Humiliation ritual. I guess I have to blog post to keep this thread from dying in 4 posts.
I'm going to have to wriggle under my bed like a worm again this weekend to make a second attempt at getting my new router working. Chatgpt thinks it wasn't working because the isp is "sticky" with the mac address. So I'm setting the wan ports mac to the same as the isp routers. The router says it's on vlan 0, but the ai is doubling down that I need to be on vlan 35. If I have to wriggle under there more than once I'm going to kill myself. I'm not even fat, I swear. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

I apologize if this is off topic but you guys are probably the best to ask. How do I go about completely backing up my data on an external drive? I have a machine limping along that at this point I absolutely have to reinstall windows on. I will also be using this opportunity to switch to the LTSC version of Win10 since Win11 is a disaster.

I just want to be able to restore all of my data to exactly how I have it now on the fresh install.

For your usecase I think it would be best to just pick up an external hdd which is big enough for your data. Just copy over all of your data along with your %appdata% folder. Then after your new os is installed you can copy it back to where you want it.

Anyone thing getting a STKP22000400 as temp storage for a few failing drives is a tremendously bad idea? It'll only be used in passing.

I can get one(1) HDD. It won't be in a RAID. Do I wanna risk losing 4TBs of data all at once, or risk losing 12TBs of data all at once? Why the weird jump? They're priced about the same in terms of per TB.

The only one that doesn't speed up my hair loss is HAProxy. Its configuration makes sense to me, it flows logically. I don't need to fuck around with a gorillion settings made for web hosting and PHP and shit.

Trying to work out a system to synchronize RetroArch save games that are modified by my iPhone with a OneDrive folder has turned into a whole rabbit hole of what it'd be like to run my own personal cloud storage server.

I'm tempted to set up a Nextcloud server at home just to have the experience of doing it and seeing how stuff connects to it (and get a little more use out of my domain name).

>Nextcloud
who's gonna tell him

>>108059626
To go along with this: what's the most effective way to do split-horizon DNS in your home network? Figure if I'm going to set up a Nextcloud server in my house I should also figure out how to not go past the demarc when I'm in my local network if I want to move files around and not be penalized by my ISP's up and download speeds.

Would this also involve taking the DNS and DHCP functionality out of my router and putting it into a dedicated (or virtual) network appliance?

PiHole seems like one such method to do it but that does seem to be taking some functionality from my router and putting my own service in charge of it.

nginx isn't good and you're delusional if you think it is. you can keep coping claiming you're big brain because you know all the idiotic intricacies of the configuration, but it's still a massive footgun that requires careful tuning to get functional for any actual production use.

no it isn't and no it doesn't. its easy to say such shit without giving examples. in reality cause it didnt work immediately out of the box you retards run screaming at the mere thought of having to edit a config.

i also use caddy, because it does ssl for me and is easier to run in front of dockerslop. hence why i recommended it. its genuinely good for http/s

i'm thinking of turning my old 1060 4650k into a media/file server. what would be the best way to use that pc to handle all my torrents? i know you're able to host a webui using qbittorent but that doesnt seem very practical

>>108060772
Transmission is good but I dont like the web UI but I get around that using the remote desktop and android apps that are very nice

>>108060559
nginx won't pass through Expect: 100-continue to you, simply telling downstream to keep sending.
combine that with the fact that nginx is painfully finnicky if your upstream Connection: close early without reading the whole body.
You usually have to write a lot of basic rewrites for reverse proxying that other revproxies like traefik literally just do by default.
and lets not forget nginx will literally segfault on bad uses of `if`

the only reason I use this shit server is because it serves files, otherwise I would have moved on. maybe I'll try caddy if it actually serves files.

Is a retarded idea to get a Raspberry Pi4 with 8gb of RAM I have laying around, install Emby and Nextcloud on the SD card with the OS (The OS will run on RAM) and attach to it a 10TB HDD (To be set for life) for the actual storage?

>>108068515
sd cards will die at some point. I've had to reinstall the os twice in the last two weeks, I figure it was the sd card I can't connect the pi to a monitor to debug. The 32gb card still lasted 5-6 years without log2ram or anything.
You should install emby and nextcloud on the external drives, so you can reinstall the os and still have the configs and caches there. Also I think the sd card speed is slower than usb3.0 but not sure. Make sure to install log2ram to minimize sd card writes. Buy an endurance or industrial sd card to lower failure changes and buy 128gb instead of bare minimum as they last longer they say.
You won't get any transcoding in emby.

>>108055930
you can't do that.
you'd need to manually copy shit to an external or smb share and then copy it back.

I've got my openwrt router set to defaults, anything that actually needs to be done to it post-install?
Obviously all my traffic is routed through it now and the ISP router is only being used as a modem.

I want to set up game streaming with Moonlight/Sunshine or something similar. Aiming for 4K60 at a high bitrate (500Mbit+) and apparently that's beyond what a Raspberry Pi can do.
What's the minimum spec for reliably receiving/decoding/displaying such a stream? It needs to be something quite small and low power, because it needs to be squeezed inside a hollowed-out Playstation 1 case with enough room left over for various wires.

Caps dont do power delivery in DC. They are used for filtering and making the voltage cleaner. It will likely work fine without it but have lower lifespan due to unfiltered voltage noise.

>Ryzen 1700
>16gb RAM
>Asus Prime x370 pro
What I need is Jellyfin for watch parties, Immich for photos, maybe I'll take the chance to add pihole too and some other shit. I'm aware I'll need a GPU for transcoding, but also for Immich ML stuff, meaning I need some VRAM. I'll probably get a B580 or the cheapest GPU I can find that has more than 8gb of VRAM and pray it works fine.

Really easy, at least with BIND. You just define a "view" that matches your LAN CIDR and tell it to serve specific records to those clients. If your router supports hairpinning it's not really necessary, though. Entirely unrelated to DHCP so that can still be on your router, but of course if your router doesn't support configuring for split-horizon then you'll need to host it elsewhere. There's not really any upkeep, but you do need to treat the device you host it on as a core part of your network infrastructure. Thought about getting a more powerful router so I can run containers on it, but I like how much uptime I get out of my UPS with just sipping 5W.

It's incredibly practical. Unless you're maintaining thousands of torrents (even the qbittorrent native UI starts to struggle not far past this) there's not a good reason NOT to do things this way.

You need the port to your proxy (80/443) open on your router. Your proxy will need to point to the IP of the host running the container, and your 8133 port. Your container host will need to have 8133 open on its firewall, if it has one. It wasn't super clear, but if you mean your page worked externally after opening 8133 on your router, then your container application is probably generating redirects based on its internal address, so there may be a specific configuration required to put the application into a 'proxy aware' mode to serve an alternate URL.

I've already got wireguard setup, as I currently terminate TLS with the first (public) Caddy container on Hetzner (and then route to my home server via http inside wireguard). As another anon suggested, I tried HAProxy and it worked in my little test. My internal web server could still read the original requester's IP, which is great. I assume it just forwards the entire packet and then the response is carried back through wireguard? I'm still unsure why it works as intended. I just hope it doesn't leak my home's public IP.

>>108078893
Yes, Docker is one mechanism; if a service in a container is compromised, its ability to do anything outside that container is relatively limited. Container escapes are a concern, but nothing is bulletproof.

If you use a tunnel, your ports aren't open on YOUR IP, but by running the tunneling software you are just opening your ports on someone else's IP (as well as introducing the risk of this new software). If someone connects to your old Minecraft server and exploits the log4j vulnerability, it doesn't matter how they've connected to it. If someone can send a network packet that, somehow, eventually, reaches your server, that's some level of threat. Generally speaking, the risk of exposing a port isn't that action itself, it's giving access to the potentially vulnerable application at the other end of it to someone.

It's great to be conscious of security and take it seriously, but cybersecurity is a balancing game of risk and friction for each particular use case, so blanket rules like "never ever open ports" are usually well-meaning but not gospel.


>>108079074
'packet' isn't used at the HTTP level, but basically, yes, your reverse proxy passes along the HTTP request to the destination (through wireguard), and your server generates a response to send back to the proxy to pass back to the user. Your webserver doesn't "actually" see the IP of the user, that's an HTTP header that Caddy adds to the request before passing it. It's a standard thing that pretty much every webserver understands exactly because proxies are such an important scenario.
I see L4 proxying was also mentioned so maybe you also meant you tested that. L4 can operate in two modes, pass through or proxy/NAT mode. Pass through will pass the packet directly, resulting in the source IP actually being the client's, and your target server would send the TCP response back directly to the client, without going through wireguard. Proxy mode replaces the source IP and acts like a MITM

>>108079230
can't tell if LLM, but I left out some context in my reply. The HAProxy test I did was working in TCP mode, which is why I was wondering whether it just passed the entire segment or packet (which you somehow stumbled your way to in the end anyway). But, that internal Caddy instance is only attached to the Wireguard container's network, so shouldn't it spit the response back to the request client the same way it came in? That's what I'm worried about, but I just haven't had the time to properly examine it.

I have a large external drive arriving in a few days. I don't think I am savvy enough to linux my way out of this without seriously risking data loss. I'm a pretty typical michealsoft npc so of course this is my only copy of all my important data.
I'm trying to correct my ways though. I recognized I need to this while my computer is relatively stable/bootable and nothing is corrupted. This is definitely a lesson for me in good data keeping practices.

not leaking your home IP is a cherry on top of your security stack, not your security in itself.

>>108079273
if the original drives are failing or on the verge of dying then don't use rsync or any simple file copier. You have to use special tools that copy drives sector by sector and make sure not to retry bad ones to put strain on it. To do this you boot on a live environement so that the failing drive would not be mounted, and then run the thing to copy the stuff. It would basically make a 1 to 1 image of the hard drive, and spit out info about broken sectors.
I was about to it with one drive that was fucked it was basically all stuff I could redownload so I used rsync until I could read half the files.
I was on linux but I'm sure there are windows ways to do this, by clicking and shit. Well maybe winshit won't do it:
https://old.reddit.com/r/datarecovery/comments/uhjq7f/is_there_a_free_imaging_tool_that_is_as_good_as/i76pgig/

>>108079273
If you really want ALL of your data (like your Windows directories; probably not if you're re-installing) but don't want to Linux, you could try one of those hardware drive cloners. Should be "safe and bulletproof" but I've never actually used one. Otherwise, it sounds like you're probably fine just copy+pasting your important stuff (like your user folders) from Windows. robocopy is a bit more robust though so I'd suggest that.

>>108079256
HAProxy in L4 will pass TCP packets, yes. As mentioned, it'll either modify the source IP in the packet (proxy mode, won't leak destination IP), or it won't modify anything in the packet (passthrough mode, leaks destination IP).
Caddy proxies at the HTTP level, so it can't leak your destination IP since that information isn't included in an HTTP request/response. Unlike L4 passthrough, there's not really any way for your destination webserver to directly reply to the client, even if it does know its IP address.

i said NAT you fucking idiot, can you read? hahahahaha! here is how a DMZ is properly done just so you shut the fuck up.

more simply done compared to how my DMZ is set up, you can simply multihome a VM hosting a service if you want to avoid hairpinning, you can use masquerading outbound from the VPS to hide your home IP, you can do DNAT on the VPS inbound over the tunnel to your home network for your services. all while preserving headers, without requiring installation and configuring of a separate VM, without extra strain on the VPS, and so on. it's not hard. that's a simple version compared to mine.

STOP ABUSING PROXIES, RETARD.

>rpi5 has a 4k60fps HEVC HW decoder
I've heard mixed things about how reliably it can actually handle 4K. In particular I saw some reports that it could decode 4K60 but seemed to struggle to actually output it with reliable frame pacing. I researched it a while ago and there's a risk that I mixed up the pi 4 and 5, so I'll double check.
>A 500Mb stream is utterly unreasonable and you will need around 1/5th of that
I'll do some tests but I'm a bit skeptical about that. A ~100Mbit/s HEVC 4K bluray looks great, but that's an offline encode that has the luxury of looking ahead in the video and doing multiple passes and all that stuff. Surely it's going to perform much worse if I want the latency to be low?

I'm actually considering using pyrofling with the pyrowave codec instead
https://themaister.net/blog/2025/06/16/i-designed-my-own-ridiculously-fast-game-streaming-video-codec-pyrowave/
which prioritises latency and encode/decode speed. It encodes each frame separately and the docs and examples use speeds starting at 200Mbit/s. I think it requires both server and client to be Linux, but I can work with that.

>multihome a VM hosting a service if you want to avoid hairpinning
There's nothing inherently wrong with hairpinning and would be a viable solution for the anon concerned with using his external bandwidth. And while it can work, multihoming a public IP into a private network I don't think is a particularly good approach, primarily because residential IPs change frequently enough that it would cause the extra maintenance burden of having to update IP assignments every time your WAN IP changes. IMHO split-horizon DNS is the best choice for the scenario.
>masquerading outbound from the VPS to hide your home IP
That's an option for some use cases, but it doesn't let you share multiple hosts on the same IP:port combo which is going to necessitate a reverse proxy somewhere in the chain, anyway.

>>108080430
Definitely look up benchmarks before pulling the trigger, but the short story is that for minimum latency you'll be looking at a HW decoder so you just need to get the smallest package for a given decoder that'll fit your needs. All the mainline GPUs use the same de/encoders in all products of a given line (with the only difference being artificial limitations, like number of concurrent decodes).
Indeed lowest latency means worse maximum compression, but there are diminishing returns the higher up in bitrate you get, so when using lossy compression you're just not going to get that data rate at 4k60.
The codec you linked looks neat, but I didn't see any actual latency comparisons vs the traditional, better-optimized codecs. Even if it was (significantly) faster, I'm pretty sure network jitter or other noise would be a far bigger factor in latency. If you're chasing submicrosecond latency improvements, you really just shouldn't be streaming IMHO.

I think I'm losing it.
So I have a shitty router that I want to open some ports in the firewall in.
To do this, I have to specify the mac address of the target host and the port numbers.
If I put in the mac address of my desktop, I can reach it from the outside WAN.
If I put in the mac address of my Odroid XU4, I can't connect to it.
I can connect to the Odroid without issue on the LAN, so it is providing services no problem.
I can connect to the desktop PC running GNU/Linux without problem.
But I cannot connect to the Odroid from the WAN, even though I configured its mac in the firewall, just like I did with the desktop.

What the fuck am I doing wrong?
Am I stupid?
Is the mac address I am trying on some kind of permanent black list of my ISP's router?
I can't look into the firewall because the router is a locked down piece of shit.

Yes, I double checked for typos. Triple and quadruple checked, even. I installed Wireshark to look at the ARP requests to make sure it's the correct mac address.
I honestly am close to throw the fucking Odroid out the window.

It is disabled. I of course opened ports 80 and 443 in the UFW but neither enabling nor disabling it changes a thing.
I could probably wireshark the connection to make sure no packet ever reaches it, but I don't have to. I'm convinced it's the ISP router firewall.
But I can't inspect its logs so I'm stumped.

>>108082541
I considered those Topton boxes too, but they're *even more* expensive, and force you to scavenge for your own DDR5 and NVME drives, which in this economy, for just a router, is incredibly grim.
Plus I would prefer to own a proper reputable foss device than some mystery meat aliexpress special. I don't foresee myself ever getting bottlenecked by the APU, any "future proofing" I do here probably ends up unused forever.

>>108082710
Aside from it being blocked along the way, it is possible there's a MAC conflict. I had an issue like that that took me months to wrap my head around, it essentially boiled down to the hardware MAC address being the same as the localhost's NIC, so the host essentially only resolved itself. Try changing the Odroid's MAC, update the MAC in the firewall entry and see if that does anything.

>I need to start moving my VPS's into my bedroom due to costs
Might as well ask the thread about this too. The VPS I need to replicate needs at minimum 8GB ram, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD. Couple dedicated cores are plenty.
I've found one of these with an i5-7500T, 256GB NVME and 16GB DDR4, for 130€. I already happen to have dozen 1TB 2.5" disks laying around, which these ProDesks I believe can fit. So that pretty much fits my requirements.
But does something more .. production-like but still budget-friendly exist? It'll just be running a community, like a forum, so nothing that critical, but I do still worry about the lack of redundancy with a setup like this.
I guess my desktop's 20TBs of spinning rust can at least nullify the data loss risk.

what the fuck are you talking about, that's not what vpns do at all LOL, you don't even know what you're talking about. i want to hear you explain what vpns do. go ahead tell me
>your VPN provider is selling that info
what info? tell me exactly what info you're talking about
>to mossad, the cia, and anyone who gives them 4 bucks.
please provide me proof that nordvpn, expressvpn, and mullvad are selling user data. you absolutely will not and your next post will avoid probably all of my challenges to you LOL and i bet you'll also call me mossad or a jew or something stupid like you faggot schizos always do. notice how you retards can NEVER provide proof of anything you claim? weird.

Typically red and black.
Yellow is RPM and blue is PWM

How do you document your homelab? I find that I write scripts and set up integrations and everything just werks until something breaks, and then I have no idea what I did and it takes forever to fix.

the ones that run the net, which is happening more and more lately. it's always dns.

i bet you think all that youtube shilling for betterhelp isn't funded directly by mossad and the CIA to get your personal "mental health" details. people exist who are this fucking gullible.

Nothing worse than going through a bunch of scripts wondering "why the fuck did I write this?" or "this seems way too complicated for such a simple problem, surely i can get away with a much smaller script"

>>108088326
which company specifically? do you understand that saying "all dns goes down all the time" is a literal lie that is provably wrong? you don't understand that do you. their provider metrics prove that you're wrong.
>can't provide proof of anything
ok schizo. extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. let me know when you have ANY evidence, ok?

>>108088335
>Nothing worse than going through a bunch of scripts wondering "why the fuck did I write this?"
if you name your functions, files, and folders correctly then you don't have to worry about this. are you a beginner coder?

>>108088347

i accept your concession. perhaps you should consider the lengths mossad and cia go through to blackmail people.

>>108088362
are you retarded

>>108088367
>concession
concession about what? lol you made a claim with no evidence then said "i accept your concession". about what exactly? about your claim with no evidence? what a fucking retard. you're clearly underage

thanks nocoder

how's about an old shitty commercial lenovo laptop (not thinkpad) as a headless home server? My main concern is power consumption since electricity ain't cheap where I'm from

>>108089232
why not just buy a low power desktop?

>>108089232
i feel like you'd get a lot more value out of a mini-pc; newer chip is likely to have better pwoer consumption; it would also have a lot of headroom for clocking up if needed, and you're not paying for a screen

>>108088367
i'm not gonna read whatever you're trying to argue, but if you're worried about an intelligence agency, you're playing some dramatic security theater. they would just disappear you if you mattered. they don't need cause.

Yes that's why a Jew went around blackmailing people with pedo sex for 20 years when they could have just disappeared them!

I forgot to mention that the old laptop is already given to me so the option is that or spending for a new mini PC

Need some help anons, i have setup and made homeservers in the past, but it was usually a meter away from me. Now i would need to setup a homeserver, and be sure that i can reliably connect to it from like idk other side of the country, without any way to physically access it at demand. So what i need a system that just does not fail or has redundancy, i have a old laptop that i am thinking of as the core, with my orangepi as a redundancy / processing offload. Ive worked with my orangepi and know that it is damm reliable, however my trust in my old laptop is kinda meh, i know it should not do anything weird, but i have not tried actually using it as a homeserver, batteries dont matter, its gonna be wired 24x7 (NiCd so no worries abt degradation). My main purposes would be a storage server (im leaving a 2tb hardrive behind, but planning to upgrade in far future). The ability to mount and use filesystem of that drive over nfs or samba, and maybe setup some cron jobs for ripping and transcoding. Im thinking of using tailscale to connect all my devices, how reliable would this setup be and what unexpected errors can i face?. Also how would i setup the orangepi to restart to or fix my lappy in case it nukes itself.

>>108090102
Op here, i would like to note:- That i would have a short amount of time like idk 1 month to setup and test the system, preliminary tests should be done, but long term errors i cannot forsee. Also i am broke and i need to make do with just the hardware i mentioned, software solutions especially foss ones are what im looking for, also i use tailscale free if that matters

you don't know the first thing about privacy and security clearly. you're just a dumb 4chan schizo, and thus can be completely ignored. idiots like you provide zero evidence for anything and talk in vague terms so you can never be held to account. claims without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. everything you've claimed is a complete waste of time and no one is actually listening to you. you're a faggot. i bet you're unemployed and on medication

>>108089886
mini pc. only retards use laptops for a server. your laptop is for taking with you when you go places. servers are for parking somewhere for good. get an ultra low power minipc with big disks

>>108090168
any suggestions? brands? perhaps models too?

>>108089232
>>108089886

Depending on how old, it will still sip if it's sitting there doing fuck-all. It's really better to start throwing what you want on it and get something more suitable once you figure out what you're doing and need.

>>108090189
lenovo tiny
hp mini
dell micro
Lots of examples with relatively recent processors floating around $200. But there's a plethora of junk around $100 easily. Most ebay mini things come with everything to get going too but you should start with the laptop just to fuck around.

It's a fine example of baiting by exploiting emotional instability of a persons with insecurity and a weak sense of self. As can be seen here, this method is especially effective on nerd topic discussions.

nobody is asking you to pronounce it out loud but i have (we use it at work) and i think both "four-gee-joe" and "forge-joe" are acceptable

i don't really bother. making changes to my setup is an all-consuming mental process for me anyway, so i just re-learn things if and when needed.

I've obtained it.
This unit has two wifi radios and 3 nics. That's 1 too many of both for what I need.
What can I use the spare hardware for? Spying on my neighbors?

Ironwolf or Red Plus?

>>108093069

Red plus is shit now that they got rid of all the helium drives

Ironwolf also sucks

>>108093093
what options do we have then

shits the bed 8 times out of 10 when you restart the server, i have to go full devops-webshit to tinker with it everytime it fails.

helium leaks with some ease, maybe the 5 years warranty will be really 5 years because when the gas leaks it ogre

Had to switch my Gluetun container to use a wireguard configuration from OpenVPN since Mullvad stopped supporting OpenVPN, but since doing that I've had a problem with qbittorrent getting stuck on "downloading metadata" until the qbittorrent container is restarted, after which it works fine
Looking in the Gluetun logs it looks like occasionally the container will be marked as unhealthy and restart, and presumably qbit doesn't re-establish the connection after that?
Everything else in the stack handles it just fine, so I'm wondering if it's even Gluetun causing it, but it's the only thing I've changed and it's been working fine for months prior.
Any ideas?

I use ansible. I figured it was overkill for my need but then I needed to reinstall my shit 5 times in a month and it aws based.
Ansible is still shit and slow as fuck but it's damn better than doing things by hand. And being able to set global variables for paths is a need
