I need to build a back up file server that will be temporary and reasonably power thrifty , maybe for a couple of month's or so.
I am currently limited to the one fairly new motherboard that I am not using and that I still have.
Two parts that I HAVE to use:
Biostar B85 chip-set motherboard.
Celeron G1840 dual core.
I have 8 gigs of regular DDR3 desktop ram, sure wish I could use ECC ddr3 on that motherboard since I have tons of that.
I have about 1.3 Tb's of very important data so three 2 Tb hard drives in raid would be plenty.
I really like ProxMox and the hardware does meet the minimum specs, just barely but it does.
I am thinking ProxMox with ZFS and one vm of probably Ubuntu 20.04 as a simple file server.
Doable?
Intel shows the Celeron to be compatible with ecc ram but biostars website shows absolutely nothing about it.
May have to plug in a few sticks to test for the heck of it as I have a couple of 16 gb sticks just sitting unused.
