Servers servers servers.
I have two servers, only because the server rack I picked up second hand came with one. It’s a single rail height, with space for four 3.5″ drives, 2 nic, dual Xeon 2.4ghz
My primary is 3 high, with 12 or so 2.5″ drive slots, 4 nic, dual Xeon 2.6ghz
This past weekend I moved my external SATA card to the older server, installed Ubuntu 18 server.
I installed 2016 on the primary and set it up for remote access w/ DHCP, DNS, and (eventually) the plan is to load balance the dual lines from the gigabit modem across 2 gigabit inputs on the server. It’s just one for now and I’ll team the interfaces later. I hope to be able to turn off the Comcast firewall and set it to bridge mode.
TBC…
This never panned out, partly because I had to downgrade my modem service and am living with 70MB at the moment.
I still can figure out a web server or something with the better of the two, maybe run some node.js on the backend so I can play around with ideas. I haven’t done nearly enough web and/or coding in a long long time.
