/hsg/ Home Server General

Home server thread


NAS is how most people get into this. It’s nice have a /comfy/ home for all your data. Streaming your movies/shows around the house and to friends is good feels. Repurpose an old desktop, buy a SBC, or go with cheap used enterprise gear. Lots of options and theres even a flowchart. Ask.

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a pfsense box and configuring some vlans. Theres always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re godtier already? Setup openstack and report back.

>What software should I run?
install gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Emby to replace netflix, nextcloud to replace googlel, ampache to replace spotify, the list goes on and on. Look at the awesome selfhosted list and ask.

>Datahoarding ok here?
YES - you are in good company. Shuck those easystores and flash IT mode on your H310. All datahoarding talk welcome.

>Do I need a rack and all that noisey enterprise gear?
No. An old laptop or rpi can be a server if you want.

I've been spinning up VM's, but I need something more permanent.
What's a good starter (specifics pls) for a server for home?

Got a used i5 w/ 8gb ram, is my home server now.

Some good shit.

bump !

Got a nifty Elitedesk mini for my home server. Works great, not even close to getting bottlenecked by RAM or CPU, and I don't need THAT much storage.

It does get quite a bit hot under Linux though, even after changing the thermal paste. Not sure what to do at this point.

do you goys use selinux

Sufficient to get started

I bought a NUC because I wanted something very low power but strong enough to handle some services. I have a pretty beefy HP server with 384GB of memory and two alright xeons but I have literally no reason to keep it running and it idles around 200-300w
