Hi everyone! I am looking for an affordable Proxmox home server; do you have any suggestions? Currently, I am running mainly two VMs: a pfSense and a FreeNAS. PfSense acts as firewall between LAN and modem, while FreeNAS acts as home NAS by handling 2x6TB passed-through hard-disks in mirroring...

I just moved into a new house, and somehow during the move my server died. Here's my build writeup of that (now dead) server. I took this opportunity to do a little upgrade. The rebuild is essentially the same, I just dropped in a new CPU+Motherboard+RAM. Previously it was an ASRock...

Hi All, A few months ago, I started a thread asking advice for pfSense hardware to support a 150/150 Mbps home connection. In the end, I decided to go with the APU2C4, and I've been very happy with that decision, until now. I figured that would hold me over for the next few years at least. But...

The SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F ships with an onboard LSI-2116. I've never worked with an HBA or a DAS before, so I'm may be doing this wrong, but here's what I want to do: Hook up the 4 internal SFF-8643 ports to this Quad External MINI SAS HD SFF-8644 to Internal MINI SAS HD SFF-8643 12G...

Upgrading my home/office server to a Supermicro X10SDV-7TP4F motherboard.

I managed to get these powered on in the datacenter yesterday. SM let me borrow 4x of their MicroBlade nodes. Two are dual Xeon D nodes on one sled and one SSD per node. The other two are single Xeon D nodes on a sled but with spots for 4x SSDs per node. Here are the nodes getting ready for...

This finally arrived a few minutes ago! Starting a thread. From what I understand, we will see the Intel Xeon D-1541 version in a few weeks but time to get testing! Update 1: Adding BIOS images for main screen and the 3rd storage screen: Awaiting more memory to arrive. <Reserved for updates>

I know a lot of folks are using Xeon D and with the latest batch of chips more folks will be using it. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (even 14.04.3 LTS) does not ship with the Intel X550 driver required by default. Caveats: If you want to use a new version, change the version string under #installer...

Hello everyone, New to the forum, very interesting discussions and great articles on STH! Glad to be here! I am looking into adding an additional node to my proxmox cluster. My primary goal is not much noise, and lowest possible power usage vs crunch-power. At the moment I am running 2...
