Custom Home Server & Local AI Setup | Private Data & AI (Ollama, Qwen) - $500 (Berkeley)
QR Code Link to This Post
I can work with your budget, whether we're repurposing hardware you already own or building a dedicated multi-GPU powerhouse from scratch.
What I can set up for you:
- Private Cloud & Storage: Secure local storage (NAS) for your photos, files, and backups. No more iCloud or Google Drive fees.
- Local AI (LLMs): Run models like Qwen, Llama, or Mistral completely offline using Ollama and Llama.cpp. I'll get it running with a clean web interface so it feels just like ChatGPT, but totally private and free.
- Network-Wide Ad-Blocking: Filter out ads and trackers at the router level for every device in your house (Pi-hole/AdGuard).
- Media Servers: Your own private Netflix/Spotify setup using Plex or Jellyfin.
How it works:
Just shoot me a message with what you’re trying to achieve and your rough budget. We’ll figure out the right hardware, I’ll handle the entire installation, configuration, and network optimization, and then hand over the keys with a quick walkthrough so you know how to use it.
Reach out if you’re ready to take back your data privacy!
