Overview
Centerpoint is the primary homelab server — a Mini PC form factor running a full self-hosted Docker stack. It acts as the central compute node for all containerised services, reverse proxying, media, AI inference, and automation in the homelab.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Hostname | centerpoint |
| Role | Primary Docker host |
| Form Factor | Mini PC (NUC-style) |
| IP Address | 192.168.1.85 |
| Tailscale IP | 100.117.158.101 |
| OS | Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (Noble Numbat) |
| Kernel | 6.17.0-35-generic |
CPU
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Model | Intel Core Ultra 9 285H |
| Core Architecture | P-cores only (no hyperthreading) |
| Physical Cores | 16 |
| Sockets | 1 |
| Threads | 16 (1 per core) |
The 285H is an Intel Meteor Lake H-series mobile processor with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The absence of E-cores or hyperthreading means all 16 logical CPUs are full performance cores, which benefits parallel container workloads.
Memory
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Total RAM | 96 GB |
At time of writing, approximately 33 GB is actively in use with ~9 GB free and ~49 GB used as page cache — normal for a long-running Linux system running a large Docker stack.
Notes
- Uptime is typically measured in weeks; the system runs continuously.
- The NPU in the 285H is not currently leveraged by any container workload — it is available for future OpenVINO or AI inference optimisation.
