Local build environment

I ran a mixture of devices around my desk at home, beside the main desktop PC (i7-4770, 16GB ram, SSD & HDD) Around my desk everything is currently wired with 1GbE and ofcousre the ususal domestic wLan for tablets and phones

NAS

My Solidrun_CuBox_(solidrun-cubox) is connected via eSATA to a 4-3.5" bay SATA-HDD enclosure. It gets also the required 5VDC (=2A) from a step-down converter module connected to the 19VDC supply for the enclosure. In the enclosure are currently 4 disk:

1 TB
1 TB
500 GB
250 GB

The cubox itself boots from a 64Gb sd-card

NFS

The first three disks are used for NFS-shares on brtfs partitons. for setting up NFSv4 sharing, please refer to alpinelinux-Wiki: Setting_up_an_NFS_server

iSCSI

The last disk is partitioned into several small partitions of 25 or 50 Gb size. These partitions are shared as block devices via iSCSI, for setting up the target, please refer to https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Linux_iSCSI_Target_(TCM)

For openRC-systems, the open-iscsi package from alpine can be used.
