I just published some more details here: dsalvagni.com/b/an-overvie...

Details: https://dsalvagni.com/b/an-overview-of-my-10-inch-rack-server-setup/

As requested, I published a blog post with some hardware details about my #homelab (jerry-rigged) rack build: dsalvagni.com/b/an-overvie...

#unraid #plex #selfhosted

As it it still not clear what will happen to the .io #TLD 🇮🇴 (probably nothing), I think I will be migrating my personal website pre-emptively to .com, avoiding potential issues or further unwarranted price hikes

So, for connecting the drives to the PC I am using a PCI-E SATA adapter with 5 ports which fits in the M.2 slot (in picture).
For powering the drives, you can look up “PicoPSU” which is the smallest available ATX PSU.

I plan to publish a blog post soon on my site detailing the whole rack setup.

I am using a PicoPSU (in a custom 3d printed rack mount)

I can hear the drives way way less than when they were just thrown in my rack, I guess the neoprene strip I attached under the stack feets also helps.

I just realized that every Dell Optiplex MFF I owned encountered a #dremel at some point...
#homelab #unraid

It might stay, but as it is not guaranteed sadly, I think I will soon migrate towards a .dev or .com TLD

This is actually one of the best #aws announcements so far and it’s something I would have used multiple times already: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Cool! For me it’s only 40% ortholinears at the moment, still considering splits :)

With Unraid a file can be found fully on a single disk, so if you watch a movie the other disks can sleep. I run it on a Dell Optiplex MFF 7080 and the idle power consumption of the whole rack is ~20W.

Had to do some modifications to fit extra drives though: bsky.app/profile/qwak...

I recently ordered a 15$ soldering hot plate for this kind of stuff, still have to receive it though

I created a minimal stacking system for HDDs and SSDs: makerworld.com/en/models/81...

the Dell Optiplex has an M.2 to 5x SATA adapter, so I had to cut open the case for the connectors, I plan to finish a blog post soon detailing the build in more detail

roughly from top to bottom:

- Power Meter, 12v DC PSU
- 12v power distribution, 5v DC step-down (custom)
- ESP32 for monitoring stuff, PicoPSU for powering drives (custom)
- TP-Link Switch
- Patch Panel
- Dell Optiplex MFF 7080
- RPi bundled with SSD for HomeAssistant
- HDDs and SSDs for Unraid

There is still some wonky stuff, but I just finished some updates to my main #homelab / #unraid setup in a 10" rack.

doing the #promosky thing, here are some of my interests:

. programming
. electronics
. cloud
. iot / embedded
. pcb design
. homelab
. keebs
. 3d printing
. ui/ux design
. diy
. gardening / bonsai
. pixel art
. sim racing

Damn those full-color PCBs, that’s a new one for me!

That’s a great idea, will do!
