Raw Blame History

London

This location is my primary one. It's hosted at my address in northwest London in a rack cabinet in my bedroom (doubles as a white noise machine for falling asleep).

It consists of three servers — A, B, and C. A and B are repurposed personal gaming rigs. London-C is currently offline pending a reinstall.

Networking

Networking is fairly overkill, I have to admit. I'm using a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Special Edition as my router, which gives me excellent routing performance compared to a normal ISP-provided router.

My ISP (BT) charges around £90 for a 1 Gbit/300 Mbit connection.

My flat is equipped with Cat 5 cabling in the walls, accessible via a patch panel in the utility closet. All wall cables connect to a Ubiquiti switch mounted in that closet.

I've got a refurbished tablet stuck to the side of my fridge in the living room showing various Grafana dashboards — a much nicer way to check on things than loading up a browser.

Hardware Specs

london-a

Component	Value
CPU	Intel i7 4790K
vCPUs	8
Memory	32 GB
OS	FreeBSD
Boot Storage	1 TB

london-a runs the monitoring stack — Prometheus and Grafana — on FreeBSD. The BSD base keeps it lean and stable for a machine that mostly just scrapes metrics and serves dashboards.

london-b

Component	Value
CPU	Threadripper 3970X
vCPUs	64
Memory	64 GB
GPU	Nvidia GTX 980
OS	Ubuntu
Boot Storage	500 GB
ZFS Pool	87 TB raw (3× RAIDZ1, 4 disks each)

london-b is the workhorse. It runs Plex Media Server natively, plus a stack of Docker services: the *arr suite, Nextcloud AIO, Navidrome, Jellyseer, slskd, and several Prometheus exporters.

Storage is a ZFS pool named hdd — three RAIDZ1 vdevs of four disks each (12 disks total), giving roughly 62 TB usable. Each vdev can tolerate one disk failure. Weekly scrubs run on Sundays.

london-c

Component	Value
CPU	ARM Cortex-A72
vCPUs	4
Memory	8 GB
OS	— (pending reinstall)
Boot Storage	128 GB

Currently offline. Pending OS reinstall.
