Debian 12 "Bookworm"
Ancient 2007 Quad Core Intel Q6600
ASUS P5N-T Deluxe Motherboard
8 GB RAM
64GB SSD for the OS and a few applications
6x2TB Laptop HDDs in RAID 5 - scavenged from electronics scrap
All wrapped up in a spare full tower I had from an old build
For now, the few services I have running are local network only. They are simply a few Docker containers running PiHole and Portainer. The RAID array is set up as a network share via SMB for my various personal devices to dump files to.
I am very new to the whole self-hosted thing and enjoying learning. Really, new to Linux, servers, networking, etc. Would love to hear some recommendations on what services I should look into, resources for learning more, critiques, etc. So far, browsing topics on here has been pretty helpful.
Not sure if I'm late on the draw here, but:
