How many of you guys have servers and what is their use?

[ginner159]

So was wondering if you guys have servers and if so what do you use them for? I have 2 vps 1 currently just for teamspeak and one laying dormant (might see if i can fold on it)

 

Also if its a NAS pre-bought or custom build which do you prefer?

[Prastupok]

I have 2... one server that handles the critical backups for work, and another that holds all of my music, recordings, etc.

Man id love your Leviathan pc!

When it finally comes out of it's custom enclosure I'll post one. As it stands its extremely heavy, and linked up to a ton of recording equipment.

2 servers running 24/7 in our house. 1 Freenas server for files/movies/music and 1 Apache for our websites.

 

EDIT: Ah, yes. Add a Raspberry Pi to that for our mailserver

I have a server running FreeNAS that I use for backups and media:

Intel Pentium G3258 @ stock

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB

Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI

Fractal Design Node 304 Black

3x WD Red 2TB in RAID-Z, with Crucial MX100 128GB cache drive

EVGA 500B

[Extingquish]

I used to have a RPi server for mumble, but nobody used it, and now I think my SD card is bricked

[PumaXCS]

Reclaimed Dell for media storage and backups. As of now it is still on a trial run if we would use it or not so, only 1TB external drive and an old 60GB SSD. Its also doubled as a game stream now so I'm looking to upgrade it here soon, case and storage, the i5 takes game stream like a champ.

it runs backups, plex and in the future maybe some more exciting things

Turned my first PC into a server running ubuntu (server) which I use as backup via 4x 2TB External USB2/3 drives and storage for media on 2x 1TB internal drives as well as hosting personal projects like my weather station among other things. Also got my first laptop running as a server/dev machine with kubuntu.

Yep 16TB IN RAID 1 (HP ProLiant with Dual Core + 4GB ECC RAM)

[Sir Asvald]

I've got 2, Image Bellow.

 

Small one is my Firewall, Big one is for VMWARE, hosting virtual Servers for people.

@looney is building quite the NAS/server right now

[Atlantisman]

I have 4 servers.

 

Dedicated pfsense router.

ESXI - Primary E3 Xeon, 32gb of ram

ESXI - Backup E3 Xeon, 32gb of ram

NAS - 20TB of storage on freenas

 

I host Plex(for friends and family), game servers, web servers, database servers, automatic downloading servers (usenet), file servers, and etc.

Current rack:

 

(no idea why the image flipped, its fine on my system)

 

Specs of the super-micro:

What it runs:

 

 

 

Current bedside-table:

 

 

These are not in use but still functional so I can use them incase there is a big problem with the primary ESXi system.

 

 

Feel free to ask me anything about these systems and what i do with them.

[urworstnit3m3r]

I don't have an official server but just an old pc turned into a server that i only use for teamspeak and a minecraft server. I have a prebuild nas but i think i would have preferred to have a better server and have that do what i need since the nas i have is a bit weak on power and was pretty pricey.

Sounds like mine

Well, mine also runs the Ubiquity Controller Software

[dzonidev]

I have 3 servers in da house. All of them are DIY. One WHS 2011 and two Debian machines.

[SOUTHwarrior]

I have my server set up in a colo with a 500mb up/down connection that I have ESXI running with windows server 2012, pfsense, centos for file storage and other services. The windows host is running plex and a few minecraft servers and ldap for login on my other hosts. All of this running on a 2950 with a 4gig port channel going to my 3845 then to the internet. Pay no attention the the 100/100 connection as that has been recently upgraded, as I upgraded my router to the 3845 and it currently handles my ipsec connections.

I wish I had a 3750g . I've got 3550,2950, 3524xl and a Cisco Express 500.

[TheKDub]

Not much of a server, but I've got a 10 year old or so desktop running as a host for a vanilla minecraft server + the web panel for the server.

It does a decent job, though I'd like to build a much better server to replace it eventually.

@looney   i can only dream for a setup like that! your internet connection must be balling.

@looney   i can only dream for a setup like that! your internet connection must be balling.

Not really, At the moment I cant get more then 100/100 on my FTTH so I will soon get my old copper line back up as a second line, that will be 200/20.

so total will then be 300/120.
