    But not simple enough for you to explain?

    Not really.

    So it's not really simple then.

    If you want the platform written, we can write it for you. We charge $225/hr, minimum $5000 deposit to start work. If you want advice, well @Nekki handles that

    Sorry, such expertise and intelligence is out of scope for my client. I'd rather go back and eat my popcorn.

    See, I knew that unlimited hosting plans weren't a scam. Finally the truth is revealed by an insider.

    This is more crowdsourcing than outsourcing. Maybe we can each host each others' sites in our basements and give this guy some $ for the privilege.

    I have a beefy server in my basement... the only problem is that I only pay for 1 Mbps upload :D

    You'll pretty much have to dig into Openstack, go crazy understanding it, then give up and finally hire a team with hands-on Openstack implementation experience.

    Disclaimer : This is what I keep hearing. I have no experience with Openstack.

    This might not be your experience if you dive in today.

    I got 1Mb up and 20Mb down xD

    Got 6 servers running and well yeah offsite backups are fun

    To save power, I suppose we could generate some nice power from water and put servers in the...

    You aren't far off one of the things I've done. I own an allotment (like a garden else where for farming related stuff)

    One issue I have is watering it sometimes I can't make it down so I have a raspberry pi hooked up to a car battery which has a solar charger and a water turbine attached to the mains water pipe. On days over 20 degrees (pulled from weather forecast) it switches water on for 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at lunch and night. I can override it as its connected to 3G network and I can force it to water or not for the day. Quite a nifty idea and only took 3 days to put it in

    Ah, cool. Unfortunately RPis are still too expensive here. Looking to self-hosting some servers at home to take advantage of my home connection and cut down on my server bills, though.

    Raspberry Pi Zero £4? If you need one shoot me a PM and if you pay for postage I'll send you an original model B I have laying about.

    The only time I see 3am is when the blackberry goes off because we're under DDoS or some helmet on the other side of the world just did something silly and exploded a website. No time for thinking of fun projects to do with a Raspberry Pi, or indeed drinking milk.

    Pi Zero seems a bit too weak for what I want to run at home - I'll see about the model B though! Thanks for the offer.

    Intending to run:

    • TCP/UDP load balancer (router GUI is shit and takes forever to load)

    • Offsite backups (into a thumbdrive or HDD)

    • Time Machine backups (I know there's a guide to do it)

    • Tinc

    • LookingGlass (within home network, for doing accurate traceroutes and MTRs)

    • Perhaps a Syncthing relay, since bandwidth is unlimited

    Shitty atom netbook + Pi should do it, or a single laptop

    I have a VyOS setup on the netbook (No tinc support though, you can use pfSense for that) + backup server on Pi. For the backup server, OpenMediaVault provides a boatload of features and runs quire fast, even on the Pi. Not sure about running it on other Pi versions, it was run originally on the Pi 2.

    Side Note: Setup may not be for everyone as I had power usage in mind when deciding what to keep on 24/7. My city charges electricity at TOU prices, and the prices are pathetic and raise each year for no reason -_-

    Not gonna get any power sucking Atoms into my house, unfortunately. It's either an E3 server (gotta find the money to import it?) or Raspberry Pi(s).

    E3 means I would be moving half my services back home, to make the power fees worth.

    RPi(s) means low consumption of power, and power bills that don't cost a bomb.

    And yes, it's ancient, but it is powerful enough to be a router. It has one interface, which limits a bit what I can do with QoS, but otherwise works just fine with VyOS and pfSense

    Everyone has that shitty netbook. You can pick them up for about £50 in the UK second-hand now and they're spot-on for use as home servers or a nice portable Linux device.

    Thin clients you can pull for £20-30. Only advantages of netbook is built in screen etc and battery backup

    Those are good advantages to have for a portable device, some would say essential.

    Agreed but as a home server only battery backup is the advantage. Which is the main thing annoying me about upgrading mine.
