U running Proxmox on these badboys?

Yup just setting them all up now

Running Proxmox with a bunch of #NixOS guests on a HP Elitedesk at home too. Works great!

Have 7 of these setup as a Nomad cluster - 3 server nodes (for HA control plane), 4 nodes to host workloads. The happiest I've been with my homelab in yearrrrs

Amazing, yes I am going to try to get my hands on more

you self hosting internet-facing services from home?

Yup, using cloudflare proxies, port 80 only

dope! how’s your uplink? assuming cloudflare negates the need for a static IP?

Yeah don't need a static IP, and I get 3gbps upload from my house, plenty of bandwidth

🔥

Port 80? 🤔

assuming cloudflare terminates client TLS and reverse proxies over plain http on an encrypted channel.

Yah port 80 to cloudflare then 443 from cloudflare

U said trash ?

My dads company was throwing all of these out

Why exactly?

Everyone working from home and wanted laptops

can I work there from home too ?🇰🇪

Whose trash you diving in?

Corporate trash

I like that running your own hardware is cool again.

You gonna set up a Kubernetes cluster?

Nah seems like overkill for what I need

I'm convinced that systems like this with nvme and zfs can out perform traditional 'server' hardware raid

Proxmox to the rescue! Enjoy building your cluster.
