Just a basic ownCloud server. The qnap takes care of downloads and rss feeds, and also routing/dns/dhcp/vpn via a pfSense VM and dedicated NICs.
The ASUS box serves as a switch and WDS/WAP.

I think I'm under similar restrictions, yet here I am pretending to run a professional website because I've been running a multi-vhost nginx on a Pi for a month or 2. Chink range sniffers and whitehat web security crawlers visit it occasionally.

I host ESXi, Plex, Samba, Gitlab, HDHomeRun, a few IRC bots, a very very bare bones website written in PHP, and OpenVPN.

Not all open to the Internet, obviously. That's what OpenVPN is for.

Also PiHole for DNS filtering to block those pesky ads (which I havent redeployed since moving...)

bigass NAS converted from a cheap SATA-to-SCSI rack
bought it for the 8-bay backplane and redundant PSUs, ripped the SCSI controller and there was just enough space for an mATX board

it's setup to suspend and turn on on-demand when needed so it doesn't blow through my power bill

Newest edition is TheLounge IRC bouncer on Digital Ocean VPS. I also just got $100 in AWS credit. What do?

On my TS140 I've got emby, seafile, openvpn, and unifi controller.

I'm actually looking for a cheap server/nas to host Plex, any suggestions?

I'll probably need transcoding because of some shitty formats I'm getting lately.

also a bananaPi in the aluminum enclosure, w/ a 1TB sata hdd hosting music and for general file sharing in the LAN

next to it a fujitsu thin client running pfSense, with a pci-e dual GbE NIC and a 802.11n wifi card
routes 50Mbps through my PtP VPN without breaking a sweat, which is enough for my needs

an rPi zero W with an I2S DAC, connected to my amp and running a pulseaudio server

shows as a regular soundcard on my desktop/laptop and I can play through my speakers wirelessly and seamlessly from multiple clients

lastly another rPi zero W, together with a cheap class D amp, runs an MPD server (and also pulseaudio) so I can have music in my kitchen
can also act as a normal bluetooth speaker in case someone wants to play stuff from their phone

there is also a T61 running a webserver, which despite having a fucked GPU, is close to reaching 1 year uptime

no pic because it's 3000km away, it also runs an NFS server for offsite backups, which I can access here through a PtP VPN that connects the two pfSense routers together

I personally run it on a Dell Poweredge 2900 which I will come right out and say don't do.

Honestly, if its going to be dedicated to hosting Plex, something running a Core 2 Duo or Quad would be enough.

If you're lookin at server equipment then I'd say get something that you could run as a NAS and run Plex on top of it in a container.

The PowerEdge 2900 is a monster, but I justify it's use because aside from Plex it runs my Samba shares (where all the media is hosted anyway), IRC bots, and webhost. It also hosts all my gameservers when I run them. All while running Plex in the background. Plus I can take advantage of the Make My CPU Hurt option because lol why not.

Rented a number of VPS and dedicated servers over the years but finally decided to buy a server myself a few weeks back, a HP ML10.
Seems like the memory for it is fairly expensive at the moment though, DDR4 UDIMM, at about €10/GB? That sound right?

>>62318043
OwnCloud
SSH
Media server (limited to LAN)

>>62319760
You shouldnt need TOO much power your CPU for the transcoding

Before i upgraded, i was using this old piece of shit
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103942

and it handled plex just fine
>>
Personal files mostly.
>>
>>62320870
Also I use a NAS
>>
>>62318043
Openvpn, tinc and shadowsocks server at home and on vps
Netatalk (timemachine backups) on vps
Syncthing (using it for transferring files and backups to android devices)
Sonarr
Plex and HA (useless PoS, probably should delete them)

One of the Dells is a pfense firewall that needs to be configured. the other is a windows machine that does nothing.
