 Not yet, I'm pretty sure. And you'd pretty much need to keep it plugged in for any server stuff. Those drain the battery heavily due to the many simultaneous connections needed for simplex to work. 

I'll be doing this with a startOS server, which I do have running on a tiny pc.

 Yeah I had thought about doing that with my umbrel node but fuck that thing…

I just need some irl help setting up this old rack server sitting here…

It would be interesting to have all that self hosted in da phone…

 I was pursuaded away from umbrel for a wife variety of reasons. I'm sure that between me and a couple others we could get your stuff up and running. I would seriously recommend proxmox as a base setup for a VM server. It's a bit more fiddly to set up, but... You can do pretty much anything with it that's outside of what startOS is currently limited to doing. (but startOS does it very well, and I prefer that.)

 You could just run startOS on its own. That's easy. Like, burn a USB stick and reboot easy.

 Um I’ve tried to install stuff on this sever like that before and wasn’t able to for some reason… think it has to do with whatever is currently on it?

 You might need to tweak the bios settings. 

What's the make and model of the server?

 Ugh it’s old like 2007 I think?
Duel Xeon 128gb ram 8 tb worth of drives,

I wasn’t able to access the bios… or it wouldn’t let me…?

 That's an issue for doing anything with that. 

Let's start with the exact model so we can dig up any documentation for it.

 Um now’s not really the time unfortunately…
I’ve got it put away at the moment & don’t have the room to pull it out currently…
When I get the chance to pull it out are you willing to help a little???
