Alright ladies and gentlemen, I did not think this through when getting a 3-400ish lbs, 42U server rack from Marketplace to put 2 older gen servers, switch, patch panel, etc. into it. I got a great deal so I just ran with it and now live with the consequences lol.
The dilema is this: Im moving to a second story apartment in 2-3 weeks and have to decide, do I drag this 42U server rack out of my apartment, into a truck, and up a flight of stairs to the new home. Or do I sell it, get a 20-24U rack as Im only using 14U right now anyway and work with that. Or third option, sell the 42U, sell the older servers that use alot of power and are noisy, and just settle with a mini 10inch rack or regular desktop I can put Truenas onto.
I really only use them for a handful of apps such as Homebox, Jellyfin and Arr-Suite for me and friends, Sure budget, dockge, jellystat, and a few other lightweight containers/apps.…
