So /g/, where my home server anons at? Where is the love?
HP Proliant Microserver gen8
4GB RAM
Celeron CPU
500GB HDD (OS Ubuntu 16.04)
12TB storage
Using it as a plex media server, might do more with after I upgrade the CPU and RAM.

mac server
Is there something like freenas or omv that I can add to an existing linux install? Instead of installing an entirely new OS.

Specs?

Networking newb here, what is the box second from the top? Doesn't look like a switch or a patch bay.
>>55112254
Xserve 3,1 (pictured is 2,1 - I upgraded it)
32GB RAM
x2 Quad core 2.93 xeon
512GB SSD in PCIe for startup disk (Latest release of OSX)
x3 1TB drives in XServe
8TB in the XRAID between 2 controllers (RAID 5)
12TB in WD NAS used for system wide backups (RAID 5)
I mostly use it for PLEX, system backups, and mass storage for a Mac Pro workstation.

Is the XRAID just a DAS?

>mfw that fucking performance and stability increase
Apus and linux are SHIT together.
>>55112525
You know, I'm not sure what you'd call it. It does not directly connect to the network, it connects to the Xserve through 2Gb/s fiber channel. It has two 100Mb ethernet ports for management only which is connected directly to the network. When you connect it to the xserve via Fiber, the XRAID shows up under the shared portion of Finder on all computers on the network. So I assume it's a DAS, but that last part is confusing to me.
>>55112507
Craigslist is your best friend.
I upgraded the shit out of mine after I got it.
Single Hexa core 3.46 Xeon
32GB RAM
ATI Radeon 5870 Mac edition (used to have a GTX 970 in there before I came to my senses)
512TB PCIe SSD
x4 2TB HDD's
Apple RAID Card
Sup fellows. I got a TS140 running proxmox. I'm trying to figure out the best way I can manage proxmox remotely. I'm guessing the best way would be to setup and OpenVPN server and connect to that and then launch the proxmox web browser like normal. Does this sound flawed or okay?
>>55112720
>ATI Radeon 5870 Mac edition (used to have a GTX 970 in there before I came to my senses)
What do you mean by this? I was going to use my GTX960 in mine under the impression it'd work fine.
These are sexy. I was going to make one out of an Optiplex Dell. Amazon doesn't have the best collection from what I can tell. Any recommendations?
>>55112758
That's the best way, senpai.
>>55112818
Thanks for the feedback.
>>55112790
You can no problem. You don't get the normal boot screen, so hold onto a mac compatible card no matter what. Without it, you can't put the computer into recovery.
I used to use this a my workstation, gaming computer, plex server (with that WD NAS box), and network backup.
I got my dedicated server for plex and network backups. I got a dedicated computer for gaming. Gaming performance on this (with a GTX970) while running Windows in bootcamp is abysmal.
I put the same card in a windows computer and it was night and day.
>>55112720
Yea that is weird, I'd call it a DAS. Does that slow connectivity bother you much? I wonder why they didn't have an upgraded version for the later Xserves.
>>55112790
Also, the hardest part about using a non flashed nvidia card (no non flashed AMD support) is having to update the damn nvidia driver. Don't ever let your computer update itself automatically or you'll have a computer with no monitor. You can use screen sharing from another mac, but you'll have to swap GPU's if not if you don't install the right driver. the driver is OSX version specific.
>>55112916
Speeds for file transfers is 2Gb/s, in actuality, it's about as fast as a SATA III connection to a 7200RPM drive. That is 7 PATA drives in RAID 5. I'm pretty impressed by that. The management portion is handled through Ethernet and can done on any computer on the network using the Java application you can install from apple's website. the 100Mb/s speed was kind pointless of me to mention because data stored on the XRAID never flows through there.
You're telling me! I'm pissed they dropped support for XServes all together with OS Sierra. The XRAID is now 12 years old but still kicks ass for what I need it to do. I got it with all the drives and a fleet of replacement parts for $175. I can make this thing run for at least another 5 years fingers crossed.
Run sickrage, couchpotato, openvpn and plex on it.
Travel a bit during holidays (and will travel more in future job) so it's handy.
I like automation.
What is server used for and how to I go about making one for cheap? Seems like a fun hobby
>>55112877
Hm that's not very attractive. I wonder why that is.
>Gaming performance on this (with a GTX970) while running Windows in bootcamp is abysmal.
Is bootcamp a VM or dual boot? I'd be surprised if the performance was bad under bare metal Windows.
>>55113056
I knew it was 2Gb/s for the drives, but I didn't know they were PATA. I hope they bring the Xserve back in some way, they were really nice servers. Like affordable Suns.
>>55105805
Ha! I have exactly the same but with Debian on it, software RAID because the hw raid is shit. Mine's not glued to carpeted wall like yours though
>>55113152
Whenever I wanted to play a game and I was on OSX at the time, restarted the computer, held the option key and selected the SSD that had my windows install on it. expect about a 15-20% reduction in performance compared to what you'd get on a normal windows machine. I could never really figure that out. there is a video out there that shows this somewhere. Also there were weird issues that the CPU would bottleneck for some reason. MGSV ran really well on it though which I thought was strange.
>>55113194
Not in this lifetime. They're too busy working on iOS. Macs are an afterthought, and servers got the middle finger in 2011. I say all of this as an apple employee too. I supported enterprise Xserves and mac pro servers for ~1.5 years.
>>55113216
The "HW" raid is actually software.. I regrettably bought one and upgraded it with a low power i3.
I was so dissapointed with mine i just built my own itx cube instead.
>>55111881
Yo, looks like Intel NUC's to me. I have one I use as a little home server/esxi box. Pretty capable devices
>>55113312
That certainly explains why it wouldn't work properly then.
Basic cube unit was £115 (c$180 usd) and cant complain too much. No gay men with it, but I only need file serving and simple dev
>>55113284
That's a shame, then. What the hell is going on there? They could do things so right and they just don't. I'm not sure where I'm going to get my PCs when they inevitably fuck macOS up beyond all recognition.
Are the rumors true about them developing a rackmount server for internal use?
Dell PowerEdge T620
2x Xeon 2660
192GB RAM
2x 128GB SSD (OS)
4x 480GB SSD (Cache)
12x 4TB HDD (Storage Spaces)
Storage spaces is configured as tiered. Running Server 2012 R2 DC, and about 30 VM's, including SCCM/SCOM, Exchange, AD, TFS, and some other stuff.
Also have an 8 core VM carved out for Plex, because 1080p transcoding. Works well.
Pic related, the empty system I started with.

Embracing being a lifestyle product instead of business products. Now instead of having dedicated product lines for business and dedicated lines for consumer, it's all consumer products with sloppy carryover to business. The software announced as WWDC this year was boring for anyone that is going for hardcore productivity. they're still making great computers, but nothing that is making me rush to the store to use my discount.
About the rackmount server, I wouldn't know. After they said fuck it to the xserves, I got moved to supporting Pro apps like Logic and Final cut pro.
>>55113381
in fact where did you hear that? I'd love to look into it if I can

Hit me with that free Logic, help a guy out.
>>55113541
Interesting to say the least. You'd think they'd just refresh the Xserve considering they designed the damn things. It's not like they're strapped for cash or anything.They're just like other macs, able to run pretty much any operating system (efficiency being a possible problem). I don't pretend to know how they facilitate iCloud.

Yessir. Running mine on a Latitude E6500 with two externals. It gets the job done better than the RPi2 before it. When I retire my desktop soon, it may inherit the role.
>>55113650
>You'd think they'd just refresh the Xserve considering they designed the damn things.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it ends up being. But since it's cloud I'm guessing they might want more than a dual socket.
