in my garage which is directly below my living room. Everything leads back here and the cat cable from the fibre ONT leads here from the other side of the garage also. I have 2 redundant gig links to a switch in the living room where it was weirdly easier to go outside the garage, up the outside wall and then back in to the house.
There is a rack mount standard desktop with a 4 port Intel NIC and an IT mode HBA, 6 spinning HDDs, an SSD and 2x NVME drives. This is my main Proxmox server running Opnsense and a whole host of other services, including email. On to of it I have a monitor, 3 external HDDs used for backups and another desktop I picked up cheap which runs as the Zoneminder CCTV box.
At the very top there is a cheap POE dumb switch that powers the CCTV camera and then a Netgear 24 port switch with VLANs configured for various networks - Main, IoT, VoIP, CCTV… I have the same switch up in the living room also.
At the very bottom almost invisible is a Belkin UPS and a strip adapter that has several smart plugs in which I use to power my backup drives. That way my backup drives are off, not just unmounted unless a backup is running. The aim was to avoid any attacker / system wide issue taking down the backup drives. I sleep a smidgen better at night for that.
Not pictured is an Odroid HC2 that lives upstairs and that I had hoped to rig up as a remote backup device, but I’ve never really got around to setting it up properly or putting anything other than a small capacity HDD in. It does run HomeAssistant though so that’s pretty useful.

Yep! I’ve found that the case is possibly a little too cramped for my liking — I’m not overly fond of the placement of the drive bay hangars — but overall it’s been alright. It’s definitely a nice form factor.
Why did you go with a CPU with DDR 3 ram?
It wasn’t a deliberate choice. It was simply hardware that I already had available at the time. I have had no performance issues of note as a result of the hardware’s age, so I’ve seen no reason to upgrade it just yet.
