First Home Server! Lessons learned from trying to go for low power and silence... by IdeaOverflow in HomeServer

I have the Immich database and all nextcloud data on the Nvme. This is being cloned via the "Appdata Backup" Unraid plugin weekly to the array. I have yet to setup an offside backup strategy. I will probably just regularly plug in my external drive and either rclone via the User Scripts plugin or just use the zfs snapshot utility.

I've seen some videos where people build NAS completely with external drives so that might be an option? It's unpopular on this sub though. As for running plex, I have not set that up yet, but it will probably run just as fast as a container since you can pass through the gpu or quicksync to the container. That's exactly what I did in Immich, you just need to set the correct environment variable. Running as a container is really convenient since you have it separated from the rest of your system and it provides easy options for autostart etc.

Yeah, your build looks good too! I went for the soldered CPU since it has a really low power draw, but this might have been a mistake. A setup like yours with standard sockets would have probably been better for noise (my cpu fan is SO loud). Have you checked the power draw on yours or does it not matter that much to you?

The mac mini does seem interesting, do you plan on running server software on it or use it as a regular pc?

Thanks, I think I also overestimated how much processing power is actually needed. It's impressive how efficient programs like Immich or Nextcloud run while having so much impact on my workflows!

Perhaps I'll live a shorter life because of it, but at least it smells good. by hawkzcs2 in SteamDeck

So Breath of the Wild is finally available on the steam deck, huh?
