And of course I ran the Linux server with an separate external connection with its own firewall.
So it had no connection to LAN. There is no need to invite the world in on LAN. Bad idea yes.
I used a mini ITX motherboard which runs around 20W and with heatsink.. so no noise.
My location is Norway and with my former good bandwidth There was no problems with connections... Maybe except for New Zealand .
And the server and servers could stay up for months with no prob.
Think I had uptime 15 months or so once.
Only reason I had to reboot was normally when applying kernel updates.
J1900 cpu by any chance?

Ok, so the only problem that are left are availability (power outage, network breakdown and other unforeseeable events) and handing things over.
I know it's all well now but let's say you decide to leave (or team decides to get rid of you ;-)) then you are no longer obligated (or willing) to provide serivces and the whole thing starts again. While having it hosted somewhere simplifies this greatly.
Anyhow... Rane now has one more option to choose from. None said it'll be easy job ;-)
