My First Homelab
(media.piefed.social)
I'm new to this, and having a lot of fun.
I started with the Blackview MP80 running Ubuntu(Minecraft server on docker and Home Assistant in a VM)
Then I bought the BMAX for 82€ and moved HA on to it so I can wipe the MP80 and play around with Proxmox and Nextcloud erc without breaking my home automations.
Yesterday I got the Hardkernel H4+ with 16gb ram and 2x 6TB 2nd hand commercial grade HDD's (testing them now, 3 month guarantee)
Looking forward to setting up ZFS pools for the first time, ans probably move my Nextcloud AIO over to the TrueNAS app
I can't imagine why anyone would put themselves through the insane amount of effort it takes to figure this stuff out and set everything up. Yet I love it, just want to keep tinkering and doing more
Yeah it makes no sense, yet it's so much fun when stuff finally works like it should!
Everybody loves using Jellyfin at home, but they think I'm mad for spending countless hours setting up everything the first time, then a second time to improve, then a third time as I migrated HW.
Keep having fun with it mate! The possibilities are endless
