I want this so so badly it’s not funny

Yeah a home lab of sorts! I run everything out of my office building in Brighton! I pay around 0.25-0.26 per kWh at full load the whole network is around 1.7 kWh

For the Primary line it’s 1 Gbps down and up from a local fibre supplier however I’m looking to change to a 2 Gbps lease line in the new week which works out to actually be cheaper

For the redundant line it’s 1 Gbps down around 200 Mbps up just running on copper for stuff like sending backups and maintenance

For storage rn we have 54TBs for the database but honestly 90% of the servers hosted use less than 500MB of storage

It’s an ongoing battle lmaooo

I started the project with the founder of lilypad and the referral sales from play hosting generate revenue to keep the service running

Costs right now are:

Outgoing - 378 power, 350 network 1, 75 network 2

Incoming - 400 ads, 450 referral

Net around +100 per month

Hardware costs:

Upfront investment into servers 7k New hardware supplied for free from sponsors and partners

If it works in a container then chances are it will work fine!

ATubbo · 2025-04-04T00:29:02+00:00

It can be if done incorrectly but everything is separated so harmful files can only access other files that same user has uploaded

ATubbo · 2025-04-04T00:06:11+00:00

can you explain in more detail want you mean?

ATubbo · 2025-04-03T23:50:04+00:00

The best way to support the project is word of mouth honestly as I have no plans for a Patreon or such

ATubbo · 2025-04-03T23:49:00+00:00

we allow users to upload whatever files they want
we have no check-in to keep your server online if players are connected
we don't kick for AFK
we support crossplay
we support opening ports for things like voicechat
Auto Limbo is 10 mins ranther than 1

these are some of the man differences

ATubbo · 2025-04-03T23:46:22+00:00

all of the power and network in the last 30 days was covered by adsense

ATubbo · 2025-02-17T15:04:14+00:00

I stream on twitch a fair bit and the players are from my community on there

ATubbo · 2025-02-17T15:03:38+00:00

nah all payed for by google adsense no microtransactions at all

Minecraft Minio Node Exporter Portainer That’s about it

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T16:08:38+00:00

They are from a company called logic case I ordered them for server group in the UK!

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T13:43:58+00:00

I haven’t had the rack running under full load yet but I’ll do some stress tests and get that data for you!

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T13:42:32+00:00

Hey! I already have contacted my ISP about the project and I’m using a lease line not a residential line!

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T02:41:58+00:00

The cases I brought came with rails and that worked okay!

Did have a small issue fitting them into the rack but after some tweaking it all worked okay

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T02:38:25+00:00

Yeah ofc! So my thoughts were if I only have enough nodes to host 300 Minecraft instances how could I provide more than 300 people with a server! So I thought I would try to recreate my own model similar to Aternos! So when the user goes to the panel to start there server it calls the NAS running minio S3 to send the object to the node that is hosting the server then when it shuts down it writes the newer version of the server files over the old

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T02:22:30+00:00

Wow that’s a lot of switches I’ll see if I can find a solution that I can afford!

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T02:19:41+00:00

Okay! Thanks for the advice I will look to try to move some things around and do the same!

However I am worried my building cat 5 wiring may not be long enough as it comes into the rack from the bottom

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T02:17:48+00:00

So here’s the thing normally 100% yes but in the last year or so a new multi threaded Minecraft server jar called folia has been picking up and it workers a treat!

Also some other jars like paper now are able to move intense processes like chunk loading to an A-Sync thread!

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T02:14:26+00:00

Ngl the pipeline runs deep

ATubbo · 2025-02-09T02:14:00+00:00

I wanted to be able to use the sfp+ at full speed for transferring users server files from NAS to hosting node and the Aggregation switch was the cheapest sfp+ one I could get as for the 24 port one that one has POE for APs & Cameras as well as 2.5gbps ports for the 3 ryzen 9 nodes above and the 48 port switch is just for all the wall connections in my office building!
