What do you use your Kimsufi box for?

jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

I imagine many of us have an extra Kimsufi box, given the price and general awesomeness. What are some creative ways you use your boxes to make life easier?

For me:

Box #1: Seedbox for Linux ISOs

Box #2; Utility applications for day to day stuff (like Kanboard)

    I use mine for a bunch of things -

    Backup DBs, VMs, and websites automatically and cPanel accounts manually, across 2 KS-2E servers for redundancy.

    Third one for "Linux ISOs".

    Fourth one as a remote desktop and some more "Linux ISOs".

    Held my KS-1 for about a year back then, to mainly act as remote storage and backup target.

    Since I got the KS-4C with its rather powerful processor and the "huge" RAM, I built myself a basic virtualization host using just libvirtd and virsh and love it!
    An excerpt of whats running in those NATed containers on there right know:

    • Plex (using remote storage)
    • Development environment for MHN (Modern Honeypot Network)
    • Munin master
    • GitLab
    • Proxy (caddy, for random things and some services running on containers that are only attached to a local private network)
    • Backup target (partly acting as a intermediary to other cloud storage)

    And there is still so much room left for other things, that I am constantly searching for another excuse to create yet another custom VM. :P

    Gay Fish Sufi Talk?

    I'm skeptical Rumi wrote much if anything about homosexual ichthyes.

  • My KS-4C is unused, I just go it to tease those that failed to get one.

    This raises the logical question of what it is evolving from and what it is evolving towards...

    There is a much better place for your discussion here:

    Yes, that off-topic blabla about non-kimsufi offers went too far.

    I saw this post, and I am thinking about installing this now. Do you have any setting recommendations with this? Or are you just using a default install?

    Kanboard? I seriously just launched their docker image. Do this and you're done:

    docker run -p 0.0.0.0:80:80 --name kb -t kanboard/kanboard

    It's by far my favorite application for tracking my projects and to-do list. It's just so simple and capable, works exactly as you hope something that simple would work.

    I would split it into some VMs if it could have more than 1 ipv4.

    For now I'm using it as owncloud personal storage box.

    You can still split it into VMs, it's just that you may have to NAT some of the traffic. Definitely not as convenient.

    Yeah I know, but I need to have unique IP(v4)s for each of my (virtual) machines for my use case, so not much usable for me.
