As other said. If you want to see if you can. Yes fun go for it.

Don’t use it for anything important. And know that your ISP will very likely have that port blocked already. And if you call them to ask them to unblock it they are unlikely to be willing to.

This is to prevent scammers and spammers.

Also. Know that even if you were able to. Getting other mail servers to not instantly junk your mail is actually quite difficult or impossible. So your emails would always land in spam, be outright blocked, or be in junk.

I just buy refurbished spinners that are enterprise.

Exos. Ultrastars usually. I’ve had not problems and they are cheap as chips.

My server runs a LOT of things. Including numerous crypto nodes. So it is not a total loss.

Plus I do love all the room for activities and use it constantly for making videos on YouTube.

I forgot there is also a gtx 1650 in there as well.

But honestly. I’m fairly sure the majority of the power draw is the 4 CPU’s.

96 cores and 192 threads on older architectures was a bit of a power suck. If I had it all to do over again I would for sure have gotten an epyc chip instead.

I have an r930.

With 4x e7-8890 v4’s. 9ssd’s 2x SAS drives 4x m.2 drives on a pcie card 512gb of ram across 32 ram sticks

Pulls about 400w like all the time even at idle.

 

As the title suggests. I have a dell R930. 4x Intel Xeon 8890 v4’s 512 gb ram

9x 2tb SSD’s 2x SAS spinners in raid 1 for the OS 4x nvme 2tb in asus pcie card

4x 1100 watt redundant psu’s

Nvidia 1650 on pcie

Additional SAS controller and SAS expander

Rack mount slides in the garage. Been running for a bit over a year. Everything works fine.

Maybe 16 VM’s running all the time.

Everything has been running fine for months.

The last two days it has randomly powered down 3 times.

In Idrac - literally nothing of interest. Temps are fine. No unusual logs. Says system shutdown normally.

In proxmox - it says “power button pressed” And everything shutdown properly.

But no one pressed the button. I am 100% sure no one pressed it. I put something over the button to make sure of that.

Any ideas where to even start? I know…update bios update firmware etc. but something seems a bit off with this.

No changes have been made to bios or firmware in a long time. And I can’t really afford to randomly have this server just deciding to shutdown.

Made an entire video about how to do this with your pihole and unbound.
