Monetizing Idle Linux Servers: Maximizing Resource Utilization
3 by oriettaxx | 1 comments on Hacker News.
A company I work for have a significant number of Linux servers on premises that remain idle during nights and weekends. These servers are completely free (mostly proxmox) and not utilized during these periods. I am seeking suggestions and ideas on how this can be monetize or we can leverage this untapped resource effectively. I believe that there must be creative ways to make use of these idle servers and generate some form of revenue or value from them. I recall many years ago CPUs could be given out for the genome project.... Well, I image it would not be that hard to just have gitlab-ci/github-ci VM given out... but how?
