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

Old setup:

Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 that I bought refurbished for ~€130

  • i5-6500T (Passmark score 4792)
  • 8GB RAM
  • 512GB SATA SSD + 128GB SATA SSD (completely used for swap)
  • Buffalo DriveStation™ HD-WLU3 that I bought second hand for €10
  • 2 × 2TB SATA HDD's in RAID 1
  • ~20W

Old setup

New setup:

Custom build

  • ASUS Prime N100I-D D4 (Passmark score 5501) (~€100)
  • 16GB RAM - Crucial CT16G4SFRA32A (€28)
  • 512GB SATA SSD
  • 4 × 4TB SATA HDD's in RAID 5 using mdadm (€160)
  • M.2 NVME to SATA 6x (ASM1116 for C-states) (€17)
  • 17.8W

New setup

(Not the Proliant Microserver Gen8 on top, the device below)

The antennas are from a Sonoff Zigbee dongle and a bluetooth dongle for Home Assistant.

I've mostly focused on power usage, price, and reliability since I'm a student and don't want to spend a month's worth of income on a "home lab".

It's running the following:

  • Forgejo
  • Grafana
  • Home Assistant
  • Jellyfin
  • Kopia
  • Nginx-proxy-manager
  • Paperless NGX
  • Photoprism
  • Syncthing
  • TimescaleDB
  • Uptime-kuma
  • Vaultwarden: As backup
  • Watch Your LAN
  • Arr stack (currently disabled)
  • Homebox: Still up for testing, like it has been for the past couple months. It's a great concept but the execution ain't great (does anyone happen to know an alternative?)

It's using about 10% CPU and is running below 40°.

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.
