  1. How to Use a Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q as a Powerful Home Server

    As an IT enthusiast, I’ve long been (and still are!) a fan of the #RaspberryPi mini computers. My main Pi already runs multiple services like #PiHole, #Navidrome and #Jellyfin – which often pushes it near its limits. Well, recently I found myself wanting to add even more services to my local network. Unfortunately, my NAS can’t host Docker containers, so expanding compute power became necessary.

  2. There's our own local stack running featuring online and family's impressed so far. issues the . The is also nice btw! Next stop trying with and test other nice things. Since my i3 is operating on it's limits right now, I've purchased an core i7 with 16GB RAM being our third host. 💪

  3. Homelabers, I'm interested in what versions of Optiplexes and ThinkCenters you use?

  4. I hooked my GNU/Linux-loving son up with an old #lenovo #thinkcenter mini-PC that I picked up at a used AV store for about $50. For another $20, I upgraded the ram to 12GB.

    He's got it setup it up with #debian as his first home server, with which he's now hosting a few static websites and an internet radio station for his friends and family. He's got loads of resources to spare for when he gets into running larger services.

    You don't *need* to spend $30+ a month on cloud services when an old recycled office PC will more than suffice.

    The best part? Helping him troubleshoot his problems with #DNS and #nginx and all that fun stuff. I've already made every mistake possible over the decades, and he gets to benefit from that. That how it should work!
