My Own Server ( Devlog #6 )

(Picture of the server 😬, hopefully getting a case soon)
Every day this project just keeps getting bigger. What started as a software project is now growing into a hardware project too. I wanted to make my own server to run my projects locally and create a dedicated machine for development, as my computer could not handle it anymore.

I built this server completely from parts I found through thrift stores, garage sales, and things I was able to get for free. It has been really cool taking old hardware and turning it into something useful.

Features

• 🖥️ Dedicated local server for running projects
• ⚙️ Full-stack development environment
• 🌐 Local hosting for applications and services
• 🔒 Remote access through SSH

Hardware

• Intel Xeon 22-core / 44-thread processor
• 64GB DDR3 ECC RAM
• 1GB DDR3 VRAM GPU
• 1000W Power Supply

Built with

• Ubuntu Server
• OpenSSH
• Python development tools
• Full stack development tools

What I Learned
Setting up this server took much longer than expected. Installing Ubuntu Server, configuring everything, and fixing all the small issues was definitely a challenge, but I learned a lot about hardware, Linux, and server management.

Next Steps
I am currently continuing development on the full stack side of things and getting everything ready to run locally on this server. Once that is finished, I will start working on the AI phase and adding more advanced features.
