Aaron LongchampsTime to catch up on all the housework I didn’t get to last weekend.
Then I’ll be shopping for the homelab. I’m looking for two new servers to run some VMs and all of my kubernetes workloads.
Sheogorath@heatsink I do run 3 of these: https://gitops-docs.s3.shivering-isles.com/hardware/node.html
If I would buy them again, I would spend the extra 80€ to get the i7 models and go for either 64Gi of RAM or 1x32Gi to upgrade later.
@sheogorath That's the right form factor I'm looking for, but the RAM options seem less flexible. As far as their build-to-order configs go, it would almost be easiest to just get some 2x32 GB RAM kits separately and put them in after the fact.
The minimum I'm looking for are two identical servers with 6+ threads, 64 GB RAM, some local storage for a hypervisor OS, and most likely 2.5/5/10 Gbit interfaces. On this, I'll run all of my Kubernetes nodes, some CI/CD server, and a git server of some kind. I also want to test k8s restores/upgrades, which means I'll probably end up using all the RAM across both hosts.
@heatsink Oh yes, their prebuild options don't do 64GiB. I also bought RAM separate as shown on the page.
