Ask HN: What's on your home server?
Not my home but my parent&#x27;s (as I&#x27;m a &quot;nomad&quot;). They recently built a new house and put me in charge of the tech with a handsome budget, so I built a rack just like it would be my place. Ended up costing 1&#x2F;4th of what other &quot;smart home&quot; companies quoted. We got way better bang for the buck and software capabilities.<p>On the server&#x2F;NAS, a QNAP TS-464eU (4x 4TB HDD RAID 5 + 2x 1TO SSD RAID 1), I&#x27;m running Container Station with 4 docker containers:<p><pre><code>  - Home Assistant =&gt; For all the home automation, displayed in the kitchen on a tablet.
  - Adguard =&gt; To remove internet trash and protect my parents when browsing the web.
  - NextCloud =&gt; For contact, calendar and file sharing in the family as well as backups.
  - Caddy =&gt; Reverse proxy to make NextCloud available from the outside.
</code></pre>
Computers (including mine) are backed up daily via NextCloud. The NAS is also backed up off-site with a cloud provider.<p>I did a more comprehensive list of the setup[0] if you are interested.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.craft.do&#x2F;s&#x2F;W8r9KufHct0zG7" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.craft.do&#x2F;s&#x2F;W8r9KufHct0zG7</a>
