Best Practices Editionprevious: >>107761293READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. 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/vXJ2PZxnCockpit is nice for remote administrationRemember:RAID protects you from DOWNTIMEBACKUPS protect you from DATA LOSS
AWS Glacier Deep Archive is bretty gud for worst case scenario backupsLess than a cent per 10GB per month Less than a dollar per TB per month

>1TB SSD taking a month to ship>price has doubled since i ordered it>assume they'll cancel my order and make me spend twice as much>they finally shipped it and its on its wayim relieved
>>107815921>panic bought two dozen HDDs last minute>get the UPS "delivery scheduled" email the same day I read about that retailer mass cancelling orders and jacking up pricesI still feel like I'm about to go into cardiac arrest kek
I set my old PC parts up so I can SSH into it any time and it's been stable for 3 days. I haven't done anything else. I'm retarded and vacation ends soon so I got lazy and used tailscale so I can set up a less pozzed ssh method later.I bought a domain too so I can set up some shit friends and family can use.... not sure what to do next guys. the computer's empty. 4TB RAID 1.
>>107815980>I bought a domainwhy not have a free duckdns record?Also, you need a script to ensure your public ip doesnt change and when it does, update your DNS record
>>107815993I actually have a script doing that already, connected to my host. I know about gay dynamic IP already
>>107815921>>107815957I bought 2 26TB WD Red Pros over the holiday and they just got delivered. They were $500 + I received 10% back on my Prime card so ~$450 each which makes it $17.30/GB. Seeing prices now that is now around $540. Am I good to return or are we at a state where I should keep these? Also my existing NAS has 5 12TB drives so not sure what I can begin to do with these
>>107816221No one knows for sure but as I said I bought two dozen HDDs. I'm literally betting on this not stopping anytime soon. If it's returning them or not eating this month yeah of course return them, if you can afford it and need the space or spares hold on to them for dear fucking life.
>>107816039Ok anon what exact post count would you like the new thread made at? :)
>>107815771Why is she missing a sock
>>107816221Oh wow, I just checked the prices in my country. $700 for the 24TB Red Pro.Time to go back to shucking drives, I guess.
>>107816476To make sure she didn't build up too much statis electricity.
I fucked up and held off buying HDDs.Should I get this now? I need more space.It's $469 * 13% tax + $108 shipping = $638. Or $24.5/TB.In comparison, new HDDs are usually $33/TB now.
Is there a service that will automatically download new episodes of seasonal anime? I know you can set up RSS in qbittorrent but I want the episodes moved into series directories when they're done downloading.
>>107817177Look up *arr.
>>107817177Isn't that the point of setting up an arr stack? i.e. sonarr, and whatever they all are called?
>>107817207Yeah, Sonarr, Radarr, Forgarr, Nigarr.
>>107817272...you're making that last one up aren't you?
>>107817272Oh no he forgarr
>>107815885>hey, I'd like my 1GB back>"sure, that'll be 10k"
>>107817290It automatically pulls subtitles in Nigerian why do you ask?
>>107817334theres multiple different costs involved in retrieving the data, but a rough formula is 100x what it costs to store per monthso akchewully it would only cost $0.10 to retrieve that 1GBanother e.g. it costs $0.50 to store 500GBbut would cost $50.00 to retrievet. not a shill but someone who did the math last week when trying to decide between AWS Glacier Deep Archive vs Google Cloud Storage: Archival class. Google's costs are quite similar, a bit more expensive to store, I think slightly cheaper to retrieve, but in the same ballpark for both. But I went with Amazon's cheaper storage price plus I didn't want to put all my eggs in the Google basket anyway.
>>107815771I dunno what to do with the micro data center i built at home. All I think is how to make it more efficient but I've never thought about do I even need all the services I'm running
>>107816221fuck okay. should I buy a new 2 bay NAS and just chuck these fucks in there? I just researched some more and I am gonna keep them but no idea what to do
>>107818406Why would you spend money on something you have no idea what to do with? You're the reason why things go up in price, people like you just panic buys shit.
>>107817714>all the services I'm runningwhich are?probably not enough, throw more at it
>>107816911yea go get it
I've been arching libgen for a while now and would like to start seeding back to the community. I don't have any ports exposed on my router for security reasons.If i were to expose a port to my seedbox on my router, what precautions should i take? webserver torrent client is set to local login only. are there security risks of someone finding a way to jump to port 22 after my router forwards any incoming traffic matching my forward rules??
