Build your home server without the guesswork
ServerMinded is one honest voice across the whole home-server stack - storage, compute, networking and automation. The build guides live here; each one links out to focused sites that compare the actual gear on the specs that matter.
NAS drives, CMR vs SMR, real-world failure rates.
Mini PCs and accelerators for Proxmox, Plex and Frigate.
OpenWrt/OPNsense routers, switches and NICs.
Smart-home devices that work fully local with Home Assistant.
Cameras and lenses compared - plus the storage and rig to handle the footage.
Monitors compared on panel, color and refresh - the display your camera and editing rig deserve.
Robot vacuums you can root with Valetudo and run fully local, no cloud.
New here? Start with a build guide - your first NAS, a Plex box, a homelab, or a Frigate camera box - each walks the whole build and routes you to the right site above.
