🗄️ My own Google service at home

Abstract

I recently found a Google-branded server, and decided to repurpose it.

What is it?

Doing some cleanup in a datacenter, one of the servers that was supposed to be thrown away stood out to me. A bright yellow server with Google branding on this. My curiosity got the better of me and I took it home to find out what it was.

🖥️ A custom server rack screen

Abstract

I created a monitoring screen to place in my server rack. The screen is used to display different server statistics such as cpu, ram, disk, etc. usage for my servers (Proxmox, Unraid,..). To accomplish this, I got a Raspberry Pi with a screen. My server statistics are gathered via different Home Assistant integrations. Alternatively, you could use something like Grafana.
