I started this about a month ago, absolutely no idea what I was doing, and in that short time this little box has grown a ton. Got the basics for cloud storage, jellyfin with the arr suite, navidrome to replace spotify/tidal, etc. Got my scanner going right into paperless, finally starting a budget planner with actualbudget, even set up homebox to maybe eventually keep track of my collections of random bullshit. Spent 3 days fighting with Wireguard and gluetun to make a single VPN connection that’ll hook me into my LAN but also output all my traffic through Mullvad, using pihole as my DNS - I should get Unbound set up at some point too but that’s a project for another day.
Today I learned about homeassistant, and while I’m not one to care about IoT shit or whatever, just dabbling with NFC tags for the lights and such has been pretty neat.
This week I’m getting a second machine in that I’m going to use exclusively as a NAS and stop relying on USB external hard drives.
I really just wanted a little 24/7 Bob Ross box with a bit of cloud storage, and this project blew up a lot more than I thought it would LOL
