Nice setup! Is that a Minisforum below the optiplex?
Haha I read your comment the wrong way around the first time thinking you got a Minisforum MS-01 for like €460. That would have been a great deal 😄
Because searching for what a new MS-01 with i5 and 32gb RAM and 1TB SSD cost is more towards €700. Haven’t found a lot of offerings for a used one in my region and buying new currently I think I would have to pay too much.
Yeah I agree, then it would have been an instant buy for me.
Nice, great deal you got there! Would love to stumble upon a similar offering, would instantly build a Kubernetes cluster with them. Probably only to find out that it is too much of a hassle to run my homelab stuff in Kubernetes instead of Podman 😂
Ah nice, another vintage story aficionado 👌 Have my server running on my mini pc in a LXC since a couple of weeks, sadly haven’t found a lot of time exploring v1.21 since becoming a dad last year 😄
But yeah was looking for a bit beefier server hardware to maybe run some more game servers like Valheim or Satisfactory besides my other selfhosting services.
Yeah looking at prices in stores in my region for ddr4 its still like a 60%+ price increase since like the beginning of November last year. Actually wanted to build my own server, but with the price increase on most of the core pc components, I guess just bad timing #fuckai
Just try the simple image, see https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf?tab=readme-ov-file#-simple-mode-for-internal-use :)
Nice, good on you! Migrating your services/containers to a dedicated server instead of running them on a overwhelmingly underpowered Synology NAS is going to be a game changer.
I also have a Synology NAS, but nowadays only really use it for NFS/Samba storage and a S3 service (Garage) running on it to provide network storage to all my other services running on my mini pc.
