What is your Subsonic setup?

[gurutech]

Just ran across this thread, figured I would join in the fun...

I have SubSonic running on:

Fedora 15 32-bit
Intel Celeron 2.2Ghz CPU
2GB RAM
An 80gb drive and a pair of 120Gb drives (non-RAID)
CIFS share to my Windows box with a 2TB drive hosting music and video (currently about 33gb music and 255 gb videos)
I have a DHCP assigned IP address, using NO-IP to port forward a DNS name to my IP address

I've just ordered the foundation for a new server that I'll be using to host video on Subsonic. As most SS users know, transcoding video takes a bit of CPU horsepower, so I spotted a used workstation on ebay that should do the trick. It is an

HP XW8600 2X E5440 2.83GHZ QUAD CORE CPU'S 16GB MEM 2X 250GB SATA
NVIDIA QUADRO FX1700 VIDEO CARD

With dual quad core 2.83GHz Xeon's it should be able to handle just about any transcoding I throw at it. It also has dual gigabit NIC's onboard as well as onboard LSI hardware RAID built-in, so it should be pretty easy to add a RAID 50 or 60 array when hard drive prices eventually come back down.

in the process of moving mine over to a new WHS2011 server...

I think I finally have enough horsepower to do everything that can be done on Subsonic. My new server is currently streaming a blue ray to my cell phone over 3g without any buffering or stuttering.

Two quad core 2.83 GHz XEON CPU's seems to have finally conquered the demands of transcoding and my last speedtest on my EVO 4G showed I was getting about 1mbps - so the numbers say it should work - and it is.

Be sure to download and use the latest FFmpeg to get the best video results. The version I'm using is dated 1/16/2012. The version that comes with the 4.6 Windows install didn't utilize multiple cores as well and couldn't transcode a few AVI files that I had. Updating ffmpeg fixed both issues.

You can try it out if you like at gj51.subsonic.org and use guest for U&P to log on. I'll be configuring and rearrangin libraries from time to time so I can't predict when or how often it may go offline, but it should be up for a while.

Hopefully we can next figure out how to tap a live TV stream from our Silicon Dust HD Homerun Prime into SS.

Ubuntu 11.10 x64 Hyper-V VM running on windows 2008 r2 x64, on an AMD x3 455 processor and 8GB of ram. runs great in a VM

[Hellscream]

I am running SS on a small square black box with pretty blue lights (which occasionally turn purple or red grrr!)
It has the word acer on the front. As it now makes sounds (thanks to SS)
Then I think that must stand for Amplification by Coherent Energy Release

muahahahaha m8 you are the person who makes me lough on terrible day at work.
SITTING HERE ALONE AND READING OLD POST.

Hello,

here is my conf.

Bareboneserver Intel I5 quadcore 4x 2.66+ GHz / 16 Go of RAM / 2 To of harddisk on fiber optic 100 mbps dedicated in a French datacenter with a Ubuntu OS.
Less than 5 user for now (open since one month), 95% music streaming / 4% downloading / 1% videos streaming.
Streaming to Windows http and to android client.

Synchronised with a old NAS@home (fiber optic WAN / 100 mbps/50 up.) every 4 hour for all DLNA services (video native + squeezebox for music)

I'm looking for replace all by only one server (silent !) at home...but I don't know yet what kind of server I can bought, I want at least RAID 1 of 4 To with yet ressources to do Video streaming (as today)...and a little server (like a NAS...)..any ideas ? Thanks !

(and I'll put my old NAS into another residence to do the external backup).

I have Subsonic running on virtual Ubuntu 11.10 64bit server edition, which is running on a Dell 1950, 2x quad core proc, 24GB ram that is connected to an Openfiler 4.5TB SAN via 4GB fibre.

88,227 songs
498.89GB

[gsibble]

Just a Mac Mini quad core with a 2TB external drive backed up using a Time Capsule.

Why does everyone have such huge hardware running Subsonic? I never run into any issues with my setup.

[diffy]

My Subsonic setup:

HP Proliant ML G4 (model from circa 2005) , dual 2.9gHz Xeon CPUs w/8mb cache
3500mb redundant ECC ram
300gb smartarray RAID5 with OS: GNU/Debian Linux
redundant PSUs
5x gbit ethernet, 4 active internet IPs
Located in an airconditioned server room with complete full security
Connection: 100mbit fiber

Subsonic media:
3TB of Electronic Music, Audiobooks and Series
Roughly 1.5TB music, 1TB ebooks, 400gb series
I also index all of my ebook library and let users download pdfs and so on. Ffmpeg hates it, but it works.
fully encrypted drive with LUKS
filesystem EXT4
+ sshfs connection to my mate on 50mbit fiber with an additional 5TB video

1 drive policy:
I have made a decision to stop buying more hardisks when the main archive is full.
Instead I wait for the next jump in drive-sizes available. In this way backup and having an overview of the entire archive is vastly simplified.
Every 6-12 months, I buy the largest drive available and copy all data over onto the new one and safely archive the old one in a dusty attic. I've been doing this with my archive since the largest drives were 200gb (it was around this time the price per gigabyte began coming down) (of course this was before Subsonic).

It's a dream come true
No really. I never thought this would ever be possible.

Subsonic 4.6 running on a Highly Available Hyper-V VM, with Windows Server "8" (2012) Beta Datacenter as the guest OS. Hosts are a pair of identical servers, 8 cores @ 3.2Ghz each, 32GB RAM, 2 60GB SATAIII SSDs in Raid 1, with storage on a custom built 20 disk Raid 6 array (currently at 22TB, more drives to come). VMs also stored on the storage array, managed by Microsoft System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager.
Storage array utilizes NIC teaming with 4 gigabit NICs, aggregated to my gigabit switch. Each VM host server utilizes 3 NICs, 2 NICs teamed to the switch, and 1 NIC to the DMZ network. 50mb down/5mb up WAN connection, across my Untangle firewall.

On the VM with SubSonic, I also run bliss to manage my album artwork (I prefer it to be embedded), read this post about it if interested: http://deviantengineer.com/?p=168
Lastly, I also run Plex Media Server for media serving to my Logitech Revue (running Android 3.2).

SubSonic works amazingly well with UNC paths. So happy about that.
