My First Proper Homeserver - Update
I have made a post some months ago about "My First Proper Homeserver" and the time has come for an update. I have made some changes on the hardware and the software got updated too. The process is really slow, because of work- and family-related things ("casual life" in other words) and because I'm a beginner (in homelab topic) but want to do things possibly right.
The actual status:
- Proxmox VE 9.1.7 - up and running
- qbittorrent nox - up and running
- Jellyfin - up and running
- Nextcloud - transfer from old server under planning
- Wireguard - to do
- Pi-hole - to do
- To find out what else - to do
The actual HW:
- Supermicro X10DRL-i (Mainboard)
- 2x Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 (CPUs)
- 8x 32GB SK-Hynix DDR4 RDIMM (RAM)
- HP 562FLR-T 10Gb 2-Port Ethernet Adapter in a PCIe X8 FlexibleLOM adapter (Network card)
- PNY nVidia P1000 4GB (Graphics card forJellyfin transcoding)
- Intel Optane 900P 280GB (Storage for ZFS Log)
- LSI 9400-16i (RAID controller card in IT-mode, connecting the drives of the ZFS-pools)
- Supermicro AOC-SLG-2M2 with a pair of 480GB Micron NVMe SSDs (Storage for Metadata / Cache)
- PCIE to USB 3.2 Expansion Card connected the front panel
- 12x Micron 5200 1.92TB (Storage - Bigpool)
- 4x Toshiba 1.6TB (Storage - Smallpool)
- 3x Samsung PM883 480GB SATA SSD (Redundant VM storage)
- 1x Samsung CM871a 256GB SATA SSD (Storage for Host OS)
- Fractal Design Define 7 (Case)
- 2x Xilence XC061 (CPU coolers)
- 2x Arctic P9 PWM PST (Fans cooling the add-on cards)
- 4x Arctic P14 PWM PST (Intake and exhaust fans)
- Seasonic Platinum Fanless 520W (Power supply unit)
- Corsair Commander Pro (Fan controller)
Yes, the 520W PSU is sufficient. In the actual state the whole server needs 120W with some 140W-spikes. And if anyone wants to know, the HP 562FLR-T card in the FlexLOM adapter fits perfectly over the RAM sticks, it still has 4-5mm clearance.
