Me too, it's been a lot of years since I bothered with a home lab, but just recently I put NixOS on a triad of Intel NUCs work was throwing away. They're fanless, quiet and decent enough for Linux with their 16GB memory and 8 cores. Way better than a RasberryPi. Now I can do some experiments I wanted to do, but not use VMs on my laptop. Feels more real when I can see a little stack of servers I can pull the power on.…

I use an Intel NUC as a desktop. It's powerful enough for 6 virtual ubuntu machines (probably more) and running ceph and postgres nodes with Vagrant (not that I use them all the time, more for development)

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10710U CPU @ 1.10GHz, 1608 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s) 32GB RAM 1TB SSD

IntelliJ and Windows 11 runs fine.

Plex, Calibre, Photoprism, some homebrew backup scripts that interact with other computers on the network, some private security/camera stuff, and a slew of StableDiffusion/GPT models for text/image generation (which is what the majority of the server resources are usually maxed out with). Sometimes I'll host Steam/Minecraft servers for friends.

I would highly recommend paperless-ngx (organising scanned documents) and photoprism (organising photos). Both are excellent.

I have an FTP server running (open only to the local network) which allows me to have my scanner and camera upload directly to my server for ingestion into them. Similarly on my Android phone I have foldersync set up to send my photos to my server via sftp.

Mostly media server and home security related stuff.

Box 1: Truly ancient HP Proliant N54L - Bastion/DMZ machine, router forwards all incoming traffic to it - NAS - JBOD that I cobbled together over the years, storage is only ~12TB, and mostly used for media. - NGINX - proxies traffic to the rest of my network

Box 2: Some SFF Lenovo desktop - NVR, running zonemonitor - Dedicated storage for my home security cameras

Box 3: Some HP Prokesk Mini SFF - Homeassistant - Various docker containers running homeassistant ajacent stuff

Box 4: Another HP Prodesk SFF, but with 10th gen i3: Media server - Everything in docker - Emby - Radarr - Sonarr - Transmission - etc. - Latest addition to the family, I deployed this a week ago. I have to say I'm mighty surprised by the performance of the i3 for media transcoding. It can do at least one 4k->720p transcode without even breaking a sweat.
