Well his calls per hour are probably irrelevent. Probably much less than one. Many of us (including myself) have production servers and use a home server as a dev machine (which has a ton of other stuff running on it). Freeswitch, OpenVPN, pfsense, etc are all pretty easy to deal with on a home server. Its when you get things like mythtv-backend, Subsonic, etc. that you can easily get in trouble with. I've got an old Dell Precision 490 (ok maybe 5 years old) w/ a Intel Xeon 5150 and 1GB of ram that runs gnome, mythtv-backend, OpenVPN, FS, Subsonic, MediaTomb, 2 websites, a file server, and ZNC and it runs pretty well. there's even a few MySQL databases. Load avg probably hovers at around 0.25 for the most part. Brian Foster Endigo Computer LLC Sent from a mobile device. On Jun 9, 2012 2:00 PM, <toddb@toddbailey.net> wrote:
I'm not expert on this topic but I think to get a more accurate answer you you provide more detail on the the box is going to be use for. Dedicated or shared usage.
For example: I'm running Fedora 14 x64 w/8gig memory and several terabytes disk storage It's a dual proc w/ 2x Intel 5160 (dual core) 3ghz (HP x8400 workstation system board transplanted into a server chassis). I'm using it as home based media server with 4 clients (DVR& Music), a database, email,web file server. I just added Freeswitch and see little impact to resources. My cost off ebay was about $400
For Freeswitch it might be useful to state estimated call volume per hour and number of simultaneous calls and desired features,

Try aiming for a 64-bit OS if you could. For the OpenVPN part, if you could shoot for a Sandy Bridge or later CPU you'd probably find the AES-NI part of the CPU quite suitable. If you're on a budget you can always certainly aim for an AMD E-350 or something along the lines of that. Plenty of CPU power for SOHO boxes.

Raspberry Pi?
Shoot for 1.6 ghz dual core with 1gb memory, 2 NICs. That should be overkill (engineering translation: bare minimum).

Does anyone have any ideas for a good hardware build for a SOHO server?
Here's what I'd like running on it: OpenVPN, FreeSWITCH, and a firewall (probably pfSense).
My home network doesn't have too much traffic, and I don't get that many calls.
