Plan for my first homeserver
  • THX at all for so much nice comments. Got some good inspiration again. Maybe I search a little more for a little more potent mini PC. Buy an external drive as back up and use my koofr account a it more. Think I will go with Debian and a DE. Crucial or Kingston as storage looks nice. And yeah need to look what can I too with wireguard.

  • Plan for my first homeserver

    Hello,

    as you may can guess i am here because i need some help because i want to self host some stuff and i am pretty new to this stuff. I did a loto f research and i came up with a lot of stuff. I will present you my thoughts and maybe some people here can tell me if i am good or not.

    First the Hardware.

    I did a lot of research and came up with a HP Elitedesk 800 G5 Mini as my home server.

    It can hold 2x NVME SSD and 1xSata SSD. It has an Intel 5 9500T and is upgradeable to 64gb of Ram.

    I can get one from ebay used for maybe 150-170€. Then i need to upgrade the ram because it comes with 8gb only. I thought maybee upgrade it to 32gb for now. And buy 2 nvme ssds both 2tb dont know which brand is cheap and good there. The sata ssd could be my operating system i have 1 with 120 gb at home hope this is enough.

    The NVME SSDs are 1 for storage of mainly photos videos and maybe a small audio collection. The other is to make a backup of all this. (Mirrored)

    Second Operating System

    I know there area lot of things out there and i know people can recommend a lot of stuff but …. I wanna keep it as simple as possible for my first homeserver ... also i dont ´have too Much time with an 2 year old child. So my thoughts were using Ubuntu server with docker and portainer. Just that.

    Third My apps and Stuff.

    So mainly i wanted to run the following Applications on that.

    -            Immich

    -            Homeassisstant

    -            Joplin

    -            Audiobookshelf

    -            Calibre Ereader

    -            CalDav App for a Calender Sync with MY Phone and MY wife

    -            Pi hole

    -            Vaultwarden

    -            And Homarr as a Dashboard for all of this.

    Fourth Using all this from my phone

    Thats the only part where i didnt have time to do some research how i use all off that safly from my phone.

    I guess i need some kind of VPN for a secure use?

    I hope that part is easy.

    Son ow i shared all off my initial researches and thoughts. I hope i wrote not to much mistakes.

    And i hope you guys can help me out a little.

    Greetings
