NextCloud, Home Assistant, Paperless NGX, Minecraft, Caddy for some Hugo sites/blogs, Unify Controller, Vaultwarden, Traefik, Sabnzbd. Used to do WireGuard but now I use Tailscale, AdGuard home and FoundryVTT. It's all docker-compose. I'm thinking of taking some services off the internet using TailScale, some already are just on the Tailnet (Home Assistant and Paperless NGX), all my SSH ports are now only open to the…

> I love Tailscale, except for the battery drain on my iPhone Same, I hope they can fix this soon. :(

Yah it really does destroy my battery on iOS.

Maybe you do, but some of us are actually, unironically, torrenting Linux distros.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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…

> A Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB of RAM will cost $75 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!

IIRC the approved resellers do not sell them over RRP, which you can find via the official website - when they have them in stock.

Opinions my own.

I will probably get downvoted for this (unless, as I expect, the vast majority are in the same boat), but my answer is: nothing. I don't mean this to discredit people who actually run home servers, just sharing my own experience. I have a "prosumer" grade £120 ASUS gigabit router, which has a perfectly adequate settings UI, firewall, port forwarding, and supports NAS via a USB HDD, or 4G failover if I ever happen to…

Why are you assuming 100-200W power draw? That seems way too high when an old laptop would only use like 15W. My ARM server sips power and runs everything I throw at it.

NixOS got me into homelabbing. Before nix, the maintenance burden of running a home server felt too high. Now I run lots of things, and the incremental cost of running one more service or app is low enough that I explore lots more.

Here’s what all I’m running:

- NixOS based router. NAT, DNS, DHCP.

- NixOS NAS + app server. ZFS for storage, and I run radarr, sonarr, NZBGet, nginx hosting various websites and reverse proxy to most of the services listed here, homebridge, zigbee2mqtt, Octoprint, grafana, and more.

Let’s encrypt/ACME certs for each virtual host, and it Just Works thanks to the NixOS nginx modules that make it super easy.

I highly recommend NixOS if you want to have a single service running a ton of different apps. It will keep you sane.

On my homeserver (a Raspberry Pi), really just OpenMediaVault to manage data backups, Jellyfin for local media streaming and a Kiwix server which serves local copies of a number of services like Wikipedia.

I have a VPS where I "self" host more stuff, like Nextcloud, Mealie, Paperless, etc.

There's a NUC in my basement connected to my router over gigabit ethernet: - Caddy acting as a reverse proxy in front of the other apps - Wallabag to capture articles I want to read later on my e-reader - Calibre Web to manage my ebooks & PDFs - Two Minecraft Bedrock Edition servers for my kid & their friends - Yopass for secure password & secret sharing Prior to this, I had a Raspberry Pi in the closet for hosting a…

Be careful with calibre-web; it's had a ton of vulnerabilities. To the author's credit, they are typically addressed quickly, but there have been enough related to auth to make me wary.

RPI4 8GB with 9TB of SSD attached running Yunohost is sitting behind a PfSense firewall. About a dozen people have accounts, and we have these apps installed: -Nextcloud with the full suite of apps inside to cover most internet services needs. -Mastodon -Synapse(Matrix) -Metronome(XMPP) -Borg backup

Your hypothetical new plex box does not need a discrete GPU. Plex makes really good use of Intel Quick Sync, and transcode quality has been indistinguishable or better than NVIDIA since about 5th gen. A Celeron G4900 (8th-gen dual core, 3300 passmark) has been benched as capable of 21 simultaneous 1080p transcodes.[0] TL;DR: pick up a NUC knockoff with an >8th gen celeron or i3; it'll handle anything a casual househo…

The place you specification is a thread posted in 2019 talking about a Dell prebuolg. Do you mind posting the link for the nucs? Or is it in that thread somewhere? Or is that dell actually a nuc.
