Is it better to use FreeBSD over linux for ZFS? or it doesn't really matter that much?
The only "linux" stuff i would really need is just jellyfin(since the freebsd version doesnt have proper quicksync working) and containers, but i can just delegate those to a separate pc.

in order to consider all possibilities, after a brief search I can also find a refurbished m920 tiny i5-8500T | 8 GB | 256 GB SSD | 1 x DisplayPort | Win 10 Pro (no wifi) with 1 year warranty for 192 EUR
or
HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Tiny ( Mini PC ) Windows 11 Core i5 8500 16GB RAM 256GB SSD Nvme + 1TB HDD (no wifi) for 149 EUR used

Should I pick any of those over the aforementioned beelink n100 for ~200 EUR? The HP seems like a not bad deal comparing price and specs

rsync is great at what it does, but SyncThing (which can be driven entirely via CLI and config file) just does a whole lot more than rsync was designed for. I get that you weren't able to wrap your head around it and got filtered so you cry 'bloat' without knowing what it means, so I'm not going to spoonfeed you the list of things ST can do that rsync can't as doing some research on your own would probably help your critical thinking skills, champ.

Thanks, I'll still have to look into VRFs.

I know, that wasn't supposed to be the air gap though, that was trying to separate the two networks with just a single internet connection as good as possible.
I'll have a second internet connection by the end of the year which will make it a true airgap.

>For more SATA ports, use PCIe SAS HBAs in IT mode
I'm eyeing an LSI 9500-16i or 9600-24i. Those are Tri-Mode HBA, meaning they can interface SATA, SAS and NVMe storage devices at the same time. Can they run the following setup with ZFS or am I asking too much of the hardware?
12x    18TB Seagate Exos 2x18 (NAS, RAID1,  HBA) // Mirrored VDEVs. Planning to start with 4 or 6 drives, 12 total drives is my upgrade path
2x 375GB Intel Optane P4800X (SLOG, RAID1, HBA) // this reduce the effectiveness of the SLOG? If so, is it considerable?
2x 375GB Intel Optane P4800X (Special Device, RAID1, HBA) // Also thinking about using just two P4800X and partitioning them, would that suck ass?
2x 256GB Intenso Top Performance (System, RAID1, Onboard SATA)
2x 960GB Micron 5400 Max (VMs, RAID1, Onboard SATA)
1x 2TB Samsung 990 Pro (L2ARC, solo, Onboard NVMe)
1x LG WH16NS40 (ODD, solo, Onboard SATA) // For ripping media

I think it's doubtful most home servers actually need ecc anon, the chances of you having a mission critical bit flip are quite low, especially for the amount of ram a typical home server runs. It's mostly just for peace of mind and larping.
That said, looking at your hardware I think ecc fits your class of build. It's not that much more expensive anymore anyway for UDIMMs.
Also I'm not an expert in such high end hardware but just the 4 optane would saturate your hba, depending on how much writing and reading you're doing.
Also for hdds, I typically recommend against buying them in bulk from 1 manufacturer because there is a chance they could fail at similar times if they're the same manufacturing batch. If you're buying 4 or 6 at a time, I would make sure you can handle them failing at similar times or spread out your purchases over time and/or manufacturer/retail outlet.
Also what is your use case for this hardware? Have you considered going enterprise for your mobo and cpu?

I guess, but I want to run 128GB and I don't want Data corrupting over time. Yeah it's overkill but OpenZFS recommends ECC RAM
>It's mostly just for peace of mind and larping.
Exactly
>That said, looking at your hardware I think ecc fits your class of build. It's not that much more expensive anymore anyway for UDIMMs.
About 40 bux per stick, I'm willing to pay that.
>Also I'm not an expert in such high end hardware but just the 4 optane would saturate your hba, depending on how much writing and reading you're doing.
I'm planning to deploy just two to be honest, but I was frustrated with the "what if" in my mind (I'm unironically autistic and have severe OCD, I'm not joking, I'm dead serious).
I don't really care if the bandwidth of the Optanes is crippled, I'm more interested in the latency and MORE importantly the reliability and TBW.
>Also for hdds, I typically recommend against buying them in bulk from 1 manufacturer because there is a chance they could fail at similar times if they're the same manufacturing batch.
Manufacturers or Retailers? That's a really great hint nonetheless Anon, thank you!
>If you're buying 4 or 6 at a time, I would make sure you can handle them failing at similar times or spread out your purchases over time and/or manufacturer/retail outlet.
I plan to buy 6 if I want to actually use 4 and 9 if I want to use 6 just in case.

Oh, that's more than I thought.
Different retailers should also be fine, just return them if they are the same manufacturing batch. You can usually tell from the serial or date code on the drive label.
>refurbished
I would just get drives from serverpartdeals if you're in the US, the prices are usually reasonable and the warranties/returns are better.
>private cloud
This seems pretty overkill just for that. Do you have a suitable internet connection? I know from experience that even if you have fiber, if a family member has a different isp and you have poor peering with them it can still lead to issues.

Looking to get a new ethernet router. 2.5 gb due to current switch; don't need 10gbe. Last thread people were shitting on unifi and preferring cisco, but cisco choices on ebay is a lot of r&d.

I have some Seagate HDDs I shucked years ago that are SMR.
ST5000DM000
For what its worth these are earlier model SMRs not newer ones.

Anyone have any experience slotting these into something like a Synology NAS or running them in TrueNAS as single-disk pools?
I'd like to put these to use as backups where I don't care about performance but not sure what to expect. Lots of people say SMR is unusable in a NAS and I've experienced them being slow as shit in a desktop or a USB dock but I feel if they'll "just work" in a NAS regardless of being slow they'd be worth putting back in service.

From my extremely limited understanding, the CLI for cisco routers is all proprietary right? Like you can use standard shell commands.

i believe so, same as on FortiGate and Mikrotik i assume, they all have their own shells and userspace programs.

I need wireless on one or two devices because they're too old for the security on the new household modem. I don't want them on that anyway. I am out of internal connections on the server so my options are
>Pass a wireless usb stick to opnsense VM
>Get an old AP and connect it to the physical lan side of said VM
Wait
>USB-C to ethernet
Maybe I'll get that for one device and have less cancer in the air?

I'm new to this so bear with me. I've got a server running at a remote location that I'm trying to set stuff up on. I've got a port forwarded for ssh purposes, but that's it. I need to forward some other ports, to get a few other services running. I've got a plan on how to do that without actually going to the location where the server is. I tried setting up a vnc server, but I can't seem to connect to it. Tell me if I'm retarded:
>configure wireguard vpn to run on the port I opened for ssh
>get a vnc server running
>connect to said vnc server through the vpn to be able to change the router settings
The server is running Debian and it does have a desktop environment installed, so I should be able to access the router through the web interface. Is there an easier way to do what I'm trying to achieve?

Where 'router-ip' is the local ip of my router. I set up that file and put it where the tutorials online told me to, /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. Is there something here I'm missing or am I just retarded?

Well they're like obsessed with security which is great and all but it is getting to the point where it's getting hard to actually do my job as shit is so segmented and firewalled everything takes 2-3x as long because you're waiting on latency or file transfers from jump boxes or some shit.

They'll spend money at the drop of a hat just not on the absolute baseline shit.

The Fortinet switches are not terrible I just am relatively unfamiliar with their commands. I think if I had to pick it would be:

Actual IOS or NXOS > Fortinet > Cisco Small Business/Business switches > managed consumer shit > straight up unmanaged switches > Cisco Meraki

I have Ubiquiti Unifi at home and I would put them somewhere roughly equal to Fortinet when looked at holistically as far as reliability, ease of use and breadth of features, but I am also not using them in anywhere near the same environment.

See I might be spoiled because the CLI on them feels so bad and the GUI is...Well I mean it's fine but I prefer the CLI and that's just not where I like to be. The GUI is slow especially on those older ones because they just didn't give them a lot of resources dedicated to it.

Back in the day we used 3560 and 3560 compacts at plants 3750 for offices. Those were glorious, fast, smooth, reliable switches but they got discontinued.

We used a bunch of SF300-24P and SG300/SG350 10 ports from there in the shit conditions as IOS was "too expensive"

Then moved to CBS250s for those roles

Then fortinet switches and fortigate firewalls.

Fortinets GUI is way better than small business Cisco imo but the CLI feels bad compared to IOS.

Idk if youve used the small business ones before but here's a couple pro tips to save you headaches:
>If you're actually consoling in, Ctrl+H is backspace. Set this in putty and save it. fucking obnoxious
>If you're rebooting while in console, completely close your terminal session and unplug your console cable from the switch after it reboots then reconnect like it was your first time. Auto baud is dogshit on these and you'll think you fucked it up because it'll default to like 11520 and spit out garbage.
>If it's on an ancient firmware you need to do incremental upgrades to get to latest it's a dick pain. If it's below 1.4.13 you need that first. Might also need bootloader.
>if it doesn't like a command it will just fucking ignore it sometimes. No error. You'll think you're crazy or retarded but then double check the command structure and do it a different way and it'll just work.
I haven't had to set up a new one of these in a while so I forget exactly but we have still some of those 3560 compacts in the field all the way up to fortigate. I could list probably...15-20 different switch models we have in production outside of the main datacenter.

Planning on building my own media server, which will also function as a place to run small applications and containers.
I like the small form factor of the Node 304 case, and have decided to build off of that.

I want the system to be focused around data-storage, but also powerful enough for anything a regular user might throw at it. My needs for applications are very small at the moment, but I feel like getting a proper setup from the get-go, is the best cause of action.

I've been suggested to go for an AMD build, with an ASRock B550M motherboard and a Ryzen 5 5600X.

Below are some of my questions, I'd appreciate any help I can get.

>SATA expansion
The board only comes with 4 SATA ports, and I plan to utilize all 6 disk slots in the future. I also need somewhere to install the OS.
Would it be better to get an M.2 raid-controller, and have the OS be installed on a flashdrive/SSD taped to the inside, or should I get a PCIe controller, and keep the M.2 port for an SSD for the OS (or potentially for cache?)

>B550M vs A520M
From what I can tell, the only difference between these boards, is that one has PCIe 4.0, while the other only has 3.0. I don't plan on adding any graphics cards, will the 4.0 upgrade be worth it for the extra $30?

>Power supply
How can I calculate the needed wattage for the build? I would like for the system to be as power-efficient as possible, and if I could save a couple of bucks on a smaller PSU, it would be great too.


https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DrkYcx


Feel free to critique/send me off in a completely different direction, or help me find places where I can cut cost.
I literally just took this build from another anon, who was doing something similar, so nothing is set in stone for me.
The only absolute must is a min. 4-bay server, with possibility for expansion in the future, that doesn't break the bank.

Thank you in advance.

yeah, at least the GUI is serviceable and laid out somewhat competently compared to absolute messes like picrel.
And thanks for the tips, it's my first time with Cisco small business (or Cisco period). I'll try the CLI later. I've updated the firmware to latest, but it's still pretty old and out of support (1.4.11). It believe it even has an unauthenticated RCE vulnerability in webui (not that i would allow untrusted devices to connect to management GUI anyway, but i guess you could disable it and use the CLI just to be safe).
>Fortinets GUI is way better than small business Cisco imo but the CLI feels bad compared to IOS.
Coming from Mikrotiks i really like it, especially stuff like looking up references for objects. CLI i've used only when necessary (some config options, "diagnose" commands are a big one)
>I could list probably...15-20 different switch models we have in production outside of the main datacenter.

>>
>>103122599
I'd just go straigh for a 6 SATA port board, you will regret later if you are forced to sacrifice PCIe slot for SATA expansion card and thus unable to use it for a faster NIC or M.2 expansion card.
>>
>>103122599
You can boot your hypervisor off a USB drive, but you'd still need a drive for your VM store. PCIe HBAs are good; they'll enable you to use SAS drives (you can get some real good deals on refurbished enterprise drives) and are generally more reliable than consumer motherboard SATA controllers; you can let the hypervisor manage it, but I like to just pass it through straight to my NAS VM (the VM store drive still remains connected to the motherboard controller in this case).

Yeah I definitely prefer working on Fortinet stuff through the GUI. Which...fine. It's pretty smooth. Better than any of the comparable Cisco UIs I have used. But I'd still take IOS CLI over all 9/10 times.

Are you sure it's on the latest? 1.4.11 sounds old to me but maybe it is the latest. Also I think I'm mistaken when I said 1.4.13 I think it is 1.4.1.3. Whatever yeah the SX300 are pretty old now. 1.4.1.3 came out in 2015 lol.

Fortiswitch 24 gig non poe
Fortiswitch 8 gig poe
SF100D-08P

Oh yeah that's another retarded thing we did. Fortiswitch 24 port poe were out of stock so the standard is 24 port non PoE then an 8 port PoE daisy chained off of that instead of just buying a fucking 2960 or whatever. They got bad taste in their mouth from all those SB/CBS models. They would discontinue then bring out a new model every 3 years so it was like impossible to standardize. Would have been fine if we just bought some IOS ones.

Rant over. Sorry but this shit pisses me off I get heated every time I have to deal with someone else's decision to cut corners on basic infrastructure.

To circle back, that switch you got will end up being amazing for hsg uses. I just saw a familiar model being mentioned and I couldn't help but autism vomit.

>>103122709
Do you have any recommendations for a Mini-ITX board, with 6 native SATA ports, for an AM4 CPU I could look at?

Since you brought up an M.2 expansion cards for PCIe, would it make sense to have the boot drive, and potentially a cache drive on one of these, and then use the native M.2 slot for a SATA expansion?
This would actually be really ideal for my current situation, as I only need 4 HDDs atm, which I could run off of the board natively, and then a boot-drive in the M.2 slot for now. Then I could just buy the PCIe expansion, and M.2 expansion, later on when I needed it.

Do not go AMD for a media server. The transcoder/hardware support is not as good as Intel, and I say this as someone who uses both AMD and Intel in personal server and gaming projects.

Cheap it is not (I assume you *have* a limited budget* but it does come with true server features like IPMI (remote management), ECC (nice to have) and 10G onboard NIC (might also support 2.5/5G).

How to use I/O is up to you. However if I had to choose I'd rather get an quality HBA for PCIe and use M.2 just for boot drive as I'm a bit vary about those M.2-6xSATA -cards.

Transcoding is not one of my main concerns for this. I very rarely use transcoding when streaming.
When I say "media server" I probably mean more a storage server to be honest.
The thing the server will be used for the most, is basic storage of all my data. With complimentary scripts and docker containers.

The reason why I liked the suggestion of AMD, is that it seems you get a lot of bang for your buck.
It seems I can get a lot more cores, which would be nice for some of the scripts I plan to use.
Feel free to redpill me on Intel though. As you can probably tell I'm very much a noob, and I'm still open to going the Intel route.

>>103123423
The main point is to have a small case, where you can cram in a bunch of HDDs, and run it all on (cheap) hardware, that can also function as a very decent homeserver.

Is my philosophy completely flawed?
I assume you're talking about actual server racks, when you mention SuperMicro. I don't have a rack closet, and while I'm sure I'll eventually have to go this route, it seems quite overkill for my needs of just 4-6 bays.

This will basically function as an alternative to a Synology or QNAP NAS. With a lot better hardware for the various scripts and containers.

I use the same case, 5900x, and b550 asrock phantom itx. I have a gpu in the pcie slot and a m.2 to pcie riser in the bottom m.2 slot. In the top m.2 is my boot drive. In the pcie riser I have a lsi hba card. This has worked essentially 24/7 for me for 3 years. I had a lot of the parts already and was able to get the rest secondhand, but I have a lot more money and some more knowledge now so I don't think I would go this route again. But I do think it can work if you already have some of the parts.

>I assume you're talking about actual server racks, when you mention SuperMicro.
I guess I should have been more clear. Supermicro do small (ITX and similar) server nodes. If you're hell-bent on that particular case, you can try and source a Supermicro or AsrockRack ITX board, one that would typically have 8 or more SATA ports, at least 2 NICs and remote management, none of which you're ever gonna get in a consumer ITX chipset (and you'll have practically no room for expansion either).

>Is my philosophy completely flawed?
I'd say it's extremely short sighted. There's nothing wrong with a small form factor, or reusing consumer hardware that you already own, but going out of the way to buy and custom build a consumer PC for a purpose it wasn't designed for, is silly.

>Supermicro do small (ITX and similar) server nodes.
Could you perhaps send me the name or image of one of these? I'm having trouble finding anything related to these on the webshops here in Europe.

I'm not hell-bent on the case in any way, but I really like the form factor, and how it would allow me up to 6 drives (which is the sweet spot for future proofing), and still have room for a couple of SSDs, should they be needed.
It's also cheap enough to fit in my limited budget, and easily available to me. I guess that's the main reason why I stumbled on it to begin with.

>Supermicro or AsrockRack ITX board, one that would typically have 8 or more SATA ports, at least 2 NICs and remote management
I'm having trouble finding boards like these, in the usual places I look. Do you have any specific recommendations?

>There's nothing wrong with a small form factor, or reusing consumer hardware that you already own, but going out of the way to buy and custom build a consumer PC for a purpose it wasn't designed for, is silly.
You're probably right with this statement.
I still have a lot to learn, and maybe I've just been blinded with how much you can actually get for your money, when you build a consumer PC to be used as a server, compared to something like buying a Synology NAS (which will cost more than double, for half the specs).
But I also want to get it right from the get-go, and not be stuck with hardware that's unusable in the future, when I'll inevitably have to upgrade.

Basically what >>103124181 said, I would have gone for an enterprise first setup. I've slowly modified my original build with "upgrades" in order to avoid fully redoing it, but it's still not as integrated as a server platform would be, and I can afford one now. I have a pikvm which I do believe is better than most manufacturer's IPMI, and my motherboard does support ecc mostly completely, but it's still not as perfectly integrated as an enterprise platform would be.
I think it's fine to do a consumer build to an extent, I just don't know whether I'd use AM4 for it. On your 5600x, the io die can't be turned off so it will use about 15-20w higher than the APU line.

Question:
What does /hsg/ do for DNS?

Do you guys run standalone script on your router to use a DNS provider? Are you using your server to host the DNS resolver?

I was recommended to use nextdns.io (pay $20/year) because I can use it on all my devices for a seamless ad free experience. Also told to use firewall rules with DoH blocklists, etc. HAven't done any of that myself.

Adguard seems solid on my server (current setup), but I guess it makes sense to have the router do this directly? Of let the firewall block shit via Doh-blacklist files...

Any good practices or links I can read to follow what you network chads are doing to keep your shit ad-free and secure?
>>
>>103126020
AdGuard (VM in a hypervisor) for internal DNS going to Digitale Gesellschaft using DNS over TLS, with tons of custom blocklists. Then, block all udp/53 outbound. Only allow tcp/853 to DG servers from the Adguard server itself. Then, also allow udp/53 from AdGuard to 9.9.9.9 to resolve the DNS over TLS server. This way no one on my network can attempt to use DNS outbound except through AdGuard.
>>
>>103126626
>This way no one on my network can attempt to use DNS outbound except through AdGuard.
Does that mean all queries get redirected, or do they just fail if you try to use anything other than AdGuard? I'm guessing the latter, especially if it's over TLS.

No redirection. Any DNS queries attempting to leave the local network for the internet (north/south) will hit the outbound firewall and get dropped. This way, everyone is forced to use AdGuard as the intermediary DNS. So, everyone has their DNS traffic encrypted as it leaves my network. East/west (locally) the DNS queries between AdGuard and network devices are unencrypted.
>>
>>103126626
Thanks fren. Didn't know about Digitale Gesellschaft as a secure DNS provider.

This part seems odd but clearly you know a lot more about this then me. This is from your NAT settings on your router / firewall correct?

>>103126959
No NAT. You can set the upstream for resolving the DNS over TLS server itself within AdGuard. So, unencrypted DNS queries only get sent to that one specific server to resolve your DNS over TLS server/DoH server. It's granular like that. It smokes other DNS blackhole solutions.
>>
>>103126927
So any devices with custom DNS settings won't be able to resolve anything... But hang on - since east/west queries are unencrypted, would it not be possible to get the gateway to redirect them all to a particular DoT provider?

>>103127001
Sure, but then there's no blocklist to blackhole unwanted traffic. When you use AdGuard as the intermediary you have a blocklist enforced against
DNS queries.

>>103126984
You don't need to do NAT for the redirection. You just change your DHCP scopes to use AdGuard as the DNS server. Then, all your internal servers which get an IP from the DHCP scope will use AdGuard as their DNS server, which then filters and passes to the upstream. For anyone who tries to manually override their learned DNS you would use outbound firewalling to block any requests from leaving the network.

>>
>>103127655
I'll be honest. I'm really new and underqualified for this.

I have a Truenas server with Adguard installed as a k3s app. For reasons I cannot explain, it has to be listening on port 30004 (Adguard).

In my router, I have the DNS lookup as 192.168.1.48. To specify that all DNS inquiries go to port 30004, I have to use the NAT I shared to make it work. It does work for any traffic that isn't hardcoded for its own DNS lookup (i.e., devices going to the router 192.168.1.1)

I tried this guide, but it doesn't seem to like Adguard as I lose all DNS functionality.

https://myhelpfulguides.com/redirect-hard-coded-dns-to-pi-hole-using-edgerouter-x/

Hope this makes sense. I'm not trying to do anything super complicated; just maintain a DNS for my family that doesn't have my kids accidentally find porn online and block most ads. I'm really happy with Adguard, but I think I need to study up on my router and NAT rules....

I'm a network engineer by profession so I have some particular feelings about using NAT for redirecting traffic internally. For instance, there are potential issues with looping traffic, or blackholing traffic unintentionally. There's a lot of hierarchical configuration required to create exemptions to the NAT redirection to not affect traffic which shouldn't be redirected.

The point of that guide you linked seems to be to basically intercept outbound DNS queries (going to any:udp/53 on the general internet) and redirect them to your internal AdGuard server for pre-processing. No port address translation is required on your AdGuard server to do this. This NATing is supposed to be at the network level, as your traffic passes through the network device (router/firewall). Because your AdGuard server isn't directly in the data path, doing NAT on it isn't relevant because it wont catch errant DNS traffic.

Your AdGuard should just simply listen on udp/53 as it normally would. You don't need to do any tricks with PAT on the device. So, toss the NAT rule on the AdGuard server. All you have to do is assign the AdGuard DNS server to everyone from your DHCP server which hands out your local IP leases.

What I'm doing on my network is blocking DNS queries outbound instead of redirecting it to AdGuard. Both of these methods gets the job done. My method would be simpler and less dangerous for a non-network engineer to configure.

In regards to blocking your kids from seeing bad shit online, you should consider an MDM solution for their phones for when they're off your home network. Also, you'll want to look into implementing some kind of layer 7 firewall inspection to stop them from using a VPN to get around any of your DNS filtration at home. Why layer 7 inspection? Because layer 4 firewalling isn't smart enough to catch tunnels built on tcp/443 as an example.

Ok. So how do I block the DNS queries outbound with the exception of the adguard server of course? Firewall rule like below (i.e., block all outgoing requests on port 53 except the adguard server on 192.168.1.48?)

Ok, I understand now that you said k3s. What you're trying to set is your nodeport, not your DNS internal listener server port. Leave your node port as 30004. Make sure nothing else on your TrueNAS box is using udp/53 for listening (like dnsmasq). On TrueNAS do something like: "sudo lsof -i UDP:53". If you're clean there, you'll set up port forwarding on your TrueNAS for all traffic inbound to udp/53 (source) and redirect it to udp/30004 (destination, your k3s AdGuard instance nodeport).

That's not proper routing, so it's not really fair to say. Doing 10g from a desktop with a default gateway is trivial nowadays (as long as you know what you're doing) and you get line rate easily. But, doing 10g of actual routing requires purpose built route processors. Additionally, IDS/IPS (layer 7 inspection) requires WAY more than just 4 cores for even 1gb of traffic, let alone 10gb. Caveat is that it depends on the rulesets that are loaded. Layer 4 firewalling (not IDS/IPS) can easily be performed by a Pi5, and simple forwarding (not actual "routing") can be handled by a Pi5 as well.

Some guy was on here was showing how his 2700x could just comfortably handle 1g symmetric with 50k L7 IPS rules in layer 2 bridging mode. The Pi5 has 50% less physical cores, each with 50% less performance core-for-core. You do the math.
