ThinkCentre M83 🖥️

Finally decided to share my current home server setup.

🖥️ Hardware

Lenovo ThinkCentre M83

• CPU: Intel Core i5-4570T — 2C/4T
• RAM: 16 GB DDR3
• Boot/OS: 256 GB SSD
• Data: 500 GB 2.5" HDD
• Backups: 500 GB 2.5" HDD
• Media: 500 GB 3.5" HDD

Storage: ~1.76 TB raw total
(2× 500 GB 2.5" HDD + 1× 500 GB 3.5" HDD + 256 GB SSD)

💿 OS & Storage

• Debian 13
• Docker
• OpenMediaVault 8
• SMB shares
• /media/Data
• /media/Backup
• /media/Media

🐳 Services

• Homepage
• OpenMediaVault 8
• SMB
• Immich
• Rsync backups for Immich
• SearXNG
• Vaultwarden
• Navidrome
• Jellyfin
• Arr stack
• AdGuard Home
• Unbound
• Tailscale
• Portainer
• Uptime Kuma
• Watchtower

The M83 isn't exactly a powerhouse, but for my needs it's been surprisingly capable. Most of my services run through Docker, and it's slowly turned into my own little self-hosted ecosystem.

🔜 Planned upgrades

• More storage 💾 — (one of the HDDs has started failing)
• UPS 🔋 — (definitely needed)
• Possibly a dedicated firewall 🔥

Still very much a work in progress, but I'm pretty happy with how far this little ThinkCentre has come.

What would you recommend I upgrade or change first?
