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 heatWait I see EMT piping for that printer frame… Did you convert an Anet A8 to an “EMT-8” like I did!? :D
Just seemed like a neat coincidence!
The stock A8 was such a scary fire hazard lol.
Yup you’re indeed seeing an EMT8 :D. This thing’s got a SKR mini e3 V3, E3D v6 clone and an E3D titan clone. I have a post about it in my profile.
I bet there are dozens of us EMT8 owners! Dozens!
That’s so cool! Nice work! I feel a certain kinship with anyone who also got tons of 3D printing XP by building, rebuilding, researching, modding, head-scratching, laughing, crying, screaming at an A8 lol.
This here is mostly fire prevention: Basically an updated stock motherboard, better PSU, an aftermarket MOSFET board for safety, thicker gauge wires with ferrule crimps for all the power cables, the bed is now attached directly to the thicker wires by way of crimp connectors.
The printing surface is upgraded to carefully cut and polished picture frame float glass. 😂
Added that sweet fan duct mod, a little Noctua 15mm (because it softened and jammed otherwise LOL), and printed that purple bracket at the library because the plastic decided to literally crumble away.
Also the adjustable Z-stop was nice but the PLA softened so it’s a bit unpredictable, and the right motor will gently slip until it’s engaged so the gantry needs to be leveled every time…I also can’t guarantee that the Z rods are straight anymore because it requires such a Goldilocks level of tension I probably overdid it lol.
Oh yeah, I had to replace the main power cable because the one provided just…had a break in it.
It still works for small jobs though! And it printed all those parts for itself, so that’s kinda the RepRap dream right there right??
Lol I feel like an amazing machine is in here somewhere if I bothered to research custom boards and stuff. The stock bearings are also terrible. But if I can bother someday I’ll stick Klipper on it maybe.
It was a crazy, stressful journey…but I learned a ton of electronics stuff, and how to use a multimeter, and engineering stuff! XD
My Ender3V2’s felt like such a crazy luxury by comparison. 😂
Yeah I thought this thing was pretty decent, way better than originally, but then I got to use a Prusa MK4 at school…
Using 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.
For what its worth, some Samsung phones can stop charging while the plug is in, while also not disconnecting anything on a USB dock (such as internet)
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.
What do you do on that many pi’s that could not be done easier on 1 x86 box?

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.

This is how I started in a tiny room. I am not proud, but maybe good to show between all the shiny things here.
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.
Oooo I should do something like this! Right now I have a Pi 4 with OMV and just OMV on it. It’s even running on a SSD. It could do so much more!
OMV has such a nice Docker management interface too. I really feel spoiled with it.
I was planning on all my services running in ProxMox or something, but my OMV VM handles all of them except PiHole basically lol. OMV is snazzy. :D
I have a second pi for Pi-Hole! I’ve tried using OMV’s Docker, but I am too dumb to get it configured D: Would you happen to have any resources for getting it up and running?
Hey sorry for the delayed reply! That’s a VERY good question, since things got a little different since they moved away from Portainer I remember a bit of friction switching over, but geeze it was a while ago…
I did find this link though:
https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7%3Adocker_in_omv
That might be similar (and possibly better organized!) than the guides I was working with when that OMV subsystem was still a bit new. I hope that might help! 🙂

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
- the Arr’s
- Linkwarden
- WireGuard
- Zoraxy
- ChangeDetection
- Forgejo
- MeTube/AnonymousOverflow/ProxiTok/RedLib/SafeTwitch/LibMedium
- Grafana/InfluxDB/Prometheus
- Homebox
- IT tools
- Mealie
- MiniQR
- Speedtest-Tracker
- Wallos
- Web-Check
Any chance on getting more info about the hardware specifics? From the sounds and looks of it this is almost exactly the scale of what I’d like and running pretty much the same things I’m thinking interested in.
You’re very welcome! I’ve provided a detailed overview of my entire setup on my blog, and following your request, I’ve updated it to reflect the latest changes.
You can check out the post here: https://blog.klein.ruhr/my-homelab/
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.
This one gave me the confidence to post my setup, I salute your bravery (°_°)7.
The best of luck with your future insurance claim.
Hey it works!
To be fair I just moved and had to get Plex back up for the wife and audiobookshelf back up for me asap! Should look better soon
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
-
Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin? Am I missing something here ?
Just a NAS for now. Plan to add PiHole at some point.
My Selfhosting setup:
- Apple TV 4K for HomeKit
- Intel NUC 6i3SYH with Proxmox (HomeAssistant and the rest of selfhosted services)
- SkyConnect
- Philips Hue Bridge
- Broadlink RM mini3
- Synology DS218Play
And a Logitech K400 Plus that I use when I have to use directly the NUC
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.
