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

Your machine is going to get fried
What do you mean? Because no ups?
No, the case is open and there is stuff everywhere. At some point something will fall in and it will cause chaos
- Old Synology NAS for storage
- Optiplex 7060 running jellyfin, paperless, *arr stack, handbrake, ripper, maybe some other containers.
- NUC5 running nextcloud (nextcloudpi) baremetal and an audiobiokshelf container
Is that just, like, an external hard drive?
16TB btrfs (+ECC RAM) on Debian 12.
The cable modem is no longer in use, finally got fiber in my neighborhood but the ONT/GW is in the basement. Beelink is my single (for now) proxmox node, HP is running Plex w/ Intel iGPU for transcoding. DS220+ NAS w/ 2x 16TB drives. Unifi switch 8 and USG-3P (fiber ONT/GW passes through to that and it’s soon to be replaced with a Palo Alto 410, thanks to work) and then another Unifi 8 port lite in my basement office where the ONT/GW lives. Nothing special, very ugly but I hope to upgrade the wired network to 10g in the future to support a proxmox cluster and my ISPs 5Gbps offering. Also plan on converting my old desktop into an Unraid box since I can get a lot of drives from work and don’t really want to stick with the Synology.
So mines a weird hodge-podge of a HP Proliant (running my modded Minecraft server and Plex) under a bistro table that I use as a standup desk. A HP Thinclient that I run lighter services like my Pi-Hole and Homebridge. and a laptop
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 made you go with a RPI 5?
Nothing wrong with simple! If it works for you that’s all that matters!
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!

Ikea shelf instead of a rack, but I used metal shelves for better thermals!
Top to bottom:
- Unifi ac
- Brother printer
- Sunshine streaming machine
- ftth 1 / 2, unifi GW pro
- AVR, UPS, Synology NAS
This is how I started in a tiny room. I am not proud, but maybe good to show between all the shiny thongs here.
My tech stack:
And my storage NAS:
Bottom NUC: General compute
Top NUC: Proxmox with homeassistant, windows server and debian
Raspberry Pi4 inside N64 case: PiHole
Access Point: Unifi Pro
PC for gaming: R7 7800X3D + Nvidia 3070 inside Fractal North
NAS: Ugreen 4800+ with 4x 15TB drives for a total of RaidZ2 30TB usable storage. Used as NFS storage for proxmox.How it started: 2 8TB external HDDs connected to my bottom NUC.
Primary applications:
*arr Suite, Jellyfin, several minor apps.Used it for Minecraft server for a week then never used it again. Don’t know anything it would be good for that my computer can’t already do better tbh
Don’t use a RPI for hosting
Get a cheap used workstation instead
What do all you guys use these setups for?
Life
My primary use case is safeguarding my important personal artifacts (family photos, digitized paperwork, encryption key / account recovery / 2FA backups) against drive failure (~2TB), followed by my decently sized Plex server (23TB), immich, nextcloud, and various other small things like selfhosted bitwarden, grocy, ollama, and stuff like that.
I run all of my stuff off of a 6 bay Synology (more drives helps with capacity efficiency as double redundancy with 6 drives costs you 30% and I wanted to be protected against drive failures during rebuilding) with an Intel nuc on top to run plex/jellyfin transcoding using quicksync instead of loading the poor nas with cpu transcoding, I also run ollama on the nuc since it has faster cores than the nas.
The basement network and storage/server racks.
Heavy lifting boxes…
Why on earth do you have so many DVD drives. Also, are you using Windows?
Sorry to be so judgmental
Is that a Unifi PDU/UPS? Didn’t even know they made these.
Also, you need to peel the stickers of the screens.
That is what it is. My older CyberPower unit is down below. Was just easier to manage it all from one place. Need to repurpose that or sell it off…
The screens work fine with the stickers on. Never saw the point in peeling them off.
Only real reason IMO is dust can collect on the seam and it’s annoying to clean without taking the peel off anyway.
IDK why people get weird about it.
literally one these with loads of RAM and a wifi card, so i can fit all the shenanigans in one box
Not my favorite device
What is the Wi-Fi card for? What software are you using?
I may need this now. Would you are the brand? A recommendation?
