>>102199501
>>102201250
I'm not sure what sort of cool features you are expecting on a modem. I would get the cheapest one which supports bridge mode and plug it into a real router. ISPs have invented all sorts of stuff to get remote access to these devices, if you take your network security even slightly seriously you should consider them all compromised anyways. Afaik there is no docsis modem where you can install libre or even open firmware.

>>102202410
Not really. I found that they're roughly the same price. Amazon might be a bit more but I look at it as the cost of faster shipping. The Welcome Offer is only one per customer so if you're going to buy something there use that offer to buy something expensive.

Nothing too interesting really. The orange cable is a dsl line going into a fritzbox 7510 running freetz-ng (unfortunately there is no openwrt for this chip). That is connected to a vp2420 from protectli running nixos. The two grey lines to the right are for my doorbell (its analog but over cat6 cabling). The top patchpanel are all drops in my house. Green cables are access points, two of which are on a dmz vlan because they are running gluon (openwrt for freifunk). The sfp+ dac is going to a server which sits under the rack. The other fritzbox is a 7490 which i wanted to use as a modem instead of the 7510 but for some reason vectoring doesn't work with openwrt on it. I tinkered around with different firmware versions and even tried to get the wasp chip to work, but to no avail.
I want to get another managed switch but cant find anything i like currently. Ideally it would have 24*2.5G ports, 4*sfp+ ports and run openwrt.

Is it possible to ssh into a laptop connected to my smartphone's mobile hotspot? I'm a networklet and I can't get a straight answer searching about it. When I try to ssh into my laptop, I just get "network is unavailable." I vaguely remember doing it when I last tried over a year ago, but that could just be a false memory based on being able to ssh into my android phone running termux. With traceroute I get "connect: permission denied." There is no firewall blocking the port and it's otherwise open.

>>102208800
>network is unavailable
Meant to say "network is unreachable"

Is ECC a meme?
I tend to just download from my main PC and direct the download to my NAS server rather than use my server to download it directly.

if this shit is for your house and the only time you're gonna use the full 10gbit is for large file transfers, opnsense on a skylake server with a couple 10gbit nics will handle it. it'll shit itself if you throw a lot of packets at it though.
otherwise buy the mikrotik

the statement is completely unrelated to your question

>>102208931
Some of what I read said that the carriers block this functionality. It seemed to work for others though, so that's why I'm unsure. Before the "network unreachable" message, I was getting "connection refused" until I ran a command to open the port. Maybe that broke something, but it could just be a matter of carriers blocking incoming traffic as you said. I don't think there is a way to port forward with the phone. Already looked into it multiple times in the past.

pcie devices dont care about your motherboard. if you have the slot and enough lanes (1 in this case) it will work.
its an asmedia chip and not jmicron slop so its unlikely to cause you major trouble. you will likely want to update the firmware.

sas hba will be bigger, noisier, run hotter, support vastly more drives since you can use port multiplication* without issue, support sas drives (which may be cheaper), and if you run many drives (sas or sata) you could see a large improvement.

*dont use sata multipliers unless you hate your data

Anon what the heck is this image? I rotated and scaled it for you, but you should really hold your camera at the same height as the subject of your picture.

Looks like a fairly simple nvr setup. I really dig the black cover plates between the silver ui gear. Where is all that fiber going?

>>102212416
>What are your temps looking like with all that insulation?
The fans on top and bottom of the enclosure with a homemade PID controller keep the inside around 30C under normal load. At max load, it would go up to 60C with the glass door closed, but stays below 50 with the door open, so I always open the door before going full throttle.

I'm riding the edge with these temps as a compromise to keep the noise low (hence the insulation), because I don't have a place to put the rack where noise doesn't matter, so it has to live in my office. Below 50 should be fine for HDDs and electronics in general, so idgaf.

>>102212533
I saved your rotated image thanks bby. I reorganized the whole closet, and was sending that to friends, so it happens to be more than just the rack.

>looks like a simple NVR
Yeah, only using the UDM pro as my NVR. Probably not the best option for redundancy, but it works, I have enough recording space.
>dig the black plates
Thanks, I was afraid it would look goofy at first, I got the blanks from work so I was using what I had lmao. I also really like how it turned out, and using a blank 1 slot lower to use the gap as cable management is super nice.
>where's the fiber going?
All the switch downlinks are fiber ofc, but I also have 10g to my main PC, NAS, and fiber running through the attic to the 48 port 500w POE running cameras in the garage. 10g lan is very nice based.

What sort of ballpark should I be looking at for a home server? Most of the builds I find online are either shoestring or conspicuous consumption monsters. Rarely do they really care about power consumption either.
Just running jellyfin right now, but storing other sorts of files in a similar fashion (e-library, 3d models, wiki for creative projects) would be what I'd be looking at. Some hosting of game servers and virtual tabletops for friends to access too.
What's the reasonable amount I should be looking to drop on this for an initial spend?

supporting rhel and derivatives is not much different than supporting microsoft, even if support just means giving them market share

>>102213717
For everything except the game servers, a Raspberry Pi clone would be the cheapest option that also uses relatively little power. Check OP's ARM SBC list.

Game servers are often only available for x86 CPUs, and some even require decent specs, so you might want to use an old, cheap desktop computer. You can reduce power use by controlling the PC's power switch pins using a simple NPN transistor controlled via the ARM SBC's GPIO (if it has any), so you can boot up the game server only if needed and shut it down afterwards, all in software.

If you don't want to mess with the main board, you could also go the software route by using wake-on-LAN to turn the PC on, and some remote management solution to turn it off, but you'll have to keep the PC in sleep at all times for wake-on-LAN to work.

Finally, you could also try using an out-of-band management solution like the one that involves Intel Management Engine, but it's near impossible to find consumer hardware combinations in the second hand market that allow this, as CPU, network interface, and main board all need to support it.

In the process of migrating my legacy infrastructure to k8s, but there are still a couple things I'd like to resolve/improve upon in the test env before moving forward.
In particular, is there a canonical way to hook into/subscribe to events in k8s? What I would like to do is have a helper process that updates my external DNS based on Service LoadBalancer addresses as they are assigned. I could just make this a cronjob and run every few minutes, but that's a little too easy and I'd like to see if there's a more elegant way.

There is 100% a firewall on the network ISP side. Easiest way around this is to set the devices up on a common VPN.

I actually am, thanks! But two things:
1. AFAIK, that requires annotating objects, which is extra configuration and I'd prefer to just interpret the appropriate name based on my service/ingress naming conventions.
2. I actually have other usecases beyond DNS in mind for triggering off events, like automatically forwarding ports and sending arbitrary messages out.

There are tricks that might get you part way there, if you're not familiar with LVM take a look it's very powerful, you can resize online, shift data from between disks without disrupting access and other fun things but you wouldn't have one filesystem in the form you could access from one disk, maybe multiple filesystems you can nest in a file tree that makes sense for you where each filesystem resides wholly one one disk (or the number of disks you can power up at the same time in your backup machine - USB adapters can do in a pinch).

Assuming IPV4, using a router grants you NAT and NAT isn't a firewall but it serves 99% of the purpose of a firewall for a typical user.

no, its 10 in 10^16 bits read. so actually 1 in 10^15. at least i hope thats the case cause 10 consecutive bits would be a lot more catastrophic.
there are drives that have 1 in 10^16 but im not using them cause they're more expensive

>>102222058
if you mean putting all four in a z1 pool, yea you can do that, but the 14tb drives will be downgraded to 12tb.

Is running a Linux VM a good way to actually learn how to use Linux? Or any OS really.
Seems like I have to do other shit like mounting drives and shit which is annoying.

>>102222058
split the 14tb disks into 12 and 2tb partitions, make raidz1 pool of the 2 12tb disks and these 2 12tb partitions. Then use the other 2 2tb partitions for something else.
Or just make another raidz1 pool from the two 2tb partitions and use mergerfs to put them all together, though if you do that you want to make sure you aren't reading/writing to both the 2tb and 12tb partitions at the same time, you'll thrash your drives to death if you arent careful (for a backup server this isnt such a big deal, will kill i/o though)

caveat: i don't know if zfs can have full disks and partitions in the same pool but I'd assume so.

You're right, I should say you need rsyncd and a drive of some kind.
Actually let me hold his hand some more. You also need some cables to connect the drive to a computer. Oh that's right also you need a computer. And an outlet or other power source. Also you should have a sheltered area to store the computer. I would also recommend a keyboard and screen to interface with the computer. Hands as well so you can press the keys. Eyes can help too.
Also for backups to work you need data to back up. Just in case that anon didn't know you ALSO need data. Anything else I missed you fucking nigger?

>>102222745

these are appropriate replies to anons question. rsyncing to an external drive (actually, you didnt even mention it had to be external in your little tantrum, lmao) thats plugged into your machine 24/7 is not a real backup. it does not protect against floods, fire, theft, etc. it probably wont protect you against ransomware, and particularly with rsync if youre not backing up deleted data then it only protects against accidental deletion if you notice it soon enough. in this sense, it is only marginally more robust than raid. anon asked for a more robust backup solution than raid, and you responded with a piece of software that *could* be used in a more robust solution, but failed to actually describe what that solution would look like.

Of course, printing is a form of backup. The best is pigment, next best toner, then, distantly inkjet. I think a plotter might be the very best of all, better even than pigment, but who owns a plotter? A large format plotter can write lots of info very small.

ofc paper backups can't cover 100% of your data, but they can cover a few things.

Keep it useful:
Make sure the font you use works well with Tesseract.

Keep content organized such that Tesseract is easy to automate, to redigitize things.

Ideally, you will own a full duplex dedicated scanner like picrel.

Welp, all 3 of my drives failed.
Decided to start this whole server thing just to pass the time. I'm poor and just used drives from really old computers and laptops I had around. They all started throwing errors after filling them up to 90%. I use snapraid and a lot of the hashes don't match the documented hashes anymore and I've just been syncing them after every file transfer. Maybe that was a bad idea.

I have half a mind to just do a fresh reinstall of everything, Proxmox, OMV, Win10 and all my other stuff. I didn't really use OMV that much and was just playing around with it with files I already had backups of and new files that I couldn't care enough to back up. But maybe I should keep Proxmox. Didn't really do anything with it other than add a few ISOs, which is a new SSD, and created a few VMs also in the same SSD (I'm poor and I really don't want to lose ANOTHER SATA port fora dedicated VM/container drive). But I will delete the Win10 VM and add the IoT LTSC version instead. For OMV I don't really know. Maybe I should start over for a clean install or just delete the mergerfs and snapraid pools and create new ones.

Kinda bummed out about my torrents though. I'm 90% sure they're okay since in Deluge rechecking the hash them doesn't throw any errors at me but I never know. Also these were the files I didn't bother backing up and I did kinda want to keep them. While I could just torrent them again that's kinda annoying plus I would lose my seed ratio.

Well, lesson learned.
Lastly does anyone have any best practices regarding snapraid and mergerfs? I think just syncing whenever I transfer a file was a mistake. Also I'm thinking I should avoid writing directly into the NAS and instead download the files on my main PC, record the hash, transfer the files, compare the hash, and then sync. I don't know, maybe I should read up more on snapraid before properly using it.

>>102224431
Is there a canonical list?

>>102224361
Not exactly. If you unmount a drive it's safe to unplug from power no matter how it's connected. That device is just a cheap and convenient way to connect two drives over one usb/esata cable.
Honestly it's not great. Usb 2.0 speed means you're getting max throughput of half of a single drive. Split between two drives that means they're running at a quarter of the speeds they can, and that's best case scenario. Esata is equally shit and outdated.
Those drive toasters are fine if you have a lot of scattered drives and need to copy data off of them. I wouldn't trust storage over a usb controller for anything I care about.

>>102224623
sata hot swapping works with all sata ports?

>>102224878
If you mean being able to pull out a drive while your computer is running, put in a different one, and have your system detect the new drive then yes that's called sata hot plug. Almost everything supports that now and you can double check that in your bios too (usually configured per port).
That includes external drives too, like ones connected over usb. It's just generally a bad idea to unplug a drive without unmounting it first, even if hot plug technically allows it.

Why can't I ping my home devices without specifying .home?

>>102226350
I don't know what you did but the name router somehow resolves to your local host. Can you ping other devices by name? What dns server are you using, is it configured to expand simple host names?

>>102226350
Assuming you're not doing anything particularly exotic, this could be a configuration of your router and you may be able to change it in your router's settings.
For a standard(ish) consumer setup your device will send it's hostname to the router as part of DHCP, the router may then store that hostname (with the IP) in order to serve DNS requests, it may also add a suffix (such as .home)

The router itself. I don't know about the configuration you ask, but I can tell you than when entering a DNS record it requires a domain, any domain.


What's most confusing is that I can ping one machine by name only, file-server. Only that one and no others.

Yes. There's nothing under Dynamic DNS.

>is it alsowindows?
The device pinging is Windows 10. router is my ISP provided router. pve1 is Proxmox. file-server is a Debian vm running in Proxmox (running smb in a standalone server configuration, just for a network share).

>what happens if you nslookup file-server
Something interesting, see pic: " file-server.home.local" was the old record.

>>102226739
Ok so you're router knows file-server as `file-server` presumably from it's DHCP request, and it answers with the right ip along with possibly a cached old canonical name. that's useful to know.
I'd be curious to see what happens if you
> nslookup pve1
I can't see any reason why your router would return that ip for pve1 unless you had previously entered the wrong ip in static dns and that's cached as well.
Definitely have a poke around the router to see if there's any option to flush caches, a reboot may achieve this, there may be no way for you to achieve this it's just totally dependent on that router.
If you're just looking to avoid sticking .home on things rather than understand the weirdness, have you tried static dns entries without it? the note in the webui about needing a domain is probably nonsense but it could be ISP router enforced weirdness.

Probably a weird question, but is there is there any mass-produced device that's known to ship with a good quality 12v @ 5A (or higher) power supply with a 5.5/2.5mm DC barrel jack?

It's to power a mini itx router and apparently the 60W Meanwell I have handy has a 5.5/2.1mm connector instead, and the damn thing won't fit (granted I could cut the thing and solder on a new connector, but I'm hoping there's an easier option).

I was. But I don't really know how to transfer the torrents over to a new location.
For example it's in my X drive. I make a new mergerfs+snapraid pool and it's my Y drive. In Deluge do I just move the torrents to my Y drive? Then in a new Windows install I download Deluge again and add the torrents again and do a force recheck?
I don't really know how that works.

>>102228711
I don't know anything about mergerfs or snapraid and I've never used Deluge but the process you've outlined with regards to the torrents should work fine assuming Deluge is anything like every other torrent client. If you want to keep your stats for vanity there's no reason you shouldn't be able to copy over the Deluge configuration as well, you just will need to tweak it in app to point to your new location.

I've tried poking here and there but there seems to be no obvious way of dropping the domain requirements from DNS entries. Is this a common thing for home routers?

>>102229171
>Is this a common thing for home routers
I don't know if it's common but there's no reason I'm aware of for it, certainly not a requirement on my router (edgerouter x). Those ISP provided routers vary in quality so much i prefer to take my destiny into my own hands, plus they're usually back-doored - for your convenience -

>>102229171
> Is this a common thing for home routers
If you mean being an absolute pos then yes, that is common.
Some routers have a setting to allow unqualified names to be expanded to the local domain, but yours doesn't seem to. You can try to find a workaround, but i wouldn't count on it.

At this point i would really encourage you to just roll your own dns server. It wont be able to resolve names of dhcp clients, since that is still on your router, but since you are doing static addresses anyways this shouldn't matter. My favorite is dnsmasq, but something more simple like pihole should be all you need.

>>102228428

Is there any risk of having Plex accessible outside my network, if the device has a third-party VPN enabled?

>>102231045
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.
Do you mean Plex is LAN only but devices can VPN in to your LAN, if so what is meant by "third-party" VPN?

In OMV when I copy a single file to the share I then check if the hash matches. And it does. Copy it back from my share to my PC and it also matches.
But when I do large number of files 10% of them aren't matching anymore.

Would a bad RAM have something to do with this too or just a bad drive?
I really want this to be as stable as possible when I actually start using this. The OMV is in a Proxmox VM.
I only did the included memtest in my ThinkStation but didn't actually do a 'proper' memtest with memtest86. As in I need to make a new boot USB and run it for 24-72 hours.

>>102231111
I have plex setup for "remote access" (can be viewed outside of my network) via their option in the admin interface. The computer that hosts plex sometimes has NordVPN running for when I download torrents.

depends on how you set it up. if, for example, the pi's wifi is on 10.41.0.0/24, and the pi's ethernet and your pc are on 10.42.0.0/24, then you would be bridging those two subnets together. if everythings on the same subnet, then all youre really doing is using the pi as a sort of router.

Intel E3 / E-2100 / E-2200 / E-2300 series server CPUs have QSV support for transcoding. Closer to a desktop PC in terms of hardware capability (low amount of cores, 1 socket, 2 DIMMs, 16-24 PCI-E lanes).
Depends on you, but I myself wouldn't buy anything older than E-2200 or Skylake / Cascade Lake Xeon SP.

You can also learn from a system administration course. RHCSA certification comes into my mind first.
If you have the basics down, then you'd throw some of that traditional fundamental practice learned from a course away and start from scratch with Terraform, Ansible or Kubernetes for orchestration and automation, to manage servers and workstations at scale.

Broadwell is fine too

>>102232622
My concerns with Broadwell E5 aren't limited to up to Windows Server 2019 support. A Dell PowerEdge R730 doesn't support BOSS cards for redundant boot drives, and iDRAC8 is EOL (no longer supported).
Plus, there's CPU vulnerabilities pre-Cascade Lake particularly relevant to virtualization which can't be fixed (if you care).

this doesnt matter. random r/w doesnt kill hdds. people seem to think it does and yeah it'll wear out the motors faster than sequential r/w but in the real world its irrelevant.

you should use a file transfer program that does that for you.

No functional RAID5 / RAID6 feature.
Free space is an estimation, which will corrupt your filesystem if you take snapshots and then fill your drives to full.

Probably never. Arguable if it's fine when it's supported by Synology.

>im guessing you didnt do a full test of the disks before using them.
Correct. I just used them so I can do a 'test run' and see how things work. I know one of them was a bad drive with some a few bad sectors already but didn't realize the other two were also bad. I just knew they were all old. Well, lesson learned. I wanted to avoid using badblocks on the HDDs since I hear it takes a long time and there are people (on r*ddit) that doesn't run it so I thought I would be okay but I really should. My new(refurbished) 2 12TB HDD should come in 2 days. Guess it's another waiting game since apparently badblocks takes like, 8 days to finish or some shit.

In the meantime I'm just double checking my RAM. Gonna let this thing run for the rest of today and tomorrow to doubly make sure it's not an issue.

Debian is a vanilla experience, Ubuntu is refined to make it more usable. If you have newer hardware, Debian may not even be an option with its older kernel version.
Canonical (and corporations in general, putting out products on the market at enterprise scale) actually wants your stuff to work, so that you can get a better experience. Canonical puts out security updates in most cases faster than any other GNU/Linux distro, even for universe packages (which would otherwise rely on the community to do its thing) with an Ubuntu Pro subscription.
Snaps are so good for isolating rapidly updating software that cannot follow the pace of a slower LTS cadence. They're there to help you not break your system.

Also Ubuntu is almost twice as popular than Debian, for good reasons. >>102232815

its crypto bs
instead of using a proof of work algorithm (doing math) or using a proof of stake (having a big pile of the crypto already) it uses a proof of storage thing. basically it writes data to your hard drives, reads it back and now however much data it read back is what you're mining with.
of course nobody actually uses it for anything but to speculate.

sticky/internet says
>RAID protects you from DOWNTIME
>BACKUPS protect you from DATA LOSS
internet/people I've talked to say
>You should do backups at least once every 24h
so everyone is fine with losing up to 24h of whatever was going on on the server/drives? I get that you'd probably need a fire or other catastrophic event for that to happen but still. Also I don't believe in 3-2-1 enterprises do tape drive backups more often than twice a week. Isn't that an even bigger potential loss?

I always wondered how giants like GCP/Azure/AWS pull off outages and failures like this. Do they do some magic offsite live filesystem replication? Any good resources for this? Googling shit in 2024 is impossible and chat fucking sucks.

>>102235060
>is fine with losing up to 24h
it's a trade off, and i can trigger it on demand if i've done something unusually effortsome

>>102235060
>so everyone is fine with losing up to 24h of whatever was going on on the server/drives
You decide what your acceptable loss is. It gets exponentially more expensive the lower your acceptable loss. For a super critical document I might dump it to nextcloud, sync it to my phone and save another copy on my desktop until my next backup schedule.
>Also I don't believe in 3-2-1 enterprises do tape drive backups more often than twice a week
321 backups have nothing to do with backup rate. You want your data in 3 places, on 2 different storage mediums 1 being offsite. Some people switch out 2 storage mediums for 2 active mediums but it's basically the same thing.
>I always wondered how giants like GCP/Azure/AWS pull off outages and failures like this
I can't speak for the megacorps but some contracts I work for have entire racks worth of storage they can change out live with no downtime. Everything is redundant even the array controllers themselves with synced RAM.

>>102236330
very normal
you should really test disks though

Haven't tested disks yet. Still testing RAM. 24 more hours and I'll stop it.
I think for testing disks I should install a linux VM and use badblocks. I don't really want to install anything in Proxmox itself.
Then I guess I do a passthrough for that disk to the linux VM and run the test. However I don't know if that would skew the results or something since it's running through a VM.
Or I guess I can boot it from a USB stick and run the test like that, but that would mean my server would be down for a couple of days as I only have one machine.
