Any cheapo 8 port 2.5gb managed switch to look for these days? Someone mentioned few threads ago some chink switches on AliExpress but there's so many to choose on that crap!
>>101338910>cheapo>2.5g>there's so many to choose!what else do you want?
>>101338944 (Me)Almost noone uses 2.5g because most (if not all) network/server equipment is either 1g or 10gAdd to the mix Intel's fuckup with I225-V/I226-V and you got almost no reliable 2.5g nic for a home server

>>101339493Hook and loop cable ties, or "velcro" cable ties. I haven't cut off the excess, so it's wrapped around in a bulky manner (for reusability).
I have a few servers that require Java for their onboard KVM. I ran a docker container with the Java version and noVNC and it works well. Should I take this a step further and use a Pi or mini PC as a management bastion? My only concern is that it introduces a SPOF. Generally, how are management networks structured?

>>101339866Which cables are you referring to? If power cables, that's exactly what Dell's reference video shows to do.
>>101339886You didn't check my repo I see, that was years ago. I have an IONOS domain and full DNS CAA. For most people having a contract / plan running in your real world name is not favourable, even though there is a whois protection in place putting some middle man in between my real identity.Next thing is people will explain me my code and say "it is just a wrapper for openssl with extra tweaks like threading". That is the whole point, this code runs even fast on the most outdated Raspberry Pis or the mover overpowered SBCs like the ODROID-H3+ with 2.5Gbit/s eth0 and you don't need to configure endless confs that are longer than my code.There is little chance for misconfiguration.

Everything (minus storage drives) has come in for my epyc build. Will put it together tonight. Hip hip hooray for more wattage pumping into my room.
>>101340014Thank you, I hope it helps people who want quick low wattage solutions. It's not meant to compete with nginx, just for people having fun. Getting as many into /hsg/ as possible before they go big.
>>101338853I don't understand why people have home servers. Wtf do you use them for?
>>101340307Store my data and access it from anywhere
I'm interested in getting a modular switch with 40Gb capability. Was looking at the 5406R zl2, but the QSFP+ capable modules are prohibitively expensive. Any suggestions?
>>101340307SSO (single sign-on) for multiple computers. Central management of devices. Botnet at home.Password manager, with a FIDO2 security key.
You will probably all think Im stupid but I just noticed if I move shit from one drive to another on my server through smb it uses my client devices' connection to do it. Not efficient.Is there a way to do this without using the command line? I just want to bulk dragndrop stuff
>>101340324You can use cheap NAS for that. I mean why do people have server racks running 24/7 at home
>>101340307>backups>access network from anywhere>stream stuff from anywhere>sync data>hoard porn>hoard music>run bots>build personal projects>build custom ISOs>run PXE environment
>>101340406What do you think a NAS is if not a barebones server?Most NAS also cant run my media streaming services I use a refitted sff pc btw

>>101340699skills as in that alexa meme where they pretend a skill is not something an IRC bot had already in 1999 on some kids nixbox
>>101340699let's see>automatic record camwhore streams >automatic backups>remote pfsense management>remote filebrowser>remote webcam image captureNothing cool at all
>>101340774Some seem good enough, though I'd add one with some esp32 that detects noise. Webcam image if there is an intruder or the door bell is activated.Sensor based skills are maybe worth looking into.
>>101340847>Sensor based skills are maybe worth looking into.Certainly, I'll get into this
>>101340307despite storing my data and being able to access them anywhere on any device without carrying about muuh botnet, I use it to host a few shit I wrote. I have a bot that manage a library so users can share books, I have a second one but not as cool. I also develop a few stuff for local associations of my town. Nowadays I'm working on 3 projects, 2 of them I would like to try selling and that requires a server. It's cheaper to host your own shit than paying for it.

Why should I not buy a ton of small consumer MLC SSDs and RAID them?
>>101343870>consumerbecause you could get enterprise ssd's instead
>>101344002Will you pay for them? Because I can't afford to right now
i like them...
>>101344085no, i meant used enterprise ssd's for the same price
>>101342793>>101342823>>101342861>https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.htmlI have a small amount on NVME with swappiness maxed out
the gameplan:>phase 2>>replace unmanaged switch with managed switch>>get rid of dac and connect directly to switch>phase 2.5>>set up vlans on switch in preparation for phase 3>phase 3>>set up one of my old servers as a router with opnsense/pfsense>>connect work laptop directly to switch for LAN connection>>set up my previous secondary router to just be an AP for my work devicesthe thing that kinda fucks me is the APs I bought don't support vlans in AP mode. if they did, I could have the iot devices truly on a different network (they're isolated, but still on 10.x) and just have my work laptop connect to them as well.for the switch, I'm looking at the Mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+RM, which is a little under $200. I don't feel like dealing with ebay shitters, so I'll just buy it new.
Would a 40gig direct connection be enough to fully leverage an all-NVMe storage server?
>brocade 6610 uses 120W when idlewhy so power hungry?
>>101344771how many nvme drives, what connector, what speed of each drive, what raid/zraid setup, and what file system, you fucking retard?
>>101344771>>101344839better question is probably just: what's the max concurrent speed you can attain when testing locally?
>>101344556why wouldnt you get an actual enterprise switch with more features for less money off ebay instead?
>>101344850the ones I've seen on ebay use 100W-200W when idle compared to that mikrotik which only uses 24W idle.I don't want to increase my electricity bill by hundreds of dollars per year before I plug anything in.
>>101344844doesn't account for how many PCIe lanes he's consuming which need to be consumed for his theoretical 40g NIC in the future.
are 4th gen intel CPUs usable for a simple home server (I was thinking on using proxmox with truenas and ubuntu server to host some docker containers)? I have an old i7 3770 + 16 gb of ram but I still need to buy a PSU and a proper case to fit the disks.
>>1013454013770 is 3rd gen but is usable. I got away with a dual core low power 4th gen so yours is even better
>>101344379Link some that are the same price as used consumer drives
>bid on ebay auction>only bidder>win with minimum bid>seller messages me that he cant find the item>refunds mecool
is there a sas expander backplane with chassis that can be easily attached to micro minis with pcie slot
How secure is zerotier for remote access? The only other option I would consider is headscale because tailscale is a botnet, but thats a little above my ability it seems.I just dont want to portforwrd
>>101344556phase 4: throw the rokus into the street
>>101346233no
>>101346203leave that cunt bad feedback, it should encourage him to clean his room and get his shit together.
>>101346233yes >throw the micro mini into the street and drive over it with your car
>>101346651Are you high? He knows exactly where it is. This is an old loophole / scam, when an item sells too cheap.
>>101345401Careful, don't want to be confused with Xeon SP 4th generation (Sapphire Rapids-SP).Also yours are e-waste and without VMware support. Desktop Intel Core processors for desktops, Intel Xeon for servers.
>>101346633Whats a better media client?Theyre all proprietary garbage afaik?
>>101346903>VMware support
>>101339700Generification is a valuable way to combat advertising and diminish the value of "intellectual property".
>>101344861there are plenty of enterprise switches that dont use that much power, what were you looking at?
What's the best way to add nvme storage via a pcie slot? I was thinking of getting one of those 16x - 4 by 4x m.2 riser cards. I've also conidered a riser card for u.2, but I just have no experience with the enterprise ssd space.
>>101344826>brocade 6610if you can stand the noise a juniper EX4200 would be better. my EX4300 uses about 80w idle.
>>101348984the less distance and the less connectors and no flex cables is best.
>>101349053I intend to fill pretty much every mount in my case with hdd's so I wanted a solution like picrel. Preferable single slot so I can fit two of them in my top two slots. I'm partial to the m.2 option as it gives me more individual drives to play with. The usecase is vm storage, better latency storage than hdd's for main pc as I don't want local storage for my next build, and zfs metadata disk. Also I think it would look cool.
>>101349161Well this is okay but you are crazy for thinking it will work as you think.You don't understand how PCIe works. 90% in this thread DON'T comprehend PCIe.Mandatory reading for all in here, after that you tell me I am wrong:https://files.catbox.moe/id6o0n.pdf
>>101349195this PDF needs to be in OP. are you here OP?
>>101349195I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure it'll work.
>>101349303If you bought an expensive mainboard that supports it, it supports it.If you bought a sub 200 bucks board, natrually why would it come with a 200 bucks multiplexer chip that allows for bifurcation?But it is clear to me you did NOT read the PDF or did NOT understand it.Just because one slot supports it, doesn't mean you can run arbitrary combinations.Do you have a graphics card in another slot?Any other PCIe devices installed already?Those will fuck up your bifurcation.page 98 and page 100 are clear about this.So you posted me slot examples. Where is the TABLE of allowed combinations?
>>101349362It's an epyc 7402 system on a supermicro h12ssl-i motherboard. I haven't seen anything in the manual that would indicate that it doesn't work.https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/EPYC7000/MNL-2314.pdf
>>101349420well that is a long-winded way of telling me that the slots are emptyof course it will work if there are no other devices consuming bandwidth
After needlessly shitting on you and feeling bad I can still berate you not to get riser cables but angled adapters as they are shorter and connect better whilst avoiding crosstalk.
>>101349451I've got 128 gen 4 lanes. The motherboard says it supports bifurcation on all the slots. Pretty sure it'll work and you're acting a lot like pci-e schizo rn.
>>101349538I have no idea why this would be useful to me unless I wanted to block all my pcie slots.
>>101349633I am on a motherfucking "gayming" mainboard. Of course I am "limited". Obviously the server board would support it, unless it is trash.
>>101348984>riser cards. I've also conidered a riser card>>101349641am I talking to the same people here?
Hey look at that, I bifurcated them!
>>101349663I told you I was on a server platform and you just replied >well that is a long-winded way of telling me that the slots are emptyof course it will work if there are no other devices consuming bandwidth>I can still berate you not to get riser cables but angled adaptersI never mentioned cables. In fact I specifically mentioned I wanted the drives mounted on the slot as the rest of my mounts were going to be full of hdd's.Also god damn they make 4 slot u.2 cards
Red pill me on buying a bunch of mini pcs to use as a server cluster. I keep noticing local listings to buy them in bulk for cheap but what's the catch? Do these things overheat easy? Why isn't everyone doing this?
>>101349763No. Server hardware in an e-atx case looks better.
>>101349763No. These are intended to be used as thin-clients or desktop PCs with Windows 10 or 11.No VMware support for vSAN or vSphere (ESXi).They are not efficient to be used in datacenters.Some are e-waste. Bought in bulk and dumped by businesses at next hardware refresh 3-4 years after use.Minimal expansion capability. Typically no ECC memory support.
>>101349763Go for it
>>101349261yes I will add it
>>101349763most minimal functionality possible will impose a skill ceiling
>>101346903>>101349908Shut up nobody cares>>101349908Let's see>what's the catch?No upgreadability in the long run, specially storage-wise>Do these things overheat easy? They are more prone to reach thermal throttling when dealing with high loads like compiling or running a MC server>Why isn't everyone doing this?See above, also, serviceability can be a pain in the ass.Ex: One of my node's motherboard died on a thunderstorm. Solution? Get a second hand one. Easy and cheap

Can I use oracle's free cloud service as a gateway to connect to my home server stuff without using a vpn? (I know I can use a domain name to connect to an oracle cloud server)And, I've got an old pc which I can repurpose into a full-fledged server, do I need a dedicated GPU for it for media? What about minecraft/etc? And should I run everything on a single ubuntu server (for instance) and dockerize whatever I wanna run, or do I go the proxmox route?
>>101353726seems expensive for a single socket Haswell, i've swapped my PC for ML110 Gen9 recently for ~100 euros (central europe, non-reduntant PSU option was even cheaper).I've upgraded it to E5-2697A, 64GB ECC RAM and still costed me less than 300$ total.Don't know the pricing in your region, but here's some broadwell workstations i found in my country at ~100$: Fujitsu Celsius M740n, HP Z440, Dell T5810, HP ML110 Gen9. Maybe you can find some of them at reasonable price?As for thoughs/opinions, i don't like HP's iLO 4 compared to Dell's iDRAC. For example, to get manual fan control you have to patch and flash your iLO firmware. It's easy, but still a chore. There was no HTML5 KVM out of the box, had to update the firmware to get it (javashit just refused to work). Power monitor doesn't work for some reason on my machine.
>>101353726sounds nice for a starter homeserver see >>101353917
>>101354024>Can I use oracle's free cloud service as a gateway to connect to my home server stuff without using a vpn?As a reverse proxy? Sure, if you can handle losing the gateway at any point in time. Because that's the a major drawback with those "free" tier offerings from Oracle. It's not exactly what you'd call reliable.>do I need a dedicated GPU for it for media?If you want it to serve media (encoding and stuff like that), yes. If it's just for storing the media files, it's not necessary. For example, you'll need one for Jellyfin, but if you're attaching the media location as a networked drive, it's not needed.>What about minecraft/etc?Depends on the service in question. And you'd have to look at their documentation to find it out. For example, the Minecraft Fandom wiki has a list of hardware requirements. For any other service, similar things are likely to exist.>And should I run everything on a single ubuntu server (for instance) and dockerize whatever I wanna run, or do I go the proxmox route?Pros and cons exist for everything. If you have no particular requirements, just go with whatever seems easiest at start. You can always rebuild everything and start from scratch.

vms vs containers in proxmox. what's the verdict?
>>101356358those X99 frankenboards come with LGA2011-3, not LGA3647, a gen earlier i believe.For the price of those boards you can get yourself a genuine LGA2011-3 workstation though (at least where i live), so i see no point in getting these (well, aside from them being standard ATX, that's their only upside)
>>101356409>containers should not be run on baremetal >containers should be run inside vm's

>>101356484It's the same
>>101356274The era of cheap mobos is going to come to an end.Hyperscalers use very proprietary system form factors nowadays that go straight to recyclers once they are done with it. They aren't reselling them.

Leftmost rack is compute trays with TPU accelerators next rack over. Batteries at the very bottom which share the DC bus, switches on top.Companies work directly with suppliers' to get things manufactured like quanta or FoxconnOther places like amazon or microsoft is not going to look similar but follow the same premise, everything built for a very specific purpose.Really sucks unfortunately for the future, but this is why you can have such insanely cheap CPUs cause their hosts are shredded. Old Haswell stuff was sorta the start of this being an issue so maybe a demand for boards means china will pick up the slack

>>101357362thanks, fascinating>this is why you can have such insanely cheap CPUs cause their hosts are shreddedwhy would they go through the chore of taking the CPUs out? It's not like they're making much money from reselling them.I always assumed those gold 6138 are cheap because enterprises upgraded to 2nd gen Xeon Platinums or something while keeping their LGA3647 systems.
>>101356362Ty
How true is it that heat cycles are worse for your hardware than a constant temperature 24/7? Should I power down my NAS when im not using it or just leave it on?
>>101357521>why would they go through the chore of taking the CPUs out?Most recyclers will choose resale when allowed and it makes sense.Even if you sold CPUs for $20 that's exceedingly way more than their value as scrap. CPUs aren't proprietary so no company is giving away their secrets selling them or allowing others to sell, they are also piss easy to store.
>>101357471oh ok, i also got a third one doing nothing, but its just a weakass minipc. i've thought about changing votes to have a "dominant and recessive" (2+1), but all clustering stuff seems to require 3 regular nodes.

>>101357840yeah, i've tried them a biti just made a python script to make templates and vms, so it made it a lot easier to spin up fresh vmsbut the single purpose lxc containers are in a sweet spot between docker containers and vm images, that's for sure
I see the point of containers. I still feel like I don't need to use them. Their point is if you need to set up a fuck ton of machines. For me it is an extra layer I don't need on my baremetal. I'm just that good to set it up all directly.Having 10 services only makes life easy as well.

Thoughts on NixOS for server usage? Being able to keep all your configurations in one file and one language seems very convenient and it seems like being able to spin up the same services again quickly if the server breaks is convenient.
>>101359773There's additional software that provides that particular feature of NixOS, without having to spend the amount of time NixOS requires. Further, the fact that it is not widely deployed in server environments in comparison to Debian or Ubuntu makes it a no-go

As for me my modem/router started crapping out adn dropping connections after a few days very consistently so instead of buying a new one I got a script to reboot it every morning at 5am and sometimes I crashes at 7am so when I'm at work I have to wait until the next day until i can use it again which is VERY annoying but I can't afford the netgate I want rn or a new AP.
>>101357793>QNAP jbods maybe? There's also rack jbods that should take external sas/sff cables.thanks i hate qnap i think its overpriced and soulless shit, but i'll look into the rack jbods
>>101363028i don't mind qnap and synology but it would be better if you could just buy the hardware and run stock debian on it, their web gui is kinda gaydon't need it for mdadm and samba, just want low power hardware and nice cases
>gay porn removedWhat sort of jannie is this?
>>101360984>optane for zfs special device storagewhat is it about those that people always use them for cache / special vdevs? really high write endurance or something?
>>101364149that's literally what the specs tell you to use them for, d'uhhhhhhhhhhh
>>101364149Write endurance is a part of it but Optane is also extremely low latency.A very old Intel 905P Optane drive still has over double the 4k Q1T1 reads of the newest and highest end NAND based SSD
>>101364149High wright endurance (basically unlimited compare to nand) and very low latency. eyeops. I think I'm going to raid0 some 400GB p5800x's for my new desktop build I'm going to dp in the fall/winter. They're ~$550 new on ebay.
>>101363028You can do that with QNAP, pretty easily as well. That's kinda the point. You'd be mad to use QNAP's software either way. Synology are a bit more locked down though, their software is actually good and you pay for that more than the hardware, which is pretty mid for what it costs.
>>101364149It's so fast that it's more accurate to call it persistent RAM, rather than normal storage. it's an honest tragedy it was canned. I still don't understand why and will probably go down a rabbithole finding out tonight.
>>101364347It was... too popular??
>>101364347yeah, i don't get it either. I couldn't lay my hands on datacenter ones, but even those dirt cheap consumer laptop Optane M10 have very low latency, i use one as metadata-only L2ARC in my zpool.
>>101364471From my brief reading it seems like the technology was incredible, but still niche. RAM was/is cheap enough and still faster than optane so it made more sense to use that in the enterprise. There was a market for optane obviously but apparently not enough of one to warrant expanding production, so despite being at capacity and selling it well there was not a predictable future. I kinda get it, but it still sucks because it was so good in the niche it filled.

It ended up being>i7 7700es>gigabyte z170x gaming 3>2x4GB of ddr4 3400 ripjaws>some shitty old thermaltake caseI threw in a psu and 2x4tb wd red drives. I decided to install proxmox as I decided I wanted to do more once I set up the seedbox.
>>101365628I had a intel i7-5820k / 780ti housefire in southern california in 2010-ish and I got tired of leaving it on to stream plex / movies for my wife and kids. Our AC broke down one heatwave and the thing was overheating. Googled around and found this wretched site which led me to Truenas.Bought a TS140 for $190 shipped back then:(Xeon e3-1200) 16gb ecc ddr3 added a feww hard drives and I was up and running.I was a total noob and had no experience with unix/linus so there was teething pain with all the jail / permissions / bugs bullshit plex media server and truenas threw your way.

I'm retarded and thought I was updating my containers simply by doing>docker compose down>docker compose up -dNow I realize I need to actually pull the new ones. This gets into "patch management" though. So I wonder, how often do you update your containers? Are there some that are notoriously volatile so you keep them pinned?If I want to "rehydrate" my containers, say weekly, do I just setup a cron job to run a bash script to execute> docker compose pull> docker compose up --force-recreate --build -dOr do I need something more sophisticated?

>>101338853I have SWAG setup on unraid (https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/swag/) and when I go to domain.com it redirects to SSL and works fine but if I go to domain.com:port it no longer does, how do I fix this? I'd prefer not to use subdomains
>>101367334Do you want subfolders instead?I just setup swag and am a noob but I'm not understanding how you'd map your services to different URLs if not using subdomains or subfolders. Are you trying to do a unique domain per service?
>>101367368Kind of but I don't know how, I have my domain but all my services in unraid are accessible through ip:port so I don't know how I make my sub.domain.com go to an ip:port
>>101367391Yeah, the component you're missing in an internal DNS server. When hosting things on the internet, usually your hosting probider can arrange that for you. But if you are just trying to set it up on your home network, you need something to tell your traffic how to route to where it needs to go.I have an OPNsense router setup for this and use Unbound to manage my list. But I think you can achieve something similar with an adguard container and some minor settings on your ISP supplied router if that's your case?You basically need to make dns rules that sent plex.anon.com to your reverse proxy IP so it can hndle it for you. Maybe another anon can help depending on your setup because I only know OPNsense.

I'm this retard: >>101327569Played around with trunking and VLANs, but I was too stupid to realize how crucial the OPNSense box was for making this work, so I made little progress other than having VLANs ready and knowing how to use trunking (I hope).Anyway, biggest issue now is how to properly pass two NICs directly to the OPNSense VM on the box (host is Guix). Thought I could do this through Virtual Manager's Networking settings, but it doesn't seem like it. Tried adding two macvtap devices on the guest and booting OPNSense. I get Internet to the WAN port, so it seems to work, but I didn't expect to still have Internet on the host...amidoingitriteguise?
>>101370504I have 4G fiber WAN, the ISP provides some (definitely not) Chinese integrated media converter that also terminates the XGs-PON. But if you remove it you can get access to the single mode fiber underneath, I have it connected to an SFP+ module which I had to make a support ticket for to get the serial number activated.

You can otherwise interface directly with the fiber with the right transciverMakes things a little easier, debated on a NIC for a router and I guess any 10g SFP+ NIC would be the most flexible. Can use 1g modules in the meantime with no issues I hope.An SFP+ NIC was always the most obvious choice but I do not trust 10Gbase-t modules to be reliable on NICs if I had to use copper even if they do allow the new 2.5g/5g on otherwise 1g/10g only NICsUnless anyone knows of a NIC that wouldn't falter delivering the necessary power to those modules

Picked up a raspberry pi 5 the other day and got a set that comes with a case and a fan without looking anything up because why not, and turns out the case already has a fan so now I've got two fans that can't be used together. No clue why the site was selling both items together as a set when you only need one of them, but whatever. Which one of these is better? The caseless fan has a slightly bigger heatsink, but no case.
