The home server, which is actually an old desktop that was repurposed. It is an i3. The motherboard is very old. It's overall about an 8-9 year old computer with a very basic Nvidia GPU. and it's been fine for the workload so far because it was certainly gotten lots and lots of value out of the hardware. There's certain things that it can't do however. One of those things is the first real blocker I ran into was NVIDIA. Sorry, it was Frigate. Trying to run that just wasn't able to handle the... I couldn't do the GPU offload, I guess, because the GPU was too old. <br><br>And I kind of boomeranged in self in that I done a lot of it over the years. With AI, the advent of AI development however have actually warmed up to self again because deploying things at home and maintaining software has become a lot easier when you can debug common problems and handle installations with an AI assistant. One of the software products that I've deployed recently is called Resource Space. It's a digital asset manager, a DAM. And this is something actually that I've wanted for many, many years because I've been involved in content creation and photography and videography and I've always really wanted to build up my own stock library of assets. <br><br>Cloud hosted DAMs are just too expensive for hobbyists like me, if you want to call it like that, even though some of it's related to my job. They're typical enterprise products, so it's actually a perfect use case for self-hosting because having the media resources on the local environment makes sense from an editing standpoint, where I'm editing at home. And it provides something that I couldn't afford and makes it available for free. <br><br>With Resource Space, the constraint seems to be in I think all the workloads that go on. When you upload stuff, it then runs some metadata processing. It tries to run some facial recognition stuff. And it feels at this point that rather than one and without them it just really can't process uploads. So I kind of feel that I thought about maybe putting in a new CPU and increasingly I kind of think that well maybe actually that's not going to do anything for all the other constraints and maybe as I've decided to actually go into self-hosting and I see it as a long-term thing I want to keep doing for my business, maybe this would actually be a good time to just say I've gotten enough use out of this computer, maybe I want to keep the hard drives or the SSDs. <br><br>I mean maybe even not that, maybe it just a good time to say this is time for an upgrade. So what I'm looking for is what I keep what I always feel about whenever I open up a desktop I feel like there's just a lot of space that's not utilized in terms of physically, there's just open space in the case. I don't know where that is. And I'm wondering, I feel like for my current workloads, so it's Proxmox with ZFS and then there's Ubuntu on top of that. So I don't think a mini PC is going to be powerful enough to do all these workloads. <br><br>I do want to have an NVIDIA GPU, ideally. And many more. Hi, by 30cm long tower desktop. The way computers are bought in Israel, where I live, is actually mostly it's a spec-based ordering process by which you go into a computer store, you describe what you want, what you need. They will, you'll agree upon a spec, they'll give you a price. And then they'll actually assemble the computer for you. So it's not, I mean, you can buy off-the-shelf servers and whatnot, Amazon, and more. <br><br>And besides the other stuff that I mentioned our restreamer for the camera I would like to run Frigate. I would like to run Resource Space. And it would be nice to be able to run local AI inference, but I think I know that really pushes the budget up a significant amount. So with all that spec in mind, give me a few suggested specifications. And then importantly for each of those form factor in terms of what is the most compact form factor that I could maybe condense all of that into. <br><br>And finally, one option for buying outside of Israel is that you might visit the US in a few months. And if it's something that can be small enough that could fit into a suitcase it could actually bring it back but I'd rather not go down that route but just as a possibility.
