Vangald Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Let's say I want to run my own personal web page form my own server at home. One that only about a dozen people will ever visit at a time. However I want to use as little electricity as possible and I don't want to use one of my current machines on my network. Are than any low voltage embedded solutions on the market I could use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarchyPizza Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 You can cheap dell optiplex's from www.propetyroom.com and run apache off of it. If anything I would buy a bigger harddrive and put all my files(music, vidoes, pics) on there. So then you can FTP to it from anywhere in the world and get your files. you can also format your computer and they will always be there.

Vangald Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well as far as file backup and ftp (I have been using the Hawking HMPS1U print server as an ftp device to flash media storage) solutions I already have those covered. The original idea was to make a very small forum on there that is only accessible to me and a few friends as apposed to joining a larger community. Also I was wanting one just to play with web development in general. Been thinking about trying to make a MUD too. Plus, the smaller the better. I am slowly burying myself in electronics and my personal collections of different sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangald Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Just a thought. Can the Linksys WRT54G be turned into a basic web server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarchyPizza Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 ehh I don't think that router could handle that. I have the same one and it's a POS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangald Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 WRT is the one that supports custom firmware isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 WRT is the one that supports custom firmware isn't it? Yes, but you need some where to store the files. Also, never run a proper web server on the same device the connects every thing else to the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangald Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Anyone know if this place is legit? http://www.ewayco.com/ Some how I can't help but doubt it with the prices they have there. Alot of those seem perfect for what I would want though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
