The mini datacenter is “finished”

Finally got the last component I needed to finish the build. Well finished, we all know how that goes.

U12 [ PATCH Panel]

U11 [ SWITCH ] LevelOne GES-2216

U10 [ NODE 1 ] prodesk 400 G6 i3-10100T 8GB

U9 [ NODE 2 ] prodesk 400 G6 i5-10500T 16GB

U8 [ BLANK ] with dual 140mm USB fans behind it, blowing up

U7/6 [ DRIVES ] NautilusForge

U5 [EMPTY/HBA] Blanking plate won't fit

U4 [ ITX BOARD ] BUT board, i5-3470 16GB DDR3

U3 [ BLANK ]

U2 [ EMPTY ]

U1 [ REAR PDU ] with the ITX SFX PSU in the floor

So, for those wondering how I got the drives connected. There's an HBA in the ITX's PCIe slot. As the ITX has 4 SATA ports and I needed 6. So I just wired all of them to the HBA.

The ITX board is running Proxmox for quorate with a trueNAS VM. trueNAS then controls the drives over the board. Currently run from a SATA SSD, but I've got a spare NVMe I'm planning to dump in there as the boot drive.

The SFX PSU, with modular cables runs power to the ITX board (CPU and motherboard) and the drives.

Node 1 is running my infrastructure through Proxmox(DNS, nginx proxy manager, tailscale and my website's test environment). I've also dumped seerr, radarr and homarr on it, but it's hardly used.

I'm planning on hosting a wiki.js here as well.

Node 2, also running Proxmox, handles my services:

qBittorrent, jellyfin, immich.

As of today I'm the proud owner of my own domain. From there I'll host the wiki.js and maybe some other stuff, but my domain came with webhosting(mainly because I didn't want the effort of hosting my own mailserver) so might just use that to host everything else.

What's planned: U8 will get the geeekpi 1U fan unit, because that looks nicer, then that blanking plate can go in U2 with a vent in U1. Other than that, I'm kinda happy with the way it is, until I find something else to add of course.

Questions? Feel free to ask, I'll try to get to them all

Once wiki.js is live I'll post the link here as well
