Hello! Nice to see all of you over here! I use my home servers for all sorts of things. I have a three node Proxmox cluster running a number of LXC containers and VMs used for things such as Seafile, backup servers, websites, Plex, DNS, DHCP, router, project work, and git hosting.
Damn that setup is nice to look at. One of these days I’ll set up all my gear nice and neat instead of just throwing everything in a closet with cables everywhere
It’s been this week’s project… Quite pleased so far. The yellow mess are two 4 Gbps LAGGs for the optiplexes to iPXE/iSCSI boot from when I get round to it.
@Miguel Not too bad if you squint, turn your head to the side and look at the bill through the lide of an ice cream tub. On first glance though some may consider it a little high
The Odroid’s rock as little powerhouses, but check out the NanoPi as well. The Neo is a great alternative to a Zero and has onboard Ethernet, run Armbian on it. I have half a dozen that are great for DNS servers.
But the home server I run is just a little build box for CI/CD and Plex.
Use: Samba file server. I know I should get an Orange Pi or something, however this is not powered on at all times so the power usage is not an issue. I just WOL it when needed, which is once or twice a week tops.
Yeah I am! The thing I use it most for it the ability to get my home phone to ring on my mobile (Android SIP client) and getting voicemails sent straight (with attachment) to my email
In terms of the PSTN / freepbx interface I am using a linksys spa2102, I do need to think about replacing this as it’s get unreliable now
Hmm, I’ve been meaning to get a some IP telephony up and running for when I move house - any tips/pointers? Maybe this is best saved for another thread :')
I usually have some consumer grade hardware laying around, so I made cheap & dirty mining ring:
Intel DQ25JOE
C2D E6550
MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB
Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP! 6GB
Be Quiet Pure Power L8 530W
… I also added 2nd graphic card to my main PC, so it can mine too. It’s working pretty much 24/7 as it’s doing as remote desktop server too. Now it consists of:
i5 7600k @4.4GHz
Cryorig R1 Universal
HyperX Savage 2x8GB 2800MHz
MSI RX 470 Gaming X 8GB - BIOS modded
Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP! 6GB
MSI Mortar Z270M
SielntiumPC Vero M1 600W
…as for the services I generally use servers outside my home I have quite few of them
