As I rely more on my home lab server, I’m starting to worry more about it getting stolen. If someone breaks into my home, I think the server will be a pretty attractive target.
Do y’all just stick it in a closet? That seems not great for cooling…
One of my neighbors recently got broken into.
Mine is primarily a 4u server, in a rack. That’s screwed to the wall (for added stability).
They’d need a couple guys to unrack it. It’s in the garage I rarely ever lock, behind the cars which are more valuable and easier to steal. Behind the much more valuable tools.
Garage does get warm in the summer and cold enough in the winter the fans do funny things.
Anything important gets replicated to another location as well as backed up to a cloud bucket. So if it got stolen it would suck, but not the end of the world.
