If I have a home server with a Ryzen 5000 series CPU with no iGPU, can I still get software rendered output via the motherboard DP slots, or is it 100% completely black? I just want the ability to get to a terminal and edit bios without buying a GPU for emergency recovery scenarios.

>>102295317
This is why you should have a server motherboard with a BMC. Whether you have iGP or not is irrelevant for video output, it's only good for compute in servers if you have it.

>>102295317
You can just ssh in over LAN for a terminal.
>edit bios
Yes, for this you will need a GPU on desktop hardware.

anyone else use grafana for monitoring? i am a total newbie but this is my latest creation

>>102295522
My issue is that the device is also going to virtualize my router, so if something goes wrong with that VM I won't have access to the machine at all.

It has a dedicated GPU as well, but that GPU is being passed to a different VM and not staying in the host OS. Although I should be able to get into UEFI via that, as it's the OS that handles passing the GPU into the VM and the OS hasn't been initialized at that point. I just really don't want to buy a second GPU just so I have emergency access to the host OS.

I have so many problems with proxmox that I'm so tempted to just fucking buy Unraid. Holy shit. It's just one problem after another.

I love you, Home Server General anons.

>>102296055
It is a real problem though since whenever I do a checksum it does not match the original. It happens whenever I copy/paste/do anything with files inside the NAS VM.

>>102296103

>>102295851
Your NIC is shit, try this:

# ethtool -K eno1 gso off gro off tso off tx off rx off

Most likely I'd happen with Unraid as well

>>102296523
Downgraded to kernel 6.8.4-2 instead. Seems to work so far. It's the integrated NIC in my P510 motherboard, maybe someday I'll get a proper NIC.

>>102296523
>Your NIC is shit
Whatever NIC he has is getting poorly abstracted into a generic generic device by his hypervisor and then being presented to the guest VM as a virtual Intel gigabit NIC. That translation process is probably what's causing the problem, and I bet it would work fine on a bare metal install.

>>102296548

either give it a static ip and plug it into your switch or just plug a cable in when you need it and use 169.254.x.x

>>102295851
what does this mean

>>102296741
No idea. But every time I try to use my checksum program for files in my NAS it always outputs something different. Like one file would be 12345 on the first run, then the second run it would change to 45678. I thought it was a failing drive but I think this was the issue. Because after using my checksum program again it's been very consistent.

What makes you still yap about this? The answer is obvious, invest into your hardware and rearchitect your infra to not depend on a virtualized router and a desktop motherboard. This is /hsg/.

>>102297081
You will not experience the best support experience while using non-validated third-party components in an OEM server. Using these third-party components introduces significant risks to your data environment and may make problems difficult to diagnose.

>>102300691
>Is a 5600G enough for NAS plus some other minor stuff?
More than enough, I've setup NAS and homeservers with WAY less powerful hardware
>Also is ECC necessary or can I just use regular ram?
You can use regular RAM. ECC is a nice to have but certainly not necessary

>>102300420
hosting your own instance internally on your network is not what airgapped means

>>102300709
Thanks. One more question, I found SAS controllers with RAID support on my local secondhand site. Can I use them without RAID so I can use software RAID? I don't want to get into hardware RAID.

>>102301055
>Can I use them without RAID so I can use software RAID?
You should be able to, yes. Might as well double check the device's specs
>I don't want to get into hardware RAID.
Good, hardware RAID sucks and is obsolete

>>102301055
Most controllers have this feature, but especially older ones may not. Look for "HBA" or "JBOD" modes. Depending on the card you could also get away with creating a pool for each drive, but i would avoid this.

I don't want to deal with this too. I only need to expand my SATA ports, nothing too fancy.
>>102301073
On device specs it should list HBA or JBOD right?

>On device specs it should list HBA or JBOD right?
Yessir

>>102302310
You don't. No major browser supports sending "raw" tcp/udp requests. You would need to have a server in the middle that "proxies" from http to whatever you want to do.

>>102294680
Is the shield pro still the best option for running the jellyfin client on my TV or is there something better

>>102303124
Yes. I usually recommend running a vpn on the vps and then connecting from you homeserver to the vps to avoid nat. Then route incoming traffic from your VPS to the vpn client. I would recommend haproxy for this, since it supports layer 4 and proxy-protocol. Then on your homeserver listen for connections on the vpn interface and enable proxy-protocol.

>>102300420
so make one up and have your router give it out

My E5-2690 v4 arrived much earlier than expected. Time to try it out.

Looking for solutions for a fairly specific use-case. I have a home media server currently running on a ThinkCentre M910s that lives on a shelf on my entertainment center, and that's working great for my needs. Gonna need to start thinking about storage expansion options very soon, but the number of drives the server can hold is pretty limited, as it's only got 2 slots for 3.5" drives. I've been thinking of doing either a small form-factor NAS that could live right next to the server box on the same shelf and I could map my media library to a share from that plus use it for more general storage shit and other things in the future, or potentially just getting some kind of external drive enclosure and connecting that directly to the server.

I'd want it to have at least 4 drive bays ideally and the real pain in the ass is for it to live where I want it, it'd need to be around 7.5 inches tall or less which is proving difficult to specify in searches when looking for options. If going the NAS route I have some old hardware I could potentially reuse for the internals, but all the boards I have at the moment are ATX so if I went with something that can only support mATX or ITX I'd need to source one as well.

Not necessarily just looking for the cheapest possible option, but cheaper is always better of course. Any thoughts/ideas?

>>102302972
Is there any specific brand I should avoid? Like Fujitsu or Dell.

>>102304502
I guess I could theoretically just get a 4U rackmount chassis and shove it on the shelf if needed, wouldn't be the most elegant solution but it could work.

DAS. Direct-attached storage.
Don't get a usb one if you go that way.
QNAP make the TL-D800S (8 drives) and TL-D400S, both are ok but not cheap.
Much cheaper to go with a diy das if you want more than 4 drives. A cheap second hand sas hba with external sff-8088 ports (LSI 9211-8e etc), any enclosure that can hold your hdds and a power supply plus a couple cheap cables etc from aliexpress is all you need.
Add a sas expander if you want more disks than your sas hba supports.

>>102309829
Good info here, any tips on actually finding an enclosure that would work for something like this and fits the needs I threw out there? (low-profile size, at least 4 drive bays, ideally ATX compatible but not strictly necessary)

My roommate and I are both in the market for new computers. Both of our systems are 10+ year old ewaste and there's not really anything worth repurposing. Ignoring ownership concerns, will we benefit from configuring our current machines as thin clients and connecting to VMs on a shared server? My budget is $1000 and I mostly do gaymen and recreational AI shit in the evenings, his is $2000 and he does architectural work that involves real-time raytracing during the day. We have maybe 10 or 15% overlap in usage at the most. What software can manage resource allocation for us? For example, I'd want all of the server's hardware available to either one of us if the other is logged off, but I want him to be able to take the GPU if he's working and drop back to the IGP if he's just watching youtube or playing minecraft, which is the most demanding thing he does when he isn't working.

>>102294680
fellow home server chads,
I want a solution for easily accessible hotswap drive bays.
Id like to use my own custom hardware instead of the shitty cpus and OS's baked into NAS's. So which route should I go here:

- Mount a NAS to my server over gigabit connection
- Connect a DAS to my server over USB
- Buy a new case with hotswap bays built in

>>102310439
DAS over USB4 is probably the simplest option, buying a new case is probably the most compact.

>>102309994
not really, my das is a regular atx mid tower.
before that my home server was 4x1tb drives crammed into an ancient compaq sff p4 shitbox that i gutted. i used special rubber spacers designed for stacking hdds but i cant find them online anywhere anymore. was going to just use foam rubber spacers before i found those.
you could do something similar with a newer sff chassis and a tfx power supply i suppose

heres my shopping list from when i put together my current das. i updated it a bit since prices were off.
https://pastebin.com/raw/26V0YL1z

>ATX compatible
as in motherboard or psu? theres a few chassis that smaller SIs use that fit matx boards and tfx power supplies. you see them in schools a lot here. no idea who makes them or what to search for though.
if you want to spend a bit more theres the jonsbo cases but those take sfx power supplies iirc.

>>102310439
>gigabit nas
yuck
>usb das
yuck
looks like your only option is to buy a new chassis anon. or buy one of those ancient tower cases with 12 5.25" bays and a bunch of hotswap cages.

>>102310511
why did they make usb confusing? now it does pcie as well?!?!

>>102310590
Could be wrong, but the way I understand it is USB4 is just USB4, Thunderbolt is USB4+DisplayPort+PCIe and uses either miniDP or USB-C plugs.

>>102310561
>as in motherboard or psu?
mobo, I'd want to get a new PSU no matter what so I don't care what it uses there.

I'll take a look at some of the stuff you mentioned, might be able to get somewhere with it

>>102310719
Oh, I looked it up and it looks like USB4 now has all of the stuff from Thunderbolt in it, Thunderbolt is now just a specific set of requirements whereas the USB spec has a variety of levels for each feature that manufacturers can choose from.

Can I make a home server with 2tb for less than $500?

>>102310401
I'll tell you straight up you can't afford virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) with licensing costs. Not when Intel Flex 140 GPU alone is $2000+, NVIDIA vGPU costs "fuck you" and licensing for remote virtualized Windows desktops has an enterprise price tag.
Several multiplayer games' anti-cheat systems don't play nicely with virtual machines.

So doing some more research on my question here, it sounds like my only option for doing this on a card like a 4090 (or 5090) would be by using GPU-PV in Hyper-V, which requires Windows guests (although WSL in the guest might be an option?), and seems to allow modifying CPU/memory allotments only while the VMs are shut down. Is that correct?

>>102304868

I fucked up and used Windows for the first go at my homelab. I've digitized a significant portion of my media collection and it's all on NTFS.

I want to move over to Linux, but I don't know a safe way to convert all of my media from NTFS to a supported filesystem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I recall Mint having NTFS support and offhand I don't believe that Mint has any disadvantages I care about when considering my use case compared to other distros. Any advice or info in this regard is helpful.

>>102312066
>tower server
Why?

>>102312272
Backup and restore. If you have two live machines, rsync or something.
Honestly NTFS isn't even bad with Windows Server for a NAS. It's easy to manage SMB shares and authentication on a Windows Server.

>>102312272
You should be able to connect a linux machine to an NTFS drive just fine, assuming you have another drive you can shuffle things over to just rsync then reformat that drive and make it whatever you want.

>>102311005

>>102312272
you dont need a specific distro to use ntfs. ntfs support has been in the kernel for ages.
desktop distro on a server is pretty silly. waste of resources running X/wayland for a desktop you should never use.
safest way to move everything off of ntfs is to buy new drives and just copy them over with rsync. run rsync twice, with --checksum flag the second time if you're paranoid.

>>102312066
pretty cool

2tb is plenty if you delete what you consumed and don't hoard

2TB of memory?
I think thats more than plenty. Pretty ludicrous actually. I don't think I've ever seen a server with 2TB of memory, though I'm sure they exist.
Dunno how not hoarding is supposed to make much difference though

What is it about home lab and home servers that just attracts a lot of snobbish people?

OpensSUSE MicroOS seems like a good candidate for a server OS. I was looking at immutable Fedora distros earlier but I couldn't wrap my head around them for server use.

How is a ryzen 3600x as a home server cpu? Does it idle low enough? I upgraded my desktop and have the 3600x already.
I'd mostly use this as a backup site, media server (jellyfin and *arr stack), and SMB share. Either zfs or btrfs with a couple hard drives.

>>102317087
Nah
Sell it and get a 4650G

>>102296634
>Are you telling me Proxmox is shit?
Yes. So is Unraid and every other similar product. Just install a normal Linux distro.

>>102317106
Why, better idle? I don't need hardware transcoding so the igpu presence isn't important to me.

A shining example of what's wrong with open source projects.

Honestly when I said *arr stack I just meant the main ones for movies/tv, plus maybe jellyseerr for requests.

My router doesn't support Hairpint/loopback NAT.
I have on AdGuard Home created a DNS rewrite from anon-cloud.com to my internal server 192.168.100.10, so I can keep using the domain name in the LAN or outside.
But now I want to do the same for my WireGuard VPN, anon-cloud.com:51820 to 192.168.100.20:51820
I can't rewrite DNS for a port, how should I proceed so I can leave the VPN active even in the LAN ?

Anyone using truenas scale?
Does rootless podman and vm pci passthrough work properly on it?
As a related question, do people prefer rootless podman over rootful docker? I always considered running docker containers as root to be too much of a security risk so i used rootless podman instead

>>102318570
Im not sure i fully understand what you are trying to do (or why for that matter). My understanding is that you have two local servers, one running as anon-cloud.com and another one which runs wireguard. The easiest way to differentiate them would be to give them different (dns) names. You could just create a subdomain for your vpn and rewrite that in adguard home.

>>102319064
Use Rocky if you want a well supported podman host . It doesn't have a good web GUI for managing containers but if you manage podman with cli its the best host .

I run all podman containers in privaliged mode inside the container then run the pod or container as a separate unprivileged user . I find this makes all containers designed to run as root docker work while still getting all the security advantages of rootless podman .

>>102319222
I was thinking of just using regular debian, i was hoping truenas scale might have some kind of extra benefit of zfs support and its web gui
The only issues i've had with rootless podman was filesystem permissions for volumes and dealing with pihole since unprivileged users arent supposed to be using port 53

>>102319351
>pihole port 53
Dont run it with a privaliged port and instead have your the DNS server on your router reach out to pihole on port 9001 or what ever

>>102319351
Debian is great , simple and dependable but a little less secure than Rocky

>>102319497
But if you do that pihole won't properly log which client was responsible for which dns request right?

>>102319529
Works fine for me
I use Ad guard home but I assume pihole works the same way

>>102319572
Pihole is just dnsmasq under the hood
I might try that then, but instead ill run a dns server on the same server as the pihole container
The only other solution i found was to do an nftables rule to port forward 53 to the container port

what services should i host on my state of the art rpi3?

i run latest truenas scale. it's been super rock solid, but i'm thinking of just abandoning it and going with plain old debian, which is run for my servers. does anyone prefer debian over truenas? should i do this instead? or just stick with truenas? kinda want my mediastack on the server which is why im thinking of doing this. truenas docker blows and is very inflexible

Assuming it fits someone's needs, Is there any reason not to use an all in one dashboard like CasaOs over more a fragmented server?

>>102314892
You'll be fine, yes they will run at sata 3 speeds.

>>102319822
i'm basically in the same situation as you and am probably just going to use debian over truenas

>>102315652
Just to confirm anons other post, yes on ZFS. ZFS uses a fucking boatload of memory, but there's not really another way to get max out sata3 on HDDs, I'd imagine, lmao.

>>102319852
The flexibility of having ubuntu server or something with all of the shit you want installed yourself instead of a pre-made OS is why. Realistically, what does this offer over Ubuntu server for example, or any pre-made hypervisor with said OS running on it
If you want to use it nobody is faulting you that's just why they're popular btw, I don't want to come off like I'm shitting on whatever you're shilling.

My laptop is in and out of the LAN very frequently, I would like if possible to remove the task of switching on and off the VPN.

anon-cloud.com -> public IP
I have open all the port and redirect them to 192.168.100.10 (Synology with most service) and only 51820 to 192.168.100.20 (Pi4 with WireGuard).
The subdomain would still go the the public IP of my network and I can't (afaik) create a CNAME with a domain and port, only domain.

>>102317127
the am4 apus (-G) are monolithic, no io die. the io die uses 10w+ on its own. that goes for the non-g cpus that are -G parts with disabled igpus as well (R5 5500, for example)

>>102320190
No, just do 10gb. 5g would be worth if you could get all the hardware. 10gb is widely available, and cheap, because sfp+ and 10gbps fiber is like a 15yo standard.

>>102320144
>I don't want to come off like I'm shitting on whatever you're shilling.
Nah, i don't take it that way. Obviously there are limitations to how these all in one dashboards are set up and any convenience offered is an inconvenience to another. I was just wondering if there's any stink associated with CasaOs that would sway me away from throwing it on a NAS for parents.

>>102320356
>I was just wondering if there's any stink associated with CasaOs that would sway me away from throwing it on a NAS for parents.
I've never heard of it, but I do think Truenas would be pretty good for this purpose. Throw plex or jellyfin in a docker container, it handles ACL & authentication for SMB (and NFS) pretty well, it's fast, etc. If whatever appliance you plan on using doesn't have a ton of memory (less than 16gb) it's probably a non starter though.

>>102320356
All of these "convenient" web gui frontends just make things more difficult to troubleshoot compared to using the cli manually

>>102320210
Yes, you can only create dns records for domains / IPs (well you can create srv records with ports, but that will not help you in this case). Here is what i would do:
Create a cname record vpn.anon-cloud.com -> anon-cloud.com on your nameservers.
Create a redirect for vpn.anon-cloud.com -> 192.168.100.20 on you adguard
Configure wireguard to use vpn.anon-cloud.com as the endpoint

If possible i would still try to toggle the vpn some other way. I have a script that runs when i dock / undock my laptop which turns the connection off / on for example.

>>102295839
Proxmox is overbloated shit
Don't get what's stopping people from just using debian with libvirt

Doesn't matter. Cnames may take longer to resolve. If you create an a record, you have to update both records if you change the ip. Take your pick

Those are usually locked down and remotely provisioned with data and logins that might change occasionally, you can't just plug&play any device there

Look into openid connect / oauth2. There are id providers which allow you to authenticate via an external oauth2 provider.

>>102321841
It will probably have an option to set it into gateway mode. Do that and then you can plug your router into it.

>>102321508
Searxng or 4get. There's not really a point to self-hosting a search aggregator though, since you're still sending queries to Google from your own IP. At that point it's just an alternative front end.

The cooler is a placeholder, I intend to use any cheap AM4 compatible stock cooler I can find.
The PSU and case (Gladius M35) are from my old PC.
Can I disable the iGPU in the 4650G PRO for hopefully better power savings? (Or is the R5 5600 better perhaps in terms of perf-per-watt and idle power draw?)
Is it better to get 3200-CL22 or the 2666-CL19 shown in the image? The price difference from deals I found negligeble
Is this motherboard any good or should I keep looking?

Lastly, should I run RAIDz2 on all 4 of the drives or ZFS mirror on two different machines with two drives (for backups or in case of failure)?

>Lastly, should I run RAIDz2 on all 4 of the drives or ZFS mirror on two different machines with two drives (for backups or in case of failure)?
Realistically, how much are you going to care if your media files get killed? At 12 TB it's unlikely but not unheard of for a second drive to fail while trying to recover the array. How much would you care? Do you care for all of the data or just a select smaller amount?

>>102330366
>Do you care for all of the data or just a select smaller amount?
definitely the latter
raidz2 it is

>>102330298
With 4 drives, I would run two stripped mirror vdevs and set it store copies of the important files on both vdevs. That gives you a moderate performance boost, makes it easier to expand (because you can do it 2 drives at a time, rather than needing to buy another 4), and you don't lose the important stuff unless literally all four drives die at the same time.

perf/watt maybe, idle power draw certainly not. Stick with the APU.

Chat, previously I said I would setup ADDS and ADCS dedicated to managing VMware vSphere logins on my homeserver.
At workplace, there's SCCM-managed Windows 10 computers and Intune managed Windows 11 computers. We're converting everything to be Intune managed; users can't login with FIDO2 security keys to Windows 10 computers at this moment, and we're not interested to setup smart card PIV with ADCS for them and their keys.
I think I'm an Intune convert at home now. It's not an Active Directory replacement, but it makes some things like passwordless login and OOBE setups so much easier than doing the traditional on-prem ways.

>>>/g/pcbg

Buy a prebuilt, whether it's a NAS or a server, if you must. Validated ECC memory support, with a server CPU and a motherboard with a BMC, is a must to be a member of our chat.

As for four HDDs, striped mirrors (RAID10) is the best option for performance and the only one I recommend with HDDs.

16 GB RAM is very little for a server. It's not untypical for single-socket servers to have 64-128 GB RAM, and dual-socket servers to have 256-768 GB or more RAM.

Expect anything to last its warranty period, depending on the seller.

why are there no alder lake (n100) business micro minis
only chinkshit devices seem to use it

>>102333392
Only CPU, Motherboard (potentially) are new. As for why - I can't find decent comparable secondhand parts in my country with a price that would justify buying them. For example, a R5 5600 secondhand is 25$ cheaper compared to the new OEM 4650G PRO.

>>102334565
If the seller is Tech on Tech then they're the same ones from serverpartdeals. They are pretty reputable.

Why can't you buy a e atx n100 board?

>>102335837
because you're a n100gger

>We hobbyists try to build our *homeservers* as closest to an actual enterprise (read: company) server as possible,
that's not ture
every person has a different usecase for their homeserver
some people just need a router, some people just need a nas, some people just want a nas to also host services, some don't
everyone's use-case is different

>how do you justify buying HDD in batches whenever you want to increase your storage?
justify? what do you mean by justify? i have money and i spend it, i'm an adult, i don't need to justify how i spend my money to anyone. and i'm not poor so i can afford it. and i buy every few years, and by few i mean like 7-10 years. so there is no justifying why i'm spending the money to myself, it's money well spent. and my rule is that i buy at least 2-3x bigger than what i had, which is plenty for the future. this previous buy i bought so big that i haven't even used almost any of it, i should be good for like 10 more years at this point. so my recommendation to you is probably at least 3x what you previously had. for example if you were running 10tb, you should buy 40tb. if you had 40tb you should probably buy like 100 or 120tb

is this true? I don't want to be bullied.

i wish i wasnt poor. 40k/year isnt nearly enough. and this is before taxes

>>102333360
i'm talking about hobbiests too, if you use podman you will never ever believe what i'm saying because podman retards are hyper fanatical and they can honestly go fuck themselves. i don't care at all about podman users, they don't live in reality. most all people use docker, if you don't believe me that's not my problem, that's your problem. but that is the case and there's no amount whining or crying you can do to change that

>>102337364
40k is really really bad, i feel bad, get a better job, or even just a second job. how old are you?

also my bad. i made a type. i make 50k a year before taxes. to be exact it's around 56k a year

Kubernetes is also podman right?

>the popular thing must be the better one

>>102337405
you can do better than 40k at 32, if you keep pushing hard i guarantee in the next 2-3 years you can make at least 20-30k more. you can do it bro. do it for the larger storage pool! 120tb here we come, then you'll never have to buy ever again.

newegg has: Seagate Exos X20 ST20000NM007D 20TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
listed for: $334.99
so that's 8 20TB drives in a Z3 for $2680

you should aim for this as a goal!

>>102337458
sorry but i don't care about podman, you're not converting anyone by being an annoying fanatic about security. you can go kill yourself though, let me know when you did that

I have two wireless openwrt routers, I made (router A) client (Hotel WiFi) & have configured (router B) as accesspoint. The routers are connected with cat cable on the two switch ports.

I can't ping 8.8.8.8 from router B or from a device connected to router B.

I am able to ping 8.8.8.8 from router A.

What am I doing wrong?

>>102337440
no it used to use "docker" but it has changed to providing interfaces that can be used modular
for example it has a container runtime interface that can use containerd which is a docker component or it can use cri-o which was developed by red hat

>>102337362
It is

>16 GB RAM is very little for a server. It's not untypical for single-socket servers to have 64-128 GB RAM, and dual-socket servers to have 256-768 GB or more RAM.

You're making a mistake about ram. Home servers should see no more than 3 simultaneous users.

>>102337878
>Home servers should see no more than 3 simultaneous users.
It's not about the amount of users but the amount of services you have running.
Ex.: My Minecraft VM alone takes 16GB of mem. If you ask why, well, I went full autist and designed a multi-world game for my buddies. They enjoy it so I don't care

>>102337878
>Home servers should see no more than 3 simultaneous users.
this is the stupidest thing i've ever read in this general

>>102337610
Have you configured the port on router b as a wan port?

>>102337936
That is an accomplishment. Nothing to be proud of but still an accomplishment.

Which is better, CMR, SMR or PMR. I don't really know the difference.

If I want to switch from docker what should I be using as a replacement? Is there anything that is easy to use and spin up as docker is with a similar variety and quantity of pre-made images? I'd rather not make my own unless I really have to. Is Podman better? lxc?

>>102338625
To add onto this, I'd want something as easy to spin up as docker compose is.

>>102338659
podman-compose should be compatible with docker-compose

what happened to the olf installgentoo site?

>>102338941
>dont know about pmr either, in short: just go for cmr
Yeah...thing is when I look at the data sheet for specific HDD they say PMR. No mention of SMR or CMR. But apparently, according to R*ddit all CMR and SMR drives are all PMR. PMR came first then it branched out to CMR and SMR.

Looking to buy a rackmount NAS enclosure. It's got a backplane with mini SAS on it, as well as cables that breaks the SAS out into SATA. I'll probably need a PCIe SAS card, and those seem to come with cables that break the SAS out into SATA as well. Can I just get a single mini SAS cable and hook the PCIe card up to the backplane? Will that work? My assumption is yes, but I've got no experienced with SAS so I don't know if there's some fuckery involved.

Podman is usually the alternative to docker
Podman has a podman-compose that should be compatible
I don't get the issue with using a shell script over a yaml file, they're doing the same thing

>>102340427
concession to what? this makes no sense. everyone uses plain docker, bye

I use Docker but, in Podman's defense, it is bundled with distros so that's nice
