Badger's Recommended Stack Rundown¶
A new page for May 2022, here's a high level overview snapshot of PMS as it stands today.
Info
Access the living and breathing repository I use to configure all my infrastructure on GitHub at ironicbadger/infra.
Hardware¶
| Device | Model | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel i5 8500 | iGPU with built-in Quicksync transcoding hardware |
| Motherboard | ASRock Rack E3C246D4U | IPMI + iGPU support. Full write-up here |
| Case | Rosewill RSV-L4500 | Pre-covid this case was often under $100 but at current prices of $200 and up, it's a tough recommendation |
| Memory | Corsair DDR4 64GB - Non ECC | 64GB is enough to run my entire production stack without being tempted to use it as a dev environment too |
| Boot Drive | Samsung 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD | |
| Power Supply | Seasonic PRIME 850 Gold | Electricity makes computer go brrrrrr. 850w is probably overkill for this use case. 5-600w would be adequate. |
| Hard Drives | A mix of drives from 8-14tb | See HDD purchasing methodology for more details |
Software¶
| Type | Product / Version | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Proxmox 7.2 | ZFS support and VM UI is nice to have. |
| Parity | SnapRAID | Increases uptime and fights bit-rot style corruption |
| Drive pooling | mergerfs | Present many disks under one mountpoint |
| Container runtime | docker | Do I need a reason? |
| VM | Home Assistant |
