What started as a few local workflows, soon blossomed into a workflows for emails, scheduled jobs, Home Assistant alerts etc. It’s a great machine, and it handled my daily tasks alongside a growing list of background services-<a href="https://www.mongodb.com/">MongoDB</a>, <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/">Postgres</a>, <a href="https://redis.io/">Redis</a>, and <a href="https://n8n.io/">n8n</a>-without breaking a sweat. It even ran my local AI models via <a href="https://ollama.com/">Ollama</a>.</p> <p>But then came the &ldquo;lab creep.&rdquo; I started adding more: a <a href="https://magicmirror.builders/">MagicMirror</a> instance for the family calendar, <a href="https://excalidraw.com/">Excalidraw</a> for diagrams, and various utility containers.</p>
