Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.>What software should I run?Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.>Why should I have a home server?De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.>Links & resourcesCool stuff to host: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhostedhttps://reddit.com/r/datahoarderhttps://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/wiki/indexhttps://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/FeaturesARM-based SBCs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PGaVu0sPBEy5GgLM8N-CvHB2FESdlfBOdQKqLziJLhQLow-power x86 systems: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LHvT2fRp7I6Hf18LcSzsNnjp10VI-odvwZpQZKv_NCISFF cases https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AddRvGWJ_f4B6UC7_IftDiVudVc8CJ8sxLUqlxVsCz4/Cheap disks: https://shucks.top/ https://diskprices.com/PCIE info: https://files.catbox.moe/id6o0n.pdf>i226-V NICs are bad for servers>For more SATA ports, use PCIe SAS HBAs in IT modeWiFi fixing: pastebin.com/raw/vXJ2PZxn (embed) (embed)Cockpit is nice for remote administrationRemember:RAID protects you from DOWNTIMEBACKUPS protect you from DATA LOSS
>>106465571Sweet setup OP, made me want to doxx myself as well
>>106459789>>TIL they removed the crab.The RTL8125B (no G) still has it. Suspiciously cheap 2.5G cards on AliExpress and such are usually this chip. The original, large RTL8125 should be hard to find, which is good because it performs like ass and has compatibility issues (not as bad as early i-225V's, but still).RTL8125 (large package, crab) >>106458690RTL8125B (small package, low power, crab) pic relatedRTL8125BG (also small, low power, no crab) >>106458677
>>106465853It's really not mine. My entire setup consists of a Orange Pi 5 sitting in a drawer.
Amuse me for a second /hsg/Is the Intel X520 and it's chip just going to live forever? It's been 16 years now.I bought a Sonnet thunderbolt 3 10G NIC and it's an Intel 82599 NIC inside, they still sell this with the same NIC.The seemingly legit looking X520 I got from ebay was made in 2019Are these ever going to be dropped from the Linux/BSD kernel? Or are they so well understood and bug free you can still use them decades from now?
This is pure sexWhy dont they make this as a NAS? Only the 6 bay
>>106466565Nevermind they do, but without the sexy handles, SAD!
Is there a way to automate the distribution of local SSL certificates among all devices and browsers on a local network? I already took care of HTTPS setup for my public xxx.com domain using letsencrypt and certbot, but how about a local xxx.lan domain? I know how to create local certs, but I don't want to have to import them manually on every device and browser I have, it's too much of a pain in the ass. Is there a way to automate this? Or am I overthinking it and should stick to HTTP instead? I'm running Debian 13 with pihole as default DNS for the whole network, and my machines include Linux, Windows and Android phones.
>>106465853I wish I had a full server cabinet, but I'm pretty fine with my little 10" rack so far.
Disk shelves are fucking expensive. Over $300 for a 20 year old backplane inside a metal box with just 15 slots.You can get an entire supermicro server, 2U, complete with mobo/cpu/ram for around the same price. It's just 12 slot instead of 15. What the fuck.
>>106466105Got a bunch of those cards, small package, surprisingly reliable.
>>106466647This is what a certificate authority is for. Sign all your https certs with a CA and import it manually on each device once.
>>106465571just upgraded to proxmox 9 and PBS 4.other than the installer grenading grub and me having to mount the EFI partition and reinstall, it's gone fine.don't really get what happened but whatever. I caught it before rebooting so didn't have to crawl under the desk and plug in the IPMI port so how mad can I be really?
>>106465853damn this and the OP is crazy. I want to be there.
You guys have cool stuff. I need a bigger house.
>>106467616>grubI hate grub so much I learned to use efibootmgr
>>106466494>>106465853I don't really get why people even want to run rack gear in the home.I get enough exposure to noisy rack gear being in comms room or setting up gear before I take it to the customer to install.I have a mikrotik switch inside my TV cabinet and a single ATX Supermicro.
I got my RAM in and the BMC is blinkingTime to touch the power pins...
>>106467695You really should rotate those heatsinks 90º.
>>106467695
>>106467695I might get one of these too. I replaced my i5 3570k rig with AM5 finally and I still have the leftover gfx card..
>>106467679To quote someone, "Nerds don't want all this professional grade stuff to do something with it, we just wanna waste time"It's fun to play around with the stuff that's normally "behind the curtain".
>>106467723That would require redesigning the brackets, I'm probably capable of doing that but I'm also more likely to just to get noctuas if I get a new jobEverything seems to be detected and working.For some reason both the BIOS and IPMI is fucking ancient.
>install new nvme>put zfs on it>already 130GB written after just a few daysbros wtf

How much ram should I allocate to a vm that is used only for a samba server? Is 4gb enough or can I get away with less? The vm is running debian with xfce because I figured why not but I guess I could use something more lightweight instead.
>>106459801>Just hold them or are you CI/CD'ing?Just cloning/diffingBut that's a 2.2GB repo, using sqlite and running off an USB stick so YMMV
>>106468276>How much ram should I allocate to a vm that is used only for a samba server? Is 4gb enough or can I get away with less?i have a bananapi r3 mini that operates as a samba server as well as a fuckton of other things and it only has 2gb of ram
