Help to set up HomeLab in a newly built house in c/[email protected]

Thank you very much for your answer

Currently I do run Plex only for myself in Local, but I plan to start sharing it with some of my family members who live abroad. So there could be 4 simultaneous playback in 4k.

I also plan to have a house quite domotized with many devices so Home Assistant is going to need good memory and CPU so it won't be too short.

Thank you very much

I think I'm going to decide for a dual Nuc or miniPc configuration to run both VMs and Docker containers and then build a storage box with TRUENAS, what I'm not clear is what Hardware to use for this box, I want something relatively cheap since I'm only going to use it as storage and RAID, all the other processes will use the miniPC capabilities.

Could you advise me what hardware to use for this?

Thank you very much

I find this option quite interesting but I don't understand the final configuration.

It would be to have two NAB6 mini PCs, I have seen them on Amazon and they are good machines. To those two machines install Proxmox and make them high availability.

And then to that add a box with Truenas for storage. This is what I see a bit more complicated. Can you advise me something to build that does not go too much price?

Only with the miniPc the budget would go to 900€, I currently have a synology ds220+ (that I plan to sell), with 2 4TB hard drives.

I would migrate those two disks to that machine that I would build with TrueNas or Unraid.

Could you recommend me a not very expensive hardware to build this box?

Thank you very much and best regards

Thank you very much for your answer
Could you recommend me which NUC models would be suitable for this?
I currently have a synology ds220+ and I have been very short especially with the Plex server I have to limit it to 1080p because otherwise the other services are very slow.
Thank you very much

Help to set up HomeLab in a newly built house (alien.top)
 

Hello everyone, I am building a house, and I want to have a very good HomeLab for it, I want to connect all the home automation (Home Assistant) that will be enough, cameras with frigate or something similar, media server with Plex or Jellyfin (4k transcoding and about 4 simultaneous users), with their containers .arr, more containers for different purposes etc, something powerful and if possible that does not have a very high consumption. I have already thought about the routers and swich that will be Unify with POE ports to connect cameras, access points and others, the biggest doubt is the Hardware for the HomeLab. I would like it to be all in Rackmount format with more than 4 bays for hard drives, a powerful processor like an i7 13gen.

​

Could someone give me a little guidance to see how to do it? Hardware, chassis etc? I'm not very clear and do not know how to follow.

​

Thank you very much in advance and greetings.
