- <div class="div">
- <p>
- ARFNET is a non-profit organization (a homelab really) devoted to several causes such as:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Reenancment of the look and function of the old internet form the 80s, 90s and 2000s</li>
- <li>Preservation of humanity's knoledge, artwork and entertainment via archival, and its availability to all</li>
- <li>Free (as in freedom) and Open Source Software, hence all being published under GPLv3 on github</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- The ARFNET infrastructure consists of a network of hosts providing services like this website itself.
- Some of the services are for my own use, some others are public, for friends or everyone to use them, for example,
- /FTPServer is the general directory for sharing random stuff.
- But ARFNET didn't start like it is today, in the begining this was just me opening random ports. Now is (mostly) well organised and administrated.
- </p>

- A little bit of history now. A long time ago, several years back, I downloaded Apache HTTP Server in my shitty Pentium PC (the first host), and opened port 80 in my router.
- That is the origin. But I wanted more, I got a FreeDNS domain, the former arf20.mooo.com, and made a HTTPS certificate. Also installed Bitvise SSH server for remote management,
- with public key authentication, and allowed my NIC to wake the PC with Wake-on-LAN, to have it always available. But this wasn't a very good way of hosting a website, is not 24/7.
- I had a little Raspberry Pi 2B (<i>raspi</i>), which used to serve PPTP 24/7. But a raspi is not beefy enough to run nginx and to have a big drive. So, the waiting
- has paid off, and in summer 2021 I got my first real thicc and beautiful enterprise server. A DELL PowerEdge R720, which I inmediately bricked. You are not warned of the
- <i>special update process</i> that iDRAC needs, so I just tried updating to the last version, which went wrong. So wrong that iDRAC cound't be reflashed again. The only
- thing that I could do is change the motherboard, but that is even more expensive than another server. Another server? I still got eBay 1 month return warranty,
- so I applied it. Told the seller <i>"iDRAC broke itself lol"</i>, somehow they accepted. I got my 300€ back, and bought another R720, with better CPU! So I popped the boot drive,
- for which I choosed Ubuntu Server, and HDD from the old server, and it was almost plug-and-play. ARFNET back in business! From that point on, I have been migrating more services
- to the server, and adding new ones, like NTP and DNS. Now, my workstation is so linked to the server with SMB mounts that it is useless without it :concern:. I'll be more careful.

- Update 2022-3: Got a rack, mounted server in the rack, also got a Mikrotik RB2011UiaS-RM, but turns out it sucks (can't do NAT fast enough), rewired the network with a nice patch panel,
- got donated a few DELL switches and Cisco router, and finally kicked Vodafone, in favor of Avanzafibra, local ISP.
- Pretty nice people, they offer static IPs, 1000/1000 FTTH, separate ONT, and SIP credentials.
- Then I won an auction for 10x 3TB HGST drives, so now I've got a pretty nice 18TB RAID5 vault. The raspi died, sad. And then I eventually opened my mind and discovered just
- how shitty ubuntu is, so I installed proxmox and made debian VMs, from which ARFNET is running now. Also got 64GB of 2Rx4 RAM for more VMs, like an OPNSense to replace the Mikrotik,
- now I can finally make use of a full gigabit backbone, you'll notice a fantastic increase of speed.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- And what will the future hold? Well, the future is not written, but I got a few ideas. Like a 10gig upgrade, but not the whole network, that would be just too expensive.
- Just a 10GBASE-SR link, between the server and desktop, to make it even more linked together, with SATA speeds network shares. Both with their respectible 1000BASE-T links to
- the router. I could also get a rackmounted KVM console, one of the coolest things one can have in a rack. Maybe with a KVM switch for future servers? I should get a proper 2U UPS too,
- this one doesn't last enough.
