That looks awesome! How much did you spend on building this rig?
mini-rack progressing nicely. now self hosting my full Bitcoin stack across 4 redundant nodes with management completely codified. nothing configured manually. this setup rocks 💪
Rack contains:
- 1x Truenas node with RAIDZ1 redundancy across 4 NVMEs for shared storage
- 4x Pi5 nodes running Nomad
services hosted
- nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm hub
- Knots (full node)
- ElectRS
- nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 (backed by Knots and ElectRS)
I can yank nodes out and services autoheal
I can yank drives out without disruption
I can patch without downtime

The Pi's I already had. Definitely not the cheapest compute, but love that they sip energy and can be powered PoE. The density Is great also.
The NAS was pricey but also overbuilt. All flash based. Tons of storage. Could he done cheaper though. I use it professionally as well so easier to justify
~$1000
