Been planning to migrate from my Supermicro monolith server for a while and finally finished the migration. Red thing is opnsense on an APU engine, Lenovos run a proxmox cluster, below is a mini PC with attached JBOD running TrueNAS.
Next step is to get another shelf for my Raspi and openDTU.
Does that sticker say “no God, no State, no cable salad” in German ? Because that is peak Lemmy.
Can you share any details on the JBOD? How are you connecting it to the PC? I’d love something similar for my miniPC server.
It’s an Olmaster one that fits a 5,25" bay. It has 4 SATA connectors in the back and a single Molex for power. The SSDs can easily be swapped in or out.
It’s this or something very similar: de.aliexpress.com/i/4001152236337.html?gatewayAda…
What are the SATA cables connected to? Does one of the lenovo tiny PCs have an interface for four SATA connectors?
Shopping aliexpress most are 2.5 drives. I get that they’re lower power but 3.5 drives offer much more storage…
Nice rack! I really like these small form racks.
I’m most impressed by the printed rackmount SFF mounts. Great idea.
Nice rack!
That exact same phrase is used in a very different context in other communities!
Like when you set up 10 pins for someone else to knock down with a ball and it’s pretty symmetric?
Someone tell me what everything does here pls
My guess, from top to bottom:
Almost correct! 1. is just a firewall, the router is not in the rack. I wanted to have this separate from the “family lan”. 6. is a mini PC to which the drives are connected, acting as a NAS.
Computer stuff
I didn’t know there was more than one rack width. How many standard rack widths are there?
I think 19" is still the standard one, 10" is getting more and more popular and there’s some fringe other widths mostly for niche use based on 3D printed parts.
Die sind nicht angeschlossen, die zählen nicht!
Nur weil Kabel den Anschluss verlieren, darf man sie nicht direkt ausschließen!
Lookin pretty slick, I dig it.
Thanks! Got it all printed from a friend, fortunately there’s plenty STLs out there.
Some people are selling printed mounts for common devices on Etsy but the ones I found were horrendously expensive.
I am currently also looking for a 10“ rack. Where did you get this one? It sounds like you are from Germany (at least according to the sticker) and so am I.
Got it in parts from different sources. I’ve generally been looking for used parts. The rails and screws are from Retourenking, the shelf and the blinds from Kleinanzeigen and the power strips from 25now.
If you’re looking for a single source to buy new, check the Assmann Digitus stuff. I think they’re available at Amazon.
Thanks!!
You can buy the rails by themselves if you wanted to make your own. Using finished lumber works very well if you’re handy with tools.
I made my own, but normal size to fit a specific space in my closet.
Aww it’s so cute!
Very cool rack. Neat to see the M910Q rack mounted. Love those computers.
They’re great, super neat small computers and available used for little money.
Do they have rack mount option or are you using third party hardware for that?
The mini rack is pretty decent, but I wish that the size decided was a 12" or so rack, so that more computer hardware could fit without the struggle.
I’m sure more stuff will be made the accommodate this scene though.
Since most rackmounts are 3d printed, everyone with a little knowledge could just add 2" to the files. The rails are width-agnostic. The power strips could be hard to find in 12", but I’m sure printing 2" extenders is possible as well!
I think we have the same desk.
It’s in a small cabinet, there’s no desk in the picture
No shit, the bottom right of my desk has that same outer layer, and placement of hinges as holes for shelves, but I took the door off for ventilation for my PC.
