Been planning to migrate from my Supermicro monolith server for a while and finally finished the migration. Red thing is opnsense on an APU engine, Lenovos run a proxmox cluster, below is a mini PC with attached JBOD running TrueNAS.
Next step is to get another shelf for my Raspi and openDTU.
Damn bro... Nice rack. ππ
KEIN GOTT, KEIN STAAT, KEIN KABELSALAT!
love it :D
Yeah, couldn't resist the sticker :D
Ah, it looked like the work of a lasercutter.... Guess I'm stealing the design :D
can i order the svg?
Idk, you can probably ask the owner via the shop
heh, rack
that is hot
π₯π₯
@tofu I like it. Your βfor nowβ comment is on point; there is always more to do!
For comparison, here is my 19β 15U rack , also a work in progress: PDU, ventilation, 16 port switch, 2U mount for up to 8 Raspberry PI s or NAS., and a 8x KVM HDMI/USB switch to connect the RPis to a small monitor, keyboard and mouse on top. I use one RPi for #HomeAssistant, another for home security cameras and other video, one for HomeBridge, one for Pi-Hole, and other for experimentation and testing. A UPS is in back. I Iove that the rack is on wheels because I frequently move it to get access to the back.
#HomeAutomation.
Oh cool! Wheels are definitely a good idea. I thought about a UPS but our grid is super stable and apparently they cause their own problems now and then.
@tofu UPSs have some glitches, but the benefits of the power conditioning they do (the good ones) outweigh the trouble of the rare glitch. For example, reducing wear and tear on the electronics they power. Also, the performance of some electronics is highly sensitive to the quality of power provided (e.g., no under- or over-voltage conditions). I donβt rely on the UPS for surge protection. For that, I use upstream Tripp-Lite outlets.
This is the first time I've heard about using UPS for something other than powering computers in case of a blackout. Shouldn't the power supplies take care of the rest? Never heard of reducing wear and tear by external components.
@tofu It depends on your local power system. At my house, I see frequent under voltage conditions. Also, some devices are more tolerant than others. Youβll find power conditioning in pretty much all data centers.
Does that sticker say "no God, no State, no cable salad" in German ? Because that is peak Lemmy.
Yes, "Kein Gott, kein Staat, kein Patriarchat" and similar ones are the German versions of "No gods no masters". Got it from Kaoskvlt
Nice rack! I really like these small form racks.
Nice rack!
That exact same phrase is used in a very different context in other communities!
Like when you set up 10 pins for someone else to knock down with a ball and it's pretty symmetric?
Or when youβve smoked the most amazing ribs
Das da unten sieht mir aber nicht nach "kein Kabelsalat" aus
Die sind nicht angeschlossen, die zΓ€hlen nicht!
Nur weil Kabel den Anschluss verlieren, darf man sie nicht direkt ausschlieΓen!
Lookin pretty slick, I dig it.
Did you 3D print the rackmounts or is there a place to get smallish ones like this?
Thanks! Got it all printed from a friend, fortunately there's plenty STLs out there.
Some people are selling printed mounts for common devices on Etsy but the ones I found were horrendously expensive.
I am currently also looking for a 10β rack. Where did you get this one? It sounds like you are from Germany (at least according to the sticker) and so am I.
Got it in parts from different sources. I've generally been looking for used parts. The rails and screws are from Retourenking, the shelf and the blinds from Kleinanzeigen and the power strips from 25now.
If you're looking for a single source to buy new, check the Assmann Digitus stuff. I think they're available at Amazon.
Very cool rack. Neat to see the M910Q rack mounted. Love those computers.
They're great, super neat small computers and available used for little money.
Do they have rack mount option or are you using third party hardware for that?
The latter, it's all 3D printed rackmounts
The mini rack is pretty decent, but I wish that the size decided was a 12" or so rack, so that more computer hardware could fit without the struggle.
I'm sure more stuff will be made the accommodate this scene though.
Aww it's so cute!
Can you share any details on the JBOD? How are you connecting it to the PC? I'd love something similar for my miniPC server.
