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.

An actual NAS is going to have redundancy. There's nothing wrong with just using a single disk as long as you aren't putting important files on it (or if you also back those up to a third location).
If you're just putting media for watching/listening then who cares as long as its performative.

Recently upgraded the rack to a real system after moving. Have a JBOD shelf and a dedicated 2 cpu system with prox doing everything that I used to do on a zima 832. (Jellyfin, TrueNAS, etc)

I'm trying to think of a good use for the zima now, but being a 1Gb setup it would be the slowest part of my network now.
What would be a service that I may want to use on this tiny board vs just spinning another VM?
Outside low power draw I can't think of a benefit.

Id say the most overpriced thing is the DAS but its the most decent 3.5' HDD enclosure with an eSATA port to i guess i am eating the tariffs for a good product.
Actually thats why i was asking for info if there were better brands for DAS enclosures.
>>
>>109102104
For non-rack mounted DAS you can probably just cut some sheetmetal and then mount drives on it to connect to your PCI-E card. Power wise just grab it off your PSU too. That's the true 3rd world setup.
You can't get much easier than eSATA.

I keep a directory tree and an expanded filename tree with checksums of everything in my collection up to date which I back up to several locations, rather than backing up the files themselves.

mostly done but i have a few stacks that are not running but need to be copied over.
also trying my hand at reverse proxying with npm and trying out lets encrypt stuff.
am also into alternative download methods to media. i dont relly like torrenting or usenet.
botarr for example is for downloading movies and tv shows from irc.

I have a different type of content I want to keep separate

I've got games on steam, pirated games I run through umu/heretic, emulated games I run from ryujinx/es-de, and retro games on my battlexp linux handheld. Keeping track of what I have and where I can run it from is kind of a hassle.
I'm looking for a way to selfhost a game manager. Something I can put in new game torrent requests like radarr but it also tracks what device can run the game and maybe some kind of cloud saving system. I looked into romm but I don't think it does steam games. Does something like that exist but also works for pc games?
>>
>>109114359

>>
>>109114359
sounds complicated for the sake of making things complicated. just store the roms and saves on a nas

>>
>>109114712
ok so you want a rom downloader for new rom releases? otherwise I don’t see your point for Jellyfin unless you’re wanting to stream the game from a graphics capable server in which case that’s not even remotely similar to Jellyfin
>>
>>109114747
I want a centralized place to see all my games across all systems. I have a bunch in steam, some on GOG, some pirated without a launcher, some are psp games, switch games, gba, atari, etc. Sometimes I see a video or hear a recommendation for a new game and I'd like to go to my centralized game library and request it to be added, like how I can request new movie downloads in radarr and it manages the download and storage location. Similar to jellyfin I'd like playtime, saves, favorites, etc to be tracked and centralized to a user account.
Romm does like 99% of this but doesn't do pc games. I was just looking if someone else made a similar program with pc games included.
I could just fork it and try vibecoding pc support I guess.
