How to build a server

[Jewlz]

I was thinking about building a server for maintaining view bots, look at my profile about it, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks or videos about making a server

Building your own server physically or renting one from cloud service companies?

I guess you will have to buy server grade components ecc rams, AMD epyc/Intel xeon CPUs, motherboards, cases and racks. power n cooling system. You will need static ip from your ISP with open ports. You can install Linux or windows depending on your needs

What's holding you back

Eh, you don't need server-grade hardware. You can run it on your home PC or a Raspberry Pi provided you can keep the PC on 24/7. For low-traffic servers (like your bot case), this is almost always more than enough.

A good bang for the buck mini PC that you can tuck in the corner and keep on 24/7 without a monitor (you can just SSH in) would be the N100 (from GMKtec). The 16gb RAM + 256gb SSD model is on AliExpress for $153 USD. It's more powerful than the Raspberry Pi and can more than handle botting. Just install Linux, SSH in, and set up your bots.

Question would it be better to do this on a homemade server or a virtual machine

 

[atlas_http]

It doesn't matter. What a bot uses is the network I/O, and any standard broadband connection should be more than able to handle a bot.

The virtual machine is cheaper. You're spinning it up on your home PC and isolating the bot to the VM, and you don't have to buy a new machine. However, each time you reboot, you have to restart the VMs. The homemade server, though, is something you can keep on 24/7. Just tuck it in the corner. It doesn't need a monitor. You can plug in a monitor when you want to fix something, but, usually with servers, if you set them up right, they are usually "set it and forget it."

Just try it on a VM first, and if you grow tired of having to reboot the VM, get a dedicated "mini PC" machine.
