    I’m pretty interested in the micro collocation.

    Would you be willing to install one of these along with an NVME SSD in the £5 per month category?

    http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-5-32GB.html

    Also I’m based in the UK so it would be pretty pointless to ship one to here configure it and ship it out to the US, if I ordered one directly to you could you get Debian installed etc?

    Thanks in advance!

    With the external drive it would make it bigger than a pi, so it would probably be the size of a nuc at that point. As the order form says, you'd have to select micro size at that point for the space usage. Guess it depends on final size, if you can find a hat to Mount older style m2 with that keeps it the pi size then yeah, but then you have wattage usage. All of that is on the order form, check it out.

    We can install, yes, but we'd have to charge remote hands for the install part. $5 a month pi means no wiggle room, we plug it in, and walk away 😁

    The orange Pi has an NVME slot so no need for a hat or external enclosure.

    In The Power Consumption Benchmark, The Orange Pi 5 Consumed 3.3 Watts At Idle And 7.3 Watts At Full Load.

    without the NVME drive the power consumption is 7.3w at full load (which it likely never would be) the NVME drive I’m looking at has a maximum power consumption of 2.8w.

    This obviously isn’t taking into account the inefficiency of the power supply although this is calculated running synthetic workloads.

    Based off this I think it would fit in the 10w price bracket.

    If you’re happy with this I would like to place the order.

    @natvps_uk can find some r/SlaveLabour to do the install, paying in MicroNode credits 😉

    I can just preconfigure a MicroSD card and ship it over, seems counter productive shipping something from China to the UK to then ship it to the states on the SBC though.

    Standard NEMA 5-15R, so yes, you'll need to provide regular plug. Now.....I've toyed with the idea of a USB hub for pi's, save me some space and wattage in conversion. But, I have yet to find one network controllable I can monitor and switch on/off like I can a pdu. If someone knows of a PDU USB hub net accessible I'm all ears.

    We used to host PIs in a DC a few years back, we used 20 port hubs to power them and got around the rebooting using the reset pins on the pis.

    Basically we had a single PI4 with a gpio expander to act as the controller. Each pi was assigned a number which matched the pin it was connected to on the controller pi. The controller pi ran a flask app where the pin could be pulled high or low to reboot the pi via an API which integrated with our panel at the time.

    That would be a good idea for rented PiS, but to do this for Colo pis I see being a problem 🤔

    For our hosted PiS we are launching soon they will be poe and we will control reboots via SNMP on our controller system.

    There are PoE to USB adapters/power supplys. The one built by Unifi works fine with a Pi 3, don't know about the Pi 4.
    Then you would just have to toggle the switch port.

  • @jfreak53 - sorry to derail what seems to be an otherwise interesting discussion on the Pi's.

    I had a few questions on your storage offering:

    1. raidz2 - could you share a few details on the underlying setup (vdevs, caching if any etc.)
    2. possible to allow for user driven snapshots (maybe some hourly + daily)? Any likelihood that the user can take snapshots themselves on demand (so delegated permissions)?
    3. borgbackup availability? Alternatively, can one install a binary (I assume it's an x86_64 setup) and execute remotely?
    4. possible to get started with a 500GB setup instead of the 1TB one? It'll allow testing things out before "growing" into 1TB (or more).

    Thanks.

    Yeah, thats actually what we're going to do, seemed the easiest to do and our system can control the ports automatically via SNMP.

    @nullnothere here are some answers

    1. Not quite sure what other details you would need, we do vdevs based on sizes we need, try to keep them smaller if possible for less possibility of failure on resilvering. We do small level caching in case of the server just going doing, but if they are larger individual files being written they'll not be cached. This is backup space, not storage arrays for slabs.
    2. On demand, not yet, soon. But yes you can customize, just open a ticket.
    3. Open a ticket, usually yes, but need to check on each before and check security of it before we allow it.
    4. Sorry, no, 1TB is minimum, our price is built on it. Its only $4, its like a cheap vps.

    For any providers out there interested in full-rack, we have just massively reduced our full-rack colo pricing, no setup fees anymore, and it now includes 2G unmetered fiber with base pricing!

    42U Full-Cabinet Colo - $600 /month/starting free setup with 12+ month contract Month-to-month no-contract now available!!

    • Included 2G Fiber - Upgrades 3G, 10G, 40G, 100G Speeds (Unmetered)
    • 20A power (Up to 30A!) 90% usage!
      No other provider gives this much power usage per drop! Even with our bill per kWh we are cheaper than our competitors at full-throttle!

      • 20Ax120v 2160w usage
      • 20Ax240v 4320w usage
      • 30Ax240v 6480w usage
      • 30Ax240v Three Phase 11,223w usage!
    • Free Fiber Cross-Connect

    • Direct Fiber into rack

    Direct buy Caged space coming soon!! Gonna try to have a basic cage space pricing plan up by end of the week, granted with caged space its hard to make cookie cutter, but that's my goal for a basic starting cage space.
