>NAS Case Guide. 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?
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.

In a high vibration environment (running while in motion, or on top of a truck with a generator right next to it), SSD's are just one part of the puzzle. Spinning disks aren't that reliable, especially when you have to consider potholes and other obstacles.
Apart from SSD's, there are two major aspects that are different in a stationary home environment. Power, and connectivity.
Since you are limited in space and already have a source of power (12V), there is no need to go for Alternating Current. This means you can skip the inverter, and just power the NUC/tiny device from the local electrical system.
While this may limit the type of devices you can use, those tiny machines are obviously the best option available. Unless you're dealing with a mobile data center full of racks.
And then there's the connectivity/networking aspect. The power part is still relevant. If you're not using an inverter for the "servers", there's no point in getting one for just the networking gear. An "industrial" 4G router for external connectivity, another "industrial" switch to connect the device(s), all powered by a local battery, and wired with Ethernet (no point to rely on Wi-Fi if you need to run cables anyway), should result in a similar environment as a typical stationary home server.
It's a bit more complex due to the electrical work, but having a home server in a vehicle is definitely doable.

Dunno what case+psu to choose, it's actually cheaper to do dual 850w psu in parallel rather than a single 1650 but I don't know if they will all fit. I'm looking into a tower case. Any advice? Would a 4U be quieter? It has to be in the living room so I want it to be reasonably quiet when idle. I haven't built a server before but I've worked with one hands on cuz of my previous job.

If you want redundant psus, you will want one of the chassis from Supermicro. Note that redundant means one psu could turn off and it would still power the system, not that you're relying on both to provide enough juice.
Also I hope you understand this doesn't need to be in your living room just so you can play some games off of it.

How does this look?
I'm planning on building a new NAS. I'll get another 24 bay hotswap case with SAS backplanes.
Not included here is the case, 3 LSI SAS cards, and a 10GBe card.
To start with I'll get 8 of the new 24TB seagate drives. I think this time I'll run them as z1 + z1 with mergerfs on top of them. My last server had 20 4TB drives split into two 10 disk z2 vdevs, and I feel like I shot myself in the foot with that configuration. I want something more easily expandable.

It should barely make any noise when idle, except for the HDD, not much you can do about that. Something like >>101578746 should be fine for noise as long as you don't have those pointless shitty tiny exhaust fans. Better yet, get a case with the biggest intake fans possible (more airflow, less high pitched noise). For bonus points, take the GPU fans/shrouds off.

I am looking to finally switch from a desktop tower case to something I can put in a rack. Thinking of just buying the Rosewill 4U server racks. I have 6 HDDs at the moment but I do plan to slowly upgrade to 16 HDDs. Problem is they don't have 16 Bays and max they sell is 15. Should I just buy two 9 bays, $140/ea and only have room to add 2 extra HDD if I ever want to OR buy the 15 bay one for $250 and when I need to have that last HDD slot I can buy another one and have 14 more bays for the far, far future? I don't really see myself having more than 16 HDDs but if it does happen I don't have to think about getting another case.

It wouldn't even matter if they failed at a higher rate.

It's been a while since I looked into generic chassis like that, but there are other options out there if you don't mind buying used. Supermicro has some cases with ridiculous amounts of 3.5" bays and sometimes you'll get lucky and some decomissioned custom chassis will hit the market en masse. I feel like Backblaze was one provider that occasionally dumps their old hardware onto the market and they're designed first and foremost to hold a lot of 3.5" disks.

I guess another question is do you really need 16 drives? Or could you make do with a smaller amount of larger drives? If you're counting system drives, you might consider PCIe to M.2 adapters.

>>101581131
Why 16, specifically? Is it just autism?
You can get 12 in a 2U. Surely that's enough, right?

I currentely have a case, a Fractal d7 xl. I want the sound dampening for the 14 hdd's that I'm going to have, but having all that gpu is going to be a thermal issue I imagine. It looks like it could work with one card hanging off the bottom slot, and then a riser to the vertical mount position, but the 3090 is really tall so I'm pretty sure it would interfere. I think I'll just stick to something smaller for the virtualisation and transcoding usecase. This is primarily a media server after all. If I want to mess arround with the larger llm's I can buld a new server.

So if you were to get a second HBA that lets you do a total of 16 drives, you'd be really annoyed if your case only lets you do 12 drives? Even if you don't necessarily need more than 12 drives?
>>
>>101584096
18 if you're autistic, 16 if you're reasonable. It comes with brackets that allow you to mount 3.5" or 2.5" drives or pumps/reservoirs to fan mounts. Though in the back it fits 16. Two of those 16 are in conflict with the 2 5.25" bays though. It also doesn't come with all the drive trays. It just comes with 6 mounting locations in the box, plus those two universal brackets.
>>
>>101584216
>you'd be really annoyed if your case only lets you do 12 drives
yes
>Even if you don't necessarily need more than 12 drives?
at that exact moment I plug in a second HBA card? no I don't need 16 drives at that exact moment. but i do see myself growing my drives as i hoard more and more stuff off the internet. which is why im planning for 16 drives.
>>
>>101584377
So why not get a 4U case that lets you do 24?
You can one day add a third HBA and not have any mismatch between ports and slots that you seem to be autistically obsessed with. The bigger fans in a 4U would also help keep the noise down.

>>101584456
I mean, sure if it's under $500CAD. But aren't 24 bays expensive? I'm not ready to drop $3000 on one yet.

Stupid question here. Can I use single disk vdevs in a single zpool without striping the data across them?

>>101585942
maybe if it's spun down and not wearing out, but then it's more of a cold spare than a hot spare, isn't it? And even if drives don't fail then you might want to replace some with larger ones - in which case you want an empty bay so you maintain full redundancy while the replace is running.

>>101586172
Only if you use a single disk. You can add several disks to a pool as one-disk vdevs, but if you do that you essentially get a RAID0. ZFS will stripe data across every vdev in a pool and afaik there's no way to make it not do that.

I thought that might be the case.
My plan was something silly anyway
>single disk zfs on 24 drives (for compression and to take advantage of the ZIL and ARC)
>snapraid on top of that with 6 parity drives
>mergerfs over the lot of that

I don't so much care about the lack of the ability to expand zfs that easily. Or the read speeds gained from data being striped across all vdevs. The problem I have is that scrubs and resilvering take an absolute age, while also being the most risky time (since every drive is read constantly for 40+ hours). I'd rather only have the potential to lose a single drive of data instead of maybe having 3 failures cause a catastrophic data loss.
>>
>>101586553
It doesn't necessarily stripe them (unless you tell it to), it's more like a span, unless something under the hood is treating it as striped. Adding vdevs doesn't rebalance, suggesting unless you threw them in there from the beginning, it's probably taking them and spanning them. You could have a mirrored vdev, a striped vdev, and a single disk vdev, and it would just put data wherever free space is available.
>>

>>101586890
Looking cool on 4chan
>>
>>101586595
you're right that it has no equivalent of btrfs's balance command, but it will smear data all over all vdevs in the pool that have significant free space.

>>101586553
>My plan was something silly anyway
yeah that does not at all strike me as a good idea. ZFS does redundancy well, especially if you don't care about expansion, so cut the whole snapraid thing out of the equation instead of using two dozen single-disk zpools.

>>101586890
at least for me it's more of a matter of keeping several machines organized in a nice space-saving manner. Also rack cases mostly have sane airflow setups, desktop cases these days mostly don't.
>>
>>101586956
Yeah, that's more akin to spanning or sparse distribution. It doesn't perform like striping even if you use a trick to rebalance it. Learned that the hard way when I enlarged my pool.
>>
>>101584046
I'm leaning towards this case after all for my build (the 2x 3090 2x p40). Wouldn't the bottom slot interfere with the psu though? How can I check whether these will fit?
>>
>>101586956
>especially if you don't care about expansion
I probably worded that badly; I do care about expansion. And the possibility of increasing the size of the drives without having to do it to every one in the pool before I see the benefit. Though I'm not sure if that is still an issue with zfs, it was the last time I used it.

Plain zfs, with perhaps 3x 8 disk raidz2 vdevds, would definitely be a better choice for redundancy and speed. Still I could lose everything with three disk failures if they were in the wrong place. I could split them up into different zpools completely though - then I would only be risking one pool if 3 disks died.
With snapraid I wouldn't lose anything if 3 disks died. And the worst that could happen anyway is losing a single disk, after all the partity disks die (unlikely). The downsides are reads being slower, and parity being calculated on a schedule rather than in real time. And the lack of compression, though that would only be a minor gain for most files.

Any advice on setting up an Apache Solr search engine on my home server?

I've got ~400gb of PDFs, Word cocuments, emails, etc, that I'd like to make searchable, Solr seems like the best option, but I'm completely unfamiliar with the area
>>
>>101587918
I have no advice, but I can tell you that solr is fucking awful

t. someone who used it on petabyte-scale data

On second thoughts, I could get the benefits of both by splitting things up a bit.
Perhaps 4 disks in a mirror vdev. Anything I'm seeding would live there, along with more precious data.
Then the remaining 20 disks could be 16 + 4 parity with snapraid. With mergerfs on top of everything.
>>
>>101588211
4 parity for only 16 disks seems a bit much
>>
>>101587918
Personally i am just waiting a few years until things like
https://github.com/raghavan/PdfGptIndexer
https://github.com/BruceMacD/chatd
Actually work as they should
>>
>>101588268
Does it? That's what snapraid recommends. And it's in line with my current setup of data striped across 2 10 disk raidz2 vdevs.

Whats your guy's DNS / webserver / routing situation?


i was a frontend develoepr for 12 years but i want to learn backend for next few months (too many steve jobs wanna-be ceos who think they are gods gift to design)


right now im using


PORK BUN - dns
CLOUD FLARE - just dns

Reverse Proxy - Caddy

WebServer - echo + go + htmx + etc


im not really attached to cloudflare or porkbun. not sure if theres better options. i had kinda had a lot of trouble adding new endpoints and stuff.


Should i move to traefik or FRP?

FRP seemed to have some cool features, and maybe i could remove cloudflare.


basically i was trying to make a fabric of 6-12 server boxes of anything from nvidia jetson or a raspberry pi, or a thinkpad with a broken screen.


Eventually i want to add like 1-2 cloud servers to practice horizontal scaling or adding flash-compute for like 24 hours to process batch jobs.

to accomplish this, i was gonna use a golang service on each machine, which orchestrates a bunch of VMs, containers and hardware bits like sensors, cameras, and my roomba. kinda like k8 but just for 10 servers instead of like 2000
>>
>>101588466

like in the past, i used vercel, or stuff like FLY.io, heroku, digital ocean, even AWS/GCS and they all had this shit taken care of.


But i want to try to roll my own devops/architecture/setup. I dont mind if it takes a long time to learn, i just want to get really good at making changes, especially the ones that would be unfeasible on cloud systems like AWS.


like all the startups can use the cloud cause they dgaf and are spending other peoples money and they have to get traction in 6 months or fail basically.

but i dont really have any goal or deadline.

and i think there are certain things you can do with self-hosted that are like 20-30x cheaper if you do it all locally, rather than in the cloud.

like at my previous job, we had services that managed like 50pb of data every day, and i did the math and itwas like 30k to do self hosted, but we were spending WAY more on aws.

I mean, if you feel 'safer' with 4 disks then just stay like that. With 20 disks and 3 parity you're still within 15-21 drives. But still, up to you.

>connect a wan port of ap router to a port in isp modem
>Set up a lan with dhcp, the router gets ip and dns from modem
>But when I connect a device to that network it cannot connect to the outside (internet) despite dhcp working and ip and dns being set correctly

It works when modem is connected to a lan port and then router acts as an extender by default but I want to lans

i asked a question
>>
>>101571216
I have a proxmox device with a few VMs, some of which run several docker containers.

Should I ignore docker and just to full VM backups weekly? How often to you update your docker containers, apply VM OS patches, and update proxmox itself? How often do you do backups? Should I try to do docker-level backups or just ignore it for now? I'm just eager to get something setup for backups since it has been a while since I started and I have real data now.

Also, I have a separate, dedicated NAS, but it currently runs NextCloud on it. Should I not use my NAS to run services, since I have the separate proxmox device? Seems like a better idea to just use the NAS for backups.
>>
>>101584757
I went with one of the Lenovo USFF devices for mine. I could throw in whatever NIC I wanted (you generally want intel based for opnsense, otherwise you'll have a driver obstacle on OS install), and I just wanted a small form factor in general since I was trying to shove the router, the main switch, and a UPS in a cabinet. I got a separate WAP as well.
>>
i kinda want to put 9front on my network

righto /g/entoomen, give me your opinion please
system monitoring: what am I using? something that can proactively fix would be a bonus
>>
I've been considering setting up k8 just as a learning experience
Anyone have experience/opinions on what way is the best to make a reproducible configuration?
Like terraform or some other stuff I can have in version control
>>
>>101590872
fluentd -> logstash -> elasticsearch -> lucene -> kibana

also netdata

>new to home server
>buy prebuilt NAS
>install drives, plug it in
>done
it works fine but im a little disappointed in retrospect. building one probably would have been more fun
>>
>>101592470
nice
do you already back up the things on the NAS somewhere else, like the cloud or a secondary device?
>>
>>101592728
Not yet. i'll probably end up doing that soon though
>>
>>101591108
you're probably looking for something like Ansible?

I really want to get some of those cheap blade servers you see everywhere but the fan noise and power consumption makes this a stupid idea...
>>
>>101590872
Prometheus + Grafana is probably the de facto, most used/popular way to do this.
>>
>>101591108
seconding ansible, managing a k8s cluster at my job with it, pretty painless, have a git repo with all ansible playbooks

not a blade

why do people call rack mount servers blades, is this some youtube guy thing?

no way, all those fans are at least 80mm and you could swap them with regular silent fans
>>
is there a downside to using cloudflare tunnels to expose your home services instead of raw dogging it?
i know they mitm your traffic but what if i don't care
>>
>>101594431
Blade is just a generic term for any 1u/2u server as they are thin like a blade and only have CPU and RAM resources

>>101592779

I'll give it a go, thanks for the advice

i wonder if you could just put a fanless sff board in there and attach the backplane to it
use an angle grinder if you have to
