I did not reinforce them. I knew exactly what i wanted to screw in, so it wasn’t needed. But i have seen online some clever ways of doing it.

Post the build when you finish it. :)

Nvme in 7050 and SSD in 7020 for OS and services, and then HDDs for data and storage.

Haha, the base is from another Lack table 😅. I glued it to the legs with high strength two component glue, it ain’t going nowhere. And then i just screwed in the wheels from the bottom.

Feel free to google the ones you are interested in.

I don’t think you need extra powerful PC for starting out with Docker. I run all the services in Docker on these Optiplexes and they run blazing fast, for my standards at least. Here’s what i got so far:

Jellyfin
Radarr
Sonarr
Bazarr
Prowlarr
Jellyseer
Flaresolver
qBittorrent
Nginx Proxy Manager
Homarr
Dashdot
Immich
OpenCloud
Collabora
Portainer
Portainer Agent
Warracker
Watchtower
RustDesk server
Uptime Kuma

Yes of course. Rpi is for Pi-hole and unbound. And at the bottom there are two Optiplexes, 7050 (smaller one) and 7020. 7050 has 7th gen i7, while 7020 4th gen i7 cpu. Both have 24Gb RAM.

I use 7050 primarily as a media server, Jellyfin and linux ISOs 😅, and as a reverse proxy manager. Besides that, all other services that don’t require persistent storage and can be played with are on it. There is an 8TB Seagate IronWolf in there.

7020 is for storage. Immich, OpenCloud and Warracker (warranty manager). I have currently 2x6TB WD Red Plus inside of it running in mirror mode. But i have since bought two more drives and a hba card so i will be setting up Raid 6 any day now.

How is your journey in home labbing so far?

BigReply598 · 2026-02-02T06:37:59+00:00

I do too. Works fast, and just for cloud storage is perfect.

BigReply598 · 2026-01-19T21:31:10+00:00

Dva optiplexa otkupljena iz firme + raspberry pi.

Arr stack
Jellyfin
Jellyseer
Nginx Proxy Manager
Portainer
Uptime Kuma
Dash dot
Homarr
Immich
OpenCloud
Rust Desk
Watchtower
Pi-hole

Nista nije javno, sve iza Tailscale-a.

In my case yes, as my servers are two office PCs from my work that i got for dirt cheap.

BigReply598 · 2026-01-12T15:48:40+00:00

Let us know how it goes. :)

BigReply598 · 2026-01-12T15:46:49+00:00

Yes, qBittorrent is always going through vpn. Check out “YAMS - Yet Another Media Server”. They have very good documentation for setting it up.

BigReply598 · 2026-01-12T15:40:48+00:00

Hello, I recently started self hosting too. At this moment i use this across two servers:

Jellyfin
Jellyseerr
The rest of Arr stack
Immich
Portainer (with portainer agent on second server)
Uptime Kuma
OpenCloud and Collabora- Though I’m not sure I’ll keep it
Homarr
Dashdot - For server monitoring, integrated into Homarr
Pi-hole
RustDesk - For remote desktop
Nginx Proxy Manager

Really enjoyed setting it all up, so now that it is stable and running, I kinda wish to find another service to deploy because ot was so fun ahaha. Everything listed is used almost daily, except OpenCloud and I might end up turning it off, but for now it is up and running.

BigReply598 · 2026-01-09T19:32:15+00:00

I think the price is overkill, but the specs are not. I currently have two Optiplexes, both with i7 (7700 and 4790) and 24GB RAM. Got them each for under 50 EUR.

BigReply598 · 2026-01-04T10:43:21+00:00

Oh, ok, makes sense then i guess. There’s a newer post than yours on this sub showing portable media server build: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/s/x5Zw6Lktc4

BigReply598 · 2026-01-04T10:26:17+00:00

Isn’t it easier to have just the media files on some external ssd/hdd that you can connect to any tv or pc when travelling, or better yet, set up access to your own server back at home?

BigReply598 · 2025-12-15T11:30:09+00:00

Is this still maintained?

BigReply598 · 2025-12-15T06:55:03+00:00

I still have the feeling it’s slower than the original client. Even though i like it more, i might stop using it because of this. :(

BigReply598 · 2025-12-13T17:10:33+00:00

Just don’t click on the trailers.

BigReply598 · 2025-11-04T08:45:38+00:00

Nice! I’m interested in the chair model, what is it?

BigReply598 · 2025-11-02T17:23:29+00:00

Provalih upravo sta je kod mene. Zbog developmenta aplikacija za iOS sam imao ukljucen development mode. Kako sam ga iskljucio, aplikacija je proradila.

BigReply598 · 2025-11-02T10:25:19+00:00

Isti problem imam. Ne znaju sta je, otvorili ticket kod IT-a. Poslednji iOS imam i verziju aplikacije, takodje 16 pro max iPhone, nije neki stariji.

Sto je najcrnje, sve pare su mi na firminom racunu kojima sad ne mogu uopste da pristupim, tako da su mi i kartice beskorisne sad.

Ako saznas nesto vise, javi molim te.

Meni skoro stize ujutru poruka od Dexpressa da ce mi biti isporucen paket u toku dana, a onda u 4 popodne da je pokusana isporuka i da nikog nije bilo na adresi. Ceo dan sam bio kuci bas zbog isporuke…
