Let me look into the R610 but I think it is a huge electricity hog for very old tech that a NUC can outpace easily.@a_skeleton_03 I am looking to setup my first homelab. How did you determine what hardware you needed to run what you have? Right now I am looking to run three game servers, Plex, and ownCloud. It is the same cost for me to get a rack mount PowerEdge R610 or an Intel NUC. Is the rack mount overkill? Is the NUC not powerful enough?
I have two servers on there for MC.Needs Minecraft
For those of you running OwnCloud, make sure you stay on top of updates I've been reviewing CVEs for years and that software regularly appears there.
I used to use a lot of VMs but a while ago I switched to using lower power systems instead. A raspberry pi 3 is generally fast enough costs practically nothing.
Let me know how those Xeon's perform.New server is in the mail supermicro e200-8d, 64 GB ram. Cost a hell of a lot more than I paid for that old shitty dell but it should use about a 20th of the power.
Yeah been using it for a month but this reminds me I should work on this thread again.If you hate couchpotato @a_skeleton_03 you might want to take a look at Radarr . It's a fork of sonarr and i've been using it a couple of weeks and so far so good. It's also being updated and worked on.
