Hello,
I am currently planing the build of 3 homeservers to run a Proxmox-HA cluster with CEPH. They will be joined over 40GbE.
Load will probably be quite small, I plan to run the following (partly in docker containers on a VM, partly in its own vm):
I am now considering if I want to use Hardware that I already have available or If it is better to buy new/used (or use 2 available servers and build a new one). Main criteria is total cost over runtime (kWh ~18ct where I live (Europe))
I have available:
As that hardware is quite old, would it make sense to build new (PC compnents, not server components)?
Thanks
Daniel
I am currently planing the build of 3 homeservers to run a Proxmox-HA cluster with CEPH. They will be joined over 40GbE.
Load will probably be quite small, I plan to run the following (partly in docker containers on a VM, partly in its own vm):
- 3 Wordpress instances
- Homeassistant (home automation software)
- Nextcloud
- simple webserver for static sites
- OpenVPN
- pfSense
- Tiny Tiny RSS (RSS-Server)
- 2 database containers for different uses (mongodb, mysql)
- Plex or JellyFin (Media Server)
I am now considering if I want to use Hardware that I already have available or If it is better to buy new/used (or use 2 available servers and build a new one). Main criteria is total cost over runtime (kWh ~18ct where I live (Europe))
I have available:
- "Server" with I5-4460T, Asus H97M-Plus, 2x4gb DDR3 Non-ECC Ram, 2x64GB SSD
- Server with Xeon E3-1230V3, Intel S1200V3RPS Board and 32GB of DDR3-ECC Ram
- "Server" with Celeron G1820, Asrock B85M, 5GB DDR2 non-ECC Ram
- Server with dual Xeon E5-2620, 64gb DDR3 ECC-Ram, Intel S2600GZ4 S2600G (Z/L) Dual LGA2011
As that hardware is quite old, would it make sense to build new (PC compnents, not server components)?
Thanks
Daniel
