A mess.
I only use the highest of grade when it comes to hardware
Case: found in the trash
Motherboard: some random Asus AM3 board I got as a hand-me down.
CPU: AMD FX-8320E (8 core)
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 5x2tb hdds + 128gb SSD and a 32GB flash drive as a boot device
That’s it… My entire “homelab”
Beautiful. 🫠
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.
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 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.
looks like this and runs NetBSD
Services:
- OpenSSH
Why?
I don’t understand, why what my lemmy?
I have 5 servers in total. All except the iMac are running Alpine Linux.
Internet
Ziply fiber 100mb small business internet. 2 Asus AX82U Routers running in AiMesh.
Rack
Raising electronics 27U rack
N3050 Nuc’s
One is running mailcow, dnsmasq, unbound and the other is mostly idle.
iMac
The iMac is setup by my 3d printers. I use it to do slicing and I run BlueBubbles on it for texting from Linux systems.

Why do you host FreshRSS and MiniFlux if you don’t mind me asking?
I kind of prefer mini flux but I maintain the freshrss package in Alpine so I have an instance to test things.
Thank you. I’m looking at sorting an aggregator out and am leaning towards Miniflux
Internet:
- 1G fiber
Router:
- N100 with dual 2.5G nics
Lab:
- 3x N100 mini PCs as k8s control plane+ceph mon/mds/mgr
- 4x Aoostar R7 “NAS” systems (5700u/32G ram/20T rust/2T sata SSD/4T nvme) as ceph OSDs/k8s workers
Network:
- Hodge podge of switches I shouldn’t trust nearly as much as I do
- 3x 8 port 2.5G switches (1 with poe for APs)
- 1x 24 port 1G switch
- 2x omada APs
Software:
- All the standard stuff for media archival purposes
- Ceph for storage (using some manual tiering in cephfs)
- K8s for container orchestration (deployed via k0sctl)
- A handful of cloud-hypervisor VMs
- Most of the lab managed by some tooling I’ve written in go
- Alpine Linux for everything
All under 120w power usage
How are you finding the AooStar R7? I have had my eye on it for a while but not much talk about it outside of YouTube reviews
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
1) DIY PC (running everything)
- MSI Z270-A PRO
- Intel G3930
- 16GB DDR4
- ATX PSU 550W
- 250GB SSD for OS
- 500GB SSD for data
- 12TB HDD for backup + media
2) Raspberry pi 4 4GB (running 2nd pihole instance)
Only 2 piHOLES?
Not sure is this a joke, but I dont see a reason to have more than 2.
Sorry forgot the /s
You play games on that server don’t you. 😁
I have a Kasm setup with blender and CAD tools, I use the GPU for transcoding video in Immich and Jellyfin, and for facial recognition in Immich. I also have a CUDA dev environment on there as a playground.
I upgraded my gaming PC to an AMD 7900 XTX, so I can finally be rid of Nvidia and their gaming and wayland driver issues on Linux.
Does Immich require a GPU or can it do facial recognition on CPU alone?
It can work on CPU alone, but allows for GPU hardware acceleration.
Nice. I gotta try it.
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.
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?)
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…
- An HP ML350p w/ 2x HT 8 core xeons (forget the model number) and 256GB DDR3 running Ubuntu and K3s as the primary application host
- A pair of Raspberry Pi’s (one 3, one 4) as anycast DNS resolvers
- A random minipc I got for free from work running VyOS as by border router
- A Brocade ICX 6610-48p as core switch
Hardware is total overkill. Software wise everything is running in containers, deployed into kubernetes using helmfile, Jenkins and gitea
Bit of a mess right now . Amd ryzen 5800x with 6800xt , yr gigs of ram. Running Ubuntu 22 . Also have a ps3 and ps4 set up to the main monitor. A second work computer under my desk with both PC’s hooked up with a KVM so seamlessly switch between work and gaming.
What KVM?
Now I realize you may have been asking what kvm I’m using . It strapped to the bottom of my desk so you cant see it . Here is the exact one I have TRENDnet 2-Port Dual Monitor DisplayPort KVM Switch with Audio, 2-Port USB 2.0 Hub, 4K UHD Resolutions Up to 3840 x 2160, Connect Two DisplayPort Monitors, Dual Monitor KVM Switch, Black, TK-240DP https://a.co/d/epAHtkR
Yeah, that’s what I was asking. DP KVMs are a bit of a hit and miss. Any problems with it?
This one works perfectly was just a little expensive. I got cheap one the first time and my monitors would turn off and on with my gaming PC .
It’s a device where you can plug in things like monitors, mouse keyboard, etc and then that plugs into both PC’s and you can switch back and forth without having to unplug anything. here is an example of one . 4K@120Hz DisplayPort KVM Switch 2 Computers 2 Monitors DP1.4, KVM Switches Dual Monito 8K@60Hz with 3 USB 3.0 Ports Share Keyboard Mouse Printer (EDID Plug and Play) and Wired Remote, USB3.0 Cable*2 https://a.co/d/h9vJ0Uu
A single nuc with I dunno what
