Home server in a nutshell

The home server is a desktop computer located at home that provides services for my own convenience and for users who access websites hosted on the server. At the time of writing, the home server is running Windows 11 Pro, with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS WSL on the side. The home server will be migrated to utilize Proxmox VE at some point to allow multiple systems running in parallel. Currently, the home server is running the following services:

  • Secure web services (with NGINX)
    • Private JupyterLab: Jupyter
    • Private Code Server: Code server
    • Kodimpi (Backup): Kodimpi
    • TODO: Backend server that connects to ChatGPT API
  • Website monitoring
    • Distill.io (3rd-party managed service)
  • Remote desktop
    • Microsoft Remote Desktop
  • SSH Server
  • Media and file services
    • SMBv2/v3 local share
    • Plex media server
  • Local llama (7B)
  • Dedicated light-weight computing resources in full-control (via SSH/Remote Desktop/Jupyter/Code Server)
    • PyTorch with CUDA
    • TODO: FFmpeg with CUDA
