Beelink EQR5 Mini PC

The Beelink EQR5 is a compact but very capable machine that serves as the heart of my homelab. It came with 16 GB of RAM, but I’ve upgraded it to 64 GB to give it more breathing room.

I chose this specific model for its AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor (6 cores, 12 threads), which handles my virtualization needs quite well. I have 16 GB of the RAM allocated to the iGPU, specifically so I can run ollama with some hardware acceleration in a Proxmox LXC container.

It’s currently running Proxmox, hosting several critical services like Coolify and Coder.
