Hi,
Brexit and Covid-19 have wreaked havoc on my business plans with Luca in
Italy and I'm reconsidering if I should ship six servers that I've built
to Italy or host them here in Scotland?
The servers are Dual 8-core (16 thread) Opteron 6380 + 128GiB RAM, OS on
a 500GB SSD RAID1 and 4@8TB on an LSI9211-4i with an LSI9211-8i to allow
for expansion of another 8@SATA3 disks.
I discussed this briefly with Iain and Tom, but I would welcome any
ideas or suggestions: Plan 1 is to host them in my garage, which I've
done before - I've just contacted Converged to see if they can provide
FTTP here, but I'm not optimistic (currently I'm on PlusNet FTTC/VDSL).
Is it a realistic proposition for me to stike a deal with the Hackspace,
where, for example, 57North hosts my servers in the Space in return for
me providing login accounts and free VM's to 57North members?
I talked to Tom about running OpenStack on these servers as a Hackspace
project, but just now it runs Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 LTS and LizardFS SDS.
Just asking ;-)
Tony.
