As I rely more on my home lab server, I’m starting to worry more about it getting stolen. If someone breaks into my home, I think the server will be a pretty attractive target.

Do y’all just stick it in a closet? That seems not great for cooling…

One of my neighbors recently got broken into.

    My servers are one NUC clone and a 4*16tb NAS. I have a lot of docker containers running constantly and yet cooling has never really been an issue for me. A larger concern is I would rather not see it, so It’s hidden it under furniture. The fans on the NAS have attracted a layer of dust, and one day I might clean it. Kidding. I wont.

    My security team involves a bull dog named Sophie, who has never done more than lick any other being, but I’m banking on burglars not knowing this.

      I have a similar security team, that will bark for attention from people outside/entering the house. Sounds very intimidating, in reality, a big fluff that wants to play.

      My nas is in the basement. Some day I might move it further into the basement, but there are so many steps between now and then.
