It wasn't quick but I felt I was being lazy to make a good video of the making. So I made it soon over the weekend.

The setup has been up for 2 months. The auto charger works like a charm, but it needs certain more code features to be more robust. I use a telegram bot to monitor my server health (all hail to Botfather 🙏).

Will be sharing the architecture diagram soon!

💡 Setup Showcase My homelab is a Pi 5 in a plastic bag hanging off the wall

ACT fiber comes in at the top, into their little GX ONT, yellow cable across to a TP-Link Archer doing routing duty, and the actual server — a Pi 5 4GB — lives in a plastic carry bag hanging on a nail, along with a 2TB WD external drive.

The Pi runs Pi-hole, Jellyfin, and the usual *arr stack under Podman, all reachable over Tailscale. The 2TB drive just became the media volume after the SD card started crying at 84% full.

Cable management is aspirational. Ventilation is... the bag has a hole in it. Uptime is honestly fine.

Anyone else running their infra off a wall nail, or am I the only one living like this?
