Self-hosted machine. It was basically my old computer I bought back in '09. It’s a i5-750 on a Asus P5P77. It started with the 4 GB RAM I hadn’t sold until I upgrade to 8. I used a borrowed Nvidia GT730 and a 1 TB HDD at first until I upgrade my main PC GPU and bought a new HDD for the server so now it runs in a 4 TB HDD and my old GTX 1060 3 Gb. It’s a beast for my needs.

Jellyfin is the main reason I started my server. Initially it was so my mother could easily watch shows I would never illegally download. Until a realized it would be great for me too and friends. To not watch them…I mean, because that would be ilegal!
-
Qbittorrent…shit…oh well :)
-
Nginx, when I realized I could host my own development server and personal website
-
Komga, when I realized I could have the same benefits of Jellyfin with books and comics.
-
Tailscale, allows me to, among other things, use it as an online or LAN hard drive for me and people I like.
-
Samba, see above. It also works to keep a nice share folder between my main PC and my laptop
The more time passes the more I realize self-hosting is the best idea ever. I get new ideias every day.
I’ve went from 7 to LTSC. I didn’t realize how cool LTSC was until I had to use a W10 machine at work. There’s a good chance I’ll go full Linux when the support ends but I’ll have enough time to consider it.
