A first home lab splits local AI, Docker, and Pi-hole across devices
This first separates the setup into a server, a small PC for Docker, and a planned for Pi-hole. The machine uses a 16GB 5060 Ti .
Docker runs on an i5 EliteDesk G5 800 with 24GB of memory. A 3 is planned for Pi-hole.
The physical frame is built from 20x20 extruded aluminum with 1/4 no-point Allen screws. A Tinkercad link for the build design is planned, and the main area needing advice is the AI part of the lab.
Key points
- The server uses a 16GB 5060 Ti .
- Docker runs on an i5 EliteDesk G5 800 with 24GB of memory.
- A 3 is planned for Pi-hole.
- The rack or frame uses 20x20 extruded aluminum.
- owners can use this as a reminder to split heavy AI work onto another device when needed.
