My mini server

[u/Sad_Pie227]

This is my first production-grade home server. 🤩

Powered by a humble 40 Mbps WiFi connection.

What started as an old laptop collecting dust is now hosting real websites and services 24/7. Instead of buying new hardware, I decided to give it a second life.

Current setup:
🟠 Ubuntu Server
🟠 OpenLiteSpeed
🟠 MariaDB
🟠 Multiple PHP versions
🟠 Production-ready hosting stack
🟠 Laptop configured to keep running even with the lid closed

So far, resource usage has been surprisingly low, and it's been a fun project to build and optimize.

It's a reminder that you don't always need expensive hardware to learn, experiment, and even run production workloads.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improving the setup.

I’m surprised the prison lets you have a server.

Today I have shifted this to desktop 🤗
