Since fixing the fan in my old laptop (must remember to find out why the CD drawer isn't opening - note to self), I've had it running in the corner as a server. So far it's an Ubuntu 10.04 server and I have it running:

  • apache2 - also including:
    • Tweet Nest(http://pongsocket.com/tweetnest/) for me and Jane
    • Tiny Tiny RSS (http://tt-rss.org/) - freeing my from Google Reader
    • RSS Lounge (http://rsslounge.aditu.de/) - evaluating an alternative to TT-RSS
    • Cacti - just monitoring the PC right now
    • MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/) - Why not? No use for it yet.
    • Access to scanner (http://scannerserver.online02.com/)
  • avahi / mDNS / zeroconf - In theory should be able to print from iPhone but this only works half the time, think this is a router issue though.
  • Remote access to GDM/XDM via VNC
  • Firefly / mt-daapd - iTunes-like media server (Needs replacing with something under active development)
  • CUPS (http://www.cups.org/) - Print server
  • BIND / named (http://www.isc.org/software/bind) - DNS - really must register pmsumner.eu.org again, I liked running that domain
  • squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/) - Caching proxy
  • MySQL - Mainly local databases for Cacti / RSS Lounge / TT-RSS / Tweet Nest etc
  • sshd - Remote shell connection

Most of this stuff only available locally, access available remotely to ports 80/22 only and everything runs under non-privileged user accounts. What else can I do.... ? :-)
