<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>So you want to make your own homelab? We can get started on that!</p>
<h1>What computers would I need?</h1>
<p>You can use any computer, whether it can be a <small>small</small> or a <b>big</b> one!</p>

<p><i>First one is a small computer, which can do simple stuff like host files;<br>Second one is a simple computer but can be turned into a server;<br>Last one is a server that can be mounted on a server rack.</i></p>
<h1>Example hardware</h1>
<p>These are hardware I would want to have on my server</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.signa.com/products/signa-xeon-w-series-pro-single-gpu-workstation-w9-3475x-36c-72t-w9-3495x-56c-112-rtx-4060ti-4090-gfx?variant=46418349097274">Example 1

</ul>
<h1>Software</h1>
<h2>Services</h2>
2023-11-20 14:46:30 -05:00
<p>We will need some services to host content like pictures, videos, or having a game server. Otherwise, what is the point of having a server?</p>
2023-11-20 14:07:42 -05:00
<ul>
<li><a href="https://jellyfin.org">Jellyfin</a>: Media server for your legally obtained movies/shows.</li>
<li><a href="https://nextcloud.com">NextCloud</a>: Cloud server (or known as a Google Drive/Dropbox alternative)</li>
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software)">Samba</a>: Local file server, don't need a web browser for this!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Operating Systems</h2>
<p>An operating system is the essential part of a server. Without it, nothing will run!</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux">Linux</a>: Recommended for stability and most popular, Linux has a lot of variety, but <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution">distributions</a> like <a href="https://ubuntu.com/server">Ubuntu Server</a> is a good choice!</li>
<li><a href="https://www.proxmox.com/en/">Proxmox</a>: Great for experts and can launch multiple services in separate containers/VMs.</li>
<li><a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows">Windows</a>: It just works. Can be a great start for your home server, use it to share files within your network, and run simple services (like a Jellyfin server).</li>
</ul>
<h1>What do I use?</h1>
<h1>Synology DS918+</h1>
<img src="img/synology.png" alt="Synology Server" width="50%">
<img src="img/synology_physical.jpg" alt="Synology Server (Physical)" width="20%">
<p>It has been my main server since 2020, it currently hosts all of my files and uses 13 TB. It also can host other services like Jellyfin, a Minecraft server and some Discord bots.</p>
<h2>Specs</h2>
<ul>
<li>CPU: Intel Celeron J3455</li>
<li>RAM: 8 GB RAM</li>
<li>Storage: 3x6TB WD Red NAS HDD, 1x4TB WD Red NAS HDD</li>

<img src="img/nextcloud.png" alt="NextCloud Server" width="20%">
<p>I host all public websites in this server. Whether its for my own services or services for my friends. Oh yeah! These are publicly accessible websites like my <a href="https://cloud.alee14.me">cloud server</a>, and a <a href="https://wiki.aircs.racing">wiki</a> that I am hosting right now.</p>

<br>
<img src="img/lenovo.jpg" alt="ThinkCentre M800 SFF" width="30%">
<p>This is a recent addition as it is being used as my main VM server, where I could easily spin up a new virtual machine without it slowing down my main machine and able to do complicated tasks. This computer was refurbished and bought from Newegg for $188.99 (with taxes) / $179.99 (without taxes), and replaced the 256 GB SSD with the current SSDs below.</p>
<h2>Specs</h2>
<ul>
<li>CPU: Intel Core i5-6500</li>
