Had literally hundreds of those small VMs (reached about 370 total VMs IIRC, but managed to cut through them to about 240, we only had bigger sized VMs than this in the low 10s). Normal VM specs for testing? 2 core + 2 / 4GB of RAM. We had about 20 users per instance or so, those were more like a pre-UAT environment. Our VM specs? 4 core + 16 / 32GB of RAM for the ones running the hoggiest of the web servers. Web development isn’t very resource intensive, I used to manage an infrastructure for web development on Tomcat, Wildfly (and old JBoss), WebLogic and at some point we almost introduced Payara (a fork of Glassfish). I think your old desktop should still be doing just fine, just upgrade to 16GB DDR3. Go with any AMD GPU that has encoding capabilities, so RX 500 series, or RX 6600+. If you plan on running Jellyfin, it supports Intel QuickSync (QSV), AMD AMF and nVidia NVENC, all through VA-API.Īs noted in the hwacc page, quicksync uses a forked version of va-api, so that might give you some headaches. Intel GPUs are hot for their QuickSync encoding, not sure of the availability where you live, but I’d say go with AMD. Might want to consider a VM and do a GPU passthrough. I am pretty comfortable with using a server headless over SSH so any Video card I would add would only be for remote encoding.Īny suggestions or things to look out for would be appreciated. Might make a slower server with spinning drives as a backup Hypervisor or a VM for testing or running multiple applications Remote video encoding / file conversion FFMPEG? Webserver for test websites and developmentįeatures I would like but have not looked into enough yet My usage requirements would be as followsĭata redundancy. Was hoping to use m.2 SSD’s with a pcie riser adapter but I have no experience with these. I am looking at a used HP Z440 with a E5-2683 and 64GB of RAM
I am running Ubuntu server with nextcloud. My current server is a old desktop with an i5, 8GB of RAM an 128GB ssd boot drive and a 2TB Spinning hard drive.
It has been a few years since I have researched into building a server I was hoping to get some input as to any incompatibility there may be or any better suggestions. I am looking to upgrade my homeserver and I am seeing used Xeon workstations on ebay for pretty cheap.
