I’m new to this, and having a lot of fun.

I started with the Blackview MP80 running Ubuntu(Minecraft server on docker and Home Assistant in a VM)

Then I bought the BMAX for 82€ and moved HA on to it so I can wipe the MP80 and play around with Proxmox and Nextcloud erc without breaking my home automations.

Yesterday I got the Hardkernel H4+ with 16gb ram and 2x 6TB 2nd hand commercial grade HDD’s (testing them now, 3 month guarantee)

Looking forward to setting up ZFS pools for the first time, ans probably move my Nextcloud AIO over to the TrueNAS app

    You gotta embrace the jank! Also, he’s got them in some kind of stand. That looks reasonably stable to me.

      I love my janky temporarily solution.

      I made a stand of old ikea plastic parts I had laying around, screwed them together and have both drives supported from both sides and connected together.

      If I directly bump the drive hard enough they’d fall, but I’m pretty confident I can shake the table really hard and they’ll be fine.

      I’m hoping to get a 3D printer to make a more permanent solution
