/hsg/ Home Server General

Come on user don't leave us hanging

Tell us what you use it for?

First I just played around to get the kick out of distributing workloads.
Then I replaced my webserver with it cause of electricity. Saves around 15€ a month here.

Anyone run postfix+dovecot on raspbian or armbian?

What are some useful ways to implement IPFS into my home network? I already have a machine that’s a server for: FTP, SSH, music, plex, and torrenting.

Use Airsonic. It’s great.

Whats the cheapest step up from gigabit ethernet not counting link aggregation?

Right now it would be worse solutions for everyone of those.
But it has peer discovery built in so you don't need no DNS or none of that. A new device coming in to the network would automatically detect the host of a file.

point-to-point 10G SFP+

Does this work well on Linux and *BSD? How does this compare to Infiniband?

It's a pretty janky ghetto solution no matter your OS, so it's right up there with hacking something Inifniband based together.

Switches with SFP+ cages are pretty affordable now and fiber based 10G also feels more energy efficient.
Cheapest switches start around $140, so it's not that much on top of getting a bunch of cards and cables.
