Print again same gcode. If the rings are at the same height its Z axis issue, otherwise model is just too tall

Exactly my setup

I run linuxserver.io docker container, disabled almost all apps and its been running rock solid and quite fast on old celeron. It takes 3-5 sec to open a web page, but I mostly use desktop/android app anyway

Id say rip blurays on your main PC/laptop and build low power device for server.

Streaming musing and sharing photos is not intensive task, but streaming 4k video is another storry. Unless you need 4k streaming you should be fine with almost any intel cpu that supports quicksync and with no gpu afaik. I googled that Lenovo and it seems like it has Xeon E3-1226 v3 which does support quick sync, so I bet it will run just fine. My celeron g3930 can transcode 1080p

Arctic F12 are quite cheap, I see no reason to buy used fans tbh. After many hours every fan will become noisy or die, but if your fans look good I wouldnt worry too much. I had 8 F12 running at max speed for 2-3 years and other than dust there was no sign of wear, but they are dirty af

Install mobile app and you can see everything there

I have two rpi4 running 0/24 for more than 4 years. Get quality SD card and you are golden. I would avoid it if you need to connect multiple USB drives, but seems like you are fine with SD only. I have no experience with pi 5 or any alternative brand

Agree! I had arr stack + nextcloud on rpi4 4GB and it was using bit less than 3GB after restart, but after some time it would hit 4GB and start using SWAP and I would have issue just like OP. Solved that by moving server to DIY PC with 8 GB, but then I added many more services and had to upgrade to 16 GB. Sitting at 4+GB free RAM all the time while using 40+ services

Onlyoffice is even better for me. Super compatible with MS

Glad it worked. Cheers 😉

Have you added this to your configuration.yaml

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 172.21.0.2

Where 172.21.0.2 is NPM docker IP

Its the only thing I had to do to make it working. Cant help much if something else is required

35W

DIY PC with 2 SSD and 1 HDD (it used to be 22W with 3 SSDs and no HDD)

Hosting arr stack, nextcloud, immich and many more (~40 services in total)

I never tried dockage, but portainer also stores all docker-compose on filesystem (probably at var/lib/docker/volumes/portainer_data/_data/compose). You can also use “backup” button in GUI to download everything in single tar.gz archive. Folder structure is not the best, but its not hard to figure out. I’m not saying portainer is better though

OP this is the answer but Ill provide simple steps in case this is not clear enough:

1. Install docker
2. Install docker-compose
3. Install portainer (command from the post above)
4. open Portainer GUI in browser using IP:8000 (from here you can do everything in GUI)
5. go to stacks and create a new stack
6. edit docker-compose for audiobookshelf - modify folder paths for volumes (example - change ./audiobooks:/audiobooks to /path/to/folder:/audiobooks)
7. paste that in stack and hit deploy
8. go to IP:13378 to open Audiobookshelf GUI
9. enjoy

Let’s Encrypt certs for my self hosted servers to include VaultWarden (which will not work with self-signed or http) as well as have easy urls for myself and family to use.

Im not expert, but Im using VaultWarden with self signed certs. Note that I didnt open it to public and I didnt buy a domain. I just made up a domain name and Im using wireguard to get access (together with NPM and pihole)

is there anything wrong with just running it in the background on a modern(ish) computer? My desktop is a 5900x with 64GB of RAM

Nothing wrong, but there are some benefits of running dedicated hardware and stable server distro. Rpi or laptop will probably use way less electricity, but if your PC is running anyway than you actually save money by not using any extra hardware

Seems like you got your answers already, but pcmasterrace community also exist

May I ask why water cooling? Its just more loud and more expensive afaik, they just look awesome.

Decent air coolers are cheap, silent and easier to install. When I was overclocking i5 9600k temperature was not an issue at all. Is it different with CPUs today?

Not sure is this a joke, but I dont see a reason to have more than 2.

Am I the only one who doesnt distrohopp?

Installed debian for homelab and bam it works. Installed PopOS on desktop and bam it works.

Many years ago I tried ubuntu and didnt like it, this time I was thinking Ill just switch distro until I find the right one, but it happened sooner than expected 😉
