READ 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.

I set up Yamtrack tracker integration with Jellyfin.
Now when I finish watching any of my backlogged Movie/TV show it will change its status from "planning" to "complete" in Yamtrack. Previously I used Nextcloud tasks to keep track on movies and was manually adding them and marking them as watched.
I've also migrated my games tracking from HLTB to Yamtrack with about 330 entries.

You could just generate a dozen thumbnails from every video file instead of playing each one, then you delete it based on the thumbnails.
>>
>>108953863
I've only had 2 die, and both took nearly a decade of 24/7 torrenting abuse. They were also external drives, so no real cooling.
>>
>>108952630
>the room gets so cold now that im freezing even with it set to like 78 F
then get a thermostat that actually cuts off power to the unit when it gets cold enough, the built in one sounds like it has a minimum threshold set way too high for your needs. you will lose overall efficiency from the short running times and you will have waves of warm and cold instead of a consistent cool temperature, but at least you will have the final say as to when the room gets cold enough.

or, like the other anon said, just get something that fits the spec.
>>
>>108953937
That would work but I would still have to go in and delete them individually from the file browser. If the program generated the thumbnails and let me delete the corresponding file from the image viewer then I would be in business.

I might just have to delete files using stash it will probably be a little bit better than what im doing currently

flint 3 or wait for the 4, or something else with wifi 7?
>>
>>108951384
I think a lot of them bought into a "tech guy" identity but never really developed the skills to actually make the most of that. There was a period where being a tech guy meant buying "gadgets", and you didn't really have to know much about programming or read any documentation to use them, except maybe carry out some arcane button or software invocation in the user manual once at the beginning.
They still hold onto that identity, but technology has largely become more general purpose and more user-customizable, but they aren't actually very good at that, so they use these premade solutions that trigger the "exchanged money for technology" feeling that they associate with their identity.
It's very strange to me. It feels like you go to most selfhosting or homeserver online places and most of the users can't even tie their shoes, let alone tell you anything about how a computer works, but they can list off the specs religiously. They don't know what those specs are for really, but they know they're "better".
They might be able to muddle through a guide, but they don't actually know what any of it does. It's like those arcane invocations they remember from way back when.

Idk probably stop being poor and get drives of the same capacity. Or maybe just take the capacity hit and make the partitions the size of the smallest drive. You can just create another partition with the remaining space on that disk/s and still use it.

*Qualcomm. Because it's cheaper, which is a classic Chinese bait and switch after developing brand recognition.

wow, i can't believe mods deleted the picture, what puritans

>>108948074
OPNsense is pretty nice, although Unbound on it ran like crap for me (really slow resolution speeds with blocklists installed).

After setting up a separate VM with Technitium DNS server on the same Proxmox cluster, performance is so much better, even with just using it with plain forwarder! recommended to everyone
>>
>>108957308
It's a really solid router, if you can use an Intel NIC. You really need to do a lot of trial and error to get it working and have a deep understanding of networking, but it's a fun experience if you like tinkering and slowly getting your projects up and running from the ground up.

As I said on my previous message though, Unbound in my opinion is not as good as a DNS server as Technitium. I'd use both in conjuntion for the best results.

I hate systemd
The fstab generator generates broken units if you include the _netdev option when the filesystem type implicitly causes a dependency on network-online.target (ex. 9p)
This causes circular dependencies which it then arbitrarily starts pruning, causing things to randomly break
Instead of just realizing "oh hmm I declared this unit as requiring the network to come up before mounting, perhaps I can drop this mount option"
Why the fuck do they even recommend /etc/fstab, when their guidance for programmatically generating mounts is to just fall back to manually defining units anyway

>vlans are a very nice tool as well
This, VLANS are nice. I don't even trust my switches that i put my trusted things on, so their management vlan literally can't do anything in case they have chink spyware on them. VLANS are also nice in general for seperation, I use vlans and software switches to join both wireless and wired devices under the same networks and DHCP server. I have a software switch that encompases trusted wired and wireless devices, and untrusted wired and wireless devices; because why should my Roombas that only require limited reachablity to the world (mostly AWS) be granted the ability to reach my desktop or private servers.
>>108949745
>drops to every room
This. And my guest bedrooms dont need to reach all of my services so vlans and physical separation are necessary. The primary DNS is my AdGuardHome server and they can reach that but only ports relevant to DNS. When someone visits, its really nice when they say "I notice i get way less ads when im visiting you" which has only been said like, twice but i don't get many visitors

The longest i've ever had a HDD live was about a decade, but it was PATA IDE, so its possible that it was "new" as in never used but old stock (i cant confirm this but who the hell makes brand new PATA drives). It was in no way stressed from constant use, but the opposite, possibly stress due to time and not being used.
I have some 8tb seagate HDDs that operate alone that i'd like to replace with RAID but prices are too expensive at the moment. They've only been operating for about 4 years now so its nice to see other people beating the hell out of their seagates for more than twice the length of time without failure.

>I would also guess you became proficient recently, because such a thing bothers you. It does not bother me. I just know some people are better at things I suck at. And vice versa.

>lowering the level of discourse in ostensibly technical spaces
NTA, although I agree that the quality of many posts aren't great, there are still more obscure threads on Level1Tech, ServeTheHome and some TechPowerUp that have value. Mock me all you want for seeing value in the aforementioned.
I think the primary issue is that offering up genuinely useful information in a coherent format, is quite thankless as a start, since you often have little gauge on the usefulness or the reach of your information. When there is one random user makes a write up or posts a video about something that no one else did, I appreciate the value and understated effort of that act. It's easy to feel disheartened by congregations of relatively thoughtless users, but I don't think we're completely lost. I also think, perhaps, that it's not entirely a bad thing that most people fucking suck at thinking for themself kek. Things being incidentally gatekept through obscurity or complexity is not a bad thing. Informational asymmetry is pretty good in life broadly, not everyone needs to know the shit you know or think the way you think frankly.

Idk, normally I wouldn't bother authenticity-posting but I guess I'm trying to spread some positivity on something I relate to. Thanks for attending my Ted talk.
