Hello everyone!

I just got a 42U Rittal server rack from a friend, the problem is that it doesn't fit in my basement.

Since I do not want to give the server rack to someone else, I wanted to ask if it is possible to run a part of my Homelab in the garage?

The garage is not insulated, so apart from the roof and four walls there is no climatic difference to outside.

As I live in the west of Germany, the weather here is pretty mixed, but the temperatures can range from -5°C to +34°C over the course of the year, and the humidity from 70% to 87%.

If not, I just have a very sturdy locker

Do you really need 42U? Can you sell it and get a smaller one?

However, humidity is a big problem.
