Ideas and planning for an old-style home server
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2024 7:53 pm
So I finally bought a tiny IBM SurePOS 300 after ogling it for months.
It's a little Celeron system with up to 2GB of RAM. I'm planning on running either Debian or OpenSUSE on it.
Tips, ideas and thoughts are welcome!
What would you run on it?

- Services I'm going to run on it are..
Web server with landing-page containing info and links to the respective services
Monitorix
SSH server
Tmux session host
FTP server
ZNC IRC bouncer
pihole DNS sinkhole
- Some loose ideas worth looking more into are..
External serial-attached character LCD, IE. Matrix Orbital, Crystalfontz etc. for system info.
UPS monitoring (This will likely get implemented if I find it easily doable, as it's very much a nice-to-have.
Seedbox
1-wire sensor network. This is a mostly dead thing no one is doing anymore, so the software solutions are kinda trash.
Internet radio receiver (IE. moc player playing radio streams and farting them out of the onboard sound card)
