Documenting how I turned my old 2013 Acer Aspire E1-571G into a homeserver and a general guide on how to turn your old laptop/computer into a simple, lightweight retro homeserver - WilliamAktaa0/20...

I setup pihole and jellyfin on it and currently I’m working on a creative webrevival personal website to host on it.

Tips, feedback, and suggestions are highly appreciated.

    as long as you arent pushing it too had a wire rack or one of the laptop cooling plates work well but i am not sure what would be best if you are pushing harder than that

    and i pretty much constantly kept it plugged in when it was online so battery capacity was not a major concern for my use case.

      it would be public facing so the loads seem to come at random when bot nets try to brute force their way in from time to time – i have no control over it.
