Usually a lurker.Maybe I should've just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment...

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • Idc. I like sharing about my hobby.

    I shared so much data about myself and what I host, an intelligence officer could probably hack me easier by just reading my posts, than a malware attacker could ever achieve.

  • I don't have worries about password managers like bitwarden as the vault is zero knowledge and encrypted with a, to bitwarden, unknown key.

    And I trust that bitwarden can secure their infrastructure better than me.

    About your question what I host at home:OPNsenseVeeam Backup and Replication (not (F)OSS but I like it and it's reliable. We also use it at work so it helps my profession)The *arr SuiteHortusFox (plant management)ImmichJellyfinSyncthingResilioUnifi Network Application (Also not FOSS)Uptime KumaWallos (subscription tracker. Pretty awesome overview!)PiHole

    Can't remember when I started.I believe it was around 2019 or 2020.It started with a Raspberry because I wanted a NAS but was too cheap for a proper NAS appliance like a Synology NAS.Fucked the install up a few timesBricked the OS install during an upgrade (had 2 USB powered hard disks plugged in. But the PI had not enough to supply both and itself during writing to it so the network share sometimes failed)Installed PlexFound out Plex doesnt allow transcoding with the free versionFound out Jellyfin and installed it on the Pi.Bad experience with Jellyfin and anime releases as they use ASS/SSA subtitlesLater upgraded to an i5-11th Gen NUC to get HWA transcoding on JellyfinFucked up the Intel driver situation but HWA somehow workedInplace upgraded the NUC from Debian 10 to Debian 12 and restored my docker container from backup (I assumed it would take like 4h or so to replace the SSD, install debian, install the core packages (like docker, etc.) and restore the files. In the end it took about 8h (after an 8h workday) and finished around 3am. But it worked. Very well on top.

    The hobby is expensive but rewarding.My stack:HPE 1930-24G PoE switchUnifi AP miniHP ProDesk SFF with an i5-7th gen (manually upgraded to something we were throwing out. Harvested the CPU. Crosschecked the BIOS support with the quickspecs by HP) (Proxmox with OPNsense virtualized)Intel i5-11th NUC (Docker host)Intel i3-13th NUC (primary Proxmox host. Holds the Veeam Backup server)Raspberry Pi 4 4GB (docker host with the sole purpose of doing pihole DNS)uGreen DXP4800+ with 4x15TB in RAIDZ2 (swapped the OS with a TrueNAS Scale SSD.)

    Newcomer:GL-iNet Slate 7 as my travel router. Configured a Wireguard VPN on it with the OPNsense guide. Worked very well.I have to commend the guide writer on it. But the steps were a bit confusing if you werent reading it carefully.

    Picture of my stack (literally) :)

  • Self hosting hardware - what are your experiences with Lenovo ThinkCentre as homelab server?

  • Regarding deals:If you are in Germany: Zoll-Auktionen does sell goverment surplus/decommissioned gear and also from seizes by customs.

    Sometimes there are decent offerings there

  • Don't forget about those prices:Price of the article

    • Shipping
    • Customs handling fees (at least in Germany and with DHL as the handler you can't not have itbwithout jumping through some hoops. DHL Express does it free but you have to provide the info for customs)= customs fees (article + shipping (+6€ customs service by DHL) + import tax (in Germany 19%))

    And that quickly adds.So assume 100€ for PC (IMO highly unlikely for those specs)

    • 30€ Intl. shipping from US to Germany (Assumption the parcel weighs >5kg and is tracked)
    • 6€ for DHL= 136€136€ + 19% customs (either VAT or Import if it's between private parties) = 161€

    (Depending on the price, customs may cite you to their office to open the parcel to proof if the contents of the parcel are correct the value goes over 150€)

    So yeah...Importing is quite a bitch.Better to search within the EU (assuming OP is from the European Union or Schengen region)
