Mini pc arriving tomorrow (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Greetings, so I final got wife permission to buy a pi zero 2 and a beeline 12s pro (n100) arriving tomorrow. I already have a nas drive for my media.

Question is what is the average setup and guides for this?

Of course I will be scouring this and other communities for info but the immediate items I want to fix are my plex/jellyfin server, setup RetroArch or equivalent gaming, then of course arr servers. But I would like to also get into reverse proxy and searxng, next cloud and pihole.

Any tips on how to make this beautiful?

OS recommendations? I currently run manjaro on my daily, but would think a kubuntu or kde fedora/debian spin might be better for these items.

Guides you can point me to? Suggestions for more or better options? There are plenty of answers in this community and I will look at what’s posted but any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I’m excited to start plying with the simple things

It sounds like your goal is a headless server for running various services on? If that's the case, I'd stick with a well supported, mainstem LTS distro. Rocky Linux (RHEL9) or Ubuntu Server is where I'd start.

Typical software stack for me is Cockpit (bare metal management), Nginx Proxy Manager, and Portainer CE.

If your system has a decent amount of memory, >32GB, ZFS in a raidz2 configuration for storage. Keep in mind that if you go the ZFS route that it's memory hungry by design.

For backup software, I ended up going with Restic but there are plenty of good solutions out there. Just make sure that you have one.

Hopefully this gives you an idea where to start looking. Ultimately it comes down to a lot of research, realizing there are a lot of valid ways to go about this, and then choosing the one that makes the most sense to you.

I’m still reading guides but my initial thoughts on OS was Debian, but am reading one using proxmox. Anything I should be aware of with proxmox?

I will read up on cockpit, nginx and the rest. Thank you for the suggestions!
