That looks like it is for access switches.

Also pifags should neck themselves.

hey guys what should I do with my r pi 3 b

Throw that shit out and buy a real server

Alternatively buy 20 more pi’s and build a docker cluster or distributed compute environment

why not buy a cheap camera and make it so you can record people at your door or you can ip into your camera whenever

Well I'm thinking of making my own rack later down the road when my current server shits itself (which hopefully won't happen for a long time) But I'm thinking of just getting a bunch of scrap wood and making it from that. Be hell of a lot cheaper than metal/steal.

...

I know there's some Ikea table that home server people like

It’s the “Lack Rack”

HP Micro G4 i think

Running OMV

Its a good cheap 4 bay nas

kek, noice

seriously considering pic related, since I will never have nor need a full rack of equipment, and I can see myself moving more than once in the next 5-10 years.

i have a raspberry pi I'm basically a sysadmin lol XD

Move your main machine into a server chassis.
Then get another machine to run a media server with plex / NAS system for backing up files and such.

Then use a 1u rack and make a pfsense router.

>Boom you got a nice addition to a portfolio saying "hey I built this home server because I am a fucking idiot"

Rack mounted systems are for patricians only. Step ya game up son.

Start here: starcase.com/Steel_and_aluminum_rack_rail_s/388.htm

Get Q-series square hole rails, sized 6U-12U is plenty for under $20-$60.

Your top 1st U can be a patch panel with modular keystones or 1U switch (dumb, smart/full mangaged) $50-$150+
2nd to 3rd U can be filled with your cable modem or fiberop modem or router (use a Unifi Security Gateway $90 + $15 Mikrotik Maxxwave 450g rackmount adapter to make it real comfy)

Fill the rest with whatever server you like. Pi-Hole + ZFS NAS. Or build your own router/IDS with pfSense or Sophos UTM.

I got a Bticino rack for free, a school was throwing it away because it was too big for the 10/100 switch and Cat 5e patch panel that were inside
Atm I have a TP-Link Gbe switch, a cable organizer, that patch panel, my RasPi, random audio stuff, an Xbox 360 and two PS2 (that I'm gonna use as Linux servers) inside. I'm going to buy a good server when my connection will be acceptable

hello
i'd like a backup solution for myself and since i don't want a dummy all-in-one solution i wondered whats a good and cost-effective way of building a small homeserver to be used primarily as a backup storage.
I'd like to install some linux on it and don't necessarily want some preconfigured thingy so i can also use it for other purposes at some point.

should i get some preconfigured NAS box and wipe my own installation on it? actually build a small server from scratch? should i get a raid? the little box should be silent and energy efficient.

l'm running obsd without x11 components. Samba won't install on my system because apparently dbus and avahi dependencies won't install without x11... Is this correct? or am I mistaken? Is there a solution to install samba on my system without x11?

install gentoo

>Is there a solution to install samba on my system without x11?
compile it from source with avahi, dbus and x11 components disabled.

Samba or NFS? Windows support isn't necessary.
