Servers
- What Runs in My Homelab, and Why Each Box Is There
Five machines, most of them past their tenth birthday, running DNS, backups, home automation and an AI admin assistant.
- Adding SATA Ports to an Old Desktop With a 4-Port PCIe Card
My Proxmox server had three SATA ports and three drives. A Marvell 88SE9215 card added four more with no drivers or setup.
- A 2015 MacBook Pro as a Full-Time Homelab Admin Box
An old MacBook Pro running Ubuntu 26.04 now hosts Claude Code, my documentation wiki and the morning checks for the whole lab.
