Name

Internal Server

Description

The HS need to be tidy in his IT, centralized everything

Goal

Provide a server internal to the hackerspace.

Obstacle

Requirements

The services that would be nice to have are listed below.

Maybe find a mini rack to put the switch on it and keep everything clean.

Services available only from inside the HS

• MPD Daemon
• ssh key updater (put the key on a single machine which then upload the key on guest1, guest2)
• OpenLDAP Server for personal identification (wifi and login into guest1 and guest2, wiki, ftp)
• radius server for the wpa
• Sync guest1 and guest2 to be the same and to share all the software installed (sync the key too)
• distcc daemon
• screen session for share coding
• Samba shares
• NFS share

• other ideas : http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Hackerspace_Software

Services available from anywhere

• FTPServer on ssl or ssh
• Git server (gitolite ?)
• IP over DNS server (http://thomer.com/howtos/nstx.html, http://code.kryo.se/iodine/ seems better as it support authentication)
• SSH or openvpn to access the hackerspace for ctf or other event

The internal requirement for the server

• Less than 40 Watt on load
• RAID for fallback
• Easy backup
• Encryption of some directory would be nice to have

Propositions

Gcmalloc can provide simple atx cases and the power supplies are legion around, so I'm not counting them in the price The first try is :

Cheap
	Motherboard
		Intel D525MW, Atom D525 Dual Core, Mini-ITX
		85 CHF
	HDD
		1 * 1 To
			Hitachi green
			50 CHF

	TOTAL
		135 CHF

		Similar to High
	TOTAL
		160+100+120=380 CHF
	without the raid
		160+100+60=320
	without the ssd

On the month of november, A 2 To HDD cost around two time my arm (around 240 CHF). All that is caused by the flood in Thailand. We should wait for the price to calm down a bit Freestorm proposed to give freely 160Go Sata HDD, the resulted prices are as following :

		Intel D525MW, Atom D525 Dual Core, Mini-ITX
