So the ONT (Optical Network Terminator) does what it says and comes in many forms. But in your case it looks like it does a little more, it has phone lines, multiple Ethernet lines, and I think I see RF video. My best guess is that it's actually a router with an ONT they've stuffed in the box. Before you go and rip it out call them/make a support ticket, and ask if you're allowed to do it, and what hardware they expect. No use guessing the wavelength and protocol on the fiber if they also require a some other authentication.

>>101372678
>>101373628
In Europe the ISP is required to allow you to use your own equipment, al long as you help verify it won't impact their equipment (I.E. pumping way too many watts down the fiber). They don't provide support if anything fails, you'll first have to switch back to the media converter ONT and router they provided. I do have to use a unit with special firmware, as the ISP incorrectly set the PPPoE quality.
Check out some local user groups or tech forums, someone might just be selling pre-flashed equipment.

What are these chink fanless mini PCs like? Thinking of getting one as a NAS. I like the fanless aspect of it, one less thing that might break in the future. Low power low capability CPU is fine, it's just for a home NAS, will sit idle most of the time.
I'm thinking more in terms of reliability/longevity, build quality, and safety.

>reliability/longevity
Will they last forever or do they have a tendency to crap out after a few years?
>build quality
I don't expect a luxurious product but is the quality control good? Ports will most likely be fine etc?

Chinkshit often comes with dodgy power supplies, especially UK power supplies or at least plugs. Will I be able to use a generic, reliable power supply from here for it? Also what is the other safety like. Is it safe in terms of power or could I get electrocuted by touching its metal body if I get a bad one that slipped through quality control?

>>101380149

>>101380149
to me as a NAS they're a bad idea. to be fair I have no idea if they have SATA connectors available on the inside but I'd want HDDs attached with SATA instead of USB.
it probably won't melt in your hands, ports and such. regarding power, you just need to match voltage and provide equal or more amps than the original AC adapter. and match the the barrel connector. it won't electrocute you (hard) since the AC side is behind the AC adapter.

Overall good as said before, shit break loose with BIOS support and other stuff. Ref.: Got a chink celery mini pc for a proxmox node and turned out that the Power ON AC didn't work with the bundled BIOS, thankfully the chink company aknowledged this and had a website with toddler-tier instructions on how to update the BIOS just for the fucking feature. A mess if you ask me.

Now as for that particular device it seems it is mostly geared towards a router instead of a NAS given its dual LAN ports. I'd personally use it as a Proxmox node withe virtual pfSense if it has the power to run it, otherwise perfect for a pfSense only box

I am *very* new to anything to do with servers, networking etc.

Can somebody in simple terms explain pic related:

The third entry 192.168.88.0/24 is address space where my pc is located (my pc is 192.168.88.250), it connects to bridge which is 192.168.88.1 (my router)

Second entry is the 192.168.42.0/24 is where my router is located (my router ip 192.168.42.167) , it connects to gateway 192.168.42.129 which is my isp router that provides internet

As I understand these are two "networks", first is where my pc acts as dhcp client and router as dhcp server, second is where my router is dhcp client and my isp router is dhcp server

But what is the first entry?
0.0.0.0/0 ? I know it's all the addresses but why is this entry needed for it to work (so that my pc can reach the internet)?
Why is it called destination address when the destination should be my isp router which is 192.168.42.129 ? Which way the traffic flows? Is it from the "destination address" 0.0.0.0/0 to isp router or from the isp router to 0.0.0.0 ?
Pls help the noob out

>>101382023
Don't think about networks. Think about routes. Because that's what the image contains, a list of routes.
>But what is the first entry?
Default Gateway, basically.
>but why is this entry needed for it to work (so that my pc can reach the internet)?
The two 192.168 routes that are directly connected should be obvious enough:
Any packets that need to reach the a destination address matching 192.168.(whatever).0/24 are forwarded to the correct interface. Since they are Directly connected, it's not exactly rocket science why it happens.
But if you want to connect to another IP not from those two /24 subnets? That's where the 0.0.0.0/0 comes into play. It's going to catch every single IP not mentioned by any other rule.
>Why is it called destination address when the destination should be my isp router which is 192.168.42.129 ?
The destination, as in where it's supposed to end up in. Not the next hop on the journey to get there, which is what the ISP router is going to be.
>Which way the traffic flows? Is it from the "destination address" 0.0.0.0/0 to isp router or from the isp router to 0.0.0.0 ?
Stop that train of thought, and consider subnet masks.
All zeroes means that everything will match. And on the opposite end, there's the /32 mask, which is used to specify a single host.
Two scenarios.
>Device A at 192.168.88.50 is trying to ping the router
The packets have a Dst Address of 192.168.88.1, which belongs to a router interface, and is related to that bridge. In both the originating packets and the responses, the Dst. Address will match the 192.168.88.0/24 mask, and will be directed towards the bridge interface.
>Same device, but is trying to ping some public IP (like 8.8.8.8)
The packets have a Dst Address of 8.8.8.8, and the only rule that can be applied is the default GW. And those packets are going to be forwarded to 192.168.42.129, who is going to forward them up the chain until it reaches the destination.
Dst. IP is not changed at any point in time.

I'm sure Proxmox is great, but my autistic ass insisted on doing Guix host with Virtual Manager. I especially like the idea of entering the VM remotely by ssh and having it on my laptop's virt-manager as though it was just another normal VM there.

Might follow this guide:

Looks like most of the stuff you need to configure is on the host. Guest just needs to NIC bridges.

>>101385869
>though it was just another normal VM there
For every other VM this is true, for opnSense or any other router OS definitely not, even more so if you're planning to use VLAN's.

Your setup will differ a lot than that one because
>That has a lot of eth ports
>No VLAN setup
VLAN configuration varies from host to host depending which network configuration the OS is using, for proper troubleshooting you'd have to send us:
>Your host's network configuration

>>101378476
If all you want to do is learn and setup locally, you can use a VM or container (Docker or Podman). It costs nothing, you can have as many VMs or containers as your rig can handle, if something goes wrong you can roll back to a snapshot (if you have them enabled), there's absolutely no reason to buy an under powered pi when your main rig will absolutely smoke it in performance virtually. At the end of the day, unless you're renting a dedicated server, or building one yourself for home use and installing on bare metal, you'll be using a virtual server from a hosting company. And even if you rent or buy a dedicated server, most people with any sense will use containers for a smaller attack surface.

>>101386388
if you already have a database installed, use it. If not, sqlite will work, but having a proper database might be better in the long run

I like to put things I actually serve/host on a zpool made of enterprise SSDs, and store backups/offline storage on zpools made of HDDs. You don't necessarily need pools/zfs/vdevs either, your call - you can use pooling/raid software or just run what you need off of a single drive or a mirror.
The choice of sata/sas/nvme connectivity should be made by your budget and how fast you want to be able to read from or write to your storage media.

No luck, same exact behavior. I was getting an OpenCL error when trying to transcode, so I added the entire /dev/dri as a link to the compose YAML, which got past that. Now I'm getting "Error submitting video frame to the encoder."

>>101393291
I started thinking this was the issue. I tried a chmod 0777 on everything in /dev/dri to confirm, no change in the behavior. I use docker compose for this image and tried blasting it away and forcing a rebuild, including pulling the latest container, which also didn't work. Below is my docker compose:

>>101393315
yeah I have no idea where the problem originated as I don't recall updating the container, it maybe was a linux update that changed something? Try running the container as root. HW transcode worked when I did that so I'm almost certain it was to do with permissions getting messed up.

Also I'm pretty sure chmod on drivers is not persistent between boots. But you really shouldn't do things like to force it to work you can end up making the problems worse if you make sweeping permission changes. Or at the very least make things less secure.

Yeah, I only did that just now to see if it would help, and it did not. Tried running as root, which gave me the same error. Seems it isn't permissions, but I'm at the end of my rope here. Guess it's time to blow the whole VM away and start from scratch, but this time with Debian instead since it will probably just fucking work

For HDDs, if you not buying high capacity drives, you're getting screwed on pricing. That is just the reality now.
HDDs like WD reds. You're paying an inflated price because they are giving you a large range of options for capacity and spindle speeds.
WD has to keep a special manufacturing line to give you those options and the value is worse because of it.

20TB and up HDDs get you the best price per TB at the moment because they are currently in mass production for DCs and hyperscalers. 20TB Exos drives where $300 brand new at one point pretty recently

i want to get into having a real backup system.
i've got an external 10 TB HDD, and about 15 GB of really ultra valuable stuff which is important to me (pictures, videos, documents, etc).
what i do is at the start of the new year, and on the 4th of july, i take that folder, zip it, and paste a new copy into the 10 TB hdd. i never overwrite, just another new zip.

this is a terrible solution, but i normally just try not to think about it.

what should i read up on to achieve my backup goals? i'd ideally never have to think about it. my mission critical folder gets sent into storage automatically, and i can be confident that even if something devastating happens, i can retrieve the data. i realize i need offsite backups and stuff too, but i can cross that bridge later.

i find it really daunting to read about all the file systems and storage pools and drive arrays and shit. i get decision paralysis and then just kick the can down the road to deal with it later.

>>101398490

So Truecharts apps are now "depreciated" from working with Truenas Scale. Guess that means whatever app version I've got is "it" far as updates goes. Oh well. The only one I kept "up-to-date" was Plex but that comes from XI systems.

I want to get on that kioxia ssd game. Anyone have any experience with them? What kind of raid controllers work well with them? If I needed something nastier than an HBA I would obviously just flash it for IT mode, but I'm unsure how to plot out what would be a reasonable card for something like a single gen 5 pcie x16 slot, or a x8 gen 4 - no idea where the limits lie. I've used LSI HBAs for sata devices at 3.0x8 slot profiles, but this is obviously a ton of extra throughput, given kioxia and all that.

Whats the sweet spot for TB/$? I've been out of the hardware scene for years. Right now I just have a single 2TB hard drive thats almost full. My plan was to buy 2 8TB hard drives in raid1, but I see that there are much larger size drives now.

For some reason all sata controllers are all lemon scented.
Some people say they work fine, I had the same idea because how the fuck can you screw up a sata chipset until I bought a PCIe sata card and it worked for a day until giving all my HDDs IO errors and never worked again.

It's a big mystery as to why these chips are so bad, I tough it might just be an implementation issue and generic sata cards have the most issues but issues also plague motherboards from big brands when they are integrated for more sata ports

>>101376876
Get a used U.2 2.5" ssd and a way to connect it. It will take a pcie slot instead. Cheapest would be a $60 disk and a $15 cable or caddie. But be aware they eat more juice than spinning rust but won't degrade in a home environment.
If you really don't care just get a handful of sata ssds off ebay and pitch them as you burn through them.

If you only have 15GB of data to backup you don't really need to worry that much about drive arrays etc, as it will easily fit on a single drive.

I'd read up on backup software that fits your needs. Keep using the external HDD you already have and create a working setup. After that you can start thinking about your threat profile, e.g. what kind of disaster do I want to protect myself from, and change/add to your storage plan later.

Or keep it as is and directly use the EGPU to connect two A6000s through Thunderbolt 4.

wth is that?

XI systems its a like/hate thing. I've used the product for years going back to the 8.x days. Irony, the old versions were a hell of a lot simpler to roll out. Wanted to use Plex? Simply download the Plugin package and configure a few data mount points. Bobs your uncle. You could also download the plugin package locally and install it from within the system; no internet/chart site required. Now? Apps are tied to online repos. God help you if those repos die or whatever. Your limited to whatever apps XI "officially" says works now that the community TrueCharts site repo is now "deprecated". One area Windows excels at; install the system, install your applications. Make a system restore image. Now if the worst happens simply restore the system from the image. Apps,etc back up and rolling. Irony, Freenas v 9x had a full system backup option built in. Never really caught on.

catalyst 3850s are starting to look REALLY cheap and some models (48uxm or some shit) come with 12x 1/2.5/5/10gb copper ports... if you have a buddy with a cisco software login, you'd be golden for wifi 6e-7 APs

Can I get a babby wallthrpugh of what I should do or a good tutorial series? Kinda overwhelmed. Should everything converge onto the NAS then use something like backblaze? I also see Proxmox Backup Server is a thing.

To clarify, I know how to format and mount drives, I just don't know what filesystem is appropriate use, and if it's the host or guest that should be managing that filesystem.

hey im a server noob here, with a little experience setting up cloud file server for my company, and i was awarded with my company's old server. it's pretty low spec as far as i can tell and i have a few things id like to do with it. any suggested upgrades? right now its got a xeon e5 2620v3 and 16 gig ram, ill definitely add more ram since I want to play around with virtualization, and im wondering if i would be better off spending more on a more powerful cpu, or using 2 less powerful cpus. some of my intended applications are nas, nvr, vpn (to access nas and nvr remotely), im also interested in running a tak server. its an hp proliant dl360 gen9. any suggestions are appreciated

>>101411520
I would use ZFS and research that. I'd just mirror your drives into a pool. Then you can split up the bulk storage pool as needed.

>>101411675
>im wondering if i would be better off spending more on a more powerful cpu, or using 2 less powerful cpus.
I would get a second 2620 v3, they're quite cheap and efficient

I mean at least with regards to zfs (which I enjoy) you have at least 2 options in proxmox:
>use something like starwind vsan free/truenas/omv that has some gui feature for zpool creation/management
or
>anything debian based and creating/managing the pools with bash
I use the latter, but I'm running xubuntu on bare metal so the decision was effectively made for me. It's not nightmarishly difficult or anything, you can totally make it work with a few youtube videos and some time in the man-pages but it will never be as easy as just using some gui with zfs built in.

>>101411404
What NAS OS are you using? If all you need is NFS/SMB then ZFS can do that from the proxmox host without needing another OS at all. If you're still set on having a NAS OS you can create a ZFS subvolume and pass it to the container/VM as a block device. You can grow the subvolume live too without needing a VM reboot. There's very few reasons to ever have ZFS on top of ZFS.

>>101412741
That sounds like the solution I need. I was thinking the overhead of a NAS OS probably isn't worth it for two drives. NFS/SMB/SFTP will cover all of my use cases.

ZFS: there's no way to migrate a dataset from 128k to 1M recordsize while keeping the snapshots, right? `zfs send` doesn't change the recordsize of files, they are still 128k in zdb.
Unless I do something like:
>mount 128k_dataset@snap1
>`rsync --archive --delete` that to 1M_dataset
>zfs snapshot 1M_dataset@snap1
>repeat for every snapshot
that should work, right?

no, to use any features like appid and signature based filtering you will need a license. that goes the same for any firewall besides suricata/snort on freeware firewalls.

this is what I've strung together in the very few hours of research that was done https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/7H3wdH

Thanks for the info anon. You aware of any cracks or something to enable this function or is it a cloud function?

>>101414473
that's what SQM effectively does

>>101413472
you can shape outgoing traffic, sadly there's no good way of shaping incoming traffic (downloads).
If you have 100Mbps Internet down link, dropping packets on your end won't do much, as the packet has already gone through 100Mbps link, using up the bandwidth.
Best you can do is to enforce bandwidth limits inside applications.

>>101414522
i hear you, but i used QoS before, and SQM manages to work better while not requiring a bunch of manual rules that need constant maintenance

>>101414522
you can shape inbound with a proper router. crappy prosumer ones wont do it.

>>101414536
this is just dumb buffer management. DSCP based WRED QoS would be better for your purposes because it would prioritize realtime traffic. also, you can police your individual links to a certain allotted bandwidth which is much more fair than relying on fair-queue (which QoS does better). that's two rules for policing. a single rule for DSCP based WRED. requires no nuance.

>>101414665
>DSCP based WRED QoS would be better for your purposes

You can find used 8TB drives on your ebay for around $80 each. I would get 4 of those.

Get a small nvme drive for your whatever NAS OS.
Get a "gold" power supply.

I have one I turned into a robot controller, they are top quality. The thing with SoC based systems is that there is far less things they can fuck up, everything is in the cpu package so no opportunity for shit pcie routing, you can run audio over hdmi so no issues with drivers, use your own wifi card for the same reasons and more often than not the bios is far more flexible than better known oems because they don't hide things you might actually need. For my application I needed all of the power saving and autistic dynamic clock speed shit to be off in order for my robot to maintain sub 10uS jitter so as to not shake itself apart due to drift, good fucking luck getting that to work on a dell mini pc.

I think it should work. My mini PC has 4 ports, but in my case the LAN port will likely go to the switch's WAN port. I'd probably have the management port connected to the switch though and on the management VLAN together with my PiKVM.

Anyway, for now I'm really stuck on how to configure sysctl and stuff on Guix. Apparently sysctl-service-type is an unbound variable, so copy&pasting from the Guix manual to the system.scm file's services section is useless.

Guix was a mistake, lol.

NAS parts all arrive tomorrow lads
What I have is tremendously overkill but idc

>>101419418

>>101419496
Well lad, it's my first NAS build so:

>Fractal R7 for more drive storage
>32GB DDR5
>i5-12400 with UHD700 for video decoding (no GPU to spare)
>2x 12TB HDDs (data and parity)
>2x 500gb NVME SSDs (caching and parity)

I was told what I have is massively overkill -- and I'd agree -- but I see this system lasting me many at least a few good years, especially with my mobo have 8x SATA ports.

I plan to run everything I do in a VM managed inside Unraid. I've used it to do small servers before but this'll be a first with capacity of this size

>>101419705
It's going to do a lot:

>Full arr-stack for acquiring media
>Jellyfin media playback to my lan for around 6x users at a time
>Music playback across the network
>VMs running things better left outside of a Docker stack like Home Assistant on a Debian VM, which are their own beast
>VPN server
>Chucking my Pi in the case so it'll power my DNS and DHCP servers

There's nothing on bare metal on my NAS, and I think that's how it's supposed to be done? I'm not sure -- I've only ever used Unraid off a Flashdrive, but everything, EVERYTHING is going to be in a VM.

>and how much were the 12TB drives?
Around $230 burgers at Microcenter for being on sale

I need to update or replace my RPi. I do not have the space for a MicroSever. I currently have :
1# RPi4 with an USB dock serving as a NAS (Samba) and Cloud (Seafile), accessible remotely with ZeroTier, another external HDD and MEGAcmd for backup.
2# RPi4 with qBitorrent and WireGuard client, downloading then moving the files to the NAS.
3# RPi0 with Piyhole with the DHCP service enabled.

I'm probably going to buy a Synology 923+ but I don't know what services should I put on it, on Docker, or keep baremetal on the RPi :
1# Syno for NAS, Cloud (Syno Drive), Docker + qBitorrent + WireGuard client, backup to the external HDD and to C2 Storage instead of MEGA.
2# RPi4 with Pi-hole + WireGuard "server", split-tunnel for our laptops, full-tunnel for our smartphones.
3#? Maybe another Pi-hole on Docker for redundancy

Any opinions ?

Should I ditch Pi-hole for AdGuard Home ?

Hmm so XI systems done away with Rsync. Bummer cause that's what I use to backup the server. It don't care that one system runs Freenas 9x or another runs 11.2. Rsync is Rsync. Replication does care. So that's why I don't use it. Now they're doing away with the apps thing and moving to something else.Which bummer cause my existing apps all work and who's to say they'd get ported to the new system. The only app I keep up to date is Plex.
