My jorney starts here

​

Hi everyone, I’m a complete beginner. These are the machines I have—they were given to me for free by a friend (thanks Allan) after his workplace upgraded. Two of them are missing RAM and CPU.

I’d like to:

store photos (I tried Immich but couldn’t get it to recognize my pictures),

run Home Assistant,

and self-host Obico for 3D printing.

I have no experience at all—no coding or IT background. I’m learning by watching YouTube tutorials.

I’m considering ZimaOS because it looks simple and has a phone app, which is a plus for me. But I’m not sure if I should cluster the machines or keep them separate, and I don’t know how to set that up yet.

Also, I want to use multiple HDDs together externally, but I don’t know what that setup/device is called.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

i do have 3dprinters and im already printing the 10" labrax for it. such a cute rax

I have a question. When you use setups like this, do you combine all three computers into a single system/OS, or do you use them separately? Like, one computer for storage, another for Home Assistant, and a third for something else—each one doing its own thing?

not my setup
