MUHACK CPU SERVER
A shared machine that gives all members access to personal VM/LXC for general purpose computations.
What this box is for
- General computational needs
 
Fast facts
- Host name : cpu.muhack (reachable only locally or through the MuHack Tailscale network)
 - Management : Proxmox web UI @ port 8006 → Link
 - Sysadmins : Ceres-c, Mrmoddom, Cammo
 - Contact : webmaster@muhack.com • or in person every Tuesday evening at the MuHack meeting
 
Hardware
- CPU : 36 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2696 v3 @ 2.30GHz (1 Socket)
 - RAM : 64 GB ECC DDR4 @ 2400 Mhz
 - GPU-A : NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 710]
 - Disks : SSD 256GB - 6TB Raid0 (3+3 HDD)
 - NICs : Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
 
Software stack
- Proxmox VE 8.x (kernel 6.8)
 
Getting your own environment
- Make sure your laptop/PC is connected to the MuHack Tailscale tail-net and can ping gpu.muhack.
 - Go to the proxmox login page and login a first time to create your account and then logout immediately
 - Talk to any sysadmin (email or in person on Tuesday). Tell us
- what you plan to run
 - an estimate of how much RAM / runtime you’ll need
 
 - We’ll create a container (or VM) for you and hand back:
- ID (e.g. ct104 or vm203)
 - a random initial password
 
 
Typical turnaround time: usually same day or next-day. However might take more time if the sysadmins are busy.
After the first login you have to re-login a second time to let proxmox setup correctly your account's group
At this point you have two options for interact with the console:
- Use the proxmox web interface's integrated console
 - Join the machine to a tailnet (your personal or the MuHack's one) and connect trough SSH -> remember to enable ssh root access within sshd config file!
 
- Jobs longer than 12 h → announce them at the Tuesday meeting or in the telegram channel.
 - Sysadmins may pause/stop workloads that block others
 - Crypto-mining strictly forbidden
 
Good-citizen checklist
- If don't need to keep you VM/LXC up, shut it down for others: the resources are limited and shared!
 - Keep /tmp and your home directory tidy; disk space is shared
 - BACK UP YOUR OWN DATA: we have no data persistency or backup guarantee
 
Questions / ideas → email ceres-c@muhack.com, mrmoddom@muhack.com, or cammo@muhack.com — or just grab us at the Tuesday MuHack meeting.
