In this video, I build myself a new home server to use as a dedicated VM host running Proxmox VE based around an ASUS RS100-E10-PI2 server. We’ll take a look at the server in its stock configuration, then add a few upgrades including new NVMe SSDs, a 10 gigabit network card a module to enable…

Nice vid thanks for sharing
I've installed Proxmox on 6 nodes using my Ventoy stick, so it should work just fine
Great video, Cameron. Really enjoyed it! Thanks, man 👊🏻
playback .75 and now i can understand
I really enjoy these second hand finds. This and the Datto appliance I can spot in pride of place in your rack. I’d love an insight into the other machines lower down 👀
How much is your electricity bill?
Thanks for the video. I look forward to the software setup video you mentioned towards the end. Any chance of a link to those adjustable server rails?
A video on Proxmox setup and your tips and tricks on using it would be great. I'd actually thought this was what this one was going to be about rather than hardware 😂 (not that the hardware bit wasn't fun).
Thank you for the video. You put in the radar this type of second-hand server. I really liked the ability to add not only one but 2 NVME, and on top of that, a PCIe card.
I've never seen on of these before
nice)))))))))))
Too expensive
I think your host storage was overkill (based on the workloads you showed so far and you've demo'd in previous videos). Is there a reason you don't just mount your data over iSCSI or NFS?
What chassis is the top 2 server it?
I'm a Locksmith and I swear some of our suppliers send us more plastic than lock parts by weight. Its infuriating getting a few packs of pins, each in their own bag, inside another bag, inside a box with bubble wrap and closed up with plastic tape. I feel your pain with the overkill packaging
You should have looked at a Dell Poweredge R210 II. Way better machine and its about 1/3 the price.
you could easily exopand this to make a multi node cluster also and spinup up vms on your ws when you need even more power or compute with a gpu now and again with pass through – lots of options but qemu can work almost as well – you will want to add more ram but you have a good upgrade path – a neat and clean setup, good rack
That flash module to add management capability reminded me of those basic ~£10 network switches and the difference between their almost equally priced managed counterparts is just a flash chip
The ridiculous packaging of the management controller might be theft prevention. It's a lot harder to slide this into your pocket, than some little SD card sized packaging. And I don't mean theft when it's out for delivery, but at the warehouse.
You might want to look at the /sys/class/hwmon interface, as it is quite likely that you could simple modify the firmware fan curves using that rather than having to be dependent on a userspace script continually running and constantly adjusting the fan pwms
Nice!!
16GB RAM for VM's is a bit on the low end. But its easy to upgrade.
That Xeon has integrated graphics. Might have been upgraded at some point. Most OEMs don’t combine an aspeed chip with a CPU with an iGPU.
I get the difficulties trying to build in a 1U, but something like a 10900T at 35W could probably be passively cooled and perform much better than this Xeon whilst sipping power…interesting video though pal!
Mate, don't worry about filming you build or put in your upgrades being boring. Some of us love that part and it's just pleasing seeing builds coming together. It's a form of zen really. So please, just leave it in. 🙂
I have the same Zalman external hard drive enclosure. Works great – never seen anyone else with one – lol
ASUS desperately trying to make the management controller module look more valuable than it is by using this absurd packaging should be illegal
@camerongray1515 You can still run grafana, node red, etc outside of HA and add them to your HA UI so it pops up like it's running in HA. That way you maintain separation and have UI integration (have your cake and eat it too).
IIRC DRAMless NVME SSD's use system ram as a DRAM if I'm not mistaken. it's not terrible but not ideal either.
Always enjoy these videos 🙂
I use ventoy a lot both at home and work and havent had any issues with proxmox on it, have you tried making sure ventoy is up to date?
Can't find this on Ebay in US is there something similar in the US?
I've been looking into Proxmox VE to replace ESXi, but I'm a bit confused on how to handle updates. I see all the different repos, but the prod-ready ones are subscription locked. How does a hobbyst handle that?
Love netbox, its one of the most useful tools we have put in recently.
Now if i could just find a nice wiki / documentation tool that will take pure markdown from joplin for editing a page. Yes there is wiki.js but i will be retired before 3.0 and the mediawiki migration comes out.
looks like its missing one of the 2 screws that holds down the PCIe card bracket…. What I would do is move the single screw to the other hole to keep the card from pivoting up… Its using the riser to hold it down but the screw will help anchor it a bit more on the other hole
I've done about 30 Proxmox installs and all successful from UEFI and BIOS Ventoy USB sticks and onto both UEFI and BIOS motherboards. Maybe try to update your Ventoy drive.
Good video sir, to make it quiet you could use tome Fan LNA, units. ( Noctua 3 or 4 pin Low Nose Adapters ) thats what i do in the supermicro and asus servers.
I would stick another 2 sticks of DDR4 RAM if that is what it takes as it might crash if you don't as my machine kept crashing till I installed 4x16GB of DDR3 RAM.
