EQI12

honestly those are all pretty light workloads, you dont need much. a beelink ser5 or eq12 would be plenty - they go for like $150-250 on amazon and have decent cpus. or if you want even cheaper, grab a used lenovo thinkcentre tiny or dell optiplex micro off ebay for like $80-100. either way 16gb ram

A BeeLink U59 Pro has worked well for Home Assistant and Frigate in my setup - you can use an mini PCIe Coral TPU in the slot under the NVME. I use a BeeLink EQ12 for Opnsense without issue. Both are powered from a single GaN USB C quite happily. Emby & other apps live on my NAS as I wanted discreet

BeeLink EQ12 here and it's perfect for OPNsense. At least until I desire >1Gbps from the ISP. I can always go 2.5+ for my LAN anyway

For what you get now with the RAMpocalypse the Atom Celeron N150 mini PCs from a reputable brand aren't making much sense. As an example after a few weeks of use a friend of mine returned there MINI S13 for a Beelink EQi12 Core i3-1220P. The EQi12 brought dual channel memory, dual NIC and dual 2280

beelink s12 / eq12 is the sweet spot for that stack. n100 transcodes 1080p without breaking a sweat and handles 4k hevc-to-h264 via qsv. go 16gb ram minimum — immich's ml container alone wants 4gb when it's generating clip embeddings, and nextcloud preview generation can spike pretty hard if you've

Crazy for sure, one example of mine is the Beelink EQi12 I bought 11/11/2024 for AUD $471 with 24GB LDDR5 Ram is now AUD $651 with 16Gb DDR4 Ram. CPU is Intel Core i3-1220P. One of the M.2 PCIE SSD I added to it for AUD $189 now costs AUD $499! It doesn't matter about the currency, look at the perce

i ran into this exact choice last year. for most homelab stuff nfs is totally fine - just keep it simple. the single point of failure risk matters less than you think unless you're running critical production. glusterfs or ceph add complexity. if you want to keep power low, those n100 mini pcs work

I started with USB coral on Beelink EQ12 (N100) then with an HP Elite Desk 800 G3? (i5-8500), then a dual coral on pcie, and a month or two ago an Intel Ultra 5-125h ($500 mini pc PELADN Mini PC,Core Ultra 5 125H Mini Desktop Computer, 32GB Dual DDR5/512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD). I have 9 cameras. I was

I have the EQ12 and a similar spec HP Elite Desk 800 SFF pc in a Proxmox cluster. I run Frigate (with 9 cameras) on the HP. I run most of my other services on the Beelink. If I could only keep one, I'd keep the HP... having expansion options is handy.

for under 00 the Beelink EQ12 or similar n100 mini PCs are hard to beat right now. you get a quad core, 16GB RAM, 500GB NVMe, and they idle around 8W. throw Proxmox on it and you can run a handful of LXC containers for your common services. if you want more storage options, an older Optiplex SFF wit
