https://blog.krafting.net/my-first-server-rack/
For a few weeks now, it’s been looking like this! (At the bottom there is a complete picture)
Plus a Orange Pi 3 as a DNS/Reverse Proxy server
Your link is not on https and asking me to download a .bin file. Extremely susEdit: link looks good now
What?
The same thing happened to me when I first tried to go there, but it’s fine now.
Also prompting me to download a .bin
OKey, so that’s a bit concerning… I’d love to get my hand on this “bin” file, I cannot reproduce the issue on my side… Also the site should be HTTPS only. I had a bug with caching recently that showed the ActivityPub data instead of the blog post, could it be that ? Are you on mobile, and the browser cannot show JSON data properly so it tries to download it with a weird name ?

I am on Android mobile. Firefox only prompts to download downloadfile.bin. Duckduckgo browser actually opens the file contents. I’ll post it here, since I’m getting it from public I’m hoping that’s okay. This is the content…

I can erase the direct post link and then the site loads, but then if I click the post title it loads the text again…
Okey so the “bin” is actually the activitypub data… I don’t know why this is still happening… there might be something wrong somewhere, but where…

I’m not really a networking expert so I can’t make too good of a guess as to what happened. I’m on the latest Firefox mobile release on Android and was accessing from a Colorado IP. When I originally tried the site, nothing was rendered. It was a blank page or just a redirect for download. I didn’t download the .bin. I clicked your link twice before sending my message.
Well, thanks for the follow-up anyway, I did some tweaks, and I hope it won’t happen again… I’ll see.

EDIT:
Server:
- AMD 5900x
- 64GB RAM
- 2x10TB HDD
- RTX 3080
- LSI-9208i HBA
- 2x SFP+ NIC
- 2TB NVMe boot drive
Proxmox hypervisor:
- TrueNAS VM (HBA PCIe passthrough)
- HomeAssistant VM
- Debian 12 LXC as SSH entrypoint and Ansible controller
- Debian 12 VM with Ansible controlled docker containers
- Debian 12 VM (GPU PCIe passthrough) with Jellyfin and other services that use GPU
- Debian 12 VM for other docker stuff not yet controlled by Ansible and not needing GPU
Router: N6005 fanless mini PC, 2.5Gbit NICs, pfsense
Switch Mikrotik CRS 8-port 2.5Gbit, 2-port SFP+
You play games on that server don’t you. 😁
I have a Kasm setup with blender and CAD tools, I use the GPU for transcoding video in Immich and Jellyfin, and for facial recognition in Immich. I also have a CUDA dev environment on there as a playground.
I upgraded my gaming PC to an AMD 7900 XTX, so I can finally be rid of Nvidia and their gaming and wayland driver issues on Linux.
Does Immich require a GPU or can it do facial recognition on CPU alone?
It can work on CPU alone, but allows for GPU hardware acceleration.
Nice. I gotta try it.
I have a Lenovo TS140 in the laundry room, i3-4330, 16GB, 2TB of SSD running arch.
In docker I am running:
Plex, Wire guard, Qbittorrent, Pihole, my discord bot, nginx, and Teslamate.
Works great, I’m probably going to swap my gaming rig in (5800x + 3080 12GB) with more RAM to host some AI stuff and the same services.
Main site:
- 5950X on a GA-AB350-Gaming 3
- 64GB
- 1TB NVMe mirrored
- 24TB RAIDz1, using external USB 3 disks
- Ubuntu LTS
- 700Mbps uplink
- OpenWrt on Pi 4 router
- Home Assistant Yellow
Off site:
- ThinkCentre 715q
- 2400GE
- 8GB
- 256GB NVMe
- 24TB RAIDz1, using external USB 3 disks
- Ubuntu LTS
- 30Mbps uplink
- OpenWrt on Pi 4 router
Syncthing replicates data between the two. ZFS auto snapshots prevent accidental or malicious data loss at each site. Various services are running on both machines. Plex, Wiki.js, OpenProject, etc. Most are run in docker, managed via systemd. The main machine is also used as a workstation as well as games. The storage arrays are ghetto special - USB 3 external disks, some WD Elements, some Seagate in enclosures. I even used to have a 1T, a 3T and a 4T disk in an LVM volume pretending to be an 8T disk in one of the ZFS pools. The next time I have to expand the storage I’ll use second hand disks. The 5950X isn’t boosting as high as it should be able to on a chipset with PB2, but I got all those cores on a B350 board. 😆 Config management is done with SaltStack.
I have a similar setup. I just recently switched to the ASRock Phantom X570 for $100. It’s a fantastic board at that price.
Did it improve the 5900X’es boost?
I’ll have to double check, but I came from a B450 board. It definitely allowed me to run my RAM at a higher XMP profile (4x 3200MHz), and it has way better IOMMU groups. Each PCIe device gets its own group, so they can all be passed to different VMs.
Internet:
- 1G fiber
Router:
- N100 with dual 2.5G nics
Lab:
- 3x N100 mini PCs as k8s control plane+ceph mon/mds/mgr
- 4x Aoostar R7 “NAS” systems (5700u/32G ram/20T rust/2T sata SSD/4T nvme) as ceph OSDs/k8s workers
Network:
- Hodge podge of switches I shouldn’t trust nearly as much as I do
- 3x 8 port 2.5G switches (1 with poe for APs)
- 1x 24 port 1G switch
- 2x omada APs
Software:
- All the standard stuff for media archival purposes
- Ceph for storage (using some manual tiering in cephfs)
- K8s for container orchestration (deployed via k0sctl)
- A handful of cloud-hypervisor VMs
- Most of the lab managed by some tooling I’ve written in go
- Alpine Linux for everything
All under 120w power usage
How are you finding the AooStar R7? I have had my eye on it for a while but not much talk about it outside of YouTube reviews
They’ve been rock solid so far. Even through the initial sync from my old file server (pretty intensive network and disk usage for about 5 days straight). I’ve only been running them for about 3 months so far though, so time will tell. They are like most mini pc manufacturers with funny names though. I doubt I’ll ever get any sort of bios/uefi update
1) DIY PC (running everything)
- MSI Z270-A PRO
- Intel G3930
- 16GB DDR4
- ATX PSU 550W
- 250GB SSD for OS
- 500GB SSD for data
- 12TB HDD for backup + media
2) Raspberry pi 4 4GB (running 2nd pihole instance)
Only 2 piHOLES?
Not sure is this a joke, but I dont see a reason to have more than 2.
Sorry forgot the /s
Bad. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 hanging from a HDMI cable going up to a projector, then have a 2TB SSD hanging from the Raspberry Pi. I host Nextcloud and Transmission on my RPi. Use Kodi for viewing media through my projector.
Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:
- Portainer
- Calibre
- qBittorrent
- Kodi
HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).
Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.
Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.
I’m running my email server on a POCO F1 ex-Android phone (running PostmarketOS now).
I wish I could get NixOS running on it, then I’d move other things also there.
PA-220 fw for internet access. An old workhorse, Synology DS1812+, for filesharing. A mac mini with Ubuntu running Plex and Roon also hosting Dashy in docker. A Hwg-ste to measure temp in my cabinet. I host a RIPE probe. An RPI4 running Zabbix. My next project is moving from PA-220 to something in the 400 series (probably 415) so I can upgrade to newer PANOS.
- An HP ML350p w/ 2x HT 8 core xeons (forget the model number) and 256GB DDR3 running Ubuntu and K3s as the primary application host
- A pair of Raspberry Pi’s (one 3, one 4) as anycast DNS resolvers
- A random minipc I got for free from work running VyOS as by border router
- A Brocade ICX 6610-48p as core switch
Hardware is total overkill. Software wise everything is running in containers, deployed into kubernetes using helmfile, Jenkins and gitea
At home - Networking
- 10Gbps internet via Sonic, a local ISP in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s only $40/month.
- TP-Link Omada ER8411 10Gbps router
- MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM 12-port 10Gbps switch
- 2 x TP-Link Omada EAP670 access points with 2.5Gbps PoE injectors
- TP-Link TL-SG1218MPE 16-port 1Gbps PoE switch for security cameras (3 x Dahua outdoor cams and 2 x Amcrest indoor cams). All cameras are on a separate VLAN that has no internet access.
- SLZB-06 PoE Zigbee coordinator for home automation - all my light switches are Inovelli Blue Zigbee smart switches, plus I have a bunch of smart plugs. Aqara temperature sensors, buttons, door/window sensors, etc.
Home server:
- Intel Core i5-13500
- Asus PRO WS W680M-ACE SE mATX motherboard
- 64GB server DDR5 ECC RAM
- 2 x 2TB Solidigm P44 Pro NVMe SSDs in ZFS mirror
- 2 x 20TB Seagate Exos X20 in ZFS mirror for data storage
- 14TB WD Purple Pro for security camera footage. Alerts SFTP’d to offsite server for secondary storage
- Running Unraid, a bunch of Docker containers, a Windows Server 2022 VM for Blue Iris, and an LXC container for a Bo gbackup server.
For things that need 100% reliability like emails, web hosting, DNS hosting, etc, I have a few VPSes “in the cloud”. The one for my emails is an AMD EPYC, 16GB RAM, 100GB NVMe space, 10Gbps connection for $60/year at GreenCloudVPS in San Jose, and I have similar ones at HostHatch (but with 40Gbps instead of 10Gbps) in Los Angeles.
I’ve got a bunch of other VPSes, mostly for https://dnstools.ws/ which is an open-source project I run. It lets you perform DNS lookup, pings, traceroutes, etc from nearly 30 locations around the world. Many of those are sponsored which means the company provides them for cheap/free in exchange for a backlink.
This Lemmy server is on another GreenCloudVPS system - their ninth birthday special which has 9GB RAM and 99GB NVMe disk space for $99 every three years ($33/year).
I hate you and want all of your equipment
i got the random Dell SFF optiplex with 16gb of upgraded ram and a i5-4690 sitting at the girlfriend’s house because she’s the only one with an ISP that still allows public ip’s.
It runs Minecraft.at home i have my old 9yo retired gaming desktop doing seedbox work and mostly just running BOINC to donate compute power to science… and also keep my feet warm lol
yeah. that’s it. i really don’t do shit even though i totally could.
