  • I’ve got a Lenovo m910q in my basement with home assistant running on docker. (Also on that machine is an overly large set of docker images doing other stuff. I wish I knew enough about docker compose when I set up home assistant, because that’s the only server that will cause a bit of pain if it fails and I need to resurrect it. (I’ll do it right next time… )

    Partial list of services that PC has: home assistant, adguard, swag (reverse proxy), *arr stack(downloading files), calibre(book housing), jellyfin(movie and TV streaming), mealie(recipe management), habatica(habit fixing tool), homepage (to manage all the links and ports), and a 3 user Minecraft server. I only notice things going wrong when watching a movie AND playing Minecraft.

    I tried setting up orcaslicer, but so far I hate it. (Hosted, it’s not a pleasant experience)






  • What they said. Comment stuff out until it works, then SLOWLY add things back in until it breaks. There is probably one line that you can point to as problematic, and it’ll be easier to troubleshoot that way.

    My homepage dashboard is a bunch of links, any bad url was my fault, usually misformed.

    I had one case where I had placed files for download and found that homepage makes copies on start, so changing those on the fly doesn’t work and requires a restart. (Most yml changes don’t and only need a refresh)

    I believe docker labels also need more effort than just a restart, but I’m no expert there, I was forcefully recreating the image that I added labels to.



  • Questions to think about:

    What is allowed for mounting to the walls? Most landlords don’t take kindly to holes in their walls.

    How will this be prevented from racking? You might want some back wall support of your own.

    Are you planning on mounting to the brick or to the side walls? Many houses don’t have 90⁰ angles and you might find that your nice rectangular desk top looks terrible because the house is the wrong shape. (Those side walls are likely not as parallel as you want)

    How long are you going to be living there/how nice do you want it to look? Most likely, this will not travel as well to another place. Mostly because this will be very tailored to this place.

    If you make a back wall for the TV, you’ll be able to mount the TV to the unit, freeing up the lower surface and looking a bit cleaner.
