london-b

Primary storage and media server. The workhorse of the fleet.

Overview


Location	London (NW9)
OS	Ubuntu 24.04
Tailscale IP	100.84.65.101
Role	Storage, media serving, Docker services

Hardware

Component	Spec
CPU	AMD Threadripper 3970X (64 threads)
Memory	64 GB
GPU	Nvidia GTX 980
Boot disk	500 GB
Storage pool	~64 TB (ZFS)

This machine is ridiculously overpowered as a media server. It's my old gaming/workstation PC repurposed into server duty. The GPU helps with Plex transcoding but the CPU can handle it fine on its own.

Storage

ZFS pool hdd: 3× RAIDZ1 vdevs, 8 drives total.

Metric	Value
Used	46 TB
Free	18 TB
Total	~64 TB
Usage	72%
Scrub	Weekly (Sundays)

RAIDZ1 tolerates one drive failure per vdev. With this many drives and this much data, ZFS checksumming is essential — silent data corruption on spinning disks is real and you don't want to find out about it years later.
