Re: [GLLUG] Server in London
Hello, James, the data is private. The server should only be accessible to me via VPN and SSH. There should be no public access. The internet connection should be provided via ethernet cable; there should be no wireless capability. My core data (authored by myself) is in databases and text files and less than 100 GB. Then there are copyrighted text and media files which I use perfectly legally but which I have no right (and no wish) to make available to anyone else. All in all I'll use an SSD of about 500 GB for the Debian system and the data. Just to make sure: The server will contain no adult or violent material and obviously no illegal material. The data will be kept up to date using downloads or synchronisation (rsync, unison) about once a day. The times could be open to negotiation. Any other data transfers would be quite small. I plan to use a slow CPU and no HDD (only SSD) so I can do without any mechanical parts like HDDs and fans.

Some idea as to how busy it might be? If I understand it correctly, you have some data that you wish to access when not at home. Your home internet is slow and un-reliable, so you would like to put is somewhere that has more reliable internet links. Is the data private or public for everyone to view?

Re: [GLLUG] Server in London
Hello, David, Thanks for your quick reply. My internet connection is slow and unreliable, and my power supply has (on rare occasions) failed, too. Part of the server would be devoted to database replication. I don't want to work with any cloud systems offered by big companies. And, in a pinch I could ask for the server to be handed to me.

[snip] And to add to Dawid's question - why does it need to be a physical server? Without knowing more about what you're trying to achieve it's hard to make a recommendation, but have you looked at something like Bitfolk? https://bitfolk.com/ or just leave your server at home and connect to it from London.

Re: [GLLUG] Server in London
Hello Axel, Sorry but obvious question is why do you care about physical location of your server if you won't require physical access to it?
