What's on your Server/VPS/Dedi

[JonRushton]

Hey all,

Just curious what kind of services you all run on your internet/cloud based servers?

Specifically, I'm trying to fill the remaining resources of a VPS I picked up cheap. It's a 4 vCore, 4gb RAM, 100gb SSD VPS for £10.50ppm, which is currently running a small website, a teamspeak 3 server and a minecraft server for a couple of people tops.

So I'm mainly curious what kind of services you are running on your cloud based servers, but also interested to see what kind of services you run on local/home based servers too.

For my home setup, I have an AMD 6-core 16gb ram, 9TB storage (using StableBit DrivePool) running server 2012, running a few Virtualbox VMs for media serving around the house to XBMC (refuse to call it Kodi for a while!) and also serving my Steam library using Steam Streaming to the same XBMC boxes.

The keyboard / touchpad is an all in one wireless USB device, i had to buy a cheap USB pci-e card which i just passed the entire thing to the VM. I'm on esxi 5.5, although not the latest patch level

I was talking to a friend a few weeks ago, just pondering ideas regarding passing hardware through to esxi, and came up with a master plan to have my home cinema client & server, and a gaming rig running steam os (once it's released properly) on a single high spec machine.

Would it allow multiple gfx cards passing a different one to each VM? if so, I can see a long term project on the horizon

I literally have Minecraft, Teamspeak and a basic website running, not much, but runs great. I'm always messing with linux to self-teach.

Not sure i'd want my media in the cloud, that is still on my home server (bt infinity, so works a treat)

Scotty, make sure you enable firewall, ufw is the easiest method if you're on Debian / Ubuntu based. Make sure you allow port 22 before you enable though
