This better not be Rick Astley…

Timtowtdi, doesn’t say there’s necessarily a correct one.

+1 for Fractal Design Node cases. I’ve used the 304 (it’s Mini ITX, Mini DTX) for years as a NAS case and I love it!

Like an animal.

(Nice avatar BTW)

I run a J5040 ITX board for my homelab needs, which has been released a few years ago and has served me well, even through I run it with more RAM than the board specs allow. The natural successors of that are the Atom N100/N105 and the i3 N300/N305 (all 1 Gen newer than J5040) and AFAIK the Atom N150 and i3 N350 (2 Gen newer), all of which are available on ITX boards. Models for the latest chips might be a but rare though, and you might have to go to AliExpress to get one, but for the N100/105/300/305, there’s a wide variety available. Just make sure to get one with enough SATA ports for all your disks, so you can use it for NAS as well.

Disclaimer: I’m quite sure this is enough for your homelab/NAS use-case, but I’m not familiar with Minecraft requirements, and you might need beefier hardware for that. However, the above boards leave enough room in your budget for RAM, NVMe and HDDs, should deliver quite some bang for the little buck you have, and will barely sip energy, making cooling easy.

Interesting option, I’m familiar with Git, YAML and yq. Thank you!

Uuuuh, thank you for the info, it’s very much appreciated!

Well, I do have a PaperlessNGX already, so I could use a custom field for SerialNo or something like that, but I just feel like PNGX isn’t really designed for this task.

Not at all, I like .md, and I’m familiar with Git. A spreadsheet is not something that I would throw into Git, but an .md…

Thanks, that sounds really nice!

HA, the term I was looking for is even on their website: “Asset Management Software”. My non-native speaker ass didn’t come up with this.

Thank you, I will check those out.

Though it sounds interesting for tinkering, I’m probably not doing down the NoCode route. You make it, you maintain it forever, and I don’t have that kind of time.

Oh yeah, I was planning to deploy Grocy anyway, but I never thought about using it for this. Thank you!

Yep, maybe it really is. I just wanted to see of there’s something nicer out there before settling.

I think I recall seeing Netbox a while ago, and I remember thinking that it would be something I’d like to use at work, but we already have idoit there (which I hate passionately).

The Forgejo guys have built this themselves, so I’m aiming to use that (I don’t just yet, because I can’t find the time).

I have no reason to expect any different, but I would have a better night sleep if Shoutrrr were still actively maintained. I get that there may be no features to add, and I’m OK with that, but there are >50 unresolved issues that no one is taking care of, and I would assume that every software needs to be tested against new versions of libs, frameworks, OS releases etc., and I’m not OK with a project not doing that.

Sorry for being unclear, that’s what I meant. Set rules using the Ansible module, make them persistent by notifying a handler that makes a cmd call.

Yeah, ansible.builtin.iptables makes the changes and the task then notifies a handler to invoke iptables-save.

+1 for zramswap, especially if you’re tight on RAM but have a few CPU cycles to spare.
