I recently came across this subreddit and noticed a lot of people are building pretty serious home servers. I’m curious. what are you actually using them for? Media? Hosting? Learning? I’d love to hear how people are taking advantage of their setups, especially if it’s something beyond just Plex or file storage.

Picked up a Dell Precision T7820 the other day out of ewaste, and Grabbed 128GB of RAM off marketplace for $AUD95.

The machine has dual Silver Xeons (2x 8C/16T); now 160GB memory; but a tiny tiny 256GB NVMe drive, and a single 1TB spinning rust drive.

Luckily the flex bays are intact so I can replace the NVMe drive if I want, and fit a total of 3x (I think) spinning drives.

I already have a 10-core/20-thread proliant server with 96GB RAM and 6x disks running all my services (which isn't much on my network...), and a fairly nice HP Z440 WS with 64GB RAM and a 6-core Xeon processor that is much faster single-threaded than the new one.

What should I do with the new machine? Any ideas? Other than sell it of course...

I was just looking at Termius on my phone and started wondering if there are any other good phone apps. Are there any other apps out there that have improved your homelabbing experience? I put Android in the title since I've never touched an apple product in my life but if there is a good iphone app I'd love to see it, since I hope I'm not the only one wondering this. I'm looking forward to seeing the response.

I am a beginner at homelabbing, but already have a few VMs and CTs up and running. This whole labbing thing is kind of a learning for me, so I thought it’d be cool to see network traffic and stuff like that with a self hosted service, learn from it etc.

My question is whether you know a best practice for ones who are beginners and trying to improve and learn.

I found WireShark, Zabbix, notpng, netdata and a few others

What is your recommandation?
