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
An old HP laptop with Debian hosting Klipper and Home Assistant. Waiting for an OTG cable so I could replace the laptop with a phone for less power and heat
Using phones with a continuous power supply might do nasty things to the battery.
Source: I finally figured out how to open a glass back phone with no tools.
My little cluster
Optiplex gang represent
That’s so weird at first look on this picture I was like: “What’s O…P…D? 🤔” LOL
Got the same optiplex to eventually replace the pi.
Nice and clean.
Very easy to find good deals (and parts) on these 1L business PCs!
So mines a weird hodge-podge of a HP Proliant under a bistro table that I use as a standup desk, and a laptop. Both connected to the displays.
Seven Raspberry Pi 4’s and one Pi Zero, mounted on some tile “shelves” inside some IKEA furniture.
What do you do on that many pi’s that could not be done easier on 1 x86 box?
This is how I started in a tiny room. I am not proud, but maybe good to show between all the shiny things here.
Christ Almighty
Could I interest you in some diagonal bracing today?
From top to bottom:
- Allpower Power Station (UPS with around 4 hours of battery)
- Unifi gateway
- Unifi switch
- Unify CloudKey (Surveillance)
- Patch panel
- 1.5U media server
- Arock Mini running stuff like my Lemmy instance and other self hosted software.
I’m planning to move my Lemmy instance to its own 1.5U.
The whole setup uses around 80-100 watts.
Just a NAS for now. Plan to add PiHole at some point.
The small board you can see is a pi hole
I do have more tech elsewhere but this pile is comically ugly
messy asf, a proper hobbiest system
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
Oh, definitely. Waiting on a power supply for that machine lol.
This one gave me the confidence to post my setup, I salute your bravery (°_°)7.
The best of luck with your future insurance claim.
My 12u setup On top I have two pi’s; home assistant and pihole The ONT for fiber, hue bridge, and hdhomerun.

Battery UPSOk, now this is just showing off. Patch cables all the exact required length and everything all nice and neat. I bet you check your backups regularly and do a monthly DR fail over test too.
…Kidding aside, your setup looks really good.
Haha I need more Patch cables to get rid of those long ones. Also when I opened up the cabinet for this Pic I noticed the left fan isn’t dusty like the rest so it might be dead x_x
Where do you source your diagnostic dust?
I contract that out to my dogs, they go out and source the finiest dusts for networking diagnostics
The disks are the most uggo part. They’re a bunch of old disks of varying sizes with a RAID+LVM setup to make the most use of them while still being redundant.

Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin? Am I missing something here ?
Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin?
What would be wrong with that?
I considered it pretty heavy equipment for just a single service but that’s coming from my experience running like 8 vms on an old gaming pc and tearing my hair out over how janky it all looks (it works fantastically for me tho)
I guess it depends on your library size and how many users you are serving. My plex server has a library of over 110 TB and over 60 users, so to me a rack mount server for Jellyfin alone doesn’t sound overkill at all
So nobody is going to ask about the rotary phone?
It’s a GPO 706, which is a classic British bakelite phone from the '60s. I have it hooked up to a SIP trunk through an OBi 100. Right now it can receive calls but not make them because I haven’t gotten around to sorting out a pulse-to-tone dialing converter yet.
I’m in the middle of moving so everything is packed up. But this was the rack before we moved.
Networking, 3D printer, black and white laser printer and a color laser printer, several servers.
I had home assistant, Plex, Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, and many other services.
Servers are Ryzen 5950x and the other is a threadripper 24 core.
The other side of the rack was HDMI switchers and some game consoles.
Going to miss the 1gbps fiber internet, we now have Starlink.
