@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.
