Only use jellyfin. Have a list of things want to update… but it works for now.
Yes that is a laptop usb cooler used as supplemental placebo cooling. Also a pc fan I have propped up against the hard drive feeding into the pi.
Can’t recall last time used the ps4 or switch. But they’re there

Damn, that’s actually pretty sexy for a fresh-air rack How’s the noise levels?
Running TrueNAS with 4TB usable mirrored storage, 32GB RAM, and an i5-7600. Mostly holds backed up files from my switch from Windows to NixOS. I’ve got it running Frigate with a Coral TPU, Gitea, Homer, Unifi Controller, and Uptime Kuma. I was managing some helm charts on the TrueNAS k3s cluster with flux but conveniently dialed back to only using their built-in apps right before they removed it in favor of docker only.
For the network I’m running OPNSense on a Protectli device with Ubiquiti Unifi for the wifi. The native WireGuard integration on OPNSense is pretty nice.

My whole empire, made almost entirely of parts scavenged from roadside signs. (not a single fan on the whole setup)
Very tidy!
- Old Synology NAS for storage
- Optiplex 7060 running jellyfin, paperless, *arr stack, handbrake, ripper, maybe some other containers.
- NUC5 running nextcloud (nextcloudpi) baremetal and an audiobiokshelf container
now that is uggo. but i may be able to top it. doesn’t have to pretty for me if it works
Your machine is going to get fried
What do you mean? Because no ups?
No, the case is open and there is stuff everywhere. At some point something will fall in and it will cause chaos
Oh, definitely. Waiting on a power supply for that machine. Using a backup that doesn’t quite fit right now.
shes listing to the starboard side
My dirty data diddler. 10+ yr old amd octacore black running at 4ghz. 4TB of writeable space in it. HD and SSD mix. Old sb xfi audio running to a BT5.0 USB dongle for my games and music. Pioneer CD/DVD writer. Yes I still burn CDs and DVDs for my music and backup purposes heh. White cable on the right hanging vertical is a USBC data/charging cable. The squirrely wires lefttoright are a power line for a digital clock I’m gonna hang on the wall soon.
16TB btrfs (+ECC RAM) on Debian 12.

Nothing wrong with simple! If it works for you that’s all that matters!
What made you go with a RPI 5?
Oooo I should do something like this! Right now I have a Pi 4 with OMV and just OMV on it. It’s even running on a SSD. It could do so much more!

Is that just, like, an external hard drive?
Ikea shelf instead of a rack, but I used metal shelves for better thermals!
Top to bottom:
- Unifi ac
- Brother printer
- Sunshine streaming machine
- ftth 1 / 2, unifi GW pro
- AVR, UPS, Synology NAS

A HP Thinclient that I run lighter services like my Pi-Hole and Homebridge. and a laptop
The cable modem is no longer in use, finally got fiber in my neighborhood but the ONT/GW is in the basement. Beelink is my single (for now) proxmox node, HP is running Plex w/ Intel iGPU for transcoding. DS220+ NAS w/ 2x 16TB drives. Unifi switch 8 and USG-3P (fiber ONT/GW passes through to that and it’s soon to be replaced with a Palo Alto 410, thanks to work) and then another Unifi 8 port lite in my basement office where the ONT/GW lives. Nothing special, very ugly but I hope to upgrade the wired network to 10g in the future to support a proxmox cluster and my ISPs 5Gbps offering. Also plan on converting my old desktop into an Unraid box since I can get a lot of drives from work and don’t really want to stick with the Synology.
This is how I started in a tiny room. I am not proud, but maybe good to show between all the shiny thongs here.
Christ Almighty
