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 -

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
You don’t need an amazing rig to do this. Don’t get fooled by the content creators with their sponsored content.
Learn and buy only after researching what you need. Build for your own needs not to some crazy spec someone on the YouTube tells you need.
A simple old pc with right software and working backup solution is all you really need. Just learn how to make it work safely.
100%.The strongest PC in my homelab right now is my old gaming PC featuring an i7-4790k, 16gb RAM, and sometimes it has a GTX 680 and others a 730 (neither right now though, for Reasons). 2nd place goes to a dual-core, 4-thread laptop from 2012 with hinges so broken I have to lean the screen back against the wall behind it. And before I retired that old gaming PC last year, that laptop ran my personal Jellyfin server for well over a year with no major issues!
I love the fact that your example of a “small-ish” homelab is way more overpowered than mine. Because my entire 40+ containers homelab runs off of a 13 yo NUC with a 10+ yo HDD and a (new!) SSD plugged into it. I regularly want to replace it by a more recent NUC but… there is not good reason, yet.
