Why is debian so comfy?
>>52029452
Screenfetch defaults to some PowerPC model when it can't read /proc/cpuinfo.
>>52029798
debian is the comfiest of them all

Thanks, Anon. This may be exactly what I'm after for now.
Why do those seem more expensive than the tower versions?

You are using one of your phones as a server? Is there a reason why?
literally only used to idle in rizon idlerpg

yup

Old netbook used as a home server. Actually pretty good.
>>52030268
not him but spare old android phones make great little servers
- small
- low power
- no noise
- will run tons of gnu/linux software natively with a chroot
- integrated UPS
similar reasons to use an old laptop, really, only even smaller and quieter (and likely also less powerful, but that's not always a problem)
guys how to do it on windows
>>52030739
How do you even get Debian onto a phone?
Please share. I've tried before, a year ago on an outdated Samsung, and I just ended up bricking it. No harm done, I just thre it away, but if getting a standard Linux distro onto a phone is easier now, I'd like to know.
>>52030777

>>52030795
Chroot.
>>52030777
You don't have windows on your server do you?
>>52030795
the easy way is to just run it as a chroot alongside android

Hey guys can I join in.
Here's a server I'm about to get rid of because I have no idea what to use it for (even though it's cheap for what it is)
>>52031141
Thats a lot of RAM anon
>>52030739
This
It's just a matter of finding one that doesn't have too old of a kernel version because the old kernels can be shit
69 days!
Ayo, Orange Pi PC going stron for almost 55 days
>>52030980
What the fuck do you even do with this monstrosity?
>>52031141
Still want ideas?
>>52030817
Have you got some rooted device first? Or just go on file system and trying those commands?
Is there any tutorial online?
>>52031336
Right now it runs 3 seedboxes for me and my friends, it runs a Hentai at Home client (because damn there are some funny western ones), a webserver, and a couple miscellaneous items.
It's also got 2x /28's of IPs and is on unmetered gigabit.
I work at a datacenter so the hardware is mine and the network connectivity freeeeee!
>>52031372
it's the same as a regular chroot, you need root, yes
there's probably tutorials for it, but i was already familiar with linux when i went to try it
>>52031380
Forgot picture.
>>52031396
You don't need root for a chroot actually! That's why it's so neat. You only need root to give your chroot access to the hardware as root.
>>52031411
you sure? even if so (fakeroot?) i can't imagine it'd be too useful, due to the mentioned fact that you won't have access to everything without root
Guess, I should update this.
>>52031450
It just means you have to run your services on ports above 1024. You also can't directly access some things in /dev/. But you can access everything that you own in the chroot, just not things that are bound to real root devices outside the chroot.
When you chroot, let's say in mnt, you'll have binds like so:
/dev/ => /mnt/dev/
/proc/ => /mnt/proc/
/sys/ => /mnt/sys/
So you can't touch things there that require root, and you can't bind under port 1024 or ports already in use by the system. But that's about it for the basic limitations. Go nuts!
>>52031487
>that uptime

it's so tempting
>>52031396
https://wiki.debian.org/ChrootOnAndroid
some nice link on that
>>52031274
Can you give me some insight? I bought one recently, and I'm still waiting for it to arrive.
>>52031498
>When you chroot, let's say in mnt, you'll have binds like so:
It's safer to mount stuff twice
chroot first, then
mount proc -t proc proc/
mount udev -t devtmpfs dev/
mount sysfs -t sysfs sys/
some systems need:
mount devpts -t devpts dev/pts
mount tmpfs -t tmpfs /dev/shm

r8 no h8
>>52031786
whaddya use it for?
>>52031791
Web server + storage server. I recently got 3 3 TB hard drives. Planning on setting up raid on it. Been too lazy with school in the way. It's been running with only 30gb storage for quite some time now.
>>52031837
it is collocated or in your basement?
>>52031848
basement. Didn't really want to have to pay out the ass for someone to host a server for me. It's all I need *shrugs*
>>52031862
do you run anything for anyone or just personal use? if the former i would definitely recommend collocation
>>52031665
What kind of insight?
>>52031885
It's for me and me alone. It might host a plaintext copy of my resume on the website. But that's about it. Planning on doing a lot of stuff with it too. And it's always nice to have a Linux environment when I'm stuck at work.
Also I use it as an ssh tunnel so I can get by the proxy at work.
>>52031918
Well, are you satisfied with your purchase? And what about the onboard wifi? Is it any good?
>>52031936
The PC doesn't have WiFi, I use ethernet
And I am satisfied. It werkz fine. Underclocked the CPU to 1.2 (from 1.5) and it's running cooler now.
Run it for torrents (Deluged) and other simple shit
>>52031949
Sweet, thanks. Waiting on mine, should come in 2 or 3 weeks... I'll just use it for some httpd, irc and perhaps a low budget seedbox.
>>52031985
Just know that if you install the Ubuntu image that's on the forum that it has a lot of junk on it
Shit like libre office
What should I do with small dedicated server AND VPS?
>>52032047
porn streaming
>>52032039
Nah man, I'm installing the arm build of Void Linux. I'm already familiarized with the package manager and service manager. Plus, there's the added factor of the simplicity of the distro: it's pretty barebones.
>>52032059
Alrighty, cool
I went with the Ubuntu image because it was the only one that didn't require other fucking around and it just werkd™
Little gigabyte brix, does a great job at plex + minecraft
>>52032075
plex is fucking great
>>52032059
Also, to test the performance I installed the Minecraft server thing and it worked fine after it loaded everything
>>52032106
>3GB of RAM used
why
>>52032104
Well, it's a quadcore processor. Should be able to handle that relatively well.
>>52032085
damn straight!

On my Banana Pi running Bananian I get an error when installing Screenfetch, that there is no such package. However I could install it on a Notebook running Debian. Did you get it with apt-get?
>>52032182
That would reveal my identity, which is not something i'd like to do. It's an anonymous forum for a reason...
>>52032202
pls
>>52032193
Try installing it manually

my family loves it. all i do is torrent a movie or a show with RSS feeds and they think im some sort of tech god. feelsgoodman
>>52032193
Yes, i use the stock debian packages
Just ordered a server. Should I run a webserver or horde porn?

>>52034786
He has his workflow and it works for him. I personally try to avoid Cygwin but sometimes it's just damn nice to have. Especially when you actually understand how to use and tune it to be a decent size install and to up your productivity.
have one of my pi
