How it started:
I bought a MiniPC (Blackview MP-80) to run Home Assistant and some lights etc. to go with it.
It’s now exactly one year later this is what my setup looks like now:
BMAX B2 Pro --> Home Assistant OS
Blackview MP-80 --> Proxmox --> Nextcloud-AIO & Immich
ODROID H4+ --> Proxmox --> TrueNAS
How it’s going:
With the heatwave in Europe I’ve now installed cooling to keep my HDD’s from heating up.
I know it’s Janky as hell, but I love it. The plan going forward is to buy a 3D Printer so that I can 3D Print a custom 10" rack, and I’ll build my own cooling and temperature monitoring system with ESP32 and create a dashboard for it in Home Assistant and sorting out networking.
It’s a work in progress, having a lot of fun learning and adding new things.
Very much so, but I do enjoy gross overkill.
I’ll build them into a future case then they won’t be as overkill
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing!
There’s nothing that could possibly go wrong with this strategy. 😂
