Hi, what kind of beelink do you have and AI do you run there? I have a similar setup and I'm very interested, I didn't think it was possible to run it on that low end.

    Not who you asked but I got the Me2 cube from Beelink. It runs Truenas and has been reliable so far. The giant downside is nvme drive cost, like 3-4x from when I bought it.

    If you are just storing data, find the really old Proliant cube servers on EBay, like an N40L. There's only one fan, if it works you can get 4 hard drives for cheaper than nvme, nstall truenas or xigmanas, and you have a slow but useful and reliable file server, with ECC memory and all kinds of useful things. 60w and quiet.

    I’m currently running a U59 and storage is not a problem, although I have mechanical drives. I don't know if it is the best or optimal solution, but I am using mergerfs and I have a HDD bay to split the data into different drives.

    I bought the Beelink SER9 MAX, mainly because it’s the only one I saw with 64GB Ram.

    It came with windows, but binned that for debian running Ollama and openclaw pretty well. I looked at others but according to Claude, the A1 Pro that i looked at only really supports Windows and I emailed minisforum who confirmed it so kinda went off there PC’s.

    I’m not aiming for speed though, i’m aiming for learning but the only issue i’ve run into a few times is:

    ⚠️ Something went wrong while processing your request. Please try again, or use /new to start a fresh session.

    But running /compact seems to fix it. I’d love a few more beelink’s to run a cluster though.

    Edit: Also I’m also messing with openclaw and openclaw can’t seem to spawn agents to do tasks. Not sure if thats hardware related or config issue. 🤷‍♂️
