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

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.
Heat, then suction?
On a related note, I solved the battery issue with my wall mounted Fire tablet (for an HA dashboard) by connecting the power supply to a smart plug and setting up an automation to only give it the juice for about 3 hours per day, spread throughout the day
Seven Raspberry Pi 4’s and one Pi Zero, mounted on some tile “shelves” inside some IKEA furniture.
So nobody is going to ask about the rotary phone?
It’s a GPO 706, which is a classic British bakelite phone from the '60s. I have it hooked up to a SIP trunk through an OBi 100. Right now it can receive calls but not make them because I haven’t gotten around to sorting out a pulse-to-tone dialing converter yet.
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

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.
That monitor looks so sexy.
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.
lmao mine looks simple af compared with most people here.
Behold my server :
Hardware:
-
Rasberry pi 5 8GB
-
1TB raid between old drives ( one from PC the other a just a regular external WD hard drive ).
Services
- Wireguard VPN/wg-easy
- AudioBookShelf
- Freshrss
- Vaultwarden
- Navidrome
- Calibre Web
- Actual Budget
- Trilium notes
Everything in containers, if you want to know more check this blogpost.

What are those machines on the floor?
The meat and potato’s of my homelab. It is just a Proxmox cluster hosting some things.
Most of it is pretty ordinary as I just have a bunch of Debian VMs hosting docker compose. Ansible for deployments and I am working on moving completely to NFS for storage.
The two notable things I have is a virtualized NAS running TrueNAS and a virtualized desktop running Linux Mint. The NAS has a pcie sata controller passed though with two SSDs and the desktop has a RX580 and the USB controller passed though. The tower seen in the back has both of those currently and what you can’t see is my monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Here are the services I’m running:
-
Jellyfin
- For movies and live TV
-
Nextcloud
- my files and the Nextcloud suite
-
Matrix
- not really used much
-
my website (it is not much at the moment)
-
I’m using busybox http
-
Graphana and Influxdb
-
monitoring. I will eventually move to something else.
The hardware is the follows:
-
Dell precision tower with a i7-6700k and a standard ATX power supply
-
Lenovo think center with a i5-8500
-
HP whatever its called with a i5-8500
Also the router and my AP (not in picture) is running OpenWRT with vlans
-
My little cluster
Optiplex gang represent
