Dell Wyse 5070 off ebay. 2TB nvme in an external case I had laying around (just so happened to have been shuffling hardware around on other computers). Gave it to a relative who has their own setup with a battery backup and stuff. Tailscale and Duplicacy. 1.5 years and only issue I bumped into was the first external case I bought was cheap and bad. Went with something slightly more reputable and it’s been rock solid since.

31·3 months agoOkay but I do kinda wanna watch em kickbox more lmao that’s ridiculous
3·4 months agoI started by running Jellyfin on my PC with so-so success. Next move was to get a raspberry pi to screw around with. That went kind of poorly (hosted a website that was quickly ransomwared, lessons learned). Ditched the pi and got some used PC parts on FBM to spin up an Unraid server. I’ve been using that for years now, with some upgrades here and there to hardware and storage. There are a couple YT channels with spectacular Unraid content for self hosting. Trash guides for the arr stack. Years later and I now handle multiple servers using either Unraid or Portainer.
As others have said, it’s a very personal journey. Best of luck, happy to try and answer questions you may have.
I think I agree. I have a few self projects I’ve vibe coded and used a few months that I’ve considered putting out there open source and if folks wanna try cool if not whatever…but that’s probably how all of those dead projects start. I’m even hosting them on my own private Gitea and updating via Obtanium because I don’t want to bother anyone lmao. Wait crap Google is gonna stop me from doing this in a couple months huh
Tried Seafile, Nextcloud, and Filebrowser Quantum. Nextcloud won out, although FBQ with a few files for select individuals does remain.
Genuinely the one issue I have with it at the moment. Had been using Matrix since early this year. Got Fluxer up recently when they got the beta apps. Shut my matrix server down about a week later. It’s just nicer. Missing some things like E2E (for now) but my friends hated the additional step of having to put in that decrypt phrase anyway. Fluxer is easy and incredibly familiar out the box. Gonna keep my eye on Matrix clients though, but neither Element, Cinny, nor FluffyChat impressed.
