As everyone have said, it depends on what you want to have in your server. I started with an old lenovo I bought in mercado livre for 200 BRL. It was a DDR2 PC with 4Gb ram. I bought an ssd and installed Debian. Used for years. After that I tried to build a DDR3 PC. Made it with 800 BRL and it’s decent to run my docker containers like an arr stack, nextcloud, VPN, reverse proxy and vaultwarden.

Wait, can I share a printer on my network that does not have a network card?!

Sober is pretty decent nowadays. I had it installed for my daughter last week and she’s been playing roblox with no issues besides my old machine ram limitations.

Cool!

XFCE. It’s lightweight, easy to tweak and looks great. I run it on my 6 y.o. potato laptop

The dog got on the bed and licked my butt. Ruined the evening as we couldn’t stop laughing.

Hey, I just ran my docker compose file today and misteriously it worked! Have no idea what might had happened that day…

I use lidarr with the open trackers that come with prowlarr…for known artists is great but for Brazilian music I usually use soulseek with a nicotine + container…It depends on your music taste. More pop stuff you can find with lidarr…I had difficult to find some Brazilian singers (MPB and bossa Nova) …that’s why I tried soulseek…Now I mostly use it for everything though

I had some issues to set up slskd …the yml file is confusing…I had one search with results and right after that my connection went down…couldn’t figure what happened so I stuck with my nicotine+ container…maybe I’ll give it another shot

You’re good. Self hosted vaults are not affected by that

Gonna try that thanks!

I hear you. I’m getting tired of the massive amount of posts about trump and elon and politics. I don’t see almost any new content about other stuff.

Thank God I self host!

Picture taking a dump;

Pants down;

Is that a g-string?

Great watch though

I use nicotine+ to download my music and it’s great! I can find almost everything I want to hear in flac. Maybe not the best choice for playlists but for downloading albumns is awesome

I tried slskd but couldn’t set it up. Config file is confusing and did not know when the yml was being edited or not even though I clicked to edit it…so I kept my nicotine+ instance runming… Its not optimal since I can’t access from my phone but it works like a charm on the desktop

Totally agree! I’m not a programmer and I have several services running in my home server. I’m just curious and have used Linux for a decade as a normal user. With just these 3 basic knowledge skills you’re good to go.

This was my media server and kodi player for like 3 years…still have my Pi 1 lying around. Now I have a shitty Chinese desktop I built this year with i5 3rd. Gen with 8gb ram

Yeah S2 is not so good so far…just watched 2 episodes and they were not that good…too slow. S1 was really good through
