Today I’ve spent the majority of the day researching different options I might have for self hosting (using the suggestion made here and more) and to say there is a lot out there is an understatement!

For now I’m going to see if I can get hold of an old laptop of mine and use it to do some testing on; installing different applications and seeing what I feel may suit in a more permanent solution.

Old laptop acquired! Now the learning and testing begins, starting with Proxmox!

It’s not a proper rack or anything special, but it’s a start! 🤩

Top Shelf

• Orbi RBR10 Mesh Router
• 8 port Netgear unmanaged switch
• SmartThings Hub
• Philips Hue Bridge (Hub)

Bottom Shelf

• Terramaster F4-424 Pro NAS server with 4 x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf HDDs.

Behind the Shelving Unit

• Semi-tidy cabling. It’ll do. 😅
