Dockge for docker compose stacks. Glances for system resource usage because it has a Homepage widget.

All good recs so far but haven't seen anyone mention Infernal Affairs.

I am running my disks as mirrors.

I'm running a mini-PC with the N100, 12GB RAM, and 2x18TB mirrored drives on ZFS and it seems to work well.

I migrated using the CLI tool to upload before external libraries came out, and it worked well for me. I think I would have preferred to use external libraries for things like my wedding photos, so there aren't duplicates on my server, but it's not a big deal.

I always used fingertip with small hands and never thought it was weird. I just figured out maybe it's because I played piano growing up? It feels more natural to have a C shape with my hand and space between the mouse and my palm.

I have a Miband 6 and it's pretty nice. The advantage over bigger smart watches is the battery lasts like 2 weeks more per charge.

Yeah, the power prices in my city are really high (USA). They're even higher than Hawaii, from what I've heard. That's why I'm leaning towards the mini PCs and SBC options, even if used server/desktop parts have better performance for the price.

Is your NAS in an old tower PC?

I think I had the misconception that USB was slower than SATA, but USB-C is actually just as fast. And anything USB 3.0+ should be faster than 1 gigabit ethernet I guess?

The Thelio looks awesome, but it seems overkill for what to do and spend. I would probably do DIY if I wanted something with the specs of the Thelio.

Yeah, the mini PCs look great. How do you have your storage set up?

 

I use my desktop PC for Jellyfin and torrenting, but I'm looking for something that I can keep on 24/7 that draws less power and run other self-hosted services on Linux. I would like to have at least 2x 14 TB 3.5" hard drives in or attached to it with the possibility of expanding in the future.

From my research, these seem to be some good options:

  1. Mini PC like this Beelink S12 Pro + USB hard drive enclosure. The price seems reasonable for the specs and low power consumption. Not sure if USB will limit transfer speeds.
  2. ODROID HC-4 or similar SBCs. I feel like these have much lower performance for not much price savings, and it's harder to get software running up because of ARM. But it seems like they don't use too much power.
  3. Used enterprise PCs/servers. I know they can be found cheap used, but I'm a little lost at comparing the performance and power draw to other options.
  4. DIY build. I'm interested in getting a Mini-ITX case like this Jonsbo N2 and getting parts for it, but it seems like it will be the most expensive option. It does seem like the most modular and upgradable.
  5. Classic NAS products like Synology. It seems like these are falling out of favor because they are pretty under powered for the price.

What does selfhosted think about these options, and what would you recommend?
