Post your setup. no matter how uggo
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
Could I interest you in some diagonal bracing today?
Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin? Am I missing something here ?
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.
I had the same thought - an entire 8U rack to hold a single raspberry pi with an external drive?
Come on guys, that’s a whole 8TB.
There's no rules here
Its a rack mounted rack without the server.
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.
Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin?
What would be wrong with that?
My 12u setup On top I have two pi's; home assistant and pihole The ONT for fiber, hue bridge, and hdhomerun.

Battery UPSOk, 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.
Runs Debian Bookworm
Hosting:
- DNS server
- DHCP server
- web server (just some internal pages)
- print server
- file server (24TB RAID 5 managed with OMV)
- immich
- jellyfin
Probably some more stuff I'm forgetting. It's basically my everything box.
My little cluster
Got the same optiplex to eventually replace the pi.
Nice and clean.
Very easy to find good deals (and parts) on these 1L business PCs!
Optiplex gang represent
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?
Small, 10 inch rack, with some 3D printed rack mounts.
This is great. I have couple of those HP machines which are awesome but was just stacking them on my desk. 10 inch rack will be great for them. Need to do some hunting.
My HP has a 65 watt CPU built in, when it's running at full load it is quite loud.
An old HP laptop with Debian hosting Klipper and Home Assistant. Waiting for an OTG cable so I could replace the laptop with a phone for less power and heatUsing phones with a continuous power supply might do nasty things to the battery.
Source: I finally figured out how to open a glass back phone with no tools.
Not taking a picture, but here's what I have:
- Ryzen 1700 in a giant case sitting on my desk (desktop PC is on top of that in a mini-ITX case); 2x 8TB HDDs, connected to network over Wi-Fi; hope to cut the size significantly once one of our ITX boxes need an upgrade (both Ryzen 5600s)
- Mikrotik router (5 port) and Ubiquiti AP sitting next to my bed; Mikrotik handles my local static DNS for my public services
Running:
- Jellyfin, as well as Samba and some other NAS stuff
- HomeAssistant (nothing monitored though, but I plan to add my Sensi thermostat soon)
- Actual Budget
- Nextcloud
- Vaultwarden (currently unused, plan to switch soon)
I also have a VPS to get around CGNAT, and I have a Wireguard VPN configured so communication is encrypted.
Plans:
- upgrade NAS to either a mini-ITX motherboard or a mini-PC w/ external USB-C enclosure
- actually run Ethernet - have been putting off for years
- configure my Sensi thermostat in HA and maybe get some other smart home crap
- use Nextcloud more - want to get SO using the notes app so I can finally kill Google Notes for shared shopping lists
- port my PF spreadsheet to LibreOffice and actually learn to use LO Calc (currently using Google Sheets); I use GoogleFinance func for stock quotes, so I need to replace that with some other workflow (mostly rebalancing investments)
- replace our TV or at least have an alternative for Jellyfin - the config disappears whenever our TV WiFi screws up, which is like 2-3x/month; screw you LG...
So yeah, somewhat simple. My family likes Jellyfin, but I haven't really gotten them on board with anything else.
Testing an image post from Voyager client...
I only own the gear marked A and B, which lives above the couch I call home.
A is my web services 24/7 Proxmox box, an Intel 8500T; 2 routers; an 8TB HDD; and a Back-UPS Pro so old its ethernet surge protection is rated for 100bT, with a brand new LFP battery in it. The UPS powers both A and B.
B is my personal Proxmox box, an AMD 5750GE, which I use for development and running desktop OSes which I remote into, plus a GL.iNet Slate AX router. These come with me if I stay someplace other than the couch (not pictured). That's why they're on different shelves. Also, there's a USB wifi dongle w/antenna connected to B which I used when some stupid website demands I drop my VPN (all traffic from everything pictured is routed thru 24/7 private VPN endpoints, aka a $2/mo VPS or three).
Just a NAS for now. Plan to add PiHole at some point.
That's a nice setup. I am weirdly jealous of the sliding shelf. The CS350B is very nice as well.
Mines nothing special, i5 10400 with 16GB of RAM and a 1050ti for video encoding. System runs TrueNAS Scale for Plex and Immich and has 44TB of drives running through a Dell H310 PERC SAS card. I desperately need more storage but I've been lacking the funds for new drives, I'd also need a 5.25" drive bay converter to hold the 2 additional drives I need in this case since all the bays are full, and another SAS card since this one's used up.
I'd like to move to Jellyfin but from what I've read it doesn't do as well for streaming from outside the network compared to Plex and half the users of my server are outside my network. So it works for now.
Also have a Raspberry Pi 5 running PiHole
Also a buddy 3D printed a fan mount for the H310 to make sure it doesnt overheat when doing file transfers and I slapped a Noctua on it
Rack server on a lack IKEA table.
Install Linux on both ps4 and switch and selfhost something on them
A simple homemade NAS, mostly for hosting my Plex library, VPN+torrent and cloud.
The synology needs to be emptied, removed and sold.
The m2 Mac mini was hosting some docker like pihole and actual budget but those are now on another Mac mini used as a workstation, so this one will be sold as well.
How's your experience with actual budget been? I've been considering it and am currently using YNAB.
I made the switch from YNAB cause !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world
I only had a small understanding problem at the beginning but then I quickly managed to replicate my YNAB (and import the data).
Now that I’m used to it I don’t see any problems and I like it. I believe you can try it locally without running the server version.
The lack of mobile app could be a downside but I don’t budget on my phone.
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.
From top to bottom:- Patch panel (with artisinal, handmade cables)
- TP-Link managed switch Shelf 1:
- PFSense 4 port firewall
- Lenovo m910q w/Proxmox (cluster node 1) running 2 VMs for docker hosting: Ubuntu for media stuff (arrs, navidrome, jellyfin, calibre, calibre-web, tubesync, syncthing) and Debian for other stuff (paperless-ngx, vikunja, vscodium, redlib, x-pipe webtop, fasten health, linkwarden, alexandrite), 1 Win 10 VM for the very few times I need to use windows, some Red Hat Academy student and instructor RHEL 9 VMs, and an OPNsense VM for testing Shelf 2:
- HP Elitedesk G5 800 SFF w/Proxmox (cluster node 2) with an Nvidia GT 730 passed through to a Debian VM used primarily as a remote desktop via ThinLinc, but also runs a few docker containers (stirling pdf, willow application server, fileflows)
- Shuttle DH110 w/Proxmox (cluster node 3) with 1 VM running Home Assistant OS with an NVME Coral TPU passed through as well as a zooz 800 long range zwave coordinator (the zigbee coordinator is ethernet and in a different room) and two LXCs with grafana and prometheus courtesy of tteck (RIP) Shelf 3:
- WIP Fractal R5 server to replace the ancient Ubuntu file server to the left (outside the rack, sitting on the box of ethernet cable) that is primarily the home of my media drives (3 12 TB Ironwolf drives) and was my first homelab server. The new box will have a Tesla p4 and RX 580 GTX, i7-8700T and 64GB RAM in addition to the drives from the old server. I'll be converting the Ubuntu drive from the old server into an image and will use it to create a Proxmox VM on the new server, with the same drives passed through. Bottom:
- 2 Cyberpower CP1000 UPS with upgraded LiFePO4 batteries. The one on the left is only for servers and only exists to give the servers time to shut down cleanly when the power goes out. The one on the right is only for network devices (firewall, switch and the Ruckus R500 out of shot mounted higher in the closet)
Here's my messy-cabled 9u rack.
It has:
- Fiber gateway out of view on top of the rack.
- Switch, which also powers 2 Ruckus APs and 2 other switches.
- Mikrotik RB5009 router.
- Raspberry Pi x3 all running Debian Bookworm. I have too many pis right now, running Home Assistant, LibreNMS, Log collection, and a read-only NUT server that orchestrates shutdowns and startups on power loss. I need to consolidate these.
- 1L PCs. One is on Debian serving media and files. The other is a test server where I'm trying out Immich on openSUSE. I'm considering moving to that and rootless podman for services. To that end I have another of these 1L boxes on my desk trying other options (MicroOS, Fedora IoT, maybe others).
- HDs. These are backup drives for the 1L server. I keep them powered off except when needed.
- UPS and a managed, switched PDU.
Everything is set up for low energy consumption (~90w), remote administration, and automatic recovery from power loss.
Synology NAS running media server + live document editing server + seedbox. Plans to eventually build a proper server for it. Can't wait until my setup looks like the rest of yours.
The alebrije on top protects from bad torrents (only linux isos :v) and viruses.
A bit concerning that it is propped up on a night table and sitting right next to a doorway. There's only two of us in the house but I would never place electronic equipment like that near a doorway where I myself could just knock it over (because I've done stuff like that in the past). Get it on the floor or on the opposite side of the room where no one including yourself can walk or move around near it.
How do you like immich? Any thing you don't like? Favorite features etc? I have a setup I built, but, immich looks very nice
Nice trapezoid
