General Info

Hardware

This is the hardware used:

• Intel Mini PC (N100 Alder Lake, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SATA SSD)
• WD external HDD 4TB
• Gigabit Ethernet

OS

I am using Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS as the main OS. Plain and simple, long support. In the future, I may migrate to Debian, but currently Debian 12 does not have the kernel version I want.

Software

Here's a list of the main services/programs used. It is approximately ordered by importance / ease of installation and, due to ease of installation, preferred order of installation:

• Pi-Hole
• Wireguard Easy
• Netdata
• NGINX Proxy Manager
• VSCode Server
• qBittorrent with webUI enabled
• Kernel Samba + SFTP (Simple NAS setup)
• Jellyfin + *Arr Software + Jellyseer
• Minecraft Server with Geyser
• Homarr

Backups

Right now, the backup strategy is only limited to software config files. For example, adlists and configuration of Pi-Hole or PiVPN profiles.
