Feel free to add to it:https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server/Case_guide/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.>What software should I run?Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.>Why should I have a home server?/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.>Links & resourcesCool stuff to host: https://gitlab.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhostedRouterOS's: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server#Customhttps://reddit.com/r/datahoarderhttps://www.labgopher.comhttps://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/wiki/indexhttps://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/FeaturesList of ARM-based SBCs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PGaVu0sPBEy5GgLM8N-CvHB2FESdlfBOdQKqLziJLhQLow-power x86 systems: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LHvT2fRp7I6Hf18LcSzsNnjp10VI-odvwZpQZKv_NCICheap disks: https://shucks.top/ https://diskprices.com/Some info about PCIE: https://files.catbox.moe/id6o0n.pdfRemember:RAID protects you from DOWNTIMEBACKUPS protect you from DATA LOSS
where and when does someone serve me a home? I'm in debt and struggling.
Do any of you have experience with Puget System's rack-mounted offerings?
recommendations for backpack-able servers? currently considering the gen2 asustor flashtor but worried it won't be powerful enough. ms-01 is the obvious alternative
Ok how many TBs of hard disk storage should I buy? I wanna get Jellyfin-pilled.
>>101461821You can start with 2. I think sweet spot is around 12-18tb each. Not quite sure but it's in that range
my NAS still bussin
Nexcloud seems like a bitch to install and maintain.
>>101461877try thishttps://www.turnkeylinux.org/nextcloud
>>101461875I'm going to release a cat in your computer room.
>>101461482>you know the chinese are going to see the bad shit you look at online and blackmail you to do crimes rightThey're gonna middleman my HTTPS connections and dox my 4chan posts? Oh no
I'm thinking on using an old desktop that's just accumulating dust for my first home server. What's the /g/-approved home server OS? I'm thinking Ubuntu Server perhaps?
>new to home server>go prebuilt because just need a NAS>excited to mess around with self hosting a bit regardless>install docker>install shoko>install komga>turns out that's literally all i neededSo what other cool stuff should I host? I looked at awesome-selfhosted but nothing stood out.
>>101458348>Finally got her, bros>5x2.5Gbps, of which 1 is PoE++ and 3 are PoE+>2xSFP+>1xConsoleDoes it work? Please share your setup experience.>2.5Gbps + PoE++ Damn that would be great hooking up a ridiculously overkill wifi AP. One of those office jobs with two 2.5Gbps ports that's designed for hundreds of simultaneous connections.
What's the cheapest way to get 64+ PCIE lanes? Old Threadripper?
>>101462176I don't like this post.>old desktopUh oh. Likely unsupported and unfit for this purpose.>/g/This is /hsg/, the opinions here are quite different from the rest of the board.>home server OSFor what purpose? You wouldn't have a good time trying to run an Active Directory domain controller with Samba on Ubuntu Server for example, that's what Windows Server is good for.Dedicated hypervisor OSes are better on the host for virtualization. VMware vSphere (ESXi), Hyper-V, Nutanix, Proxmox (the lattermost is not truly enterprise grade but it's getting there).Bare metal / guest operating system: Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS (regrettably – end-of-life), Amazon Linux, Oracle Linux were the five most used in Perforce's OpenLogic open source 2024 report. https://www.openlogic.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/report-ol-state-of-oss-2024.pdfI'm in favor of Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, those get approval at any business to use with enterprise support options, long-term support and kernel livepatching, while Debian and Rocky Linux are community oriented with no commitments to fix any issues timely and no free kernel livepatching options.NAS? It would probably be one of Starwind VSAN Free, TrueNAS, openmediavault, VMware vSAN. (I don't like all of these options.) Some need to be virtualized.Kubernetes? I don't know, aren't you virtualizing that anyway on one of the bare metal / guest operating systems if you're not hardcore to use Talos Linux? OpenShift is also a thing (OKD is the upstream project from Fedora, without subscriptions).
>>101462269pretty much, yes
>>101462269While not good, a cheap way might be a dual Intel Xeon server from Broadwell or later. 40 lanes per processor. 48 lanes per processor for Cascade Lake, to not be better and not e-waste, but more expensive. AMD EPYC otherwise.
what switch should i get that has >10gbit (preferably 40gbit) and vlan support?
>>101462212 online collaborative whiteboard and share it with us so we can all draw home server and home server accessories together
Is your network switch suitable for young people?
>>101462176Ignore the schizo. Just use ubuntu 2x.04 lts. Or whatever you feel like, it'll be fine.

>>101462586>young adults>age 25-4525 year olds are not young adults
>>101462063before i call you a retard for thinking plugging some bootleg shit from china into your computer and upstream connection doesn't involve the capability of directly sending malicious traffic into your equipment i'll just softly remind you that there's still metadata in encrypted connections, not to mention all your DNS queries are in plaintext unless you encrypt those as well.
>>101462393>>101462844do not let any retard talk you into buying brokeaid.what are your power, noise, and media type requirements?
I managed to nuke the /etc/pve/ directory in a staging environment by clicking around in the web UI's cluster configuration and rebooting, not applying any changes in a foreseeable way, while keeping it as a standalone cluster (according to the web UI).Services would then fail to start because PVE's X.509 certificates and keys for the management interface were missing.I suspect an empty cluster configuration file got created in a /var/lib/ directory, and there was no cluster to join to replace /etc/pve/ contents.This hypervisor is shit.
/etc/pve/
/var/lib/
>>101463802>keeping it as a standalone clusterstandalone node *It wasn't joined to anything yet, and I didn't click "create cluster".
>>101463496>metadata>dnsOh no
>>101464009you missed one dingus
>>101463295You're right. You don't even become an adult until 30.
>>101464254This, and even then, many 30+ year olds are still mentally, kids
Will AVX512 be useful or AI or is it a meme to own anything but a haswell xeon
>>101464716*for AI
>>101461797Hooked up to solar?
>https://hub.docker.com/r/dyonr/qbittorrentvpn/is this the easiest way to get torrenting with vpn on my home server without my main connection being a vpn? any downsides with the image using debian 10?
>>101464211Explain in detail what kind of "malicious traffic" it can send if it's hooked up to the WAN, Router, AP, and PC please.
I hope noone is running windows server ittThat would be embarassing
>>101461797What does it even need to do? Just get a tinyminimicro off ebay. I've been meaning to get an Odroid M1S for testing purposes but keep having other obligations. Also you should not travel with data.>>101462176Come join me in Alpine hell.But really any linux you're familiar with will work. Most have a heap of guides about setting up things. Some are more streamlined than others but you generally want to pick the headless server variant.>>101466714Anon had a writeup a few threads ago regarding getting torrents+vpn to work with a few docker composes. There should also be a million guides about it.
>>101467570i just tried that link and it's stuck restarting the service, i'll figure it out in the morning. i know nothing about docker so ive got stuff to learn.
