| Yes, considering the importance of the power draw, I wondered if ARM servers were used. |
| |
| ▲ | ca508 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | oh yes we want to; I even priced a couple out. Most of the SKUs I found were pretty old, and we couldn't find anything compelling to risk deploying at the scale we wanted.
It's on the wishlist, and if the right hardware comes along; we'll rack it up even as a bet. We maintain Nixpacks (https://nixpacks.com/docs/getting-started), so for most of our users we could rebuild most their apps for ARM seamlessly - infact we mostly develop our build systems on ARM (because macbooks). One day. | | |

| ▲ | justjake 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not ATM. We use it in a lot of our stack, so we will likely pull it in in the future | | |
| ▲ | VTimofeenko an hour ago | parent [-] | | Got it. Especially interested to see how you set up PXE. Seen a few materials out there but never got around to doing it in my lab. Looking forward to more blogposts! |

| Looks like Supermicro. |

| ▲ | aetherspawn 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Where do you buy this, direct from Supermicro? Asking as a Dell customer… our servers are $$$ | | |
| ▲ | ca508 35 minutes ago | parent [-] | | We have a distributor we work with - just because it makes import/export a lot easier. But we get to interface directly with Supermicro for the technical/design stuff, and they're super awesome. If you're looking in the US, reach out to their eStore - really great fuss-free turnaround and all direct. |
