HomeLab

What started as decade old Synology NAS has become an overpowered Docker box to host various services (including this website!).

Specs

Unfortunately I had to resort to desktop parts given that I work a minimum wage job, but Theadripper coming soon! (This aged like fine wine, I would do unthinkable things for 128Gb DDR5 6000 RAM 6 years later.)

• Mirrored 20TB HDDs

  Will RAID if I get more

• Ryzen 7 7700X

  X3D out of price range

• 128Gb DDR5 6000

  ZFS cache is very memory hungry and so is Minecraft hosting (until the Rust impl gets finished)

• Unremarkable MOBO, PSU, and cooling

Services
