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

    Seven Raspberry Pi 4’s and one Pi Zero, mounted on some tile “shelves” inside some IKEA furniture.

      What do you do on that many pi’s that could not be done easier on 1 x86 box?

        They’re fanless and low-power, which was the primary draw to going this route. I run a Kubernetes cluster on them, including a few personal websites (Nginx+Python+Django), PostgreSQL, Sonarr, Calibre, SSH (occasionally) and every once in a while, an OpenArena server :-)

          I did a 4 node Pi4 kubernetes cluster for about 5 years. The learning experience was priceless. I think most notable was learning to do proper multiarch container builds to support arm and x86_64. That being said, about half a year ago I decided to try condensing it all into two n100 nuc-like clones and keep one pi as the controller. For me and my apps and use cases there was no going back. Performance gains were substantial and in this regard I think I was hobbling myself after the educational aspect plateaued.

            Actually, as a web guy, I find the ARM architecture to be more than sufficient. Most of the stuff I build is memory heavy and CPU light, so the Pi is great for this stuff.

      Ok, now this is just showing off. Patch cables all the exact required length and everything all nice and neat. I bet you check your backups regularly and do a monthly DR fail over test too.

      …Kidding aside, your setup looks really good.

        Haha I need more Patch cables to get rid of those long ones. Also when I opened up the cabinet for this Pic I noticed the left fan isn’t dusty like the rest so it might be dead x_x

    was going through some old pictures and decided I’d post a retro setup. pretty sure I took this picture with my android g1…so 2008ish?

    here is a pic of one of my first selfhost setups. I began selfhosting for music and have never stopped. this iteration was stuffed behind a bar that was built in to the basement at my old house

    the old fashioned was custom built and was running some flavor of windows server. the one on the floor was the first Linux server I had run to do something useful…torrents and subsonic IIRC. I pieced that server together with random parts, mostly donated from old family PCs. two UPS units were on the bottom rack of that metro shelf to battery back the servers and the tomato router out of frame.

        oh, she was. found her several years earlier in a trash pile at an office building I was working at… with the protective plastic still stuck on the screen.

        she met her doom against a concrete floor during a studio shuffle… sad day.

        Right now I don’t have much to tinker with, so I got something that down the line would serve that role.

        Why the 5 specifically, instead of the 4 or other SBC came down to pricing in my region, raw power, and the PCIE slot in which I intend to put a nvme when upgrading my laptop.

      There’s no rack mount server there. I see a UPS, switch (network and Nintendo varieties), PS4 and mini PC

        My bad. I’m so dumb that I see a shelf UPS and I assume this is some advanced network shit. I have an old gaming pc and a mini pc as 2 nodes in my home network.

      This table rack was the most space savey option i could find. It looks less stable than it is. It is super minimal as far as the actual self hosting stuff goes.

      Room to expand eventually.

        I considered it pretty heavy equipment for just a single service but that’s coming from my experience running like 8 vms on an old gaming pc and tearing my hair out over how janky it all looks (it works fantastically for me tho)

          I guess it depends on your library size and how many users you are serving. My plex server has a library of over 110 TB and over 60 users, so to me a rack mount server for Jellyfin alone doesn’t sound overkill at all

    Below, a picture of my small rack, which is located in my home office. Due to the selected components, it is virtually silent and still bobs along at only 26 - 28° C.

    The hardware is divided into two Proxmox clusters. The first consists of the three Lenovo M920qs shown here and is home to my publicly accessible services and VMs, the second consists of the two Beelink EQ12s and is responsible for the internal services or those accessible via VPN.

    Not the greatest or best Homelab, but for me, it fulfils all my needs and at the same time keeps the electricity costs down to an unimaginable level.

    I host the following services on the public Internet:

    • Ghost CMS
    • Mastodon
    • Pixelfed
    • PeerTube
    • Lemmy
    • Rallly
    • Nextcloud with Collabora Office
    • Rustdesk
    • Umami
    • Uptime Kuma
    • Vaultwarden
    • Whoogle
    • Minecraft Server (for my son)

    Internally, I also provide the following services:

    • AdGuard Home (redundant)
    • FreshRSS
    • Homepage (Dashboard)
    • Jellyfin
