What servers do you run in your house?

[megadarkwood]

I just have a small (16gb) "server" running on my router, I know some people have crazy home storage servers one this forum but what else do you guys run? Music streaming? video streaming? Web server? .etc

 

 

[xXxYOLOxSWAGxXx_420BlazeIt]

I have one that I use to stream TV over the internet. I stream live sporting events, and other TV events. I use it as the source of the stream, and then Amazon EC2 to relay it to viewers.

 

It is a 3570k, and 8GB of RAM. It is in a enclosed cupboard and recieves DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 signals.

 

I have multiple dedis and VPSs but they are not hosted at home. I dont see the point. I would happily colocate my stream 'server' if I could find a DC that allowed for a satellite dish and antenna to be installed.

[brownninja97]

i dont have any, i cant afford it.

[vorticalbox]

I have a NAS with 1.5 TB space, that streams movies to all my devices in the house and acts as a file backup.

[ForsakenLive]

I have a home server, it's like a sort of NAS and game server.

[Atlantisman]

Domain, DNS, NAS, file servers, web servers, database servers, linux routers, torrent server, game servers from time-to-time, voice chat servers from time-to-time. a friend's development environment and maybe more?

[Mo5]

Does running Xlight on an always on PC count?

Talk about living and breathing what you do. Heh

I have a FreeNAS server (Dual Old Xeons, X5472s, 32GB of DDR2 ECC RAM, etc) with a single 4TB Seagate drive (sadly not NAS drive) that is my Plex, Transmission, & MC Server host. 

I've been thinking of adding new utilities to it, but haven't bothered yet.

[Atlantisman]

Do you just like... Shit money?

The unit he is running is really not that expensive.

yeah, just buy cheap and second hand. go for G5, 6 or 7 for the best price/performance/powerusage combination.

 

That said, 48TB aint cheap

[Atlantisman]

Surplus servers from ebay are awesome.

 

Surplus server components from ebay are also awesome. I have bought RAID cards that are MSRP 400+ for under 80 on ebay. Same for network cards.

Indeed, I have about 10-12TB of usable space currently. I need to buy some more 3TB WD Reds soon.

[LarsReviews]

The Google Server is in my Basement. 

 

You can actually let companies rent your Basement in Germany and then you can use the server heat for your house. It is pretty cool.

Indeed, bought quite a few components for my server like this,

with very satisfying results so far.

Anwyay, my server setup isn't really anything too fancy. APOLLO

is a dual-socket machine wich two X5630 quad-core Xeons on a

Supermicro X8DT3-LN4F, running for now three VMs (one for our

media server, one for my personal data and one for my dad's business

data) and a VPN server for accessing everything from outside when

needed. More VMs will probably come as I find uses for them.

[rockking1379]

HyperVisor with following VMs

• Windows Server 2009 R2 for Space Engineers
• Ubuntu Web Server
• Ubuntu Database Server
• Debian Xen Orchestra for managing Xen Server
• Ubuntu Minecraft Server Host
• pfSense virtual router for NATing the VMs from the single connection that the college i attend has allowed me to use

it works well for me. granted it isnt in my "house" per se but i live on campus year round so close enough. web server runs my owncloud and plex. space engineers is driving me nuts with not being accessible for whatever reason.

[Blade of Grass]

I have one server at home (though I do also have a VPS).

 

My home server runs on Debian and runs a few different things:

• Plex Media Server for my house
• Ubiquiti Controller (for my access points)
• BTSync to synchronise all my files (also use it for a sort of "backup" of stuff)
• OwnCloud (so I can get my documents when I'm at school, works in combination with BTSync)
• DNS server (for fast DNS queries from home, and to make a few .local links so that I can type less IPs)
• Samba server so my computers can connect to it

My VPS hosts a bunch of websites too.

[KTFO|SGTmoody]

I have one of my old PC currently running 2-3 VM's  its a bit tight with only 4Gb of ram so looking at an upgrade soon.

It runs:

• phsense rtr
• windows for troble shooting phsense
• Free Nas
• ubuntu sever  for things.....

I would put tuns more on there so pland upgrade will allow more routers as well as proxie dns and other stuffs.

Then a Raspberry Pi for SNMP monitoring

 

I dont know if this counts as its not on "all" the time  but I aslo have a home Lab consisting of:

• 1 Dell Poweredge 2800
• 1 Dell Poweredge 2850
• 1 Dell Poweredge 850
• 2 Dell Poweredge 2950's
• 2 Dell Poweredge 1950's
• 3 Netgear managed 24 Port gigabit switches with 2 fiber moduels in each
• 1 3com managed 48 port gigabit switch with 4 sfp fiber modules
• 1 Dlink 48port managed 100mbps switch with gig sfp uplinks
• 1 Cisco 2851 ISR router with 16port switch card
• 1 Cisco 1800 router
• 1 Cisco 800 router
• 1 Cisco 7400 ASR
• 1 EMC 4Gbps 16 port san fiber switch

All containd in a 48U server rack.   Remember its a lab... 

Probably getting a bit long now so I wont post the specs.  the best info is eveyrthing is fully upgraded to what it can handle IE: 32Gb of ram and 2X quad xeons multiple NIC's and 4G fiber cards.

 

They run everything under the sun in VM's  so a mixture of HyperV  Vmware and that opensource one that i keep forgetting what its called.

 

 

I also colocate one of my own servers in a datacenter (another Poweredge1950)

This does:

• server 2012 R2 as main host running HyperV
• Plex server
• ubuntu webserver
• backup server
• minecraft server.  one or two are hosted out to peeople for free just because i can.
• teamspeek
• ISO store
• ftp server
• windows hosts for services routed over vpn to home
• and tor realy server as i some what support this project ever so slightly
• Free nas
• Kali
• proxie server
• DNS
• cod4 game servers
• torrent client for mirroring things like  world of tanks or free linux versions.

Probably the best thing is it has a 1Gbps connection so i can download 4-5 gig iso's in about 3-4 minutes.  (head melts)

[Ginz]

In my home server (Xeon E3 1225v3, 32GB ECC RAM running Ubuntu 12.04) I have:

• 12TB (4x3TB WD RED) in ZFS RAIDZ2
• OpenVPN server
• LAMP (web server)
• FTP server
• OpenVPN server
• DNS server
• Samba server
• Minecraft servers
• CS-GO server
• Multiple Linux Containers running some of these (e.g. Multiple web hosts and minecraft servers sandboxed for friends to manage)
• VNC server
• Ventrilo server (I know; pretty oldschool.)
• SSH of course
• Multiple VMs in KVM
• Probably more that I can't remember off the top of my head

Oh, you qualify for the storage showowoff topic!

[mrltpwnage]

I have 2 Sun Microsystems Sun Fire x2200 M2 servers (16gb ram, 1.5tb storage) one running windows 2008 r2 and the other one running linux. One of my friends bought one off of me and hosts mine for me. I use it for stuffing around, game servers and odd jobs.

[thepriceyman]

Seeing as I run a lot of LAN parties and a few of my friends and I are developing a Game we have a pretty beefy server HP G5 ml370 32gb Ram + 10 500gb hard drives and 2 xeon 2.0ghz processors(quad). 

Its used to host our website : http://www.vidze.co.uk and is also used as a team foundation server. along with a few virtual pc's to make sure the programs works in lots of different situations e.g. vista  ,7, 8 , 8.1 and a few Linux distros + 1 OSX distro.

Also occasionally gets used for editing and rendering videos in a windows 7 media virtual machine that people can use.

Also gets used for minecraft, tf2, Garrys mod servers occasionaly + Quake 3

[_Grid21]

I have a server in my house that has a 3Ghz processor, 4GB of ram, and 3 hard drives. One 1TB hard drive for the OS, another 1TB for storage, and one 500GB hard drive. Plus some two extra hard drives for storage, one of those drives (150GB to be exact) runs all my Minecraft server data off of. I use my server for my TeamSpeak server, Minecraft servers, and file server. It's running Windows 2003 Server R2. If you play Minecraft I can message you the IP if you would like to check out how well the server runs.

 

 

Also, Has Linus ever made a video showing off the server that runs this forum? If so, I'd like to see it.

That would be kind of difficult as last I heard it was in a data

center somewhere far, far away.
