How to Use a Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q as a Powerful Home Server
As an IT enthusiast, I’ve long been (and still are!) a fan of the #RaspberryPi mini computers. My main Pi already runs multiple services like #PiHole, #Navidrome and #Jellyfin – which often pushes it near its limits. Well, recently I found myself wanting to add even more services to my local network. Unfortunately, my NAS can’t host Docker containers, so expanding compute power became necessary.

Homelabers, I'm interested in what versions of Optiplexes and ThinkCenters you use?
By thin ones I mean those which are small form factors, not towers.
The towers I mean the big ones for heavier work loads.
Reply with any info/other devices you use for servers.

I hooked my GNU/Linux-loving son up with an old #lenovo #thinkcenter mini-PC that I picked up at a used AV store for about $50. For another $20, I upgraded the ram to 12GB.
He's got it setup it up with #debian as his first home server, with which he's now hosting a few static websites and an internet radio station for his friends and family. He's got loads of resources to spare for when he gets into running larger services.
You don't *need* to spend $30+ a month on cloud services when an old recycled office PC will more than suffice.
The best part? Helping him troubleshoot his problems with #DNS and #nginx and all that fun stuff. I've already made every mistake possible over the decades, and he gets to benefit from that. That how it should work!
Und da fliegt der Pi raus. Auf nimmer Wiedersehen, bye :D
Immerhin hat er jetzt glaube gesamt 4 Jahre das Pihole gestellt und nicht eine SD-Karte gefressen.
Im Zuge von der Umstellung von einem Pi auf ein #ThinkCenter Tiny.
Werden neben dem #pihole dann auch der #iobroker umziehen von seinem alten hp tiny pc.
Evtl. auch der letzte aktive Pi der mir dank #rtl_433 die Wetterstationen der Nachbarn ausliest :D
Mal schauen was man noch schönes auf die Möhre werfen kann danach.
Was man nicht alles noch mit einem alten i5-6600T und zukünftig 16Gb ram so alles mit den Dingern machen kann :3
