  • Here are a few of my favorites, some of which are exposed, some are not:

    • Mealie - Recipe management. Import recipes by URL is my favorite feature, then I tweak and try it out (I have to be gluten free, so this makes it easy to track what worked for us).
    • Homepage - a homepage to put quick links to all of my stuff, neat and clean.
    • Grafana - for visualization of current data of my systems, paired with Prometheus.
    • Technitium DNS - for all of my DNS needs.
    • Jellyfin - for all my media, let’s me pick out what my kids can see/watch without me having to look over their shoulder, along with being a great looking solution for me.
    • Immich - photo and video management

    All of these (and more, this is just a dsmple of favorites) run on Proxmox. I mostly use LXC over docker, personal preference.

    Home Assistant is probably the single most useful for me, already mentioned, just about everything at home is automated/controlled through there.





  • Tiny/mini/micro.

    You can grab a used box for under $200. Most I’ve picked up have been around $100-$125, then I drop in a new m.2 for the host, maybe add/change ram depending on what I got it with.

    Data lives on the NAS (really multiple for me, but besides the point here), and you’ll get waaaayyyyy more compute with a usff PC like that than you will with a pi or what a NAS can offer. They also run really light on power when you aren’t putting the CPU to work, so budget friendly in a bunch of ways.

    I’ve got a goal after a move my wife and I are planning to run the whole shebang on solar, with battery and a switch to utility power. I’ve got 10 of these little monsters now, after a recent addition, and its quite doable from my measurements of actual power usage.

    Which is a really long way of saying you may want to look at some tiny/mini/micro PCs.

    At least as far as my setup, yeah. Ive got 5th-10th gens, under high loads I’ll see a spike to 80+ watts, the highest is 170W but those have nvidia quadros in them.

    Edit: For gpio now I’ll just use an esp32 or something instead.

    My only pi usage these days is work stuff, and orangepi is supported there. In terms of arm, also Jetson, but that’s kind of outside the discussion here.
