#update 6-25-2018



Temporarily closing registration as server storage limits have been hit faster than I expected.



Will be working on solutions to duplicate data and will be adding more storage.



Once this is completed, registration will be re-opened.

Hi!



I am hosting a custom server that I have been letting friends use who need a beefier rig for development projects. Server has matured to the point that I am willing to now allow other developers to apply for an account.



I created this initially as a way to give back to developers working hard on the LG V20 but it has since grown into something more.



Users will have 24/7 access to the machine via RDP, SCP, SSH currently.



New services are being added and expanded each month.



Users can have webspace for sites, nextcloud storage space, may request virtual machines for various projects, etc. etc.



Eventually there will be proxies and vpns setup and allowed and we also take suggestions for new functionality.



The server:



- Ubuntu 18.04 Server LTS w/ live patching

- Dual Intel Xeon X5680 CPUs @ 3.33ghz/12mb L3/6.4QPI for a total of 12 cores and 24 threads

- 40GB of DDR3-1333 RAM (board maxes at 192GB and that is my eventual goal)

- 240GB PCIe SSD scratch disk using F2FS for temporary storage which is good for about 700MB/s sustained reads and writes (for improving compile performance etc)

- 4x1TB RAID5 on an LSI controller with 512MB of battery backed cache currently good for about 400MB/s sustained reads and writes

- NVidia 1050GT 2GB PCIe x16 GPU for GPGPU compute projects



As it currently stands, the box can build a complete Lineage OS system in under 1.5 hours (that last benchmark was before I added the SSD so that time may be reduced even more) and a kernel in 1.5 minutes (again, this is before the SSD..).



Planned upgrades include memory increasing, more storage, better GPUs etc.



System is on a permanent symmetrical 250Mbit fiber connection with it's own permanent static IP.



If you wish to have access to this, please send me a private message and we will determine if you are a candidate and will set you up an account.



Feel free to post any questions.



This is a FREE service. I am not requiring any form of payment.



I want to give back to everyone who makes my Android experience that much more awesome and I know a lot of developers are in countries where beefier hardware is expensive or hard to obtain, can't afford better hardware, or may have better hardware than buildbox but would like something they can start a task on and walk away without having to keep their personal boxes up.



We do have strict rules on illegal activity.



Anyways, let me know if you want in!
