I would like to know what is the latest Debian or Ubuntu server I could install on a dl380 G6 server.

I have to run 2 things on it.

Nextcloud 20 and Odoo v14 (ERP)

Would this work or not? Or have I bought too old hardware?

I have seen that Debian 5 Lenny can run on this but not a clue if this can handle latest release of nextcloud or odooERP

  • That machine is more than 10 years old. While Linux is generally very good at handling old hardware, (they only recently removed the _floppy_ driver!) your performance will be from 10 years ago, and it's going to be quite noisy. I would not have purchased that machine myself. I wouldn't even have taken a free one. That said, you can always try to install anything you want on it. – Michael Hampton Feb 08 '21 at 00:24
  • So installing Debian buster or Ubuntu 20.04 should be possibe. I know it is old. But it will probably work better than my rpi4 cause backing up that one results without fail in I/o errors. – Stephane Feb 08 '21 at 00:53
  • Just side note would a dl380 gen 8 be a much better choice? I am looking around the max 250 EUR budget – Stephane Feb 08 '21 at 00:55
  • If your budget is small, think of the running cost: Such machines use a lot of electricity. You may use a Zotac ZBOX ci329 nano or something similar which uses 1/10 of the energy giving somewhat comparable results. – Adrian Zaugg Mar 23 '21 at 00:16
  • @MichaelHampton I got a deal around $250 for it and wanted to make it a staging server. You still think more nuisance than its value? – Alexander Suraphel May 13 '22 at 10:52
