if your filesystem doesn't have checksumming at least, it's dogshit and you aren't saving anything important on that storage. you are just an illiterate scrub.

So do you guys use anything for automation for sorting out your backups?

I use Sonarr and Radarr mostly for their ability to refolder and rename what I already have. Be awesome to do that for all my stuff.

Will this impact the security of my network/pc since you have to open ports and stuff like that?

>>108312607
Yes. But that's only because you're adding another attack vector. If the game server on the inside end of the open port is secure then you're good. It's probably fine especially if it's some well known game like minecraft.

>>108312607
It's only as secure as the application that's running on that port. Doesn't matter which/how many ports are open. You could have 1000 ports open with Valheim and be fine, or a single port with a Windows XP print server and get ass blasted.

>>108312638

Yes, but minimaly unless you have that vm quarantined from the rest of your network. You could put it on its own vlan, or simply blacklist its ip from any machine that it doesn't need to connect to. Or you could, probably should, have firewalls active on all of your machines and only allow through the connections that they need. Anything that doesn't let you, iot/smart tv type stuff you put on it's own vlan.

>>108313101
I've been meaning to test out mods on minecraft. It has a file browser in the webui so it looks like you would drop the mods and configs in like any other server. I don't know about other games. I haven't interacted with the server at all but I've learned to take it for granted that devs are all massive fags. I got it because I was annoyes that every game has its own bespoke server config and management meathod. I didn't want to remember or document a bunch of different servers so I found a way to unify them. The licencing terms seem pretty reasonable. The servers are also customizeble, you can create your own kinda' like a docker file. You can also chose when installing amp weather or not it uses docker to containerize the servers.

Get a new NIC, I'm sure you have atleast 1 PCIe slot open, you can even repurpose an M.2 slot
Honestly motherboard NICs should be a backup rather than your primary.

>>108314689
The thing is...I have PCIe slots open but with the size of the 2 GPUs on this system, it really doesn't leave much room for additional cards. But I may be able to squeeze something inside with risers.
Regarding your last point, I actually wasn't aware of that practice. I've actually had NICs of all parts fail on me before like this, but looks like getting a PCIe NIC is the best solution. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you again.

Plex is self immolating slowly over time so I would like to swap to Jellyfin, has nice features anyway. But I can't access it from its app on TV or Phone all on LAN (haven't setup a reverse proxy for external yet). I can reach the WebUI, I can reach Plex on the same device. I can ping from it to my PC and the other way around and the gateway (proxmox host). Its running on TrueNAS in its built in Apps which is Docker and all that is in Proxmox, but there is a clear shot to it I'm fairly sure, since the UI can be accessed.

Anyone know wtf this could be?

I have never used raid, can someone explain how it works? Not the types, I mean if a drive fails, how does rebuilding work, is the raid reliant on the boot drive? Say a drive failed, and it was in like raid 5 and say the boot drive failed as well, would you use a specific program to repair it like you would gparted when trying to fix grub or is everything gone if the boot drive failed as well?
If you are in raid 1, can I just unplug both drives, put them in two different computers and both function as if they were just a normal drive, or is the raid software needed for the drives to be read?
I suppose I would be using Debian and Samba since I want to be able to use it as a desktop where it is located as well, does Debian have built in raid features, or would I need to use another piece of software (gui prefered), not set on Debian, just that it's teh default afaik.
Does the file system matter particularly?

>>108315845
Oh I forgot the context is it's a NAS I'm building out of 1TB drives I've pulled from various desktops.

The raid information is stored on the disks so you can transplant them into another computer and assemble the array.
I'm not sure if you could just plug in a raid 1 raid member and have it just work, but I bet you could assemble the raid in a degraded state and use it like that.
I don't know of any os that has full gui raid control outside of truenas, though there's probably a gui frontend for mdadm that'd do the trick. I would recommend trying to use mdadm (the linux raid utility), and samba from the command line. Find a guide. That's how I got started.
Some filesystems (zfs(basedbasedbased), and btrfs) are a filesystem and raid all in one and are their own beast to get into. If you're going to use debian just use mdadm and ext4.
Oh and mdadm should be included in debian, I've never been a debian guy, but every distrobution I've used has had it by default.

syncthing for backing up your data from your phone is an easy one. Just make sure to have a third backup offsite (laptop at a friends place or worst case a backup encrypted with rclone in the cloud so glowies cant see your data).
keepassxc/dx work amazingly with syncthing for password management
immich for organizing your photos
wireguard/tailscale for getting to your elfhosted services from outside your network (though syncthing will work without it)

>>108327907
I want the VPN for access to the printer and I heard good things about wireguard. The tailscale is the paid version, right? That won't please the elf.
I've used syncthing before but then I end up with files on my 'puter taking up space, I'd rather just store them on the server and just download what I need to access, what do I use for that?

>>108327968
Tailscale is just a program that makes wireguard easier and keeps you from needing to have ports open on your pc. It's free for personal use, but it does use corpo servers by default for coordinating the initial connection and NAT hole punching etc. You can use headscale instead though and use your own server, but that requires a vps. You can also just set up your own wireguard server on your home network.

There are specialized apps for accessing files over your network (like immich for photos, jellyfin for movies) but in general I've found that rclone is the best usecase for this. You can use it to mount remote folders on a billion protocols, from S3 storage to ssh/sftp to webdav. It also includes a server component if you don't want to rawdog your ssh login on your NAS just to get some files. You can mount them as a drive on linux, windows, and even android using rsaf: github.com/chenxiaolong/RSAF

It also has an encryption function that you can use to encrypt your data at rest on your server or for remote backups. This works with rclone mount too, so you can be mounting a folder on your NAS that is encrypted as if it were a drive on Linux/Windows or a storage space on Android

>>108328037
I'll get a dedicated pi 3 for this (should arrive tomorrow). I want to control all the hardware. So I need to figure out and setup:
>ssh
For controlling the pi, as it won't have a keyboard and screen for most of it's life. Over LAN, I've done this before. Never tried setting it up to access via the wider internet. How should I go about that?
>rclone
I used rsync to retrieve files manually before, should be similar, right? It also does the mounting itself, so no extra software for that, right? Also how does this compare to samba?
>wireguard
I'm kind of confused on how exactly this one works, but I wanna take the long route so I get to see the sights and learn the learnings.
Don't really care for android. I'm all on linux. Might be convenient once in a blue moon for it to work on wangblows but I won't bother much.

>>108328080
Samba is fine, it can just be janky sometimes. Rclone has a vfs and does caching which can help with flaky connections in my experience and makes sure that writes are more reliable

the workflow is
rclone config (there's a tui that will prompt you to set up a remote. sftp is there if you just want to access stuff on your pi for example).
so if you set it up as a remote named 'pi' then you can do
rclone mount pi:/ /mnt/pi --vfs-cache-mode=writes
and it would mount your pi on /mnt/pi. You can also do rclone mount pi:/home/ or whatever instead and it will mount just that folder.

As far as making ssh accessible from the outside internet: I wouldn't. Instead, make that pi your wireguard server and use that. You'll need to open up a port for that. Wireguard will be the only way into your network. Also note that if you have carrier grade NAT or something then I think wireguard might not work as well, and you might want something like a domain name if your ip changes frequently. Idk, I'll admit I'm lazy and just use tailscale and I'm kinda speaking out of my ass here though, but I've heard those are concerns

>>108328124
I never tracked the public IP over time either to know if it changes, I assume it does. That one I could set up a cronjob for I think.
I gotta got into the router and figure out how to make it give the same local IP to the pi always, right? I not sure I can access it, the ISP set it up and I never bothered messing with it.
What about docker? I might want to expand this at some point so I'm planning on using it, will it mess with the storage, as in rclone or something else not being able to access it?

>decide to allow radarr to upgrade all of my movies up to 4k remuxes, if available
>How bad could it be?
>Currently my 100tb capacity media pool is 91% full
>Library is only about 70% upgraded
Well that escalated quickly.

>>108328177
You can set a static ip on the pi. I'm not sure what network utility pi os uses. You can also set up an "address reservation" on the router. That'll reserve the ip for whatever mac address your pi has. Try going to 192.168.1.254 in your browser.

>>108328230
The default address of mine is different and I can't connect to it. Also tried via https and nothing. Pinging it returns nothing as well.
I think the ISP changed it and so they must've changed the login credentials as well. I'm gonna have to call them.

>>108328256
Have you found the webui for the router? Do your ip's look like 10.0.0.0?

>>108328290
It's 192.168 here. Router is supposed to be on 192.168.1.1 but isn't.
Must have been changed by the ISP.

>>108328310
Like. You could just check every address manually. It wont take more than a few minutes. Or you could factory reset the router to see if it shows up on the specified address.

>>108328326
I could try all the addresses but then I'd have to figure out the password. If they changed the address they most likely changed the password too.
I guess I'll just call them later.

Hey guys, I'm asking this here because idk where else to ask. I'm running jellyfin and qbit on my system and QBIT keeps saying one of my HDDs is mounted as 'read only'. There is a torrent that's downloading to the drive, but, there are two others that "Can't write to the disk, because read only". Force Rechecking the comes abruptly stops, too. I've done sudo mount -o remount, rw /dev/sdXN several times and the same scenario occurs. Is this disk dying?

>>108333363
Check the SMART values on it. If there's anything amiss, I'd shut it down ASAP.

If you have anything essential on the drive that isn't backed up, I'd try the freezer trick to copy off of it.

The only exception to this is if it's an external hard drive controller, sometimes those die before the hard drive. If it's internal though it ain't looking good though

Hi, are SMR hard drives really that bad? I can get a barracuda for not too much more than their normal MSRP and I'm not going to use it for anything other than NAS of larger files anyway. Only asking because I need to expand and CMR drives are going through the roof

I know the biggest problem with SMR is the theoretical issue of an error when writing or bad sectors affecting sectors surrounding the problem as well as the problem sector itself, so filesystem errors can cascade. in practice, how much is that, and is it really worth spending more for a CMR drive in this current economic state?

>>108335664
I have an SMR external nearly die with barely any use.
It's advertised as a "backup" and it couldn't even do that.

>>108335726
So go with the Western Digital instead of the Barracuda? I just need about 4-8TB.

>>108335493
huh, well glad it worked out. just remember to back up your data. if you're not backing up your data, *someone's* backing it up. it ain't you

You can use ZFS with LVM. Btrfs is not on RHEL. The main drawback with ZFS on Linux desktop is the lack of GUI management tools / DE integrations.

I'm not the anon who asked about Btrfs, but I do run RHEL with root on ZFS; the lack of Btrfs helped me go all-in on ZFS. Alma 10.1 reintroduced Btrfs, however.

A few years ago I think right after the wd smr debacle came out I bought 4x2tb smr wd reds for an old nas unit that previously had 4x1tb cmr wd blues. The reds failed within WEEKS. I sent them for rma and the new ones failed again in two or three months. I sent them back one more time and when they died AGAIN after another couple months I just gave up and threw them away and went back to the 1tb blues. Meanwhile I have a couple of drives that are more than 10 years old that I've used in nearly every computer I ever built and they still work perfectly to this very day.
So yes, they really are that bad.

how big of a problem is SMR for raid actually? seeing conflicting views. from what i understand it slows down transfer speeds after a certain breakpoint right? but ive also seen people say that it's just about how you set up your system.

>>108342391
It'll be slow for writes after some fill % but if you're just using it for media it wont be a real issue. The main reason people have such a hate boner for them is WD selling smr drives as cmr a few years back which created some big drama.

>>108342391
>why is the shit that constantly rewrites already written data bad when you add additional layers of complexity on top of it

is there an app I can self host that will give me recommendations for movies and shows? im trying to move from netflix to self hosting. me and my family scroll through netflix to find movies and shows to watch so I want to find a similar experience.
I already have jellyfin and its great but I also need a way to find movies just by scrolling through an app on my tv.
I already tried overseerr and it has a nice UI but its "recommendations" are just scraped from some api most likely TMDB and sort by trending, also doesnt seem to have an android tv client.

I think they're fine for raid1 or 10, but don't use raid5 or 6 on them or you'll have a lot of trouble, like >>108342492 said too they're best used for media archival or general "few write many read" data.
I would still suggest avoiding them and going for CMR drives so you don't have to constantly contemplate how you need to manage your data to cope with SMR insanity.

>>108348989
Docker is you define the things your service needs and you bundle it with the service. Now you can run, modify, update, and even move your service around to different machines easily.

Sharing 50 different pieces of your jenga tower of dependencies between different services isn't fun and there's no practical benefit to doing so.

anybody here familiar with Comcast cable internet and can tell me if this is normal?
I have 35Mbps internet and capped qbittorrent at 1.0MBps upload, but get constant, massive latency spikes like this. My favorite game is Path of Exile and it's basically unplayable if I have bittorrent running at the same time.
It's almost tolerable with the upload capped to 512KBps, and if I uncap it my connection is practically useless.
I've contact Comcast repeatedly, they even went so far as to replace the cable from my router all the way to the pole on my street, I've tried different modems, no change.

Is DVD rot just another fucking nothingburger that zoomers made out to be the end of the world post hoc?

>>108349788

>sir
Excuse me? That's a lady.

>>108349788
is it so wrong to vibe code if you don't know how to program?

>>108350082
Noone gives a fuck if you vibe code shit for yourself. Any nigger who says they do is a retard.

The probem is when faggots start vibe coding some bullshit together and then present it to the public to use and expect people to use it. Those projects get abandoned in less than a month because their cuck "developers" can't be bother to learn how to code properly so they give up completely

the problem is also 80% of those aren't really networking related in any way, it's just aesthetics grifter core like dashboards homepages diagrams and such.
would be cool if i see a vibecoded ssh alternative or something like that, even if it sounds beyond stupid.
instead it's just
>hey how about front end for X Y Z, but now with oversized emojis and email alerts, pls give me feedback
no, nobody asked for it

The inverse of that.
