He showed up in boots… AND NOTHING ELSE
Looking good! Funny I happen across this post when I’m working on mine as well. As I type this I’m playing with a little 1.5” transparent OLED that will poke out of the rack beside each pi, scrolling various info (cpu load/temp, IP, LAN traffic, node role, etc)
#humblebrag lol
Seriously tho, this is super awesome. I was gifted an 8 bay NAS several months ago and caught the bug again too. I’ve been slowly changing out the 4TB drives with the 16TB ironwolf pro’s and downloading all the things. I have sonarr, prowlarr, and syncthing working so far, but I have to say, that was a pretty big pain in my assholes.
I have been running my server from an old 2018 Mac mini that I had laying around and just the other day found a good deal on a nicer NUC for Black Friday. I’d like to take it up a notch when I do the migration & add radarr, overseerr, and it sounds like dockerr and some others as well. This post was just the inspiration I needed!
Do you have any resources you could share that you used, or at least that you wish you would’ve used to educate yourself and/or simplify things? Most of what I’ve accomplished so far has just been through random discoveries in forums & research I’ve done from there. It feels a bit amateur and I’m wondering whether or not I should just start from scratch. I’m assuming there has to be a site where I can read about all my options & how they interact.
Cheers man, thanks!
Waveshare 1.51” transparent OLED. Comes with driver board, ribbon & jumpers. If you type it in Amazon it’s the only one that pops, just make sure it says transparent. Plugs into GPIO of my Pi 5s. The Amazon listing has a user guide you can download so make sure to do that. I was having trouble figuring it out until I saw that thing. Runs off a python script but once I get it behaving like I want I’ll add it to systemd so it boots on startup.
Imma dummy so I used ChatGPT for most of it, full …ahem… transparency. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m modeling a little bracket in spaceclaim today & will probably print it in transparent PETG. I’ll post a pic when I’m done!
