I'm currently running a temporary solution, because my old system said goodbye. I have new parts here, but I didn't have the time to assemble them yet. I'm running a Ryzen 5 2600 with 16 GB RAM, 1TB HDD space and 128GB cache in two old cases. The setup is scuffed, but it works until I get to build the new rig. Specs:
That's not bad! Good specs, and it works in a pinch for sure.
What are you planning for your new build?
More storage space and cache. I will be upgrading from 2x1TB to 4x4TB. (At least that is the current plan) Sadly this means that I have to completely rebuild my rig since the current rig is an old prebuild, which only provides 1 HDD slot.
Ah, I know those struggles with not being able to fit all the drives you want. But, bright side, new hardware!
That's true.
I'm looking forward to it. It will be nice to finally move my stuff from the server of a m8. (and maybe start my own Lemmy instance)
Lemmy has been fun to run, and once the docker install docs get sorted out it shouldn't be too bad to get set up either.
yeah, though I have a weird network. I have to route the traffic through a VPN n' stuff. It'll be interesting that's for sure.
Oh, from a VPS or something? Is your exit IP NAT'd?
Yes. I only have a IPv6 endpoint at home. I share my IPv4 endpoint with the neighborhood. I have a endpoint in a Kubernetes cluster of a friend and one in a VPS. I am using the Kubernetes endpoint currently, but I have to get the VPS working sometime. I am still quite the beginner >.>
I have a bit of experience setting up VPSes for that using wireguard. Feel free to message me if you need help setting it up!
will do I need some help :)
