Goodbye Google - I self-host everything now on 4 tiny PCs in a 3D printed rack (CaptainRedsLab) - Lemmy.World

Just came across this post on Reddit (yetch, I feel sullied and unusual) and am sharing it because…god damn…that’s the endgame right here - https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1rmfwoa/goodbye_google_i_selfhost_everything_now_on_4/ [https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1rmfwoa/goodbye_google_i_selfhost_everything_now_on_4/] If you’re on here CaptainRedsLab, that’s an amazing rig. Nb: I am not the creator of this project, I have no affiliation with them and I cannot answer any questions based on their build. I just think it’s cool as a shit and am sharing. YMMV

Awesome stuff but here I am with my single mini PC that has Jellyfin and Immich wondering why I would need such a big setup.

At some point I realized that the more complex I make it, the more resources it needs and the more maintenance it needs so I only get things I think I really need.

I’m with you. I don’[ NEED a 5-node VM cluster on top of all the other crap.

But I wanted a 5-node VM cluster.

I went to a tech convention and a rancher dev had a demo backpack with a 5 node kubernetes cluster and I really wanted it. Just to have fun in a weird nerd sense.

I couldn’t even get immich to work properly :(

I need to spend another weekend starting from scratch but network protocol just completely evades me.

I run a lot of services on a single old NUC I got for less than 100 dollars. I added some RAM (back then when you could buy some) and a new NVMe stick later when, but since then this single machine could handle all I asked it to do.
