I've upgraded my ISP to "Enterprise" because the residential internet got "session limit" limiting its opened TCP/UDP connection.

is there a way to determine how many concurrent session connection limit on my new internet have?

How do you guys do off-site backups?

My upload rate is too slow to do it over Internet, so I rsync stuff I don't want to lose to encrypted high capacity HDDs, wrapped in a faraday bag, which I store in a padlocked pelican case along with a SATA to USB adapter to access them. The case sits at my workplace most of the time, and I take it home for a day every month to update everything with my rsync script. The source file system is btrfs, which does integrity checks, so rsyncing every month should hopefully protect me against a bitrotting backup.

Thought about using tapes, but it's pretty expensive to get started, even when going for used equipment and older LTO standards, and random access sucks with tapes.

I only bought refurbs because it was cheaper. But even if I buy new I would still like to do this test.
I only have one PC (my server) available. Is it better to REMOVE all drives except the ones I am testing and do the test like that? It would suck that I have to shut my server off for a couple of days to let it run but I am willing to do it.
Is it okay if I install Ubuntu in a USB drive and use that to boot from and run the test? I also don't have a spare SSD but I have some Kingston USB drives.

Well, you should REALLY consider using another device as your client and leave your server alone (as in: DO NOT use it as a desktop).

You don't have to remove all your drives, try to get a SATA -> USB enclosure and test the drive without all the hassle

>>102251919
I have a main PC but I turn it off at night. I can't leave it running 24/7. My server PC is the only machine that is on 24/7 so I thought I might as well use it.
And isn't SATA to USB enclosures bad? Because of data dropping for no reason and just overall being slow?

>>102251989
If you have a main PC that you turn off at night then just freaking use it for the sake of testing the drive, or use it as a client throughout the day and turn it off at nights.

They can be problematic if left 24/7 because most (if not all) are chink-tier. But for testing they're good

It sounds like you don't even know how badblocks work. And how USB connections is a bad idea (not to mention it doesn't recognize SMART data).

This would be replacing a Tigerlake engineering sample gaming build that got pressed into NAS duty. I want to replace it because the tower just takes up too much room. I can 3d print a 10" server rack and chassis for an ITX setup and put that in one of my barristers with the door open. The ES CPU is also very inconsistent about letting hardware virtualization extension work. Sometimes I need to reboot 2-3 times to get virtualization to work right. Was a great low power (with a 6600M franken-gpu card) 1080p gayming rig, but it just leaves a lot to be desired for a NAS/homelab-server.

Should I go:
I3-N305 (alderlake) for $275
or
I7-1165G7 (tigerlake) for $301

Pros of the I3-N305:
>newer chip with better cores
>4 more "real" cores than the I7-1165G7
>DDR5
>cheaper
>more positive reviews

Pros of the I7-1165G7:
>Not made of little cores
>has a good AVX-512 implementation (I run gentoo and compile with -mprefer-vector-width=512 system-wide, so the auto-vectorizer does make use AVX512 instructions when it can; mostly has no noticible effect except for stuff like CPU video encoding)
>DDR4 memory is cheaper
>Probably wouldn't need to recompile anything, or reinstall Gentoo, just move my storage over and turn on.

Both will probably be a significant performance drop for stuff like AV1 encoding, but it isn't like it matters if it takes double the amount of time for me to re-encode a porno to AV1. I just a bit torn on which is the better option.

Will the more modern cores in the N305 and the faster DDR5 memory work out better than having AVX512 available for workloads that can take advantage of the instructions?

Is 8 gracemont cores better for VMs and containers compared to 4 hyper-threaded willow cove cores?

I thought that issue was overblown, and limited to a specific contract/lot of i226-V NICs, not ALL i226-V NICs?

Anyways, usb->rj45 or usb->sfp, if they don't work. There are plenty of homelab servers and server clusters that have their connections through such adapters.

Last place you can get TTB sets for free.

In all seriousness, if there is a file you know used to be available online, but cant find anywhere, and the download isn't archived, then there is a decent chance you can find it on usenet.

However, be careful what you get off of usenet. There is very illegal content that is a likely honey-pot. There really isn't anything inherently secure about usenet, other than it is pretty obscure nowadays.

Oh and forgot, in case you go with the i3 I don't think you'd have to think about recompiling provided you used the default flags and not some specific optimizations for your previous CPU

>>102253698
it adds error-checking to memory. it prevents bit-flips specifically in transit from memory to cpu, and vice versa.

>>102253859
>specifically in transit from memory to cpu
Yeah, I don't get what this means. Can you give an example?
If I were to download a text file from the internet, for example '00000000', would ECC prevent a random 0 from turning into 1?

>>102253896
well for starters, stuff from the internet is sent in packets, which compose ssl records, which compose http messages, and each of those layers has its own error-checking. however, the data doesnt go directly from your NIC to the memory, the cpu has to send it over. if the data gets corrupted on its way over to the memory, the cpu will catch it, even without ECC (the error checking is done on the cpu, at least for most protocols). once the raw data is constructed in memory, it now has to go to the hard drive via SATA/SAS or whatever. if you filesystem has error checking, then the data is sent from memory to the cpu, the cpu wraps it in whatever error-checking you file system uses, and then gets sent to the drive controller. if it gets corrupted either during transit or during write, the error-checking can correct it or at least detect it. but what about if the raw data in the memory gets corrupted, either by a wild neutron flipping a bit, or during transit to the cpu? in that particular case, ECC will save you. error-checking already exists all around your system when data is being transferred, but error-checking every single piece of data that gets sent between the cpu and memory is simply too arduous without dedicated hardware for it.

>>102253698
it detects memory errors
it corrects single-bit errors

>the data doesnt go directly from your NIC to the memory

always remember, a rule of thumb: Intel Atom and Mobile chips have no IO. If they have more than 2 SATA ports, they are most likely behind some shitty controller. In this case, it's JMicron, but I'd avoid anything by AsMedia or Marvell too.
For SATA expansion, only use PCIe SAS HBA in IT mode (they work with SATA too).

it is not about bandwidth, it's about reliability. For some reason, every SATA controller brand is fucked in some way. PCIe SATA sounds like something that should have been a solved problem years ago, but somehow it isn't.
My AsMedia based card throws ZFS errors under load on any disk connected to it. Tried different cables, swapped the drives between AHCI and AsMedia, always only the disks currently connected to that AsMedia card threw errors.
People have been reporting the same issue on JMicron and Marvell cards too, so i have no reason to trust those brands as well.
I know it's a meme with jgreco on truenas forums going on crusade against SATA controllers, but it's actually true. I myself thought "i don't need SAS HBA" until i got burned with AsMedia.
Don't risk your data.

OPNSense is better than pfSense.

Plenty of comments pointed out poor implementation of features they rolled out and various other issues.

(You) haven't listed a single valid reason why Anon should use pfSense over OPNSense, especially when they already have a working system and didn't say anything about wanting to switch. That's very odd.

>>102259601
>Valid reason why not to use OPNSense
Fair, go ahead and try to setup a pfSense HA cluster following their docs/instructions. I'll wait.

Spoiler for you: Their documentation sucks and HA doesn't work

Netgate can be shit and whatever but they have a product that works and guess what, routers don't need to be upgraded weekly as long as they work.

irrelevant. jmicron controllers have had horrific bugs in the past and you should steer clear.
you wont find jmicron chips in any motherboard from a reputable brand but asmedia and marvell are very common, marvell less so now. theres good reasons for that.

>>102258435
you use 4096 because thats the native sector size all hdds have used since 2011. on older drives its either 512 or 4096.
if you run it on a formatted drive it should be the blocksize of the filesystem.

>>102262600
update the firmware.

>>102262600
if the firmware is up to date its probably a build quality issue
those m.2 sata controllers on aliexpress are universally poorly made, irrespective of the chip vendor, so theres a good chance that whatever issues you have while using them are due to signalling and interference.

Business equipment gets written off on a tiny lifespan, which is the entire premise of /tpg/.

I've ran websites before, but always payed for hosting as I was lazy and didn't have equipment for a home server, but I've got a synology setup now, and was curious if its a better alternative than paying for someone else to do it.

Hosting is so cheap nowadays, honestly not sure its worth the energy cost of running the NAS 24/7. Trying to figure that out now.

>>102265308
Your experience depends on some factors:
>Amount of users
If that's only for your porn needs then guaranteed it'll be good
>Website bloat
Hosting huge site with tons of JS? It can get painful
>Storage speed & network
Nothing much to say here, the fast both are, the better and the factors above dissapear

That said, you have to take into consideration all 3 in the equation. Of course the less painful would be to locally host a singe porn page for yourself with a very fast SSD. Which as a matter of fact it's my case:

Guise, I think I figured it out. Looks like my 50G qcow2 OPNsense image is full. For some reason that results in dhcp4 going haywire after a while (the only service I restarted to get it working again before noticing "disk 107%" on the dashboard), as opposed to the whole thing not working anymore.

Interesting that restarting the switch also fixed things, but I guess that resulted in dhcp4 restarting too.

Any reason why a password which works fine over ssh and in the WebGUI of OPNsense, but not the console?

>two things. I had to reboot my router and my IP reset so I had to edit it in my conf file. any way to avoid this?
Assign your machine a static IP in your router's settings. If it doesn't allow this, presumably because it's some faggy ISP loaner hardware, it might be time to get a proper router/modem, which I highly recommend anyway.
Never had to deal with wg_easy, but jewgle suggests it's a subnetting conflict, for what it's worth.

whats the point, it'll never be reached.
constant spinup/down causes increased wear on the motor but worrying about it is retarded unless your disks are unusually warm/cold.
set it to 30 minutes (or less) don't bother. 30 minutes is default for many disks.

also your disk probably isnt spinning at its full 7200rpm unless its being used, most idle at 4-5k rpm by default.

What? I'm not familiar with authelia specifically, but have used a handful of other oidc providers before. You just create a new service and then fill in some urls, the client id and maybe a secret in your service configuration. Setting up scopes and groups may take some more time, but maybe 5 minutes max per service.

> Is it even worth the trouble?
Imo yes, very much. It is so much easier to have just one account for all services. I can also create groups for other people and control what they can access centrally.

This thread has inspired me to make a home server. I figured I'd start with a simple file server that can act as my main storage repo.

I have an old pc with twin 12TB WD reds and proxmox installed on a128GB SSD and I plan to create a ZFS pool with both HDDs. For my immediate purposes, is there a better way to go about setting up a file server that is meant to store data longterm and ensure data integrity?

>>102290539
Hows your linux knowledge?

>>102290539
This won't work well, for a few reasons. You haven't mentioned a HBA to passthrough to a storage controller to a NAS virtual machine. You're using an old PC, instead of server hardware. You're missing at least two more identical HDDs to utilize striped mirrors (RAID10) for performance, or alternatively you're not using flash storage everywhere. Lastly, you're using ZFS, which is practically experimental or unsupported in anything but Proxmox VE; PVE also doesn't give you in-depth storage administration capabilities by itself, for setting up SMB / NFS shares and permissions.

>>102289310
outdated shit

>>102286379
wg is easier to configure, has a very small codebase, and it outperforms the other options. What's not to like? Simple is better.

>hey guys this is /enterprise general/ not /homelab general/ right?

>>102290616
I dabble in RHEL and Debian based distros. I have dd'd before.

>>102290617
You are correct, I left HBA out because I was hoping Proxmox VE would handle the pools itself.
>PVE also doesn't give you in-depth storage administration capabilities by itself, for setting up SMB / NFS shares and permissions.
One reason I went with PVE over, say, TrueNAS Scale was because I wanted to make use of its hypervisor for future expansions. For example, I was thinking of having a Windows VM for whenever the need arises, or some lite distro where I can run pihole, squid, lighttpd, etc. Sorry for moving goalposts, but is what I'm desiring not looking like it's a good fit for PVE?

>>102287330
>>102290713
Simpler does not mean more secure. How are you integrating multi-factor authentication (e.g. hardware security keys) and single sign-on with it?

>>102290833
You will need better hardware, that's why I didn't suggest other software because it can't fix your inadequate hardware or it would be unsupported on your hardware.
The hypervisor is your choice after all, but Proxmox VE isn't truly ready for large enterprises for enjoyment.
Look into setting up hyperconverged storage with your next goal.

>>102290833
>I dabble in RHEL and Debian based distros. I have dd'd before.
Well, first thing you want to do..
imagine you have important data there
imagine mofo failed
what will be your go-to procedure to get to the data on those 2x zfs pool

My old wifi router is slowly falling apart and I was wondering what /g/ is thinking of BananaPi routers.
Mainly for running OpenWRT in a home network.

>>102291132
We're not /g/, this is our chat. No OpenWRT allowed.

>>102291132
all armshit devices must fucking hang
that's what i think

there are refurbished mini pcs with pcie slot, buy a riser + 4 port nic at around 4W idle
dont buy n100 chinkshit

>>102291132
>>102291193 (Me)
In /hsg/, tinkering is avoided, ease of administration is preferred. Adoption by enterprises and the availability of enterprise support contracts is a priority, for enjoyment. OpenWRT does not have fit in, it has no corporate backing, lacks features and support compared to off-the-shelf router and firewall hardware.

Regarding Banana Pi and other chink shit:

I don't terminate my VPNs on my firewall, i have a router for that. Also >>102289591.

Well yes they are going to say its a Technology Preview because they don't want to be liable for it. This doesn't mean that its experimental though.

> support for wireguard in distributions
Last time i checked every relevant linux distribution ships a kernel with wireguard support.

> Managing at scale / mfa
Netbird or Tailscale / headscale

>>102290532
I need av1 though for the quality at low bitrates. ARC meets my needs and doesn't require me to change CPU and chipset/motherboard.

>>102291101
that's a good thought experiment. Assuming my drives aren't encrypted (which I don't plan to), I understand that you should export zpools regularly via `zpool export`. I don't really know what it exports or how big of an export it is, but having that handy is something I was planning to do. Backing it up would be another topic, but if it's a tiny file, I was going to keep it on a thumb drive and somewhere in the cloud. Restoring a new mobo would be a matter of running `zpool import` with the export I backed up twice.

How's that?

>>102291079
I have a friend who is looking to get rid of a Jonsbo N1 case with an Intel 12thgen i5 and (I believe) 32GB of DDR5 RAM. Would that change anything? Would an HBA be required still if the idea is to manage ZFS via PVE directly? Or Should I just accept that ZFS isn't meant to be managed by PVE?

>>102291379
But then you aren't talking about server hardware anymore. You're using a consumer graphics card, which has no support from major OEM e.g. Dell (unlike Intel Flex).
This really sounds like it's not server discussion, but your desktop PC or workstation.

For those of you sharing jellyfin shares with your friends and family, is there anything I can do so they can stream 4k remuxes from the homeserver? Bandwidth wise, I have symmetric fiber gigabit, and they have gigabit download, but we still get a lot of playback freezing when trying to direct stream, even though latency is only around 20ms. If I do a speedtest to my server from a friend's house I get 400mbps or so. Not sure what the problem is.
Would a VPS help at all to ensure better routing between our residential ISPs?

>>102291132
if I get a faster internet connection that's the one I'm going with, it looks pretty nice (and ignore enterpriseschizo, openwrt is great)

>>102291411
export is just something like proper safe unmount
if it was not exported then during mount on some other system you will have to use -f flag to force it

the rest I have no idea what you are talking about, what file backing up...

also you might want to investigate snapraid and mergerfs, thought thats more on case where you have like many various size drives

>>102291411
Typically consumer hardware is ill-advised, particularly for ZFS' reliability, but also due to lack of remote server management capabilities. ECC memory is recommendable. Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC processors are used in servers, with much better support for server use cases.
If you intend to create NAS volumes and passthrough a storage controller (HBA) to a storage VM, you'll (obviously) need a HBA. Note your hypervisor's boot drive(s) can't be on the same HBA in that scenario. ZFS doesn't play well with hardware RAID cards.
PVE can create a ZFS pool for you from the web UI, however practically ZFS needs to be managed in the CLI with it. PVE handles creating zvols automatically (with local storage) for virtual machines on PVE. For iSCSI management, it's a bit lacking in features.

Had big fucking 1700 words comment ready with TL;DR at top and details and pastebin links
decided to put docker compose in to chatgpt if it sees some issues..
yeap, mongo db binmount I had as
`./mongo_db_data:/data`
should have been
`./mongo_db_data:/data/db`

it all worked, even on power outages
but it never worked if I downed it and upped it again

so I also asked chatgpt if theres difference between poweroutage and downing.. seems there is
and Ive been in to docker for 3 years and still dunno this stuff
chat is fucking good though

That's fine to start with. Most people recommend having mirrored SSDs for proxmox too but it's not strictly necessary. Proxmox will make a zfs pool of the single 128gb ssd and you can add a second one as a mirror later, I would just setup automatic zfs send backups of your proxmox ssd to the 12tb disks in case it fails for whatever reason.
What will you use to share the storage? ZFS has built in SMB/NFS sharing you can customize per dataset which is how I setup mine.

>>102264079
yeah, manually set your link to 10gb in your switch if you can, might work. might not be compatible with whatever switch or nic you have, although i've never had any issues with /other/ branded equipment, and all of my networking equipment is ubiquiti. I have a ubiquiti copper sfp and a 10g tek module and both have always been plug n play.
>>102264468
nigga an sfp cable? (multimode) fiber is fiber.

>>102290532
no xeon aside from workstation xeons that aren't actually xeons have quicksync support bud.
>>102289632
hardware encoding on my media server? retard?

>>102289310
>Have you seen WireGuard support in Palo Alto Networks or FortiGate firewalls,
no, because those appliances use SSL split tunneled VPN and ipsec is not recommended for use anymore, which you would know if you actually worked with any of this equipment. wireguard isn't useful for managing endpoints, it's just for VPN, realistically.

you're inexperienced at best and being disingenuous at worst.

>>102249977
i think your first question is a server that can accept that amount of connections from a single ip

>>102290617
>Lastly, you're using ZFS, which is practically experimental or unsupported in anything but Proxmox VE;
LMFAO

>>102292733
Xeon W processors don't have QuickSync Video capability, and Xeon E are entry level server Xeons typically found in entry level 1U servers (those without Xeon SPs).

>>102290539
>For my immediate purposes, is there a better way to go about setting up a file server that is meant to store data longterm and ensure data integrity?
Just make an iscsi virtual disk in proxmox and pass it through to windows server (instead of ZFS pool with the two HDD's) with only the storage services installed, and you will have probably the easiest, fastest out of the box NAS experience you can get, aside from running a dedicated NAS OS on bare metal, assuming you're set on using a dedicated hypervisor. You could probably install Truenas scale and get an easier experience if you care less about VM's (you probably should since i doubt you have many corez or RAM)

I would suggest just going ahead and installing Truenas, and buying the most ram that you can afford that your old PC will support, and then making a raidz1 pool. eventually, get an LSI HBA and you can throw more HDDs in it - just be aware you can't add drives to raidz1, you can make new pools, but you'll learn more about that later.

Buy an intel ARC card and do hardware transcoding, you can set it up so the GPU is doing transcoding instead of your families clients.

>>102292831
Those are just i5's with the ecc memory flag turned on and are /actually/ borderline e waste.

>>102292712
>nigga an sfp cable? (multimode) fiber is fiber.
hes right though
many switches refuse to work with DACs of another brand

>>102289791
Is the a310 a suitable card for servers generally? It's cheap, how's the support in Linux?

>>102292866
>you can't add drives to raidz1
you can add drives to a raidz vdev.
its been a feature of openzfs for over 2 years.

>>102291457
you could monitor network, disk, gpu and cpu utilization for starters

>>102293126
He's not using a DAC, Anon.
>>102293133
It's fine, plenty of people use them.
>>102293190
yeah, but it's not supported in Truenas yet, or at least it wasn't a couple months ago.

>>102291457
whats your server hardware

>>102293439
>He's not using a DAC
>Ubiquiti 10G copper SFP

>>102293133
Not supported by OEMs in servers.

>>102292924
Borderline e-waste because they are 4-8 cores, single socket processors, and licensing requirements per server is 16 cores minimum. Right?

>>102293489
Anon, what do you think a DAC is?
>>102293601
Because motherboards dont exist and there are better options.
>licensing
shut up.

I’ve got a nice little optiplex from work that in planning to use as my anime server. Deciding between plex, emby and jellyfin. It’s mainly gonna be for streaming anime so I was wondering if you fucks had any good rec?

>>102293816
I use jellyfin and i've pretty much never had an issue with it. Just try Jellyfin first because it's opensores, and then if you dont like it or have issues, try Plex. you could grab an a310 eco for $99 burger bux, and have a nice little machine

>>102292894
Thanks anon, but I want to avoid transcoding, the point is to direct play. At the very least, how come the speed test and latency don't estimate actual playback?
>>102293324
I monitor all of these, the limitation is definitely network. Direct play works fine on LAN.
>>102293445
It's all desktop grade parts, but more than sufficient for this. Again, it's just high bitrate 4k remuxes, everything else works fine. It's not a dv/hdr client issue either.

>>102293951
Awesome sounds like a plan thanks anon
