Hi!

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I ended up buying an Asus barebone with an i5 CPU. An ssd for OS and since nothing else fit an M2 for storage. Installed Ubuntu since I'm a noob. Then docker, then portainer. Set up all the "arrs" (sonarr etc) in containers. The M2 is short term current media I'm watching and deleting after watching. The old Nas is mounted as more long time legacy storage.

It's far from perfect but that's how it went.

Next time I'll probably build a big all in one rig from scratch on a mini ATX base with space for all kinds of storage. But that'll have to be a project for future me. 😊

TL;DR: Google Assistant is being slowly mothballed and resources are instead turned to Bard which eventually will become the "New Assistant".

Nondualism. I looked in direct experience.

Please show me how slave trade and colonialism played any part whatsoever in Scandinavia. I'll wait.

For Android I recommend Calm. Or if you don't want to spend money on an app like this then Insight Timer is the way to go.

However if you're actually aiming to waking up, then the app for you is just that, Waking Up. Not for the faint hearted. Do not start if you're not in it for honest, real awakening. It is very disturbing if you're not prepared. ❀️

Ah, sounds like an i5 is probably overkill, and then some πŸ˜„ Maybe an i3 or similar... I'll have to check around what my local vendors in my country has that hits just right on the "bang for the buck"-scale.

Homelab n00b looking for hardware and OS advice (lemm.ee)
 

Hi everyone!

I saw this video yesterday (https://youtu.be/vjDoQA4C22c) showing a nice custom homelab build that's a lot of bang for the buck, and I felt that it was time to replace my tired old Asustor NAS with something more fun. But I would like your wise advice and experience. 😊

Purpose:

  1. Torrentstation - automated with Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr via qbittorrent and through Wireguard VPN.

  2. Media server - I am currently running Plex Media Server on the NAS, but it sometimes struggles. I can imagine moving over to Jellyfin.

  3. File backup - standard, photos, etc. Local backup mirrored to cloud service.

  4. Other bits and pieces such as Home Assistant, AdGuard/PiHole, tinkering with some Linux stuff [insert your best tip here]. πŸ˜€

In the video, he builds his own NAS based on an n5105 NAS motherboard. I'm looking at the new topton i3-n305 mini PC maybe, which is said to have slightly better performance (?). Both seem to be energy-efficient, quiet and very good value for money.

But I am open to other suggestions. Preferably as small a form factor as possible as I would prefer to hide it away in the small junction box cabinet or in the TV cabinet.

I've also been looking at an Intel NUC (i5 or something) and just throwing in my two NAS HDDs into a two disk Raid enclosure and connecting via USB-C. Yes/no?

Then OS and software wise. What should be the base on this thing? Ubuntu? As I mentioned I want to set up qBittorrent, Sonarr and Radarr like I have to today. Get them to work downloading the media I want and then run a Plex or Jellyfin server on the machine simultaneously that my Nvidia Shield Pro can connect to and run the media to my TV.

Thank you in advance! 😊
