I ordered all the new parts for my new home server running startOS.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Ram: DDR4 2 x 8GB
Mainboard: GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2
Tower: 1x be quiet! PURE BASE 501 LX
PSU: 650W be quiet with cable management
SSD: Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD, 4 TB, PCIe 4.0
thermaltake water cooling for the CPU too
No GPU?
Can the board run the ryzen headless?
yes its headless
but every mainboard got a gpu
this will be enough for installing
the startOS or do maintenance
Hopefully you're right.
I don't think I can boot mine headless.
Normally this is reserved for server stuff.
i think with linux ints possible somehow
it has nothing to do with the hardware
it depends on the OS which you are running
its a small graphics chip on the mainboard
if you dont play video games
you also dont need a heavy gpu
Can the board do 2x NVMe? That’s the only thing I’d suggest is 2x ssd in RAID mirror, I have not had great luck with those Samsung drives tbh
yes it got 2 x M.2 slots and mainboard is able to do
a raid 0, 1 or 10 but i dont know if that works well?
Yeah it would offer some redundancy if one drive fails.
You can set up the two drive in Raid during Ubuntu install, don’t need the hardware raid
Sovereignty starts at home.
Self-hosted. No cloud. No trust.
StartOS + Bitcoin = freedom.
GM! How about installing Proxmox VE on your beast of server at first and put that new StartOS in a VM managed by Proxmox?
its something i heard a lot
is proxmox that stable?
okay i could use my server in different ways, this i get.
but i like to run a lightning node
and for that proxmox feels a little less safe to me
Proxmox ist Open Source und es gibt sogar eine Free-Version. Läuft auf meinem Homeserver stabil. Ist ein Versuch wert!
Hatte die Empfehlung vor langer Zeit aus diversen Podcasts wie Plebs Taverne Nodesignal und #EINUNDZWANZIG von Meister Cerca aus CH 😀
durch proxmox wird aber für mein setup nichts besser
ich möchte den server nicht mit 2 ebenen software belasten
das macht nur sinn wenn man verschiedene VM laufen lassen möchte
