#serverrack — Public Fediverse posts

While I'm posting obscure hardware woes in a time when buying hardware sucks, I need to get a server rack for my homelab. In general I know folks tend to hate wall mounted because it can hinder back access, but I don't have many options as space is limited.

Looking at https://tripplite.eaton.com/smartrack-12u-low-profile-switch-depth-wall-mount-rack-enclosure-cabinet~SRW12U. I'm hoping to buy once, cry once and get a rack that'll last a while. Currently running 12 disks in a tower and looking to move to a netapp ds4246.

The new server rack is almost alive! 🔋

It features multiple Raspberry Pis running Podman containers, a dedicated backup server, and plenty of storage — basically a self-hosted powerhouse. 🗂️

The custom PC frame at the bottom started as an OpenFrame case and now fits perfectly in the shallow rack. 🖥️

Just a few parts left… can’t wait to see it fully operational. ⚙️

Do you run your own server setup? 🪄

Ah yes, because who hasn't looked at a server rack and thought, 🥬 "Perfect for lettuce!"? When you're so done with tech that turning to farming in a 42U cabinet makes sense, it's time to question life's choices. 🤔 Just imagine the networking possibilities... of irrigation! 🚿

How janked would you say is welding a metal bracket to the case instead of trying to source the correct rails for server hardware?

Asking for a friend of course. No server cases or brackets have been harmed (yet).

Thinking about setting up a KVM. I'm sick of rearranging my rack everytime I need to access a server...

Any KVM switch recomendations? And has anyone tried #pikvm

After completing most of my second #10inchrack which was going to house my #RaspberryPi #Kubernetes cluster I've decided to go a different route. I'm building a 1U unit to house the Raspberry Pi's, so I'll have to figure out what to do with this little guy :nkoThink:

Project #minirack is done :)
The goal was to have a nice "living room capable" 10" rack to hold my #homeasssitant box with a touch display for smart home control, a network switch and a UPS.
And no it is not living in the livingroom now, nor was it planned ;) I could have moved the network wiring to the back/inside, but in the end it needed a little nerd factor.

Mostly made from laser cut plywood in #kumiko pattern that I spray painted black, and some 3D printed parts. All self designed/built except for the metal rails in the corners.
And did I mention it's ALL powered by USB-C PD internally? 😍

Always a bunch of effort making changes to this rack but it's operational again now.

I removed the F5 BIG-IP and put an actual shelf in there now.

I still can't decommission the QNAP TS-453A because I now need to RMA the QNAP TS-464U because Bay 3 has a dead MOSFET. So much for the HDD RMA...

Anyway, this is my last change before MFF!

I decided to go with another rack in my home but this time much smaller!

Just ran the last power cable to my PDU!
