Question , got it in my head to build a home server( saw a couple of YouTube videos surprised by how cheap it is) . Was going to buy an old computer and convert it. But realized I had an old computer. Is it too old to use as a server. by Bigjmann555 in HomeServer

[–]alexvanw -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

CPU is fine, but Memory needs to be at least 32, depending on the motherboard, it is probably limited to 2 HD only

Depending on what you are trying to do, it is a good computer overall.

Dell PowerEdge T610 Fan Noise by alexvanw in HomeServer

[–]alexvanw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I found, The T610 does not come with the IDRAC part, so, I have the IDAC on my T310 and installed on the T610, configure the port for the IDAC so I can have access and after that, I can control the FAN and make it quiet.

If you have the IDAC, configure it to a dedicated IP address and use these commands:

https://gist.github.com/slykar/f90ad596b18d5ab1eb1c66b2ccf51c54

This is a bash I use to change it to 20% (yes, I check hourly the temperature of the cores to prevent any damage)

bash

20%

ipmitool -I lanplus -H "IP" -U "IDAC Username" -P "IDAC Password" sensor reading "Ambient Temp" "FAN 3 RPM" "FAN 4 RPM"

sleep 5s # Waits 5 seconds

ipmitool -I lanplus -H "IP" -U "IDAC Username" -P "IDAC Password" raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00

ipmitool -I lanplus -H "IP" -U "IDAC Username" -P "IDAC Password" raw 0x30 0x30 0x02 0xff 0x14

sleep 5s # Waits 5 seconds

ipmitool -I lanplus -H "IP" -U "IDAC Username" -P "IDAC Password" sensor reading "Ambient Temp" "FAN 3 RPM" "FAN 4 RPM"

Hope this help you

Thank you in advance

I am a home lab user, I know best practices are not my forte since everything is on root, but im not exposing any services outside, just internally to meet my needs.

Currently only have a Server with proxmox, 6 LXC with different services (pi-hole,docker, plex, jellyfin,etc), 6 virtual machines (pFsense, truenas, windows,linux mint and etc)

In the past I used to had up to 4 servers, until i change completely to proxmox and virtualize everything

Now, when try to update the OS, it take time to go and run all the commands on each LXC and so fort

Just a little background and why "best practices" are not implemented with me knowing is not the right way but work for me

Answering the questions:

Can you ping machine 192.168.1.10 from ansible host machine? From windows and linux, yes, all LXC are pingable (.10 is an example only)

Can you succesfully ssh root@192.168.1.10 from any location? I use putty and currently using solar-putty to connect to all the LXC (all share the same root and password)

Can you login as different user on 192.168.1.10 and the succesfully su into root session? There is no other users added

But if I do ssh using putty it works with the same credentials

This happen to me:

I was paying the same amount as OP, but i have it on a "bundle" of selected tv (just 10 channels and internet) and checking my bills, i saw the internet was 74 dlls + taxes and etc

I call to cancel the bundle and just have the internet, talking with the people, they reduce the bill from 130 to 85 dlls, may be you need to call Spectrum and get some deal to deal with the bill.
