Hi,

I'm looking for a ~strong cabinet with some shelves where I could install some IT equipment mostly Single-board computer, DIY NAS

So it doesn't need to be tall , so I guess that ~40cm height would be enough.

Additionally it would have the following:

  • air vents
  • all sides panel in resistant metal (steel) ? (so no glass/plexi panel)
  • holes to fix it to the ground or wall
  • a hole to pass an electrical cord.
  • a hole to pass an Ethernet wire.

I found only one reference (for now) that look a like what I'm searching https://www.hartmann-tresore.fr/gamme-serveur-protect.html But this website lack of prices and pictures :/ and anyway I don't need such a height.

Any idea where to look at ? or what that kind of item might be named ?

Thanks.

 

Hi,

I have a fresh debian VM under VMware W0rkstation.

I was wondering how can I pass data between the host (Windows :/ and the VM) with the VM being fully offline is it possible ?

Tested and not working:

  • host sharing a network drive (SMB) not possible as debian will require the install of cifs-utils
  • create a virtualized NTFS drive. not possible need ntfs-3g for debian

Any ideas ?

note: open-vm-tools is impossible either as I want to install it without being connected ton the www.[^1]

Thanks.
