Post racks
>>101285175My rack is so smol and perky UwU :(. Any tips on how to make it grow big and boisterous desu??
(Repasta from >>101283708)Someone recommend me a random piece of home server software (from the awesome list or something) that you like/use.I'm currently too far in my comfort zone to try out new things.(Dubs and I'll force myself to use it to the fullest extent for at least a month.)
>>101285297What are you currently running?
>>101285175i need to buy a new switch and maybe build an opnsense/pfsense box (havent looked into them much) to replace my router
>>101285297these are my portainer containers:anacondacadvisorcalibre-webcode-serverdelugefilebrowsergrafanahomarrhomeassistantjellyfinlidarrnginx-proxynode_exporterorganizrpiholeplexportainerprometheusradarrreadarrsabnzbdsmokepingsonarrspeedtestsyncthingtautulliwatchtowerwireguard
>>101285349To be honest, nothing yet, since I'm waiting on hardware to arrive (babby's first homeserver).Once I have it I'm throwing a MC server, Plex, Nextcloud and Dashy on it, together with Portainer. These are the only pieces of software I'm already familiar with.
>>101285459Thanks, I'll take a look at those. I recognize a few.I'm running pihole already on a dedicated pi actually. Could as well run it (or adguard/pfsense) on the server instead.
>>101285297i am planning to setup Frigate so that it takes several daily pics of my milf neighbour as she is going in/out of her house, then run the pics through a nudify AI filter and send them to (my) private email account together with several lewd AI generated paragraph like >mhmmm this slut is all wet and ready for you ;) what would you do to me?i am also planning to implement chatbot style interaction where "we" can go back and forth with lewd conversation as i receive a nude with each reply.
>>101285260Just sit tight for a few years. you'll eventually accumulate more equipment in the natural course of things, just because you needed to do X or wanted to tinker with Y.(whether any of this equipment is useful is a separate question, mind)
>>101285260>>101285436Very nice racks
>>101285297Before you start:>Ansible (jump box)>Terraform (jump box)>HashiCorp Vault>Active Directory>Kubernetes or OpenShift>VMware vSAN / StarWind VSAN Free (KVM)
Tinkerer here.I have all the parts to build an Intel i3-12100 home lab serverm, except the MB. I saw this online and was wondering if any of you have rigged up dell precision server shit. I know I need the ATX12vo adapter, but was wondering if this is nightmare fuel over just getting a retail asus w680. Dug into this and apparently you need to solder proprietary power connectors, as well.I want / need something that has low power draw, intel quick sync, ECC ram (I love my data) but don't need a lot of CPU horsepower as it will mostly be a dumb file server.
>>101285983Too complicated for what I need. I think I'll be set with a ssh connection and Portainer.Even Ansible would just be used for setting up Docker.
>>101285014I will try that if there's no other choice, but it doesn't seem like it should need a special application to resolve an allowed and accessible IP, seeing as the rules should already be in place for it to work.I even added the IP of each box to the access lists in the DNS resolver's, but still nada. Anything I should try before I dive into haproxy?
>>101286015I hate proprietary mobos so much it's unreal
>>101286015None of the oems follow atx standards for mounting either and use their own proprietary psus. The psus are decent themselves but are limited on power.You're not getting ecc on a consumer intel platform without a W680 board. You'll want to check if an i3 will even support it.
>tfw all /g/ archives have search disabled so have to post here and hope to be spoonfed insteadwhat's /gee/'s preferred NAS? been thinking of repurposing a couple of identical drives into a raid1 setup, but want to use a filesystem that windows doesn't support (zfs)so i'm thinking some dedicated hardware would be best to handle that, then i can just access the files from a network share within windows, but i want something simple that Just Werks (tm) without too much tinkering and preferably isn't too expensive (maybe ~€200-300 or less, no idea how much these things usually go for)also one of the drives has data on it so what i want to accomplish is>have drive 1 with all the important data on it, formatted as NTFS>drive 2 is free to be formatted to ZFS, plugged into the NAS and all the data transferred back over>then drive 1 can be wiped, added to the ZFS pool and mirrored from drive 2is this possible and if so what are /g/'s preferred devices within that budget?
>>101286391Sounds like the only way to get low power idle use on an ECC Quicksync platform is with the Atom c3000 chips. My lord these are fucking expensive. Intel has outsmarted the goy yet again.
>>101286550So you're aiming for a two disk zfs raid?>200€-300€>just werksThis isn't happening. You also write like you're in for rookie mistake 101 regarding zfs: Once your raid is built, you can't just add/extend plates like you want.
Requesting /hsg/'s quick run down on vSAN, why and how does it matter for home usage and what's the difference with a NAS>t. new to the concept
>>101286550Check ebay for an HP 800 G4 SFF or Z2 SFF if you only need two 3.5" bays. Fujitsu might have a 2-bay sff but I'm not familiar with their lineup. It'll have m.2 slots and most listings include that or an ssd for the OS.If you actually can't deal with installing your own OS and finding some hand-holding app manager, then you're stuck buying an expensive appliance nas, which will be dicier about copying your existing data to a mirror arrangement. It will be simpler to get a third disk, mirroring across the two free disks, and keeping the original for backup purposes.>>101286576I guess getting one of the half-height/itx arc cards defeats low power idle? Because a 4-core epyc for am5 should be available "soon" and asrock consumer boards usually support unbuffered ecc if you don't want to splurge on an asrock rack board, though those have some nice nics.>I have all the parts to build an Intel i3-12100 home lab serverm, except the MBoh right.Honestly, ECC is only necessary if you're selling data or doing a lot of offloaded processing.
new toplology just dropped
>>101286995>>101287157
>>101287184I posted the wrong image so I deleted it :)I haven't removed the DAC yet since I need a 10gbit switch for that
>>101287204You gettin the switch or stayin with the DAC? I remember recommending keeping the DAC but given you don't have a managed switch might as well get it
>>101287220For right now I'm sticking with the DAC since I want to get the APs set up (should be delivered today).Eventually I want to get rid of it and get a switch for a few reasons>it will let my server do more than 1gbit of traffic between multiple clients>only have the 10.x devices on my trusted network>it will let me consolidate my reverse proxies so i dont have to have additional 172.x proxies for devices that can use the speed (like speedtest, filebrowser, etc)But that's probably in a few weeks.Once that's done I might build a pfsense/opnsense box, but not sure if I'll have the time to deal with that.
>>101286997Thanks desu.DESU I don't really need ECC memory, I just already have 64gb of unbuffered ddr5 memory so why not use it? I just added up the cost of running this server 24/7 for a year in my eurocuck power residence so this does matter (35-40/month). I consider this free heat in the winter months, but it does make sense to be more selective for a server running 24/7. Some peeps schedule off / on reboots during night hours but I think that might cause other issues.Anything you recommend that does low power idle? AMD or INTEL. Quicksync is nice but not mandatory. Have 6 HDD's in a ZFS2 array and I checked those run 30w on average which I can live with.
>>101287312>I might build a pfsense/opnsense boxJust virtualize it
Raspberry Pi OS vs Ubuntu Server for a rspi?Does it really matter?Primarily planning to run Pi-hole. But might fuck around with some other server software later.
>>101287389noneget thishttps://dietpi.comhas like 7 processes and takes 40MB ram out of the box
>>101286802yeah i'm a bit of a newfren regarding home server stuff, never considered using any hardware other than my main pc so not 100% sure what these things usually cost, sorry - my previous setup was with storage spaces in windowsregarding the raid i just want a simple raid1 two-way mirror for redundancy - i have no plans to expand it or do anything more complex beyond mirroring like parity, striping etc.and if i did expand it would ideally be with another set of two drives, mirrored in the same way>>101286997hmm, i can look into that, thanks anonnot sure how i feel about secondhand stuff but we'll seei don't mind setting up the os and such provided it's not too much of a hassle - i've spent hours debloating and customising my windows installs before so tinkering isn't new to me, it's more that i don't want to go wrong and set it up in a way that puts my data at riskso an os that installs and mostly "just werks" (even if it does require minimal tinkering) would be nicereally not keen on having to buy a third drive though
>>10128759040mb ram instead of 100mb ram, everything else is just only slightly better.Except putting logfiles on tmpfs, why are they praising that as an improvement? Just use logrotate and prune the oldest bunch.This smells like a meme OS ngl.
>>101287851>>101287590how can I get down to 40mb with a regular distro?
>>101287888Unironically, what's the use case of that? I want shit to work without too much hassle.I've tried enough stripped down distro's where I run into time-wasting shit down the road because e.g. musl was used because of glibc, making shit I wanted to install incompatible, or dependencies were missing and not in their own package repos etc.
>>101287888The only way is to use a minimal distro like Tiny Core. You won't be able to get that with a regular distro.
>>101286015This is a non-starter, consumer grade desktop parts, not server parts. It's a nightmare.Xeon E-2300 or E-2400 (with Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series) would've been what you were looking for.
>>101286391>You're not getting ecc on a consumer intel platform without a W680 board. You'll want to check if an i3 will even support it.Nope. No ECC on i3-12100, even with a W680 workstation board.
>>101286550Non-tinker route: Synology (0-1 devices) or Dell PowerVault.Tinker route: StarWind VSAN Free (KVM) controller virtual machine, PCIe passthrough of a HBA (up to 2-3 servers).
>>101286869Shared storage. Think of it as RAID except instead of between disks it's between multiple server hosts. It can help with live migration and recovery of VMs.
>>101287888>Unironically, what's the use case of that?neofetch threads on /g/>>101287969damn. i figured i could just recompile without some options. i dont have many processes running
>>101287157This still needs improvement to follow a router-on-a-stick configuration or a two tier campus network architecture.
>>101287312Both easier and better if you would buy a dedicated firewall appliance (non-virtualized) instead of DIY.
I have a few 1tb SSDs that I want to put in a NAS.Would it make sense to just use them in JBOD by themselves as they are, or are they better used as RAID cache inside a NAS with other HDDs?
>>101287321You can still use those sticks in any board but the ecc won't be active, so you can get a consumer matx board if you just wanted to get something together. Most modern cpus have pretty good idle power states if you don't get a 12-core+ monster.But there's nothing out regarding epyc 4004 yet, should mostly follow 7000-series but the 4-core is new. But you're likely pushing the cost of a proper W680 board getting new amd stuff.>>101287389Alpine won't trash your sd card, but will likely drive you insane getting it installed properly.>>101287710>not sure how i feel about secondhand stuffYou're not going to find anything that cheap for two disks unless you already have old hardware lying around. And getting something you setup yourself means you can make sure zfs populates and mirrors correctly instead of automagically deciding for you.Looks like 2-bay appliance nas are floating around $200~300 new.
>>101288355Depends entirely on the SSD models if they are suitable to be considered in the first place. (Read: enterprise SSDs)
>>101288366>Most modern cpus have pretty good idle power states if you don't get a 12-core+ monster.TDP does not equate to idle power consumption (outside of two-socket servers). A higher TDP processor of the same generation can consume less power than a lower TDP one, race to sleep (to lower C-state).
>>101288387>(Read: enterprise SSDs)what makes them different from commercial SSDs?
>>101288283Nice, thanks, how would you go about implementing this? Preferable using Proxmox, but I'm interested given I plan to introduce another virtual host node
>>101288545high tbw
>>101288545Endurance and consistent performance (not aiming for highest peak performance with trashy performance when the cache runs out), particularly with fsync.
>>101288623If you want to lab it, grab a VMware ISO and install it on three virtual machines with VMware VMXNET3 network adapter and VMware PVSCSI. Enable nested virtualization or passthrough the host CPU.https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Nested_VirtualizationYou need a minimum of 2+1 dedicated servers (2 nodes + witness) with hardware validated in VMware's HCL and also vSAN HCL to run it in production. Preferably HBA and a homogenous environment of hosts. https://www.vmware.com/go/hclStarWind VSAN Free can also do ZFS (SAN) replication with 2 hosts without a witness, to achieve something similar as VMware vSAN with 2+1. Requires 10 GbE, preferably 25 GbE between hosts, thus Mellanox Connect-X4 or better. You don't necessarily need 10 Gbps or 25 Gbps switches for cluster traffic.>Dell PowerEdge R730 for VMware 7.0U3 and vSAN 7>Dell PowerEdge R740 for VMware 8.0U3 and vSAN 8
>>101288763>Mellanox Connect-X4Mellanox ConnectX-4 *
>>101288763Forgot to tell. From there, in a Windows desktop environment, install VCSA on one of the (virtual) ESXi hosts to get vSphere. After setup, start enabling vSAN from vSphere Client (web UI).Lab licensing is $210/year, or a keygen.
>>101288366Thanks. I get the ECC vs non ECC benefit, I just figured you might have insight, which you did. I am getting the w680 asus pro board + i3-14100t cpu combo + 64 ecc ddr5 ram I have. It supports ECC ram (confirmed) and the board supports the memory which is always dodgy with pro tier Intel shit. The board is way overkill for what i need, but I figured ECC is worth it, and the Quicksync is a nice feature. Its onboarrd SOC is supposedly excellent for the 6 drive HDD setup I will be running, and its 2.5 gbe Intel NIC is good. Never ran a dual lan server before, not sure if I will get any benefit, but will set it up. I have a 10gb nic card lying around, but will only convert my network to 10gb if I have to, to save power. I have a real feast or famine server environment where like 6-8 users will be streaming at once from my plex server (I have a lot of kids / relatives at the house during summer / pool) but most of the time its totally idle so power use is what I am going with for the 14100t chip which basically shuts off when not in use (less than 5w). Wish me luck on the new build!inb4 blog post
I was wondering today: Why should you buy several $2000 enterprise servers at home, that will be obsolete in 5 years or less?It's cheaper to buy a $5000 life size Azuka statue and it won't be obsolete in 10 years.
>>101288901>i3-14100t>It supports ECC ram (confirmed)Loud incorrect buzzer. Aw dang it.
>>101288303>a router-on-a-stick configuration or a two tier campus network architecturehow would those differ from pic rel, which is probably my next step (getting a switch to replace the dac and putting everything on 10.x)?right now I'm using a port and a wifi network to keep the 192.x network (untrusted devices) isolated from the 10.x network (trusted devices)
>>101288901>its 2.5 gbe Intel NIC is goodThis is also incorrect. Consumer grade Intel i225-V / Intel i226-V have a severe Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) bug, where single-stream TCP connections can become limited to 100 Mbps throughput or more severely drop packets.
>>101288921>AzukaAsuka
>>101288935Allow routers to route and switches to switch. Connect end-user devices to switches, or wireless access points, not all-in-one devices. Use VLANs; your isolated subnet could dangle off the switch show in main network area, if managed.The mobile devices and Roku in the main network are weird in the graph.You need a firewall. This could act as your aggregate-core, and be connected to the ISP provided CPE (whatever that thing is below the globe).A smaller access layer below access layer is fine, but not common.Maybe the graph isn't readable to understand your full intentions.Sorry I don't have time or interest to draw you a better graph now.
>>101288935use a core switch with VLANs for your segmentation instead. you'll get your port density and layer 3 functionality that way as well.
>>101289053this "allow routers to route and switches to switch" in a homelab meme doesn't make any sense because there's no dynamic routing or QoS happening whatsoever. a good switch can do everything and more. the real question is a firewall with stateful inspection, because consumer routers and switches are mostly incapable of stateful inspection.

>>101289068My router runs dd-wrt so I just use that to create a rough port/ssid based vlan. It works well enough.>>101289053>The mobile devices and Roku in the main network are weird in the graph.How so? The one Roku is hardwired to the access point (treating it as a switch) and the others are connected to it via wifi (dashed lines). >A smaller access layer below access layer is fine, but not common.Not sure what you mean here either.I think my router has vlan tagging support so I can mess around with that when my APs come in. It would probably look something like this monstrosity until I get the new switch, though, since all I have is a 5 port switch.

>>101288931>>101288950I dared to dream a dream. Intel said no. The holy grail of a quick sync Intel CPU with ecc ram support is still impossible.
>>101288931>>101291510Did some shit change againCould of sworn pretty much all LGA1700 chips support ECC when in a w680 board
>>101291584I thought so too. According to this guy>>101288931 it doesn't. I went to Intels ARK page and sure enough it doesnt list ECC yes or no. The only low power cpu that does is the i3-12100e which is pretty much unobtanium online. The only motherboard that gives me hope is this one from asrock.

>>101291584>>101291510I think the i5 13400 is the most economical chip that supports ECC on a W680 platform, but while researching this stuff lately I kept hearing the TDP isn't necessarily reflective of the power consumption.Rather, newer Intel CPUs are actually pretty power efficient, because they idle low and then turbo when necessary to finish tasks faster, which is OK for a home NAS workload (might be an issue for an enterprise network appliance due to the clock-speed delta resulting in jitter). Anyway, have you seen this one? https://mitxpc.com/products/imb-x1231>>101291788What about this?https://www.ebay.com/itm/176446636072Caveat: If the price seems bad, as I mentioned before I've been looking into this shit recently- and having trawled over hundreds of listings this is one where the seller sent through one of those eBay automatic lower-price offers 400 USD, which isn't unreasonable since it comes with heatsinks and stuff. They also have a bare board available if you don't care about the accessories, or you could message them directly and see if they might give you a better price.

Backup to the external when you remember but preferably on a schedule.

I recently picked up one of these secondhand in hopes of assembling a NAS:https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=E3C246D2IHow would you design a system for fault-tolerance, good thermal management, and relatively low noise with these limitations:>1x PCIe x16 slot ~ bifurcates to x8/x8 or x8/x4/x4 (nil four x4 option)>8x SATA (SATA_0,1,2,3 via Oculink + _4,5,6,7 on PCB; *"SATA_1 will be disabled when M.2 is SATA signal.")>1x 2242 M.2 slot (*"NVMe SSDs PCIEx4 [Share with SATA_0,1,2,3]")My max budget for drives is relatively flexible, even if I'd like to keep it as far south of $3000 USD as possible (USD equivalent anyway, money for server gear doesn't go anywhere near as far outside the US it seems), but in targeting ~20TB of available space with either mirrors, raidz2, or mirrors+raidz1 I'm really struggling to find a robust option that would stay quiet and run cool with the internal I/O only.And full disclosure: I'm an Ausfag, plus I live in a tiny unit, so it's less about running cool than not giving myself tinnitus from 7200 rpm drives and not cooking during the summer (it can only be kept in my living room due to space constraints) also in combination with our soaring electricity rates, enterprise gear in general and HBAs are not an option.
>>101292551>intel never allowed any sort of ecc on their consumer lines for segmentation purposes.ECC memory support on Intel consumer Core lines lines exists (since 12th generation), with the appropriate combination of board and CPU.Workstation boards such as W680 are still very much targeted at a consumer or business client / desktop audience, particularly since Xeon W series workstation CPUs with ECC memory support were consolidated into Alder Lake-S and later. That's to say, ECC memory was enabled in Core series CPUs in 12th generation Core with a workstation board, but a Xeon W1390P was also a rebranded 11900K before that, and Xeon E was usually a similar chip but targeted at entry level servers.

>>101295046Sure but basically confirms what i said (newer desktop consoomer intels & motherboards kinda got worse) i agree with the server part tho.also one more reason why raspi are memes."race to idle" is not a very convincing argument when it comes to a skylake i5 vs raptorlake i5 because the total idle watts have doubled with the latter option for the exact same type of parts (let's say matx and 4 to 8 hard drives for a small home box) yes raptor lake finishes the job quicker then goes to idle but the overall platform idle watts baseline is 2x so what are we doing here?
>>101296064I have a 14900k in my desktopIdle is just as good as previous platforms, if anything it's gotten better just due to what the CPUs are capable of.If there was an idle problem then it has to do with retarded gaymer boards, when at 250w on the CPU and the VRMs are only at a quarter of what they are capable of, it means your going to be in the dirt for idle efficiency. Many boards also don't bother anymore with phase down options on the controllerAny time modern 12th gen+ CPUs are paired with a a mini-PC or a board actually designed correctly, idle is great.

>>101296025Don't let the enterprise anons see this post.
>>101296415>my issue was with the general statement "modern intels are more efficient" without a proper context of what when and whyThey very much are, every CPU gen has been more idle efficient than the last. It just doesn't seem that way as CPU idle power becomes an ever smaller and smaller portion of the power consumed.The whole VRM issue has been a problem since 10th gen when vendors went fucking stupid.It's just now coming to ahead because people are seeing their CPUs sip less and less power in software and in OEM platforms but idle power from their custom PC/server isn't going down in proportion.People are really starting to wake up that the general DIY PC market has not prioritized idle efficiency and there is more to it than the CPU or even efficiency rating of the PSU.
>>101296709A little bit related, but the DIY PC market also has not prioritized reliable 1 GbE NICs unlike e.g. Dell does with OptiPlex desktops to date. The DIY PC market prioritizes speed for everything, reliability or power consumption be damned.
>>101296771I'm curious and wasn't able to find quick info on this.>what makes OptiPlex's NIC better than the ones found in DYI parts?
>>101285129>Wizard of Oz>not adding an install wizard somewheresad
>>101296630cool, there's not many great options here for better $/TB, mostly just second hand, but seems a bit dangerous
>>101296823Dell doesn't explicitly state which NIC models they use, usually referring it to as "RJ45" or "RJ-45 Ethernet Port 10/100/1000 Mbps". I suspect they are I219-LM, due to vPro. Generally, all Intel 1 GbE NICs are fine and without issues, very mature. In comparison, Intel i225-V and Intel i226-V 2.5 GbE NICs are still found to date on the latest Z-chipsets in the DIY PC market. They're faulty from the factory, with a Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) bug that can only be worked around by disabling EEE support in firmware or software (thus increasing idle power consumption by a miniscule amount). The bug can throttle single-stream TCP or drop packets. IIRC, Intel allows either 2.5 GbE or 1 GbE for Z-chipsets, although the latter is tagged as "optional".Then there's the whole slew of Realtek and Marvel NICs, which may have less driver support outside of Windows client operating systems. Historically Realtek 1 GbE used to have many reliability issues or less hardware offloading capabilities, it's gotten the NICs a bad rep, 2.5 GbE not so much anymore I've read.I quite dislike the idea of 2.5 GbE in clients anyway, because there's no affordable enterprise grade hardware such as firewalls or switches to support it anyway. The more expensive 2.5 GbE PoE ports on enterprise switches are better to be left for WiFi 6E/7 wireless access points, but even there it's incredibly niche and requires a very clean RF spectrum, because a single older client can downgrade the rest of wireless clients.
>>101296908Interesting and helpful post anon, thanks so much. Will have this mind.
>>101296908The frenzy for 2.5G is really just because it's a cheap cop out as to not add 10gA few years ago saw many of boards with 10G because it was getting ridiculous that 1g had been the standard for a decade.Every since 2.5g became regularly available they been touting that as high-end networking and very seldom put 10G anymore.

There's no suggestion to use 10 GbE NICs, actually those are just PCIe lanes taken and reduced from the rest of the chipset.
>>101295391>>101295418It just doesn't make sense. I have 100G networking in my homelab, and a dual port 100G NIC costs about 3x as much as a quad port gigabit NIC? What?
>>101297219>There's no suggestion to use 10 GbE NICsAnd in the client market, Intel doesn't really have a 10 GbE client NIC. There's Intel X550, but it's for the server market.

They otherwise aren't forced to unless something has changed since I bought my Z590 master with its sole 10G port>actually those are just PCIe lanes taken and reduced from the rest of the chipset.It takes 2 lanes to implement a 10G NIC, they have the lanes

Is it possible to directly attach two servers via fiber rather than going through a switch? If so, any particular reason not to do it?
>>101297479It's about scale and SFP+ transreceiver compatibility. Fiber is more economical for TCO, simply put.
>>101297595>Is it possible to directly attach two servers via fiber rather than going through a switch?Yes>If so, any particular reason not to do it?If you need other devices on that network
>>101297595fiber works exactly like ethernet. the only thing that changes is it uses light instead of electricity and you cant do poe as a result.
>>101296444OP here. I don't really care from a money standpoint, because I am rich. I just don't like wasting energy needlessly just for personal reasons. No reason even pro shit has to be a housefire 24/7 in terms of energy use. For example a titanium power supply will save around 30w over the equivanent bronze dell shit per year. With 24/7 ontime, that adds up to $70 / year in Amerifatt cheap energy prices. Double that in Europe. Its doesn't make sense to cheap out considering I just bought a 850w Superflower Leadex new off amazon for $120 new WITH an ten year warranty.Same with NAS servers. I know we all larp as data centers here (based) but none of our shit is being used heavily while at work or from 1am to 7am. It makes sense to idle down our CPU's and shit to low power states.
>>101297595>If so, any particular reason not to do it?If you need to connect other devices AND the servers don't have additional NIC's
>>101297597Never mind thenYour just a brain dead autist who can't even follow the post chain to get the context
>>101297595Yes, and it's often more economical to have smaller 2-3 server node clusters directly connected with single or dual 25 GbE or faster, and/or a witness host or clients "consuming" the data stored on the servers' disks over a 1 or 10 GbE link connected to stacked access layer switches.It won't scale well past 2-3 servers, and should be an isolated network to avoid network loops.

>>101299493>>101300344i'll say it again: you can easily host Revolt since several years now. they had some issues with some retarded config files - kept changing location with every version, but last time i checked, it was fine.not sure about how secure it is on a public vps for example but that's another discussion altogether and dont expect a million features like Discord.i've seen an instance deployed with around 100 members and it's fast as fuck, way faster than discord, it's like running WindowsXP on modern hardware.i guess that's what what zero telemetry does to a messaging platform.
any pre-built NAS to install TrueNAS with zfs? or better build my own? are the cases in OP up to date?>https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server/Case_guidewas checking the Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Tower Case, wanted at least 6 slots to start with 2 drives in mirror, then expand to 4 and 6 when neededi guess there's also QNAP for zfs, but doubt its as good as TrueNAS
>>101300546>any pre-built NAS to install TrueNAS with zfs?iXsystems.>or better build my own?For scale, yes. For 1 node, Synology?>are the cases in OP up to date?Nothing in the wiki is up to date.>Mini ITX Tower CaseWhy not a rackmount chassis?>zfsWhy ZFS?
>>101300570>Why ZFS?as far as i've read it's better on everything, performance, reliability, easy to expand, snapshots. thanks ill check iXsystems
>>101300619RAID-Z expansion is new.It's still experimental in Ubuntu, and has been since 19.10.It's unsupported in RHEL. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/79633Why is nobody talking about T10 DIF / T10 PI?Just tested mdadm vs ZFS at work with NVMe today, mdadm was faster than ZFS. We used FIO.TrueNAS' clustering is also deprecated, thanks to Red Hat for stopping the development on Gluster. Still various other software that can make use of XFS or ZFS and support clustering, without going the full way with Ceph or vSAN.
>>101300687And more importantly, Tang + Clevis works better with LVM for network bound boot of encrypted disks.
>>101300687was going to use raid1/mirror, not raidz1, seems a bit unclear the advantages of raidz and complicates expansions while in raid1 its just +2 drives
>>101300736indeed, expanding mirror with another mirror is easy and straightforward, while raidz expansion is a brand new feature with some quirks (for example, you end up with less space than if you recreated your pool)

Anyone have any experience with the Minis Forum MS-01? been seeing it shilled lately. Looks like it would be a good fit to hook up to my TV and use as a router/Pihole/NAS/watching movies and youtube
>>101288935>>101287157>>101290004>got the new APs last night>installed them today>speed is great (gbps wifi on my wifi 6 devices)>coverage is also greatThe drawback is I wanted to put the iot devices on the APs as well, but the APs don't support vlan tagging when in AP mode. I'm not even sure I would be able to get my ancient router to handle that anyway.So right now I just moved the iot devices to 10.x's dhcp pool and have it isolated on the guest network (the APs have an iot network but for some inexplicable reason it allows connections to the wider network). And then I have my work laptop connected directly to the router (either via wifi or a port, depending where I am) with a vlan setup.Short of returning the APs and getting whole new ones and then also buying/building a new router, I'm not sure what else I can do.

Is anywhere from $30 for a used board to $65 for a new one worth it for IPMI on a soft router?

>>101293096Anyone?Also, why do all the pcie adapter cards I can find run the wrong way?Plotting this out myself, I'm thinking of using the x4/x4 for 2x m.2 drives via an adapter, and since the x8 can't be split without a HBA/PLX I may as well use it for a faster NIC, but the orientation of the expansion slots on most NAS cases don't match the only available x8/x8 risers.

Absolute noob here, hoping for an anon to point me in the right direction.So I installed Ubuntu Server on an old PC and wish to use it for accessing files from my other computers, which are a mix of linux and windows systems. Being able to access the files over the internet would be pretty sweet, but I'd settle for just the local wifi network to start with.How do I set this up on the server, and how do I access the files/server from the other systems?
>>101306992Hard mode: Samba on Ubuntu Server (SMB network share).Something in between: StarWind VSAN Free (KVM) virtual machine, disks / HBA passthrough, to setup SMB shares with a web UI (can be on an Ubuntu Server host). Alternatively, Cockpit (with some plugins), but Cockpit isn't as good.Easier mode: Windows Server with an Active Directory domain.Don't let anyone tell you to use TrueNAS or openmediavault.

What is a good password manager service to host ? I would like a solutio to have it easily sync on all my devices.
what's the best remote desktop for Linux in a LAN? that i can use seamlessly in full screen? just a regular Xorg client/server? can i use it just starting with "startx" with some parameters in a local TTY to connect to the remote server, and have my own local desktop in another TTY and change between them with control+alt+F1? i don't like running remote desktops inside of another desktop, inside of a window, it fucks up with my brain like in a bad Christopher Nolan movie
>>101308854The best one is still Bitwarden.https://www.g2.com/categories/password-manager#grid
>>101308928It's still always going to be VNC, because xRDP isn't good enough, but no audio, so nothing comparable to Windows RDP. No, not even virt-viewer.
>>101308957i don't need audio in my case, what are the limitations of Xorg? can you run VNC as standalone fullscreen without running it inside another desktop?
>>101308957you can easily stream audio with pulseaudio
Does any anon know of a quick way to create symlinks on a remote server? It's not supported through SMB remotelyI get syntax errors on doing it in bash through ssh because the target link has parentheses in it
>>101309467try escaping the parantheses then?

>>101308928>>101308957>>101308985researching this, seems like it's possible with XDMCP, but it's insecure so you have to add an SSH tunnel, i'll report back if i have any luck with this>https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDMCPthe Arch wiki is really retarded, it first says:>If snooping is possible, this leaves the system vulnerable to attack. It is disabled by default, using an ssh tunnel for X traffic is preferred.and then when you connect it says:>You can access your login manager on the network computer (using 192.168.0.10 in the following command). TCP and UDP streams are opened. So it is not possible to access the login manager via an SSH connection.???? thanks niggers
>>101308928Try AnyDesk. That shit just works. I was doing some massive file copy job on my Mint computer for ROMs that may or may not be replaced. Was a godsend for the GUI file manager in that scenario though I could have been less retarded and just use ranger but I think it was some weird permissions shit preventing me from doing so.Anyway, I used that from a phone on the same LAN network to just monitor what was going on. Very cool and intuitive.
>>101306992Do not use SMB for accessing across the internet.Personal suggestion:>Setup Samba/SMB for local access across LAN, this should work with Windows and Linux boxes>Setup Nextcloud for "cloud" access of files across the internetNow for Nextcloud you'll likely need:>A domain>Static IP>Open ports>Secure the systemEach of those will require some work from your part.The other way around is to not open ports and just get a static IP, then:>Setup a VPN service like Wireguard or OpenVPN>Connect to the VPN on the go>Access your files through samba or SSHFSYes, you can use TrueNAS or OpenMediaVault, the other anon was trolling you
10gbit is so cheap now
>>101310261for the price you could get a 2-port 40GbE ConnectX-3, and even flash it to 56GbIB/56GbE version.
can it still be worth mining shitcoins at home? or are we beyond the point where you would spend more money in electricity than what you get back?

Any jewropeans here? I moved back to the NL and wanna buy an h12ssl-i with an epyc cpu from ebay. It ships from China. Some sellers mention they'll try to circumvent customs duties by shipping things in parts and claiming fake low values on them, but some say they're not responsible for customs. Are the latter willing to do shit like the former chink sellers if you ask them? How do you guys avoid customs here? Cost is around 800.. No idea how much import duties would be but the government steals more than enough from me already.

>>101310411>>101310403>>101310324the thing that worries me about those random ebay nics is somebody putting malware on it
>>101310534you can easily reflash the firmware with the one straight from Mellanox if you're worried
>>101308122>How about buying/diy a ups to avoid repeating failures?I don't believe a UPS would have helped, it wasn't any surge that caused the power to be cut but just simply a breaker overload. Wouldn't think it would have been damaged from the power cut, it was in disuse anyway as it quit reliably powering a 10g base-t SFP so it could have died while ago
I'm considering building an opnsense box. How much of a headache is it?
>>101310729which one? is it really worth the price compared with buying a PC and a switch instead?
>>101310769I'd be using an unused server for this.
>>101310729Yes.
>>101310802so you just mean installing opnsense? not buying one of this? that's fine, usually opnsense works, but sometimes it breaks while configuring it, or while updating it, usually if it allows you to configure it, it stays working, at least until you try to update it
>>101310866NTA but the pricing is quite non-competitive versus enterprise grade firewalls.
>>101310890yes, seems very overpriced, i assume a computer + a switch will be better value
>>101310890What enterprise grade firewalls are you thinking of?
Any reason why you would have an IP default gateway of 192.168.x.254 instead of 192.168.x.1 for a Cisco switch? Trying to follow this: /r/homelab/comments/7is1x0/cisco_switch_101_starting_from_nothing_part_1Also, does passwordless ssh work?
Actually, I think I'll just do 'IP address dhcp' and forget about default gateway instead.
