Ollama, PostgreSQL, TrueNAS, Ubuntu, Node.js
Utilizing virtualization, I used older hardware to host a network-wide NAS system to store all of my families photos and videos using a redundant storage array. In addition to that, I am using Ollama to host a local AI server for tinkering. I am also hosting this web server using Ubuntu on a seperate VM.
Pihole and automations
I installed a Pihole to host a dedicated DNS server for network-wide ad blocking. I have also setup motion sensor cameras that record video back to my NAS system. This system has been both cost effective and has taught me a lot about Linux.
Linux, Ollama, AI, LLM
Imported large language models (Qwen 2.5 14B on an NVIDIA 1070ti) to Ollama to host a local AI server that is integrated to VS Code. This AI integration is hosted on a seperate server and does not take up additional resources on my main system.
Linux, Backups, iOS, RAID configuration, TrueNAS
Configured a backup server through Immich using TrueNAS. This server allows me to backup images from any device on my network. The files are stored securely on an encrypted drive utilizing a RAID 1 configuration for redundancy.
