Minimalist homelab



"I'm just running a very modest homelab server for music streaming purposes thanks to Navidrome. It's totally fanless ! There is a small TP-LINK switch (2 ethernet ports) at the back of the PC. It runs on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. Why ? Before, I was running Ubuntu Server (much better) but had many freezes... I didn't know at the time that the second ram slot was the culprit... Instead of using a SATA SSD, I wanted to try a NVMe SSD thanks to the BIOS modding of the Q1900-ITX. It now supports NVMe booting from the only PCIe X1 2.0 slot... It's slower than a regular SATA SSD but I like the fact that I don't need cables to power it."
