@PitaJ Thanks, it is actually not the issue of NodeBB, it is the decision on which strategy to choose. Anyway, I've done no worse than before, that is enough.

Ethernet cables serve fine as ropes!

So I wanted to write a little story of what I've been doing today, today after my work I went out on a site for second hand stuff, and found this old Dell PowerEdge 1850 for sale for 20 Eur, so I talked to the seller, he gave me his address and all. Everything smooth so far. Now! As I forgot I'm literally crazy and don't own a car. So how do I get a 1U rack server from place A to B. (7.7KM BTW) My original plan was to go get some climbing rope and carabiners I had at home, and then go on bike to the location. But as for everything I carefully plan out, nothing goes as plan.
By my surprise when I arrived at the location, I forgot the rope... "Shit!" I thought when I was ringing the doorbell of the office. Hoping I would figure something out I was slightly panicking to find something to strap down a ~20KG server.
Finally after I was done with talking to the seller and exhanged the money he asked me: "Sooo how did you get here" with my reply; "By... Bike..." The look on his face was amazing as I grabbed the server and put it back on my bike. "So you got something to strap it down?" he asked me. "Ehh about that", "Ye be right back, I'll have a look around"
After around 4 min of holding the server on the bike so it or the bike would not fall over he came back with a good 5 meters of CAT5E, so we strapped in the server on the back of my bike and I set off. Needless to say I had the most near accidents and people shouting at me for being a idiot... I've seen weirder stuff been carried on the back of bikes. But regardless now I got a second server to break, repair and collectively destroy :3So the moral of this story? or rather morales:
- Ethernet cables are damn strong and work near perfect for holding something (or someone)
- Always, ALWAYS think ahead of your transport methods!
- Always buy a electric bike!
-
You forgot to answer the most important question: Are you going to install NodeBB on there?

@julian Absolutly, xD the server will mostly serve as a test bench to break and reinstall NodeBB for plenty of times on

ROFL! Well glad you and your server made it home. The magic of NodeBB goes beyond the laws of physics
