@mckinley@twtxt.net Here’s a summary of my setup:

• I maintain a small “Mini DC” comprised of 22RU cabinet 600mm deep.
  
• This houses 3x 1RU Xeon machines + 1 RU 10 3.5” + 4 2.5” NAS + 4RU UPS + 1RU 24-port Gbps Switch/Router + 1RU Tray in the middle + 1RU patch panel at the top.
  
• This is now hooked up to 250/100 Mbps Fibre 😅
  
• I run Proxmov VE on the 3x Hypervisor machines. They run a dozen or so Virtual Machines.
  
• I run a couple of Docker Swarm clusters on those machines, running BurmillaOS (a fork of RancherOS).
  
• I just use the local LAN network to SSH into machines, but each physical machine also has an IPMI management interface too for when things go wrong (rarely).
  
• I run so many services I can’t being to list them here. But it’s in the order of ~50-60 unique services. Some of which you’re familiar with as many are public facing, some are internal and others are locked down behind auth.

@prologic@twtxt.net I looked up BurmillaOS and this is definitely one for my thread about unique Linux distributions. Very interesting.

Everything in BurmillaOS is a Docker container. We accomplish this by launching two instances of Docker. One is what we call System Docker and is the first process on the system. All other system services, like ntpd, syslog, and console, are running in Docker containers. System Docker replaces traditional init systems like systemd and is used to launch additional system services.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yup 👍
