This is for me, large city dweller with no basement or a place to tuck away a noisy server with fans. In fact, I already have something like this, with older specs, produced by no name Shenzhen company, tucked away under the couch and hosting a bunch of services.
- binary_ninja 3y agoCan you please confirm that "under the couch" is a literal statement. If so, could you please provide further details? I am extremely curious.
- mynegation 3y ago“Under the couch” is a literal statement. This is a modern, not traditional couch, so its legs are raised maybe 10 inches? Gives some room for access and passive cooling.
- binary_ninja 3y agoDoesn't it get loads of dust?
- mynegation 3y agoGetting it dusted and vacuumed was the part of the deal I have with my wife regarding the existence of this server :-)
- helb 3y agoI live in a tiny village with a shit ton of space for anything, but would prefer this over a power hungry server anyway… At least until i fill part of the barn roof with solar panels.
- bomewish 3y agoWhat kinda services? Lots of hn comments say something like the above and I’m just deciding to ask this time.
- mynegation 3y agoFor me specifically: wireguard, strongswan (ikev2 vpn in iPhone), freshrss, paperless ngx, webdav server for iOS apps like genius scan and photosync, filebrowser for web access, archivebox, wallabag, airsonic, gitea.
- bretto13 3y agoNot the person you are replying to, but I host my local dev environments, HomeAssistant for various home automation tasks, Unifi controller, Paperless-ngx, Jellyfin media server, NAS and cloud backup of PCs, adguard, and occasionally some game servers for friends. There's a tremendous amount of self hosted software available for about any purpose you can think of though.
