/hsg/ Home Server General

Why not just run cent OS directly on the machine.

>>55127830
Because I'm probably going to be booting up different VMs for different things. I'm learning linux sysadmin stuff as much as I can outside of class.

just bought the parts to build an 8 core rig w/ 32gb ram

if any of you live near a microcenter, right now they have an insane combo deal on the 8320e + any AM3+ mobo

>>55127806
Just use the OVA.

>>55127945
Explain? I can't find anything related searching OVA.

3/10, shit is ancient and you have no UPS.

>>55128055
it works well enough
I can't afford a UPS that'll be of any use, but it's high on the shopping list

>>55128105
HP R1500G2s are cheap AF and should be enough to power your garbage. I'm going to try using an APC NMC in mine to see if I can get some web management working with PowerChute.

>~$200 with batteries
thanks, I'll look for one once I have the cash

>>55128163
Keep an eye on eBay. I got one NIB for 120 bucks.

>I'm about to configure OpenVPN on my CentOS 7 VM running on Proxmox that's running on a TS140. This way I can remotely work on my servers because I stay with my gf a lot. After I'm gonna install Plex and see what's up. Wish me luck.

what meds are you-...oh

just use openvpnas, it's literally rpm -i openvpnas.rpm and you're done

ps adrafinil is a bit worse on the liver, stick to modafinil or armodafinil

>What's up fellas? I'm a drug addict.

FTFY

>>55128202
I don't take it but like once or twice a month. I live in the land of freedom and it isn't OTC here so I have to get adra.

Also what the hell is this openvpnas meme? I'll look into it.

>>55128202
This looks great. Thanks for the help.

>>55128249
Dude...moda is so easy to get in the states, There are so many online sellers that are legit

Nice fridge.

>>55128483
Those aren't no-sleep pills...

But OP, those are bad on your liver, just take a 30mg vyvanse next time. Just don't abuse, use for critical tasks only.

>>55128587
>tfw didn't get the white node 304 before the retarded swedecucks discontinued it
feels bad, man.

>>55128238
Are you a Vulcan?

>>55128795
Got it about £20 cheaper than the black version, only really bought it for that as it sits in the cupboard. Catered perfectly for my needs too

>>55128782
I take vyvanse for exams. I don't really like the high feeling you get. It kinda distracts me from the task at hand. I guess I'll try to get some modafinil.

>local computer recycler
what is this?

>>55129187
There's a few companies near me that recycle consumer and commercial equipment, they resell what still works at vastly discounted prices.
One of them sells stuff mostly as is without any sort of warranty or testing, the other has a decently put together retail operation.

>>55129312
well I'm officially jelly
if there was a place like that near me I'd be there every week

>>55128202
>openvpnas
Thank you for telling me about this.

>>55129033
Hardware guide for what?

>>55128011
>cables at front
Whyy??

>>55129789
because I don't have enough hardware to justify moving it around
maybe if I had a few more rackservers

>>55129447
I have to be careful to not run my accounts dry when visiting there
they've got a giant stack of optiplexes for $25 each
if I had the cash I'd be walking out of there with all of them

>>55128587
We have the same case. Mah nigga
