> 2x of docs.paperless-ngx.com/ (one for me and one for my partner) - I scan and destroy most of the letters I get. Ah, interesting. I have been considering finding a solution like that. How do you like it? Are there other alternatives you considered?

I used paperless for a while but ended up just saving pdfs to directories instead. I can find what I need without fancy OCR features by organizing and naming files sensibly. And I am fairly certain this will still work in 40 years, while paperless, or even Linux, might no longer exist.

How do you keep the server hidden from the public?

- Router in VM - Main workstation in VM with GPU passthrough (saves power by not having an additional machine running) - Nextcloud for files, calendar, contact sync - Joplin server for notes sync - Samba NAS for me and everyone else who lives in the house - Occasionally one or more Minecraft servers for friends - Jenkins CI for my open source projects - Mail server (using the ISP's mail proxy for outgoing) - qbittorr…

Joplin server, after my own heart. It’s great lets me setup accts for friends/family. I store all my recipes as markdown and anyone on the server can get my shared notebook full of them

- Bind for internal DNS zone

- Pi-hole on 2 Raspberry Pi 4s

- Chrony stratum 1 NTP from GPS on a Pi, my OPNsense router redirects all NTP traffic to it.

- Emby (like Plex)

- Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr/Transmission with VPN/SABnbzd for collecting lots of little boxes that fall off trucks.

- Calibre-web

- LibreNMS

- Omada/UniFi controllers

- Home Assistant

- Tailscale

Almost all Dockerized now but it didn’t used to be. One Ubuntu 22.04 server I built with most of it, and another TrueNAS box I also built for file sharing and secondary Bind server.

I have a feeling I’ll be running a lot more after reading the rest of the comments!

Is this for redundancy? How does this work?

I thought I was too hoity-toity for it, but I ended up gradually dockerizing most of the applications on my home server. It’s just so convenient.

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.…

For people that aren't getting free boxes from work, you can usually find used micro/tiny form factor Intel machines for around $120. That's more than a Raspberry Pi, but you can get a Core i5-6500T with 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and it'll use around 10 watts at idle (and top out around 50 watts). You'll get an M.2 PCIe 3.0 4x slot and a bay for a 2.5" SATA drive and support for up to 32GB of memory. You can put Proxmox…

Do you have a link to where I can buy a Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB) for under $150? The cheapest I can find through Amazon was $202.

I bought one before the pandemic (~2019) at Microcenter for, if I recall correctly, $90?

Seriously, if you know where to find one, please share!
