Description

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

Service currently running on the server

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

  • DONE MPD Daemon
  • WILL NEVER BE DONE !!!! ssh key updater (put the key on a single machine which then upload the key on guest1, guest2)
  • WAITING FOR ENTRY Ldap 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)
  • WAITING FOR LDAP, AVAILABLE ON GUEST1 screen session for share coding
  • ONGOING Samba shares
  • DONE NFS share
  • WILL NEVER BE DONE !!!! A pulse server to output the sound of Guest1 and Guest2 on the big speaker (easy conference tool, easy way to look at vids :))

Services available from anywhere

  • DONE FTPServer on ssl or ssh
  • DONE Git server (gitolite)
  • WAITING ON LDAP IP over DNS server (http://thomer.com/howtos/nstx.html, http://code.kryo.se/iodine/ seems better as it support authentication)
  • WAITING ON LDAP SSH or openvpn to access the hackerspace for ctf or other event
  • DONE virtualisation for testing stuff
  • MAYBE ONE DAY bug tracker
  • DONE Etherpad/Gobby (live collaboration)
  • ChaosVPN

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
  • at least 8 Go of ram

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

Middle 
	Motherboard
		Jetway JNC9C-550
                http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/ipcboard_view.asp?productid=781&proname=NC9C-550-LF
	        109£
	HDD
		Similar to High
	TOTAL
		160+100+120=380 CHF
	without the raid
		160+100+60=320
	without the ssd 
		160+60=220
		

High
	Motherboard 
		JNF81-T56N
		http://www.mini-itx.com/store/~JNF81-T56N 
		139£
	HDD
		40 Gb ssd
			http://digitec.ch/ProdukteAuswahl2.aspx?knr=2075
			100 CHF
		2 * 2To Hard drive
			60 CHF per piece  120 for both

	TOTAL
		160+100+120=380 CHF
	without the raid
		160+100+60=320
	without the ssd 
		160+60=220

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 two 160Go Sata HDD. so: 

Cheap
	Motherboard
		Intel D525MW, Atom D525 Dual Core, Mini-ITX
		85 CHF
	HDD
	TOTAL
		85 CHF

Middle 
	Motherboard
		Jetway JNC9C-550
                http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/ipcboard_view.asp?productid=781&proname=NC9C-550-LF
			109£
	TOTAL
		160+100=260 CHF
	without the raid
		160+100=260
	without the ssd 
		160=160
		

High
	Motherboard 
		JNF81-T56N
		http://www.mini-itx.com/store/~JNF81-T56N 
		139£
	HDD
		40 Gb ssd
			http://digitec.ch/ProdukteAuswahl2.aspx?knr=2075
			100 CHF

	TOTAL
		160+100=260CHF

We can then easily go to the JNF81-T56N motherboard. the resulted prices are as following:

  • JNF81-T56N 139GBP + 40GBP livraison --> 257.457 CHF
  • TVA + douane --> 29.60 CHF
  • Corsair ValueSelect 4GB SO-DIMM, DDR3-1333, CL9 --> 24 CHF
  • TOTAL 311.60 CHF

Received Money:

  • speredenn : 20 CHF
  • FreeStorm : 100 CHF
  • Gcmalloc  : 124 CHF

We need 67.60 CHF to end this project.

Schedule

The goal is to have it before the beginning of january 2012

  • 09 november 2011 : we made some benchmark on a atom N270, with heavy load on an apache server, sshd daemon, mpd and vsftp. Everything is working flawlessly :) so we can go for the dual core atom. The ftp connexion were around 15 MByte per connexion. We need at least 8 Go of ram for that.
  • 01 december 2011 : The motherboard JNF81-T56N was ordered,should be there 6 days later.
  • 02 december 2011 : The motherboard JNF81-T56N is out of stock, need to wait
  • 13 December 2011 : The server is up and running. Waiting for it to be network configured and to filter the services.
  • 04 January 2012 : The server is up and running, multiple services will follow in their own project
  • 20 January 2012 : The server is racked
