How it started: mp80
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: odroid
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.

    The one is a Iron Wolf, the other is a WD Gold, both of which are ~5 years old, they were LOUD when I had a database running on them. They are now a lot quieter than my work laptop so they don’t bug me anymore.

    Thanks for the advice, I really like these solutions I’ll definitely look into them
