Hello, buying a new NIC might not even fix the issue. I don't even think it's the NIC. Because why is it that it works fine using a baremetal install of OMV or unRAID but when I try to use a VM for OMV it decides to shit itself?

You are using an unsupported operating system on hardware that's not even considered a server.

Not sure I'd use things like that over something like docker or podman, I only have 1 host. I think I will definitely use some containerization method if I don't use a VM. I've successfully been convinced against going bare metal.

>Enterprise schizo says we can't use it
I have admin'd them long enough to know the platform hasn't been the same since year 2020. There are still environments running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for Redis, and it's still in my memory how many times Ubiquiti has been stuck with EOL, insecure Java versions to support their controllers (now it's been fixed but anyway). Not to mention the telemetry features; at least UniFi UAP-AC-PRO access points ignore the command-line only opt-out setting, while UniFi switches and dumb routers respect the setting.
This environment got replaced with Cisco switching and Aruba APs at $work.
Aruba and TP-Link Omada (though I personally don't like TP-Link that much with prejudice) are in the Magic Quadrants, and much better options for enterprises (and thus also you at home). Those Aruba enterprise APs can also be flashed to IAP mode individually without Aruba Central management and licensing, if you don't like the cloud management thing.
I don't really understand TP-Link Omada by itself. I view it as an UniFi clone.

EdgeRouter actually had advanced features such as dynamic routing protocols available to run an ISP on them, but the devs got fired or quit so the platform's unofficially unmaintained and there's that. UniFi isn't comparable in features.

Aside from technical reasons, have a look at Ubiquiti's Glassdoor reviews if you have not already. Temperament CEO and company mismanagement.

I have +/- 40 devices on my network. My home's ethernet has some bad runs which drops my networking and internet speeds from 300mbs+ to just 80.
I was going to use a RasPi and physically check each run of ethernet to each device with something like a website speed tester as you describe, but hauling a monitor and power source sounds miserable.
My router shows a 100mbs speed connection which I was hopeful could be used, but it doesn't identify the connections that exceed 100.

Continuing what I said: UniFi AP hardware is technically fine, but I find the switches and routers to be really lacking and the software issues plus access to support (or lack of thereof) are major turn-offs.
If I was putting up an outdoor festival, yeah I'd probably put some cheap UniFi APs outdoors in case they get stolen instead of Aruba or Juniper Mist APs. In an office environment, I don't even consider it except for the SOHO and SMB.

You may have Cat5 cables in walls or in jacks, most likely. Particularly if this is an old house.
If you know you have some newer cabling and it's not working as intended, get a contractor to test the permanent links with a cable certifier ($13,000+ USD; or rent one, if you happen to find a place willing to rent you one) to measure your links and give you the reports.
Assuming this is not a software problem.

I'm comfortable with the /diy/ component. I've found it to be CAT5 with bad crimps/connections. The new guy only cared about getting 4/8 of the wires correct. I've fixed a few but fixing all that I am using is where I want a software solution to find what's left.
I'd just like a software solution to identify the devices on the network that aren't getting a 1000mb network connection, then I can use my cable tester on that run to see if the goof mixed his wires once again.

Are there any home server workloads that benefit from Intel Optane?

What can cause this type of behavior when transferring files from my main rig to my NAS? It starts off really slow, 500KB/s - 3MB/s but after a certain point it shoots up to my average write speed, ~15MB/s? It only happens transferring multiple files at once (~250MB per file and totals to ~5GB), and when I transfer one big file, ~5GB, it doesn't do this.

>>102370102
A cable certifier is different from a cable analyzer or link tester. A certifier gives you the full measurements and test results, requires training to use. A dumb cable analyzer will tell you at best when wires are mismatched or broken, if it's a bit more advanced then also with an estimation at which length.

>>102370102
>>102370205 (Me)
I didn't say this clearly enough. A cable certifier (those expensive Fluke Networks DSX2-5000 kits) will validate your runs and patch cords according to specifications like Cat6 or Cat6e. It'll give a result like pass, a marginal pass, or a failure. Without proper training you could fuck up and test a patch cord with channel test adapters instead of patch cord adapters, which skews the results and may make a certification failing patch cord appear to pass in a channel test.
These $5 things >>102370169 don't require any real training to use, and they are much more limited in usefulness and can't tell you exactly what's wrong, just that something may be wrong.

The only issue I have with it is the """"smart""" power save feature which spins down the drive whithin 3 minutes of being idle. I only managed to solve it by setting up smartd to ping the drive every 2 minutes.

But official wd enclosures that come external wd drives use the same chip, and they're perfectly fine.

Not the OP, but I tried to use TP-Link's latest access points at home (tried a bunch, wifi 6e, wifi 7). I was VERY biased towards TP-Link to begin with and I wanted to hate Unifi.

The Unifi u6 Enterprise was EASILY better for the following reasons:
>much better range; one AP mounted on second floor serves all the house perfectly and all the surrounding property (treehouse, pool, driveway, patio). The TP-links did not even on max power
>The UI (unifi controller on my home server) was night and day better to use and understand. The Omada is rough, and seems like some rich chinks nephews hobby project made real.
>TP-Link dropped packets. +300k per hour per band. That is with a SINGLE AP regardless of power level, channel optimization, etc. Maybe the reporting is fucked and the AP is fine, but its not reassuring to deploy a state of the art AP with this kind of results.
>Aesthetics: U6 Enterprise looks good and hides the cord. I know half of you here don't care, but if I am ceiling mounting an AP in a nice office environment or my house, it better not look like some hacked in failed-nigger smoke detector.
>The topography map of the Unifi controller is next level. Actually tells you what each client is without looking (i.e., iphone 15 pro, galaxy s23, dell laptop, etc.) The tp-link just posts mac addressses and good luck to fucking you if you want to find out what that is by cross referencing ip addresses on your router or using manufacturing MAC address range finders online. In this day and age, this is criminal. Unifi seems like they understood the PURPOSE of a fucking topography map when they designed it; QUICKLY identifying troublemaking clients or high bandwidth users.

I could go on. Maybe Cisco and Aruba do all this and then some, I'm just gunshy about buying hardware from companies who regularly rugpull on required software and conscript you into SAAS bullshit.

I'm not saying you SHOULD run k8s, but having looked at Quadlet it seems like it's just a half measure and you might as well go all the way. If your "single compose file" is your entire environment and something over 10 containers, it would probably behoove you to enter orchestration territory since that's arguably where you are. k8s excels at working with multiple hosts, but it needn't be that way. That said, there's nothing objectively wrong with continuing to do things in a single monster compose if it works.

>>102358561
Having and offsite mirror at your friends house sounds like a solid option; he gets better service and you get a backup. Only thing to note that there'll be some amount of latency that's dependent on how you back it up (ex: a day's delay to get new movies if it's a nightly cronjob)

>>102366900
>kubernetes with docker?
Kubernetes abstracts away the underlying container infrastructure so you're not "using Docker" at that point. You could have a sort of split infrastructure where part of the workload is in k8s and part running with standalone Docker, but you wouldn't particularly want to do that without an incredibly good reason.

Absolutely do not do this. I thought "surely it couldn't be that big of a deal" and that my "shielded" cable was good enough until I finally put two and two together and figured out how I managed to brick $1000+ in networking gear. If it really has to be a run along mains, use fiber and use a media converter at the endpoints if you really need copper. If you're not willing to do that, then at minimum run the copper in a full metal conduit and that's probably okay.

fiber might make the most sense
do you know if something like
https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/accessory/mc200cm/
despite only giving 1gigabit out of the ethernet port would pass on the full fiber speed down the next cable? (2.5 gigabit out of my router in this case) I apologize if the question is stupid, never worked with fiber. No idea how it works.

Speaking of NIC are there any 10GbE NICs but x4 physically? I don't have any more slots for x8s.

I have a drive that keeps failing in my zfs pool. It's a 20tb drive in a mirror.
The first time it failed I ran a smart scan and it said the drive was ok. I tried removing and readding it to the pool but it failed at 80% resilver due to write errors.
Ran a 24 hour scan and it passed that too. I rebooted the server and added the drive again but it, again failed during the resilver and automatically goes in "removed" status. Now it's running another resilver while it's removed, idk why.
This isn't the first time this happened either, I have had two other drives fail in this exact slot. It's getting power from a 4 sata slot cable direct from my power supply, the data cable is one of those thin sata cables you get bundled in sets of 4 or 6 plugged into a mobo sata port. None of the other drives ever have issues.
Is there a way to tell if it's a power, data transfer, or physical port issue? It's getting real fuckin expensive replacing these, this is the third in a little over a year.

>>102373719
Are you actually looking at the SMART values or just looking at when it says OK or not?
Because just because it says OK doesn't mean it is if certain values keeps changing.

>>102373207
It takes a 1000BASE-SX fiber to 1000Base-T copper media or vice versa. 1 Gbps to 1 Gbps.
Your 2.5 GbE is irrelevant, that speed is never negotiated.

I have cat6 in my walls. I want to upgrade my lan to 10GbE but I am scared because I read that 10GBase-T NICs get extremely hot. Is it true? Do some get less hot? Any fire hazard with cable in walls or if I have put a switch on the carpet?

>>102374283
>10GBase-T NICs get extremely hot. Is it true?
Yes, they got toasty, especially when placed next to each other. Mine would thermal throttle, and the transfer rates would plummet. However, they were TP-Link ones.

>>102373792
The values show high raw_read_error_rate and seek_error_rate. Most of the values show pre-fail or old_age.
I didn't save the old values so I'm not sure if it's getting worse, at a cursory glance the numbers look bigger but I can't prove it.

>>102374545
See, you're just looking at the most basic shit for SMART. There's also other values you look for, like CRC errors which SMART doesn't flag as a failing drive.
Best general advise I can give you is do a badblocks test.

Okay, unRAID sucks. It still corrupts my data when sending large files. The community said that tso off fixes it, same with the Proxmox solution. If it's the same then I'm going back to Proxmox and OMV VM. Guess I'll take the hit in my read and write speed by disabling offloading.

>>102374423

>>102374731
The UDMA_CRC_Error_Count is at 200 but I could've sworn the raw value was much higher yesterday, like over 1000.
I'll look into running a badblocks test thanks anon.

>>102373719
>>102374545
If you have had other drives fail on that port, it's probably best to quit using that port
All drives are also going to show changing values for read and seek errors because every single modern HDD relies on ECC to function.
Really need to full format or badblocks the drives in another machine.

>>102374731
>like CRC errors which SMART doesn't flag as a failing drive
Because CRC errors can be caused by a bad data connection.
a dead sata card is what gave one of my drives 188 CRC errors

>>102375555
>defective
Nope. It just doesn't play well with the kernel.
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/e1000e-reset-adapter-unexpectedly.87769/#post-384609
Works fine when using Windows 10/11. Or OpenMediaVault. Not Proxmox or unRAID.
I could try others but I'm too lazy. Someone says it works on ESXI and they had to switch back to it because Proxmox keeps breaking. I don't feel like learning how to use ESXI.

>>102375670
>Because CRC errors can be caused by a bad data connection.

Yes, that's the whole point. CRC errors doesn't mea it's a failing drive but it means the cable or port is the problem which is why it's good to look through each value. He mentions that his smart tests always comes out ok which makes me think it's the port itself.

No idea yet. Since my mobo only has x4 lanes and most of the good 10GbE ones are x8. I have two x16 but one is for my GPU (for Jellyfin) and one would be for a SAS HBA.
Any recommendation for a x4 physical NIC?

>>102375881
You're doing it wrong, you can accomodate the GPU in the last x4 slot, the NIC in one x16 and the SAS in the other

All you need to know is that:

There are two types of ends and four types of connections. The main connections used are SC APC and LC UPC.

LC UPC is mainly used for connecting end devices such as routers or switches, while SC APC is primarily used in GPON networks, which is the infrastructure your ISP uses to connect you to the internet.

Green connections have a diagonal cut, and blue connections have a straight cut.

At home, you will be using LC UPC 100 percent of the time unless you're a full-blown network nerd.

The difference between multimode and single mode is how they transfer light. Multimode sends multiple beams of light down a thicker core, while single mode sends one beam down a narrower core.

Multimode fiber, however, cannot travel long distances, while single mode can, which is why you'll see single mode fiber being used in infrastructure and data centers.

At home, though, it doesn't matter since you won't be transmitting data tens of kilometers away.

There are also duplex and simplex connections. Duplex is straightforward: it uses two fiber lines, one for receiving and one for transmitting. Simplex, on the other hand, uses a single fiber line, where the SFP on one end transmits at a different frequency than the SFP on the other end.

>>102375881
This isn't a thing you just solve with a new NIC. You still have a workstation, not a server.
Compatibility is found from the OEM's website, list of compatible parts, or their drivers/firmware download page for a list.

Is Simplex ever preferable at home?

>>102376427
nah, unless you are running 100s of physical machines or you wanna be "that guy"

>>102376427
lack of strands between two areas of the house, or if you want to passively heat your house using bidis.

>>102376441
with simplex, if I could afford a 1 mile long cable I could hook two laptops together, like as a sort of hobonet?

>>102376458
yeah if you want, a lot of UNIs and companies do this, they run their own private WAN between their buildings.

>>102376458
if you mean using simplex as a cost saving measure, yeah. no one runs a single strand 1 mile though because of the work involved and the lack of redundancy.

AMD implemented some dumbass "security feature" that's essentially secure boot for the BIOS.
Once a CPU makes it into an OEM system, the CPU will blow fuses that correspond with the OEMs signing keys and will now only boot with a BIOS that was signed with that key. It's supposed to stop firmware level threats by making sure the CPU only boots a BIOS that has not been modified.

Is cloud backup worth it just for text documents? And not even big ones. Basically everything I want to store is around...50MB?

Never heard of this, will check it out.

>>102377145
there are innumerable providers who bait people in with 5GB free plans in hopes that you use everything up and need to pay for more. if you locally encrypt before giving it to them you don't have to trust them. the key is to store it redundantly (i.e. multiple providers) and verify it regularly in case they shut down. also preferably don't use their custom syncing bloatware. if that's a problem for you and you can't figure out your own automated sync through their apis, then consider a more privacy-focused solution like linked

50MB is such a small amount, you could even get creative and store it places that aren't traditional file servers, but no need to get fancy

>>102377233
I mean, it's still going to grow but not by a lot. At most maybe like, 200MB in a couple of years.
I think I'll just use Google Drive. I forgot they have free 15GB.

Of course. RAID isn't a backup anyway.

If it works for you, it works.
Just make sure you properly document where each file is, or else if one drive dies and you don't know what files were in it you're not going to have a good time finding what files you need to find in your backup.
Or you could go the easier and longer route where you just rebuild everything in your backup to make sure you have everything.

I am hosting a bunch of services for personal use at home and I access them through wireguard exclusively. To make my life easier I added my home server ip to my hosts on my laptop. Can I do the same with a revere proxy configuration? I am using this as reference https://docs.invidious.io/nginx/ and server_name is a requirement it seems. What should I do in this case? Add 127.0.0.1 to the hosts file on my home server?

>>102380234
It's not best practice, but it's theoretically plausible. You can install the Hyper-V role in Windows, or use a third-party hypervisor such as VMware workstation.
Note if you'll enable Hyper-V, your Windows client operating system becomes a guest, which may make that guest unsuitable for gaming due to additional latency and tripping multiplayer game anti-cheat systems.

>>102380380
You should setup an authoritative DNS server instead of editing hosts files. Make that authoritative DNS server available in your network to all devices. That DNS server can be internal only and behind your VPN.

>>102380383
I can just turn off the hypervisor when I'm gaming, that's fine. My PC has good specs so I'm gonna give this a shot, thanks. Gives me working experience with VMware and other shit too.

>>102380380
server_name is required because otherwise nginx wont know where to route your traffic. I'm not sure if nginx uses sni or the host header, but in any case setting it to the name you set in your hosts file on your laptop should work.

>Add 127.0.0.1 to the hosts file on my home server?
No idea where this is coming from, but there should already be an entry for for localhost with that address. It wont change anything for your use case.

This anon >>102380392 is right, you should set up a dns server, it will make your life significantly easier in the long run.
