READ THE WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server

>NAS Case Guide. Feel free to add to it:
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server/Case_guide

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualisation. 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 flavour 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?
/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. 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.

Doesnt LoL have some pretty nasty anticheat stuff? My understanding is that online comptetitive games dont work on Linux because they typically use proprietary (windows-centric) spyware that you cant replicate/get working just by using a compatibility layer like Wine.

I dont play competitive games but I've never had a single issue running other Windows games on Linux, just try and install the games on your Linux install and try it out. You'll find out pretty quickly.

Anyone here running a reverse proxy in a container? How do you handle getting the source IP of the client, so that x-forwarded-for can be set correctly? I'm thinking of a couple of ways:
1. Container in a host network

3. Running main proxy on host
4. Using socket activation, since I use Podman and Traefik.

Do they happen to be WD blues? And maybe trueNAS for OS?
You need to wdidle WD drives to have a longer idle timeout because they're trying to park the head and spin down at the same interval that OS diagnostics are asking it for info.
wdidle is a DOS utility however, I don't remember if the linux knockoff utility can actually do the same.

anons, has any of you tried buying 3 or more mini pcs to make a cluster server out of them? Currently I am using used-parts-made PC and old laptop as a homeserver but I was thinking of having something more robust for hosting some services for a small penny in exchange. I have found cheap ~100$ mini PCs and thought of two variants, buying double port ones like MLLSE G2 Pro Mini, or buying single port ones like SOYO Mini PC Mini M4 Plus2 and combine them with a switch. I am in favour of that as you get some neat computing power in exchange for low price and power consumption and the ability to swap m2 nvme ssd for multi SATA adapter and attatch a few drives to each if I wish so. Has any of you tried it and can tell me about some other ups and downs? I don't wanna get fucked in the wallet

I want to set up a containerized szurubooru, and it requires a PostgreSQL (psql) database. I have a proxy server set up in docker that talks to a MySQL container, but it can ALSO use psql if I want it to. I don't intend on hosting a lot of database-driven services, maybe only the image board (or an alternative) and the proxy server (npm). Is it worth it to migrate everything over to just one containerized database service? Or should I just let szuru have its own?
On one hand, just having each service run its own database would be easier (and perhaps more secure, I don't exactly have the highest trust in szuru), but on the other hand, I'm running stuff on an old laptop and resources aren't completely unlimited (though they're still very high).

If nothing else it would be an interesting project learning Docker Compose to run two intermittent service stacks that depend on a third, common service stack.

Visit your local thrift stores; when you find a router there, search the model number and find out if it can run OpenWrt. If you don't have any luck with thrift stores, do the same with eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and/or your local equivalents.

Don't limit yourself to 802.11n, though, even if that's all you need. 802.11ac (and possibly 802.11ax) are old enough that they might be the best deal you come across.

I'm running proxmox with a bunch of docker containers in a VM. I'm currently exposing this to my tailnet by using tailscale in an LXC acting as a subnet router. I'm interested in how traffic flows and if I'm doing something suboptimal.
The docker VM runs a bunch of services including DNS and a reverse proxy which is the entry point for everything besides the DNS server. The DNS server has an A record pointing *.mydomain.tld to the docker VM IP, which then hits the reverse proxy on ports 80 and 443.
I'm wondering how much of the traffic between the tailscale LXC and docker VM actually stays inside the machine and how much makes round trips through the network.
>>
So are any of those small SSD NAS mini PCs any good?
>>
>>106894859
Define "good". Firmware and power efficiency are usually lack luster on most units. The thermal design can vary, so get one that uses the case as a heatsink for the NVMes.
>>
Often with docker compose I see people adding
nginx,traefik,caddy or other networks to containers they want to access via reverse proxy
so for example torrent container gets network 'nginx'
shouldn't it be reversed so it is the nginx proxy manager container getting the extra 'torrent' network?
if everything has 'nginx' network everything can see the other containers, right?
>>
>>106893756
>cheapest AP/router that doesn't suck
Ironically the R7800(/D7800) which was just mentioned with OpenWRT. You should be able to get them for dirt cheap on local markets like the other anon suggested. If the seller is being a fag about pricing, strong-arm them about the unit's age to get the price down.
Failing that, the TP-Link Archer C7 (very version dependent so dyor), but they're getting extremely limited hardware-wise nowadays and are stuck without DSA iirc. The R7800(/D7800) is the better pick though and it completely mogs newer, cheaper APs on signal strength.
If you get the D7800 you can also remove the DSL modem since OpenWRT won't support it and it saves a bit of heat/power. If you find other units, just make sure to do research and see what the OpenWRT community thinks of it first.

>>
>>106893236
To perform routing you need to have an interface IP in the subnet of your next hop. You also need to have IP interfaces in the subnets of hosts to which traffic can be routed. L2 switches don’t have interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses - as the other guy said - if they did, they’d be L3. ARP isn’t related - it just resolves IPs to MACs - it doesn’t give you routes to IPs. If an L2 switch receives a frame with a destination IP outside its subnet (which an L3 switch would handle with routing), it doesn’t know how to forward it. It can’t ARP for that IP, since ARP is restricted to the L2 broadcast domain, ie within the subnet/VLAN.

Up to you. Personally I use windows but I dont see any issues if I were to migrate to linux.

At this point I don't really care about the themes, I just want to defeat their security as a challenge
>>
>>106902106
That's incredibly gay of them.
As an alternative approach, you could try using memory reading stuff (Cheat Engine? Something along those lines) to find the codes of the colours they use, or a colour picker /might/ work, then search for those codes in the dumped binary and replace them with something like dd.
While I would simply avoid using it, I understand the spite/challenge angle.

I'm not a /g/ fella, so sorry in advance if this is a dumb question, do you guys generally use a standard monitor for server maintenance or mostly access them remotely from another desktop/laptop?

I was curious if there was any options for cheap mini displays for quick maintenance. I've been mostly using RustDesk to access my server since I don't have any spare monitors and it's a bit annoying to borrow one from my current PC setup just to do simple shit. I was mostly just curious if you guys had any recommendations in case I need to access the bios in the near future or something odd that may necessitate a direct feed.
>>
>>106903316
cheap it isn't, but a camera field monitor is immensely convenient for doing direct access maintenance. Other than that, I mostly just use ssh to do everything remotely.
>>
>>106903316
some garbage like this will work if you want a direct attach monitor, just get any IO adapters you might need. otherwise it remoting in is always easier.

>>
>>106903316
when you do server maintenance, depending on what it is, you decide what you'll need to properly see the task through. you can get a monitor and keyboard yes, but there are also KVM based solutions and IPMI based solutions which can get through the more troublesome tasks which would take out network connectivity for the base system.
right now i rely on IPMI based solutions. but, if i was in the market for something serious i would go for an actual KVM based setup. a proper raritan with a console and DSIM modules. otherwise there's jetkvm and a bunch of other bullshit bootleg poorfag shit.

A little bigger than I'd like, I was thinking something in the department of what the previous anon suggested in terms of size. I guess like a pocketable display I could leave on top of the server or have on the side of my desk that I could easily plug in whenever necessary.
>>106903372
I wish I could intelligently respond to this, but maybe my reasoning doesn't really necessitate what I'm asking for if I'm too tech illiterate to understand what you said. I should probably explain that it's just a host server for Plex and miscellaneous games and bots I mess around with.

It might be extremely stupid and probably won't work the way I expect it, but I bought an HDMI to analog transmitter because I have some 4:3 shows I like to display on my CRT televisions and since the server's not connected to any monitor, the remote display is in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Id probably still need to fiddle with settings to get the display just right, but if I was truly psychotic I could always try and monitor it that way, but I'm not sure how bad the latency would be in a scenario like that.

sup nerds rate my cluster design

the goal is a truly no single point of failure homelab deployment

I'm optimizing for low power and quiet operation. These will be running talos linux for a bare metal kubernetes deployment. The control planes simply need fast storage and CPU ensuring etcd doesn't get out of sync. The GPU workers are getting NVIDIA T600s for on the fly transcoding, should it be necessary. The ceph cluster will hold 2 OSDs(disks) each. I'm shooting for 24TB usable in the beginning then expanding it later on. I'm putting SSDs in these but I want to go NVME at some point

I might go 100g networking if I can find a good deal on optics. I have a few Juniper qfx 5200s sitting around and I've gotten them pretty quiet fucking with the fans. I know they're not low power.

this will be running Plex, NAS, blah blah blah, typical homelab shit. Its just me and my wife using it but it will have horizontal pod autoscaling to meet any burstable demand and geographic redundancy since once this is up I'm spinning up 2-3 replication clusters if I can get some rack space at a good price

I just use NPM because I can't be bothered with actually figuring out how to set up Nginx Raw for reverse proxying.
I had three setups.
- One was it running in its own container, accepting certain ports, then forwarding traffic to containers with explicitly defined open ports.
- The second setup was also its own container, but I had it attached to a "proxy network" along with any other service I needed to proxy to.
- The third setup is the same as above, but everything's on the same network because "this is a fucking HDR artwork booru I'm hosting, I don't need super duper security for it"

>>106893741
>>106893957
The funniest thing is that NPM wasn't even using the MySQL database at all. It was using its own internal SQLite database. No idea why it was using so much CPU using literally nothing. But it's dead now.
Postgres was fun because it's even more annoying than regular MySQL, since if I want to create a separate database and user for it, I have to do like 3 different commands (what the fuck is a public schema?).
And then I have to do it again
and again
and again until I realize that every time I downed the stack, the DB would erase everything because postgres's installation compose file kindly omitted any volumes or bind mounts.

But everything seems to be working now. HDR artwork website soon. No longer shall I anguish over Twitter and Pixiv stripping the gainmaps from my JPEG files.

My network is fully local. It's not about security. but having the correct IP in access logs makes debugging stuff significantly easier. By using a bridge network, the RP can't see the real IP of the client. So now the apps down stream don't have a proper x-forwarded-for header.

I'm looking at routers up to 200 EUR.
The ASUS RT-BE92U is 180, I've had lots of ASUS routers and they've been pretty good in terms of hardware, but with crap long-term firmware support.
I'm also strongly considering the Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 7 (UDR7), but I have zero experience with Ubiquiti.
What can I expect in terms of reliability and firmware stability and support?
>>
>>106908551
>a bridge network in actual networking terminology would never strip or modify header information by default.
The topic is container networking. Docker and Podman apply SNAT on any "external" packets. So the Src IP field is ALWAYS modified, regardless of if it's a proxy container or not. In regards to HTTP traffic, the solution is for the proxy to set an x-forwarded-for HTTP header that will be used by the apps instead of reading the Src IP field.
Now, the dilemma is how to get a clients real IP to the proxy so that it can set the HTTP header before SNAT is applied. Because there are so many ways of doing it.

I run the network for my living group and sometimes someone is pirating and I get a strongly worded letter from the ISP. They'll give me the target IP and start and end times. I want to map this to an output device/VLAN

You could drive yourself nuts searching giant packet captures for peer IPs.

But all it gets me is a VPN I can connect to, but nothing routes through it.
Trying to fix the problem with AI chatbots is absolutely infuriating.
Chatbot confidently tells me to modify settings that will fix the problem.
It doesn't fix it or makes it worse (can't even connect to VPN anymore)

masquerading is optional for docker or rootful podman. you can do routing and advertise the container subnets. stop avoiding it by making excuses.

>>106913383
with netflow you would identify them immediately. wireshark is useless to you because it's host based. you need to have a SPAN or netflow capturing your LAN traffic to be able to peep the traffic. then you'd take the PCAP file and load it in wireshark or view it in the console buffer of your device running the capture.

>>106913995
>i'd suggest wireguard
how is wireguard going to help me when OpenVPN is running and I can connect to it. Yes, the problem is the routing. Yes, I've tried every different way under the sun to do masquerading. It's just fucking useless.
>>
>>106914076
...and that's why I started diagnosing the networking. OpenVPN needs just a few things to work. You have a connection up. The second one is whether you've flipped on the ip forwarding sysctl, and the final part is masquerading. Can you confirm you've done the sysctl? If you can ping the remote end of the openvpn connection that's helpful as well.

I still need a 4th one, anywhere that sells drives with 3-5 year waranties that would have a 12tb drive for 150$ still?

anons, how can i access my ubuntu VM thats running a VPN with tailscale? I'm using PIA and it allows for you to have an ignore list of IP ranges and in there I have my tailnet range but still cant get it to come through. Is there some ip magic incantation I have to run in order for it to connect? I just want to access my transmission web interface and check on/add torrents when not at home dammit

I've always just used either the magicdns hostname or the machine tailscale ip (plus appended port if applicable) for remote tailscale access without issue. You have tailscale installed and logged in on both the target AND client machine, right? Also I don't think it will work if you put the tailscale internal ip (ie 100.100.200.200 or whatever) on the ignore list, you would probably need actual split tunneling or something to simplify it so tailscale doesn't even try to talk over the vpn, if possible.

No one? Copyparty?

try the userspace tailscaled option and/or the 'tailscale ssh' command.

I have it. It's okay. Ui sucks. Could probably mod it if I wanted, but it works. Nothing really to write home about.

I liked that it has an android app or browser view that you can view images/video quickly and upload fast. i've tried a few ways on android to easily transfer or view files stored on my NAS and it still takes fucking forever to load thumbnails and to upload. Forever I mean like about a min when realistically over wifi6 it should be seconds.

how do i enable file sharing of a usb drive on my openwrt router to connected devices over wifi?
>>
>>106916051
you shouldn't do that, routers on their own have limited resources,
but if you still insist here it goes:: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/nas/cifs.server

also do a research before asking easily googleable questions as this is sqt tier
