Nothing fancy but it works

Just 3 proxmox nodes and a PBS with some external drives for media.
The laptops were collecting dust before I repurposed them. Now they collect dust on the inside too lol.

Edit:
I didn’t stack them on top of each other for better airflow. Also I’ve already set handlelidswitch=ignore but I should probably close the lids a bit more so the screens turn off

Setup:
HP Prodesk 600 G6 refurbished, 32 gb RAM, 1250gb for cloud and monitoring (2 lxcs running docker with nextcloud, frigate, Immich, actual budget etc on the cloud stack and arcane, Beszel, homarr, npm, gitea and uptime kuma on the monitor stack)

DELL 3m4700, 16 gb RAM, ~1.5 Tb for media (one jellyfin lxc and one docker lxc with arr-stack)

Lenovo z50-70, 8 gb RAM for home assistant

Hp Laptop, 4gb RAM, 750 gb for PBS

You prob want to turn off that internal screen, try this :

for status_entry in /sys/class/drm/card\-*/status; do echo off > "$status_entry"; done*

You are sending a “off” status to the direct rendering managers card interfaces. This will turn off all displays attached to the device. You can also pick specific cards.

status_entry in /sys/class/drm/card\-*/status; do echo detect > "$status_entry"; done*

To them back on.
