I previously wrote about how I mounted s3 object storage to my homelab running Ubuntu. I've since been configuring my homelab to run using NixOS. NixOS has a major advantage over Ubuntu for me, in that the entire system is configured declaratively, meaning once you have a working configuration you can use it to rebuild everything exactly how it was setup before.

I'm currently in the process of setting up a homelab, one of the major tasks I want to manage is storage and streaming of music.

For streaming music and managing metadata I'm using Roon Server, this may change in the future as I explore other options. I store my music on a 2012 Mac Mini (the only computer I had lying around) which is running Ubuntu 20.04 as a VM in Proxmox. My Mac Mini has 2 x 250GB SSD storage, which has been quickly filling up as my music collection grows.
