Hi all,
this is probably the wrong place to post this, but there seems to be a lot f helpful knowledgeable people here so i thought I'd ask anyway.
I have built a home server using ubuntu server and i am thinking of placing it in the loft as i am in the process of boarding it out. whilst working up there i have noticed that it can get extremely hot. in the UK at the moment it is summer and we surprisingly get the occasional warm day, for example yesterday reached 26C outside in the shade where i live and in the loft it reached a very sweaty 36C.
i know that past summers can get well into the 30's so that suggests that the loft could get up into the 40's! and in the winter it will be the reverse in that it could get very cold up there. my gut instincts tell me that this is a crazy place to put a server knowing that in commercial premises servers are often in climate controlled environments.
so am i being overly pessimistic that a server couldn't last long in this environment or should i consider an alternate location?
Thanks in advance
Chris
