@Calin Do you use UPS ? How are your network equipment ?

He has a bicycle attached and will cycle himself in case of a power failure.

Like that?

When @FlorinMarian sees this he will expand because there isn't room for this in his mom's broom closet datacenter.

Pictures will be posted on WHT during the 3-week installation.

Ok, since we are undergoing a ton of upgrades in our DC, and the setup now actually looks like porn from my point of view, her it is:

Well it will look better, we contracted the whole rack, waiting for the upper customer to move out, he is a friend of ours, has 6 servers, I called him last week and told him: bro, you are in my rack, move out

We will rearrange the HP servers that are customer colo down, and fill it with 12 bay dell's for storage, then it will look sexy

OVH Cloud datacenter brings back really warm memories of Strasbourg!

The time OVH became a true "Cloud Company".

I just love those pics

I would actually rather trust the RO basement providers than what OVH did there.

I am afraid of fires myself and I only have 1 computer in the basement. Because there's a paper archive above it.

Every time I touch it something breaks, like a millennia old relic.

Looking at those pictures again, it was a disaster waiting to happen, ah man. It was a question of when rather of if.

@davide

I have a perfect Datacenter setup at a GOV basement here we redid last year.

All in the Archive as you say......

It took us 3 months to migrate all from "tower pc servers that were 10 years old to new ones "

That's what I feel like is going on whenever I use Docker.

yeah... my router is 100 mbit, the switch is 1gig
want a 10gb switch so my nas is bit faster, but not for now
germany aint cheap and i live in a bad (but cheap!) flat
poland is same with 500/1000mbit everywhere left and right

oh forgot to say, send internet my way thanks

host_c

What @Calin might not know, is that 10G is over RJ45 and over PPPOE with dynamic IP and a ton of nat on it.

10G is in RDS-RCS network, outside it is 1G. It is available in RO in a few cities beside the capital, and in some zones only.

A home does not need more than 300 MBPS with burst to 500 MBPS on a normal basis.

1. I am in the same position as you
2. I use 2x 5G router since the private dorm I live in is old and only supports DSL (abysmal speed). Due to it‘s location in a cultural protected zone → 0 chance of fiber being laid out.
3. 10G RJ-45 Cards can be bought on aliexpress or eBay for about 15€ (with X540-T2 chipset, gets hot and consumes loads of energy lol).
4. 10G SFP+ probably the better solution. Switches for personal use are dirt cheap right now:
5. Aliexpress has 4x2.5G + 2x10G SFP+ managed switches for under 60€ (I have 2x and they work excellent)

Maybe these might help increasing your homelab speed
(If you are interested, you can pm me, I can tell you how to get 5€ sim-cards at Vodafone/O2 with unlimited bandwidth, it’s quite tricky though as they both come with restrictions)
