Just came across this post on Reddit (yetch, I feel sullied and unusual) and am sharing it because…god damn…that’s the endgame right here -

If you’re on here CaptainRedsLab, that’s an amazing rig.

Nb: I am not the creator of this project, I have no affiliation with them and I cannot answer any questions based on their build. I just think it’s cool as a shit and am sharing. YMMV

    Its an interesting build and cool, but this seems overpowered and overspecced to me?

    From his reddit post he’s hosting: Immich, Nextcloud (file sync across all devices), Frigate NVR (Coral AI detection + Home Assistant integration), Plex (with full *arr stack), pfSense (firewall, DNS, DHCP, WireGuard VPN, ntopng monitoring), Vaultwarden and Pfblocker. He says on the Youtube video: Plex, Home Assistant, Pi-hole, Immich, Nextcloud, Frigate, and more.

    Does this really needs 4 Lenovo PCs (1 used as the router) to run all this? Maybe he has multiple users and is going hard on the Immich and the security camera set up (including video processing?). Even then I just can’t see how this would make full use of all this hardware?

      To me it’s separating services, which I’m getting ready to do. I’ve got 40-50 containers running at any time on my Unraid server, and I’ve been meaning to migrate some of those stacks to their own dedicated machines, mainly for downtime/maintenance on my main server.

      Now I’m not going to go out and buy several PCs just for that, but I do have some old unused laptops that would love having Linux thrown on them…
