The End?

In Covid-19-times some Problems appeared. The Hardware had become too slow to work properly with the software and it took hours to boot. New Hardware was needed.

The server was updated to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and some problems were fixed.

The old hardware was taken offline after > 60 000 hours online time.

The functionality grew continously. The server was used for different live saving jobs (git backups etc.) and became accessable via SSH. A mysql database was added and a password protected Xray-wiki http://roaler.org/dokuwiki was added. (Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10, 15.04, 15.10 & 16.04)

The project “online” started with this simple netbook (Asus EEE T101mt). In 2013 the netbook became too slow to work with, but too good to throw it away. The Low Energy Consumption (11W idle, Screen off) and the low price resulted somehow in setting up a server. (Ubuntu 13.10)

In November 2013 a simple Apache Ubuntu Server went online on the DynDns http://roaler.no-ip.org (available at least until 2020) only for fun and to test the reliability of the EEE-Pc
