Can you run ECC on a Ryzen 5500 and does the ASUS B350M-A boot without GPU?

I have a 4350G "Pro" that I'm looking to upgrade. 4650G and similar are absolutely overpriced and hard to obtain. The 5500 would be a lovely Cezanne with likely even less power draw and efficiency. Or would you go 5600 (UV + Underclock)?

The server was running on my old B550 "gaming" board that I'm looking to sell right now in hope of improved efficiency and money. The server runs idle most of the time, just TrueNAS and several ubuntu server VMs. I have 32 GB ECC DDR4 but wonder if I even need ECC, because I don't see why I should pay 150-200 € for a shitty old Renoir CPU that I could get an entire laptop with the same CPU for.

>>102122459
I already answered it >>102122068 bro.

NO. A 5500 will not run ECC. Need a pro or X version of the chip.

A quick goolge shows your board does support it. You need unbuffered udimm ram. The registered ram will not work.

Posting your question a third time will get you the same answer.

The board of course supports it.

So how much worse would a 5600 would be or should I just buy the 5500 and run it without ECC?

how do I host things on interet with https using reverse proxy? I have public ip. do I need public domain?

>>102122614
You can just hit the public ip, but a domain would make it easier to remember. Have the reverse proxy forward the request to your wsgi host. I do it via wireguard to prevent having to open ports on my home network.

>>102122614
SSL certificates are possible for IPs but not best practice and rarely used.
If you can buy a domain you'll be able to follow well established guides etc

>>102122614
if your proxy IP is static you don't NEED a domain. if it's not static then you probably should get one and set up DDNS
if the proxy IP changes you wont know which IP the proxy has, but DDNS will see the change and update DNS accordingly so you can always hit your proxy via DNS

>>102122614
not necessarily, if you have a static public ip
but getting an ssl cert for an ip is not easy
letsencrypt and probably other free ssl providers require you to use a domain
plus its easier to remember
just get a free one from afraid.org.

So I finally got my server hardware up and installed Proxmox on it. This is my goal.
Using OpenMediaVault as a NAS VM and use SnapRaid for a bit of protection and redundancy and MergerFS for a simplified pool. Then I use a Windows VM (or linux if I ever learn it) to download crap from the internet and store it in the OMV container. I would also add a couple more VMs or containers so it can read, not write, from the OMV storage.

I am very new and I don't know what I am doing but is something like this possible? how hard would it be to setup?

for the anons with massive 50 or 100tb+ nas arrays: how do you handle backup? tape? pay for offsite? that’s gotta get pricey, no? a second array?

>>102124365
>currently have 89TB of data
>only backup ~2TB of it
I only back up really important stuff. Like family photos, documents and stuff. One copy in my server (HDD). Two copies in my closet (HDD and Blu-Ray disks) that I check maybe twice a year. One copy on the cloud. One copy at may sibling's house (two siblings so one copy each, HDD, I sync and spin it up maybe twice a year). And the last physical copy in a safety deposit box in my bank.

Games, music, movies, shows, books, audio books, etc. None of those gets backed up. Because at the end of the day when I lose all those I would just get really angry and annoyed.
If I lose like, photos of my parents, I will never get those back since they already passed away and I would probably cry.
I don't practice the 3-2-1 method since a lot of my data is replaceable. But when they're not I go all out to make sure I never lose them.

you just need to setup a wifi ap with your website advertised as a captive portal by dhcp
put some info there about what your server does and a web file manager or just simple file index.

i wouldnt use networkmanager or snap (or ubuntu...) personally but thats up to you. fuck snap.

I do similar to >>102118227 but I use btrfs on bare drives, snapraid, and mergerfs on bare Linux. Works well imo, there are solutions to integrate btrfs snapshots with snapraid.
>>102126612
I can unionize disks while still having the raw disk underneath and getting near native performance. It was either the above solution or zfs, and I didn't think zfs made sense for disposable data storage where I would prefer more capacity.

>>102127558
Depends on the workload. Assuming that the dataset is striped across 75 drives with 100k IOPS each, that would come out to 30.72GB/s or 245.76Gb/s. Sequential performance should be double that or even more depending on the drives.

I am looking at 2.5 g unmanaged switches to connect 5 computers together. A few questions -
1. what brand should I get? There are 100's of chineese cliones on amazon, I'm not sure if this poses a secruty risk
2. Will my normal firewall work, or do I need to invest in something better? One of the ports will be used for wi-fi, but I'm not 100% sure if that is a vunerability
3. When looking at pipe-size, 1 gigabit vs 2g vs 10g, I assume that means the total bandwidth available, so even though I only have a 1gig fibre line from my isp, is it worth it to go 10g for file transfer, or will my spinning platter hard drives in my nas make this too slow anyway and it's just a waste of money?

>>102128368
The largest advantage to having a wider bandwidth on your switch is that you can saturate your server. If you have a lot of clients (either external or internal), then something like a 10 gig SFP+ port can get saturated by many several connections drawing off the server all at once, plus torrent downloads/seeding, and backups to external connections (if you're doing that, of course).
2.5 gig is nice because its pretty widely available from a consumer side, though you will have a hard time finding enterprise 2.5 gig gear (versus something like 1 and 10 gig).
I split the difference and ended up with a 2.5gig port switch that has an extra 10 gig SFP+ port that I plug my server into. So yeah, I'll never get 10 gigs direct to any client, but that's not the point. It just means I'll basically never saturate that 10 gig to the server, whereas with my 1 gig I actually managed to a few times.

ty for the answer anon
I just ordered a 2.5g, I think it should be enough

>>102129073
Just make sure to check your connections once you plug everything in. I had a bad ethernet cable that was only negotiating 100mb when whatever cat number it was should have been capable of 2.5 gig. Of course your NIC also needs to support 2.5g.
You can do
ethtool <network interface>
to get a readout of the negotiated speed.

>>102125733
maybe amazon has a good deal. i got my refurbished ironwolf pro nas drives from there

>>102129555
That's what I recently built my NAS out using, except they went on a deal for 115 dollars a drive (currently at 130).
They're working great so far. SMART all checked out and they're handling everything well.

Is VMWare really worth $210/year over the alternatives?

im copying a fuckton of data from one part of a zpool to another part of the same pool. if i scrub the "new" data and theres no errors, im good to delete the original data right?

I think I'm doing something wrong. I set up a NAS using OMV and when I copy files I'm only getting 18-20 MB/s. They are connected with a cat6 cable to a 1Gb switch. I should be getting 125 MB/s, right?
I only have one disk in the NAS since I'm still testing things out and it's a pretty old HDD. Like 2008 old. Is the HDD my problem or did I fuck up somewhere? I don't know when the time HDD speeds go up.

>>102130418
sorry, i was the guy suggesting reading from /dev/zero.
you can do this on the server instead:

mount -o size=1G -t tmpfs none /mnt/tmpfs

which makes a temporary ramdisk (until you reboot, or unmount it). share it with smb (symlinking it is probably easier), put a big file on there and download it.

>>102129748
Yeah nigger, yolo

>>102130418

fio --name=whatever_read ---filename=/mnt/data0/fio-test --bs=1M --rw=read --direct=1 --size=2G --numjobs=1 

replace /mnt/data0/fio-test with a path on that disk (the file will be overwritten if it exists)
you can check where a disk is mounted with df
then run it a second time but replace read with write.

but all other ryzen 5000 non-G do (except the 5700 and 5100, which are more lobotomised APUs)

A confusing post. Are you implying you only have one server and you can only turn it off at night, meaning you don't have resiliency and failure tolerance? That's not good architecture, anon.
I have nothing against EPYC 4004 systems, but the Ryzen systems have no place here except for things like high frequency trading (HFT) where low latency is more beneficial over reliability or ECC memory support (which Ryzen doesn't have). Ryzen 4004 is also so new, there aren't many refurbished DIY servers or OEM prebuilts around it on the market, so historically the hardware anons use has skewed towards Intel on server platforms.
Intel has arguably better processor security and virtualization features on CPUs and way better documentation, while AMD currently has better architecture.
Low idle power isn't the goal, keeping the CPUs utilized 100% is.

>>102116609
People are unable to read OEM supported operating systems on those platforms, find out all those supported operating systems are end-of-life and often no longer receive security support. The CPUs themselves are usually EOSL'd too. iDRAC8 and earlier is also out of support; Supermicro typically doesn't provide BIOS/IPMI firmware updates after a CPU goes EOSL, meaning IPMI interfaces also no longer get support.
These things are toxic and present high risks for your data environment, and should be replaced.

Shut up. Windows Server has its own uses for traditional AD deployments in environments where Entra ID can't be used, and PE server executable software (mostly gameservers).
I wouldn't virtualize Windows clients on a server because licensing their remote access is pain, but you can't argue with Windows being the most used and well supported and innovative client operating system. Heck, even Ubuntu Linux didn't have TPM-backed FDE boot as an option until many years later (since Ubuntu 23.10).

Literal days go by and I don’t even have to tweak or look at my server. Everything just werks. Only thing I need to worry about is fitting more drives in my case. Think I need a SAS card next for more sata ports.

I'm compartmentalizing my utilities and services/scripts by using a system with umask=027 and splitting everything into separate users/groups, and making sure these users have the least amount of capabilities to break out of their sandboxes.

However, I'm unsure on how to go about uploading/downloading data (git repos, downloads, etc) from my various machines/laptop/phone without first going through my user, then logging in as root and copying/chowning the files.

For example: I want to upload a git repo over ssh so that user "foo" can read it and run CI on it. Do I:
- Add my public ssh key to user foo and log in as him directly? (annoying as I'll have to add keys for different of my devices to each user I require logging in as, revoking keys being just as annoying)
- Add my user to the "foo" group, and create a directory under /home/foo with "rwxr-x--- myuser foo" perms and the setgid flag?
- Give the user "foo" access to a "git" group which I'll use to store git projects for read-only access in various services?
- Completely give up and break out the selinux/apparmor/bubblewrap/other container tech and just run everything under my user with a reduced filesystem view, and forget about users and groups

Honestly, I just want something simple that won't break my back trying to keep rogue/hijacked services from reading out all my data from different home folders.

What are other anon's approaches to sensible/easy security, using simple mechanisms?

Explain to me how does libvirt NAT interact with firewalld. I don't understand it at all, libvirt places its interface in "libvirt" zone, which has an ACCEPT target and a 'rule priority=32767 reject' rich rule and some services allowed by default. What does that rich rule do? I can't access ports on the host from the guest, unless they're allowed in the libvirt firewalld zone, can access ports on the guest from the host by default, but can't ping the guest from the host (while the guest can ping the host).

I'll bite for enterprise trolling. I have been in many board rooms where these things (tech/ IT budgets) are discussed.

Every person who knows tech manufacturing knows enterprise hardware is built to a better standard than personal computer, but its fractions of a percentage in terms of difference in quality. If at all. Thats a fact.

The real reason you are paying $20k+ for a rack server from Dell / HP is NOT for performance or reliability directly. Its an insurance policy for the buyer that they will get recompensated for this server blowing up on week 1 for the downtime caused by it should it happen. Dell is basically charging a highly actuarial based fee for this server NOT because of the hardware costs but for the risk of downtime. Thats what Enterprise schizo is getting his budget approved for $50k+ for his Magic the Gathering "critical uptime" forum requests from stupid CFOs.

The whole Epyc ECC validated vs Ryzen Pro non-validated is just stickers on a car. There is NO technological difference in the hardware underneath. Its just risk management.

So for a home server, I promise you if you bought that $20k Dell Poweredge to larp as a data center, I promise you that Dell ain't paying you shit for downtime because you CANNOT prove in court any damages when it goes down.

TLDR: Pic related is setting the price of enterprise gear in the link below; NOT hardware or reliability stats.

Why does the SPICE protocol suck so much?

Have any of you used https://stratis-storage.github.io ? I've never heard of it, but it's the only filesystem thing other than XFS designated as halal by the RHEL documentation

I have a server running truenas core (free bsd version) with an intel x550-t2 nic connected to my windows 11 pc via ethernet going to a marvel aquanita 10Gbe nic.

Up until recently it ran fine, but in the last couple months the speeds of the connection has randomly been dropping to 10 MB/s or 40 MB/s speeds. If I restart the server it seems to fix the problem.

anyone know what is going on or how to fix it ?

>>102147437
You update drivers recently or something?

>>102147917
I dont think i have so I was wondering if it's possible one of the cards is going bad.

marvell aqtion 10gbe nic driver is 3.1.7 from 6/2/2022

Energy-Efficienct ethernet : disabled
row control tx & Tx enabled
interupt moderation: enabled
interupt moderation rate: adaptive
ipv4 checksum offload rx & tx Enabled
jumbo packet: disabled
Maximum number of RSS queues: 4
NS offload: enabled
Receive Side Scaling: enabled
Speed & Duplex: Auto Negotiation

It will show 10Gbe speed in true nas control panel even though it runs at 1MB/s max

Not sure if this is even the right place for this question because it's totally noobish but eh

To sum it up all I need is to host a single folder from an external drive instead of just the entire drive. Regular web searching for this question has given me fuck all so I'm here :p

just updated to the latest driver 3.1.10

I'll have to see if it fixes it.

you could partition your external drive into two drives so you dump all the shares into one drive and leave the rest on the other drive instead of diddling around with folders

I know that it’s a bit high. I fell for one of the meme PSUs by Wolfgang. Cooler Master MWE700. According to him (and the Cybernetics website) it was supposed to be around 78-82% efficient in the low 20W range. However it must be much higher than that. The previous PSU (a 15 year old FSP 300W) took up only 22W with the same system. It was a valuable lesson to learn that Youtube shills sometimes don’t know shit about shit. Still I kept it because the high age of the FSP.

Okay i see, i'd misunderstood your original question. The issue i think you'll face is that lots of specific services you might want to whitelist rely on cloud offerings so before you know it you'll be whitelisting all of AWS in your region.

Nah it's not just prosumer. I'll agree that stuff is lacking more enterprise high-end features but don't conflate that with it not being enterprise tier because it's not on the /same level/ as Fortinet or Cisco. Consider the price to performance VS that gear - the new Enterprise Fortress is
>$1999
>12.5 gpbs IDS/IPS for FREE
>25gb
>has deep packet inspection
>HA
>90 days of free support included
The nearest equivalent Fortinet gear is like, $45,000 for the 1000f with similar IDS/IPS performance, and don't get me wrong - it IS much, much better - but it's 45 fucking thousand dollars. That's a lot of god damn money for JUST a firewall. You could build out several network closets in a medium-large company with Unifi equipment for what it costs for a SINGLE Fortigate. Some companies don't NEED what Fortinet is offering, nor do they necessarily NEED the features that are "missing" from Unifi equipment, which is legitimately not much these days. Most of the price comes from the support, but Unifi thankfully offers that as well these days.

Company I work for uses Unifi & Fortinet gear. I've gotten all of my Unifi gear from work, and I haven't paid a dime for any of it, I am no paid shill. But it's retarded to claim that it's not enterprise equipment.

We've never had any issues with them at my company, nor have I in my home. I have several AC Pros, and 2 AC-HD's, although that's definitely overkill.
>Firmware updates
you're not wrong, this is a frequently brought up issue for a reason - but just turn off auto updates, you should be doing that already. I have them turned off and unless there's a critical vulnerability, I don't update them for months. Never had an issue, genuinely.
>when it doesn't work....

If your shit is bricked, they're really good about RMAing equipment. I've RMA'd shit I bought off ebay lmfao. I'm RMAing my USW-Flex that got pressure washed and bricked. It's really easy.

your concerns are understandable but honestly founded from issues that Unifi /used/ to have and aren't as valid anymore imo. Granted, i've made this long rant about how happy I am with my unifi gear, and it's all going to fucking explode now.

If I want every device in a WireGuard network to reach every other device in the same WireGuard network, am I supposed to designate one of the devices as a virtual switch for the network or am I supposed to just add every other device on every device as WireGuard peers?

>>102154661

Make sure to check that your server version (and not just jellyfin) are the newest version.
For that you'll want to do:

sudo apt install jellyfin-server=10.9.10+ubu2004 jellyfin-client=10.9.10+ubu2004

I left out the jellyfin=jellyfin=10.9.10+ubu2004 because you already seem to have that.
The reason I know this works is I literally did this just day before yesterday because I had the same client issue.

I had to use that line given by the documentation to explicitly spell out the version to upgrade to for server and client.

If you don't intend to do any federation (talking with other servers), i would strongly urge you to not use Matrix. It consumes resources and metadata like nothing i have ever seen before it. I haven't heard of revolt until now so i can't really comment on that. I would go with Mattermost, it is easy to work with and has all the features you would need for simple chatting.

>most people i know swear on seagate.
I have a FreeAgent GoFlex Drive from 2010 that hasn't failed me (yet... knock on wood), so I guess I'll go with Seagate then.
I was avoiding them from 2015 because there were a lot of reviews shitting on them, did they get better since then or something?
Anyway, is there any difference between these? There was a guide, sticky, or prior reply to the same question here but I cannot find it.

>>102157958
I have a sort of love/hate relationship with matrix. Paired with element it seems like the best option but I don't like how they handle notifications and defaulting to federation with matrix.org. Is your instance federated?
>>102158464
Yeah this exactly, for a private server I'm not a big fan. For something like a vidya guild or place for friends of friends I would probably use it but for family only I'd rather use something more private.
>I haven't heard of revolt until now so i can't really comment on that
Revolt has shit documentation and actively hates selfhosters asking for clarifications. They'll drop selfhosting as soon as they don't need the label as a selling point anymore.
I read more about mattermost and apparently their newest version is going to kill group calls and screen shares, only 1 on 1 calls supported. That and they've been adding free tier warning messages and just making the free tier shittier with each update, I think I'll pass.
Looks like I'm stuck with nextcloud talk or I get normies to start using IRC and teamspeak.

would adding the entire network to a wireguard peer network increase performance? instead of having to proxy through the "server" vm, you can just connect directly to the service you want. only downside is that every machine needs its own wireguard client.

i might run some tests this weekend and see what the difference in performance is between the two.

How *do* they handle them? I have people telling me notifications don't always work on their phones.
>defaulting to federation with matrix.org
You talking about the default homeserver in Element being matrix.org? Or them offering turn.matrix.org if you don't have your own? Or some kind of Synapse federation setting?
Is your instance federated?
No.

>>102158690
>I was avoiding them from 2015 because there were a lot of reviews shitting on them, did they get better since then or something?
they had one model (3tb barracudas) with insane failure rates
and then they were first to market with SMR drives which are uniquely terrible for most applications. WD marketed SMR drives for archival/WORM-type storage which they're fine for. Seagate sold them in fucking external game drives (and still did until relatively recently).
nowadays it literally doesnt matter if you pick wd or seagate
toshibas drives arent worse than - but their warranty sucks seventy dicks
those are the only manufacturers out there, if they couldnt compete they wouldn't be making disks anymore.

>>102158959
Are you just after a rackmounted case? If so, I recommend Sliger. I the closest specific model to the RM44 is the CX4150a, but they have a bunch of 4u cases

>>102159859
>How *do* they handle them
https://github.com/libremonde-org/paper-research-privacy-matrix.org/blob/master/part1/README.md#push-server
This is for Riot Web not necessarily Element. I couldn't find how Element handles push notifications. Also it's a year old so idk if it's still accurate but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
Also some parts just feel like whining like complaining matrix.org uses cloudflare.
>Or some kind of Synapse federation setting
It has to do with matrix.org being hardcoded in certain parts of synapse like being the fallback keyserver. You can have an "unfederated" server but still be regularly in contact with matrix.org unless you make some config changes. The author of the above repo talks about it in #synapse-the-reference-server-implementation

>>102160530
Also to be fair I just double checked key.py source for the most recent version and they have a disclaimer explaining the keyserver problem now. I don't have the means to test if it still sends requests to matrix.org after defining a trusted keyserver but at least the disclaimer is a step in the right direction.
Guess I shouldn't use that paper as a source until verifying all of it against the more recent versions of synapse.

>>102159670
Disk burn in tests are a waste of time . Just build enough redundancy into the array and warranty drives as needed

>>102162535
I always do them just because I don't want to deal with the hassle of returning drives as they fail one by one. I'd rather they all fail at once during a burn test and then return them in one go.
Paying shipping once for multiple items is better than paying shipping multiple times for multiple items.
But that's just me. I just let it run while I sleep and go to work.

Running OMV in Proxmox is so confusing but I managed to get it to work but I don't know if this was the proper way to do it.
I didn't mount my HDDs in Proxmox but I used it to wipe the drives and make a full partition. I got the UUID and told OMV that it could use the drives. Managed to get SMART working in OMV and used MergerFS and Snapraid to make a large pool and parity drives. Set up a schedule for syncing and scrubbing. Made a user (me) and now I can access it on any device.
I look up some guides on how to do it and then I follow it. Then I see another guide and they do it different. If there's a wrong way to do it I hope I didn't do it.
Also maybe I should install flashmemory so my SSD lasts longer, but I don't know if OMV is as bad as Proxmox.

I then moved on to installing a Win10 VM. I also followed a guide, managed to get it to work. It even uses the network share I made in OMV. Shutting it down via Proxmox doesn't work though. I have to force stop it or shut down in the VM itself. I don't know how to fix that. I also installed a torrent client inside the Win10 VM. Super dumb but I can't be assed to install it as a container, at least not yet. I just want to start torrenting now.

And lastly I am now trying to set up openrwt so I have a VPN when torrenting on the Win10 VM. This one looks more confusing since guides for this are kind of all over the place.

I've always wondered do SSD controllers reallocate stuff to save NAND wear on the free space, like if a 250 GB drive has 10 GB of free space and you read/write that 10 GB over and over again does the drive stuffle stuff around to reduce wear on that 10 GB space?

>>102167494
most of them do

>>102164923
Sure, why not. At the very least you could say the RAM and CPU are almost worth that.

>>102165164
Because I don't want to expose my IP address when torrenting. I could use the VPN client but I don't know how effective that is inside the VM.
And lastly I want to eventually move my torrenting off the Windows VM and make it a separate container so I save resources.

>>102168006
So the LBA's written attribute in SMART can be read as even wear across the whole drive and not just a simple total sum of written LBA's where some blocks have zero P/E cycles and some blocks million P/E cycles?

Sup fellas. I want to build a mini/micro atx home server. Any recommendations for case and motherboard? Case has to fit at least 4x3.5 drives and ideally a 1080 founders edition that I plan to use for transcoding.
Any tips on making the build more efficient and quiet? Also share mini atx build if you know of any.

>>102163450
>This one looks more confusing since guides for this are kind of all over the place.
There's a lot you can do with a networking device. More possibilities means more examples, so of course you're going to come across a lot of varying resources.
But with OpenWrt, the official documentation is decent enough, you shouldn't need any other documentation.
>>102168025
>Because I don't want to expose my IP address when torrenting. I could use the VPN client but I don't know how effective that is inside the VM.
So instead of using a VPN client with a killswitch, you create a router with a VPN client, and route everything through that?
It might technically work, but you would save a lot more resources by just using a VPN client on the Win10 VM.
As far as the effectiveness is concerned, it all depends on what you're after. If hiding your IP is the main goal, it doesn't matter whether you have a tunnel originating from the VM itself or a router in front of the VM, it's still going to reach torrenting peers through the VPN server.
For HW performance, offloading the VPN client from the Win10 VM might offer tiny improvements for the VM itself, but if you're virtualizing an entire router on the same hardware, the savings are canceled out.
>And lastly I want to eventually move my torrenting off the Win10 VM and make it a separate container so I save resources.
Instead of trying to get the Win10 VM and the router/VPN Client to work as intended, go straight to containers. A torrent client with a built in VPN client, there's a ton of images like that.
>>102169209
>Any recommendations for case and motherboard?
Budget? Tower or rack mounted?
>Case has to fit at least 4x3.5 drives and ideally a 1080 founders edition that I plan to use for transcoding.
Drives aren't anything special, but the card will be a limiting factor. A starting point could be the case guide linked in the OP.
>Any tips on making the build more efficient and quiet?
Passive cooling, isolate the drive mounts.

it's mature enough so the webUI seems rock solid compared to other stuff like OMV Owncloud Nextcloud but it's terribly locked down and has like zero powersaving features.
best case scenario you could either run it in a vm and passthrough a bunch of drives or dyi it on one of those 10W celeron itx boards (with a pico-psu even, for efficiencymaxxing)
i would definitely not throw it on some random old desktop or workstation.
