Help me out /hsg/
So my ISP put me behind a CGNAT and I had a H@H client serving.
I want to be able to get it restarted, I've mostly settled on tunneling to a VPS with wireguard.
I have the tunnel working, but I'm filtered by the iptables rules that are apparently necessary for WG to accept the incoming connections to port 443 and routing it to the OS that hosts the H@H client.

My server config looks like the one in this guide
https://moddedbear.com/using-wireguard-to-self-host-around-a-carrier-grade-nat/
But H@H is still failing the connectivity check, I checked all the IPs and interfaces are correct, Oracle egress rules have port 443 open on the VPS' network.
Sysctl ipv4 forward is enabled.

Anything else I should try?

>>106576721
is your web application actually listening on the wireguard interface on the local machine?

>>106576815
I assume it is.
Windows is the actual host, H@H recognizes the Oracle VPS as the external IP so It's going through the tunnel, it just can't accept incoming 443 connections

>>106576854
some web applications also require you to set the proxy address as an allowed "external ip" in order to accept the connection. I have no idea what h@h is or how that would be configured. You can use netcat to troubleshoot the actual network infrastructure but it's probably ar the application

Outside of running a separate machine as a NAS, is there a decent way to attach drives externally that isn't... External drives?

>>106579376

Look for an external JBOD enclosure that connects to an internal HBA.
eg. QNAP makes a kit with both: TL-D400S (can't argue as to whether it's any good however)

Any idea what the problem could be? This shit is stressing me out. It's not my PC because my server loses access to it too.

>>106579893
did you check the journal of the server? first place to check to see if there is something that comes up when it fails
be sure your journal is not set to volatile so it can be reviewed next reboot

Planning out my requirements for my homeserver/homelab sounds fun, but I'm not too sure if I'll actually be using any of the services I'm setting up since I'm a hermit that spends all my time infront of my pc already...I'm running out of storage on my HDDs so I've been debating if I should get a JBOD/DAS or look into a NAS. But if I do get a NAS, I'll obviously need to have good design principles and link that to other components like a home server which is another can of worms. How do you anons get over this decision paralysis?

>>106576963
it looks fine to me. cable management is largely a meme. even the fancy photogenic racks have all the shit hidden back behind where it isn't visible. And it's a real pain in the ass to swap or troubleshoot something when all of the cables are wrapped tighter than a nun's underwear.

I guess the real takeaway is get a different cabinet with panels so the spaghetti isn't visible.

>>106580408
Get an AMD EPYC 4545P, pair it with a Supermicro H13SAE-MF or ASRock Rack B650D4U / EPYC4000D4U mobo and build a single node capable of everything via virtualisation.
It'll be expensive up front but should cover any evolving need for probably a decade.

>>106579492
>>106580408
IMO a NAS is only really necessary if you have more than like a terabyte of files that you really *can't* lose. The NAS acts as a secure box to keep everything online, backed up, and energized.

I'm going to be replacing drives in my zfs pool with a different model, because if noise. I have no way to just make another box and just copy data over a network or within the same system. All drives have the same nominal capacity, but replacements are of different brand.

Should I make a binary copy of each pooled drive to a new one and then zfs import the pool back with fresh drives, or should I zfs replace it piecemeal and rebuild the array for each drive? Four rebuilds seem pretty excessive.

>>106578092
I have issues with encrypted BTRFS if I allocate too much disk, the IO hangs the fucking system. Probably my fault for using a biz encryption algorithm for it. One of these days I will format it.

>>106578769
why not maybe get some used drives while you are at it? Make a nice raid of them and it will probably be cheaper to replace a cheap drive every now and then and you won't have to worry about not having enterprise drives.

If it weren't for me being naive when i was new and because of space/electricity constrains i would have went that route too.

>>106576153
A bunch of days ago I figured out I was doing reverse proxy wrong. I was generating local self signed certificates with caddy and importing them on each of my devices. I still don't fully understand the logic but eventually I used acme.sh to generate let's encrypt certificates, validated them using my DDNS API and installed them in my caddy container. Now my browsers stopped yapping

Want to get a better router for my home network.
The ASUS has shit the bead and no longer actually forwards ports even when I tell it to.

I use OPNSense on my server and love it.
Is there any good hardware for hosting this on that is small. I like the idea of maybe running OpenBSD on a smaller Arm box, but I like the UI that OPNsense provides.

On a side note, if I can get a smaller box with at least 4x10GBSFP, I can smuggle it into the datacenter colo to designate for server space and use it for my server network to reconfigure my hyprvisor as I please.

Openwrt keeps giving different devices the same IP when I use the same network cable (by manually moving it from one device to the other)
Is there a way to make DHCP on the openwrt router given them a new IP?

You can
>Restart dhcp service, if there is an option for this, maybe will work maybe not
>Restart router

I must have dyslexiad the 1st part. Mapping ip per port is strange behavior, at least as a default. I'm not too familiar with openwrt but you can try those options still, and I would look for a setting or command to possibly change that behavior.

>>106580035
Yeah I checked the journal. Unfortunately I don't see anything that might've caused it.
I actually had the same issue with my previous NAS build and I replaced everything except the PSU and HDDs. It doesn't lose power. I left it on overnight to see if it would fix itself (it didn't) and it was still running. I guess the HBA could also be overheating but the boot drive is an NVMe so I don't think that would cause a crash. I've tested the RAM (plus it's ECC) so that shouldn't be the issue. I don't think it's the router or switch because only the NAS disconnects. I've tried different cables and ports too.

Is there an easy way to automate generating and renewing tailscale certs via nginx proxy manager? Or would I need to do external scripting to avoid manually generating and moving cert files every month and a half?

>>106583650
rather than IP being mapped to a port, it could be a case of DHCP lease or ARP entry being cleared as soon as the device is disconnected. so I want to know what happens when the second device gets connected without the first being disconnected, both when device 1 and device 2 gets connected first.

Anyone here set up Loki + alloy (log monitoring stack)? Is it worth it it kind of looks like a pain in the butt

>>106580511
This. Unless you go with custom length cables you're going to have a visual shitshow and when you do you're going to severely restrict practicality just so it looks a bit better.

>>106583930

making the docker directory a zfs dataset will surely make it behave with the zfs dataset i actually want one of the volumes on right? I mean the docks say that docker being zfs is needed to make the driver behave so it only makes sense that it might help, yes?

>>106586775
parental blocking sometimes is just really lazy and half-assed DNS blocking. It probably just null-routes DNS requests. But some applications like Windows update and yt-dlp probably have their own internal references.

a simple test is just open cmd
>ping 8.8.8.8
>ping google.com

yeah seems that way
>Pinging google.com [***] with 32 bytes of data:
>Reply from *** time=2ms
>Reply from *** time=3ms

>Ping statistics for ***:
>Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
>Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
>Minimum = 2ms, Maximum = 3ms, Average = 2ms

The previous all-in-one box did it properly. I must confess I never tested yt-dlp, but I never had to because all indications were that it blocked everything. Browser traffic didn't work but neither did Windows update. For over a year Defender hadn't been able to connect, Defender constantly showed the notification for how definitions were out of date, the computer never rebooted in all that time as it would have if it actually did any updates. And when I did actually let it update yesterday, it did several big updates in one go, showing it had been backed up for a year.

Anyway, any solution for this, software or hardware? I wanna block the computer from the outside world but I still want internal access. Both for network shares, and remote desktop.

That's a sick case that can basically house anything, not really sacrificing anything to have it contain your main PC.
One issue is that if you're using Windows, you are extremely limited for filesystem and RAID support. If you use Linux as your OS then you got plenty.

You can get around it by using a hypervisor like proxmox and pass-through hardware to each OS as needed. The GPU and most of your hardware can go to Windows while Linux or something like Truenas can have the HBA.
You are trading having an all in one device with some software complexity however.

for now i found a vpn software that cuts all the traffic. it's the official client for a known vpn. i don't even have an vpn account with them, i guess i don't need it, i just need their client. i have that open on windows, and it blocks all internet. now no programs can search for updates, windows update cant connect to windows servers, yt-dlp can't download because it cant connect to youtube. pretty good. annoying that i have to have this extra software on my 'NAS', but all i have to do is leave it open so thats kinda cool.

I got this cheap old sas HGST SSD1600MM. In the manufacturer's brochure it says that all models have a 1600GB "full initial capacity" and then they have have different models with different capacities (200-1600GB). Does this mean that the all drives have 1600gb physically installed and the unaccessible capacity is used for wear leveling?


Also, I got a sun branded model which is a HUSSM1640 but its capacity is actully 200GB on the label while the cheat sheet says it should be a 400GB model. In software it also has a unique model number that's different from the HGST one. Quite a weird drive.

I think this may be related to what you want.
https://blog.dest-unreach.be/2024/01/03/podman-on-zfs/
So you can use overlayFS with ZFS and that would allow it to run rootless if you have ZFS 2.2+.
Check Proxmox Forum's, there are some discussion on how to do that.

>>106593461
Depends on what you want to do with it, but kinda defeats the purpose using 2 cache intensive systems together.

>>106593963
>So you can use overlayFS with ZFS and that would allow it to run rootless
I think that is already what i am doing. I never really configured anything and how i understand it the default driver is overlay2 anyways. To have it run fully with the ZFS driver I'd need the location docker is on to be zfs too but what is the point to be honest? I never noticed any issues with this.

>>106594110
To be specific, i have a bind mount to a dataset and it just works. Needed to set the propagation thing which for some reason is not in the docker doc but in the podman one for my distro but at least im done now.

I set up an sftp site on an old laptop. I have ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) set up so that any screenshot I take gets uploaded to the SFTP site automatically. I'm working on creating a a simple HTTP site which previews those files in thumbnail form, paginated, but I have like 10 trillion other personal projects I'm working on.

I'm looking to "start over" from my old-ass gaming laptop as a server that I've been using for years now. It's a fucking mess of projects that are in various states, so I wanted to see if I could start over on a new one.

I was looking into some miniPCs and I found two that look interesting for their price-point. The Nimo MiniPC DNB1 Intel N100 and the Beelink Mini S12 Pro.

The reason I'm even thinking of changing it up is cause I've been going through hell trying to get the NVidia drivers recognized so I can use the GPU for transcoding in Jellyfin. Can't do that though since the shit won't show up in the firstplace.

>>106596140

Ok I ghetto-rigged a fan to the heatsink. Thankfully I had one fan header left on the MB. Hopefully this helps.

What is the proper way of setting up a dhcp server in a container?
What I can think of is: dnscrypt+pihole(on bridge) and dhcpd/dnsmasq(macvlan). the only downside would be dhcp server not being able to talk with pihole.
And I guess that is only important for local dynamic dns right? I don't give shit whether devices behind dhcp has domain or not.

>Pihole on macvlan
dnscrypt won't be reachable without some obscure dumb macvlan workarounds + breaks dns for the host itself. Besides i don't want to take macvlan'ing everything route.

Also am I overcomplicating things for not putting everything on host mode?

>>106596968
You already have a solid laptop. I do this with 2nd gen intel without dgpu.
If you have space maybe try pre-transcoding or keep multiple resolutions on the disk?

I wouldn't spend money on a minipc and waste that laptop if I were you

>dhcp server in a container?
You don't have to containerize everything, you know. DHCP servers typically only serve local hosts and DHCP is a fairly simple protocol.

>>106591455
a host based firewall will do everything you realistically need and you dont need opnwrt

>>106599279
you need to learn how DHCP works before containerizing it. you wont be able to overcome how it works (broadcast) when you nest it in a containerized network space without relays/helpers.

It could
The finger test is kinda of a bad indicator because you can get burned at 55C when the heatsink is allowed to be 90C+ before the HBA officially overheats.
If you actually have room for a fan there is no harm in using it.

I have a 9300-16I HBA which is a pig for heat and power draw and I was able to get away with case airflow. Made sure I can actually feel air coming out the slot bracket.

>>106598546
Wrap zipties around the two posts holding the heatsink to the card and through 2 of the fans screw holes. It fits much better and won't disrupt airflow, though you may need thinner ties. Also, those specific Noctua fans really don't like obstructions, make sure there's *at least* a thumb's worth of space between it and whatever else, you can check that the rotation speed at 100% matches spec, if it doesn't it's malfunctioning and you need to give it more space.

I've managed to cobble together my old tower to have my own media server, but I'm having trouble figuring out what OS to use. They don't seem to make cheap OEM Windows 10 keys anymore and I don't feel like using Windows 11. What are my options? I could also use an opinion on buying pic related instead of spending $400+ on a 20TB drive

>im a bit dumb and i have no idea
You don't say. Just toss a coin and pick one of those options I mentioned. Read manuals, watch youtube videos, ask chatgpt to walk you through it. Lurk forums of either software for best practices. It's really not that hard, but you're so far detached from how everything works that there's no other solution than to shut up and learn.

>>106601683

>>106601716
so my options are to read this and learn how linux works, buy a synology or buy a new tower that can run Jewcrosoft Windows 11?

>>106601755
no
you have infinite options
including using any of the other things in op to learn

also just install linux on it and start trying shit, its free.
like the other anon said, chatgpt is actually pretty good at being helpful for this shit, especially if you feed it docs.

it's the middle of the night anon, nobody else is posting, and i may be retarded but im trying to figure out a serious issue with what i want to do. everything i've looked into said that starting a server for plex on an old desktop is the fastest and easiest and cheapest way of doing it, so that's what i did, and now im finding out that i either have to cross my fingers and hope i can get windows 11 to work or somehow learn how to make an operating system i've never used work. there maybe a decade or more worth of guides and experts on the subject but that doesn't help me learn how to do explicitly what i need to do, especially if it's all command line interfaces like my previous pic

>now im finding out that i either have to cross my fingers and hope i can get windows 11 to work or somehow learn how to make an operating system i've never used work.
nope. you've specifically and deliberately ignored the truenas and proxmox suggestions and every one of your posts has literally amounted to "look at me, i'm retarded".

It never ends, does it? Half my shit barely runs and is in a perpetual state of "I will make it better eventually", yet there's still always more to host and to fix.
Also am too scared to lose all my shit in a power outage or a fire or some shit that will just fry all my drives.
If I were to start over, is there any solution to keep everything neatly organized?

all these years I've just been plugging in a couple of flimsy USB externals and using Windows "Libraries" to merge the media folders, but I'm sick of them dying or getting corrupted by sneaky Windows fuckery. From what I understand so far, a DAS could do something similar plus have RAID 5 protection, but only for the device it's plugged into, and a NAS would let all my online devices access the files, but R/W would take a hit by having to jump through network hoops for all transfers

is there any non-shit arrangement for a NAS to run a non-ethernet cable, USB or eSATA or some shit, from the PC to whatever box I've got the RAID in and access the files directly like I've already been doing with Windows' libraries, but also still be able to reach them over the network on some portable device through whatever software I've got loaded on the NAS?

>>106605058
network is and has always been faster than disk r/w
there is minimal overhead on the network.

Why do Redditors always recommend an SAS HBA for more SATA ports? Even the sticky has that as a recommendation.
What is the use of them when these PCIe 1x ASMedia cards exist and are just as good, and cheaper?

>>106605155
they're actually not just as good but you do you

>>106603102
Finally managed to do it. Just had to upgrade Ubuntu and disable SecureBoot. I'm getting the following trying to get it to detect in Portainer.

Sorry for not codeblocking it. I don't often use /g/.

>>106579492
This might sound flippant, but a NAS is only a computer that can hold multiple drives.
It comes down to whether you want to build it custom and have it how you like, but have to think more, or pay the premium to have someone else do the thinking about give you what they think is good, though guided by their margins.
Either could be a valid option.

>>106605182
What's wrong with them? I'm interested.

>>106605442
you see how anon complained about bottlenecks here? >>106590413
unlike networking, there's a high likelihood that you will, in fact, be using the entire bandwidth of your disks since you could use them all for the same task if using software raid. the cheapo adapters aren't going to pull their weight under load. they're cheap expansion devices, they let you attach a bunch of drives, you may or may not need to read from them all at the same time, and that's fine.

>>106605155
I'm gonna do a little math for you
PCIe 4.0 (the common ASM1064 runs at 3.0 but let's be a bit more generous) has an effect throughput of almost 2GB/s (big b bytes) on a 1x connection
SATA 3, which is what your hard drives are likely to be, has a link speed of 6Gb/s (little b bits not bytes)
a little bit of simple math gives us 0.75 GB/s (big B), and the controller supports four links.
0.75 * 4 = 3
Which is bigger, 3 or 2?

>>106605786
I think really that's going to come down to how many PCIe lanes you are spending on it. That's the bottleneck with ASMedia chips (if you make sure you get the right one for your number of ports and avoid cards with splitters in them.)
So for PCIe 1x 3.0 you're at 1 GB/s, and most SATA HDDs will average around 150MB/s (despite their ratings of much higher speeds) so you can fit 6, nearly 7, HDDs on one port at full speed.
If you don't need every port at once, you can fit more, as you mentioned.
Combined with the motherboard SATA ports that puts you at 10 drives, which I think is a good amount for most people.
The SAS HBA I usually hear recommended is the LSI 9211-8i. It ranges from ~£10-£30 more than the equivalent ASMedia card (ASM1166), but the major cost is that it takes up an 8x PCIe slot instead of a 1x.
The reason I got on to the ASM card in the first place is because my motherboard has a 16x, a 1x, and a 16x@4x, which is a pretty common configuration for motherboards because of how many lanes the CPU/chipset has available. The 16x has a GPU, the 16x@4x has a NIC, so that leaves the 1x, and I think it's probably a fairly common situation, but the SAS HBA advice would have you think you need a separate device or a more expensive motherboard.

>>106605155
>>106606314
of course, in the real world, you're not likely to be maxing out sata on a spinner, but it's still an important consideration.

>>106606314
That would be a completely valid argument if HDDs achieved their full speed, but they don't.

>>106606333
If you have a situation where you're maxing out your SATA connection, getting that rated speed, then yeah I can see how the bottleneck starts to matter, that's fair enough. I think that the vast majority of people hearing that advice are not going to be doing that though, because it's quite uncommon to get speeds above 200MB/s on spinning disks, so for them it's poor advice.

>libnvidia-ml.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory: unknown
could it be because container searching for that file inside container's own namespace instead of host's namespace?
you probably need to mount that file or install it to image before build I believe

Also are you sure your 1050 will handle transcoding? 4k->1080 is fine but I'm not sure for the reverse.

>>106606681
I think I'll go through with my plan of just backing up all my containers, setting up a docker compose for those that don't have em, and completely reinstalling docker itself, this time with the GPU actually included in its creation.

This will at least make me relearn some stuff.

I wish there was a way to tell all those Amazon reviewers buying refurbished (or even "new") drives and posting "great! zero hours!" in their reviews what's been done to them.
Buying a hard drive feels like such a slog. Was it always this bad?
