I'm building my own home server using only a Raspberry Pi 5
Hey techies! Finally, in 2024, I managed to fulfill one of my dream projects: building my own home server. With just a Raspberry Pi 5 and two 4 TB hard drives, I’ve set up a server that handles a lot of awesome local services. Here’s the tech stack: NAS with OpenMediaVault: Makes storage for data from various devices super easy. Photo management with Immich: Keeps my photo collection organized and accessible. File sharing platform with OwnCloud: Access files from anywhere. Self-hosted ChatGPT using Chatpad.ai: Having my own AI bot on a local server? Why not! Local DNS with Technitium: Smooth DNS management within my home network. Web proxy via Squid: Faster web access thanks to caching. Media server with the ARR Stack: All entertainment content in one place. Calibre Web for eBook management: Keeps my eBook library organized and accessible from anywhere. Cloudflare Zero Trust: Keeps external access to the server safe and secure. ZeroTier: Connect to the local network from anywhere, without feeling the distance. And much more to explore! This server runs 24/7 with a power consumption of around 15-27 Watts. Pretty efficient, right? ...
