wow. that thing is old as fuck. i just move from one office pc to another when i find a good deal. current one has an 9th gen i7 and 32gb ddr4. i'm happy with it.

>>109356362
and that's my problem lol, my shit just works. I've yet to find a problem
>>109356367
it was old when I bought it back in 2015 on eBay. I can easily get a new system but its not server stuff. Non Server motherboard, no ECC RAM, tiny bit of PCIe lanes, etc. I was going to possibly buy used again. There's EPYC 7742 (64c128t) and supermicro bundles on eBay for $1200. Maybe another $1200 on 256GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM 3200MHz kits. Figure with that RAM amount and newer CPU architecture, I'd get another 10 years out of it.

I may not NEED more server power right now, but I'd like to have newer standards and what not. I feel like getting used enterprise hardware isn't as easy as it once was.

>>109356347
keep it for storage and buy a new one if you need compute power

>>109356451
i used to run x58 on my desktop with a 950 and then an a few years later x5675. i ran it overclocked at 4.5ghz. i actually bought two and picked the better one. sold it like five years ago when i upgraded to ryzen but i wish i kept it.
>getting used enterprise hardware isn't as easy as it once was
every one wants cheap ai and many cores and ram. cheap chink adapters exist for basically everything now so a server isn't really a problem for consumer hardware anymore too. friend of mine build himself recently an older zen 2 epic system. apart from the ram and socket itself ping a bit iffy it was easy to setup for him. he runs local ai on it now and game servers.

>>109356481
Guess I'll just run this bitch until it blows up or physically can't do what I want I guess. I used it 99% of the time for NAS purposes, samba shares, occasionally fire up a VM to host a game server.
>>109356482
I'm running my dual X5690s stock and I noticed there are indeed adapters for everything. I'd say the only thing I want a newer server is the ability to run an NVME SSD as a scratch disk when I'm moving a lot of files.

Guess I'll look around and think about it but now that I'm looking, $2500+ for a new setup (half of that is RAM alone) is a lot more HDD space or SSD space I could be adding to my existing server.

>>109356451

It's definitely not rendering in the browser. Why would you even think that?

good question, it might look like server emulation but it bugs that it brings up wayland when it should be out of scope given you access it via the browser

You're not taking into consideration the additional overhead of processing and receiving/sending the input, plus it's not the bandwidth that matters as much as the latency

Not the other guy but is it feasible to game in a VM? Potentially using a workstation GPU instead of a gaming GPU? I'm guessing drivers might be an issue
And would you have to pass through the whole GPU and reserve it exclusively for that VM, or can you provision virtual GPUs for different VMs (in Proxmox I suppose)?

No.

>And would you have to pass through the whole GPU and reserve it exclusively for that VM, or can you provision virtual GPUs for different VMs (in Proxmox I suppose)?
Depends on the card, if it supports SR-IOV you can provision virtual GPU's. Only server-grade cards support this. It can be done with a gaming GPU as well but the whole cards has to be passed through

I'll be traveling and will be taking my laptop with me and want you take my 36TB media pool (btrfs raid0) I use to seed and run a jellyfin server. Is the OWC ThunderBay 4 a good product to get and would it unintentionally format drives if I were to take them out of my desktop, put them into the bay and connect to my LinuxOS laptop? would I have you format it, or would it allow for plug n play JBOD?

Which do you prefer for routing/firewall, pfsense or openwrt?

>>109376296
True, but it's only 10-12 years old while my current hardware is about 6. Hell, I used to run the same exact server on fuckin bulldozer hardware before I decommed my gaming build. What would you suggest that is more recent but still affordable? Not looking to spend a shit ton of money especially when I'm just wanting to do it for the fun of it. And yeah I don't NEED all of those lanes per se, but I do want to add a few more things like an old quadro for transcode, my current gpu for remote gaming, possibly optical and some other shit I simply cannot physically fit on my current board despite technically having enough lanes.

Question, I'm trying to get into private trackers, and it's telling me to get a seedbox for the basic tracker invites.

Anyway, how exactly do you transfer stuff from your seedbox? Or are you meant to just use sftp? Because that seems shit

I can't fathom how you would go through a single terabyte of media while travelling unless you were going to be gone for like half a year straight and you planned on staying in your hotel room for most of that.

For argument's sake no, these random chingchongium DAS units are not going to randomly format your drives. If they come with hardware switches just make sure to read the manual and leave everything off. It should just be pnp, and JBOD is probably the least retarded way to approach this because you don't want to hardware RAID over an already software RAIDed pool.

>>109376457
I use it. I think others here do too. I use it+snapraid and btrfs on bare drives (makes backups and snapraid a bit faster due to snapshots, and you get the individual benefits of btrfs per drive). I also use a directory on my ssd as a "cache" for writes.
>>109376474
As far as I know LVM isn’t really comparable. It pools storage at the block-device layer, so the member disks do not remain independently mountable filesystems. LVM RAID provides conventional realtime RAID, but it does not reproduce mergerfs + SnapRAID’s independent disks, file-level hashing, delayed snapshot parity, or undelete behavior. It’s a different design with conventional RAID tradeoffs and benefits, not a different implementation of the same features.

>independently mountable filesystems
correct, you make a logical volume and pin it to a specific disk or any number of disks for more copies or any levels of raid that apply. it’s just an abstraction and you can salvage it as long as a copy exists on a working disk. lets you have a bunch of disks and you can choose what level of raid (or not) for each type of data, and if you want those copies striped or mirrored. very flexible but not user friendly.

I agree, but if I have to get it to get the basic shit invite to torrent leech or whatever, I might as well use it for the month I have it. I was just curious in general if there's a decent way to transfer files from it

>>109376697
Torrentleech has open signups, can't you just wait?
Never used one myself but yes I think some use SFTP. You could also use wireguard/tailscale/headscale.

That’s a good use of lvm, but it’s still a different topology if I understand correctly. If I pin one LV and filesystem to each disk, lvm does not combine them into one namespace, so I would still need mergerfs then or something similar. If I create an lvm raid LV across the disks, it becomes conventional block device RAID and loses snapraid’s independently mountable filesystems, file hashing, delayed snapshot parity, and undelete behavior. lvm is flexible, but it isn’t a drop-in replacement for what I use.

To be more clear, wireguard/tailscale/headscale to connect as if it were local, and then smb, nfs, whatever you want to connect to the actual filesystem, as long as it doesn't get affected by high latency too much.

I have no experience with those but I wouldn't do a wireless one at least, and it doesn't seem like there's any actual KVM.

It's local access only by default but you can add their cloud if you wish. All the software and firmware are open source. It does do NTP and update checks by default externally but you can restrict that if you wish. The hardware is also not open source. Pikvm isn't completely hardware open source and DIY either but it's a lot closer.

depends, the ones i was using had 120mm fans inside to cool the hdds BUT 80mm fans to extract the air from the case.
never had any issues having like 15 drives in it so ymmv

>>109378086
I'd consider 120 mm small and shitty for something as big as 4U. I'd much rather run something like a Fractal Define with 140 mm fans at home.

>>109371997

you know you want to
t. anon who runs literally everything in mirrors

>>109378097
they usually have like 2-3 120mm fans in front, then another 3 120mm fans inside to help move air then 2x 80mm fans in the back.

decided to protect my docker containers put running them all behind a socket proxy instead of allowing direct access to the socket. should've been did this. i dont really have any public facing containers though so it feels a bit pointless, but im doing it anyway

so what's up with atx cases not coming with HDD bays

fractal define r5 looks like the last case to ever offer such a thing.

There is nothing good on fb marketplace in my city atm

also, paying more than $120 cad on a case seems plain wrong.

>>109378220
Just use podman

>>109379294
any container that mounts '/var/run/docker.sock' has full access to your host. if it's compromised, they can do anything they want. a socket proxy puts the container behind the socket so it can't do that. of course, the container still needs to be publicly accessible too

Then there's dedicated NAS cases like the Jonsbo N5, which has 12 HDD slots on backplanes.

Thoughts on Sync-in? (Alternative to Nextcloud).

https://sync-in.com/

Was proprietary for the past 10 years before going FOSS in 2025

>Sync-in is a French , sovereign, open-source collaborative platform for file storage, sharing, synchronization, and collaboration. It is intended for individuals, businesses, public-sector entities, and institutions seeking a controlled, scalable platform aligned with their operational requirements.

>Our ambition is to contribute to the self-hosting ecosystem with a collaborative platform built on a different architecture, designed to prioritize performance, simple deployment and administration, while giving users lasting control over their data.

>Sync-in has been developed for more than ten years by its founder and engineer Johan Legrand (LinkedIn).

>Over time, the solution has evolved with the support and feedback of several companies, shaped by concrete needs around storage, sharing, synchronization, and administration. Its development is also supported by a team including Thibault Signor and Alex Zalo.

>Sync-in has been published as open source on GitHub since 2025 and is now used by individuals, companies, and public-sector organizations. The solution continues to evolve with a focus on being useful, responsible, and community-driven.

>Rather than building Sync-in on an existing architecture, we chose to start from a blank slate. This approach allowed us to design a platform where storage remains under the user's control, files remain directly readable and usable on the file system, and access rules are applied consistently regardless of the access method: web interface, WebDAV, synchronization, collaborative editing, or API.

>This architecture prioritizes performance for file operations, limits unnecessary data duplication, simplifies deployments, and provides stronger data reversibility..

Feasibly, his many of these things can I reasonably accomplish on one old laptop or workstation? I have a big 100 port switch at home so ports are no problem, but I wonder how many machines I'm going to automate for my goals.
More a side tangent, I'm contemplating also wanting to run my own self hosted location tracking system for my family, considering Foss options for that like Grid and not Life360 or Apple location sharing, if anyone has any 2 cent to share about that.

>>109393041
making a router requires ethernet ports so a laptop wouldn't be advised, an old workstation with an intel iGPU (for jellyfin) can do all of this though. just know it'll be a single point of failure, I like to keep my router/networking separate from the VMs.

>>109393041
This >>109393080
Reasonably you should split your devices based on their importance. The most common approach is: independent router + app server

>>109393080
>I like to keep my router/networking separate from the VMs.
I used to run my DNS on my home server, but it was pretty fucking annoying when updating my server also meant that I couldn't use the Internet without changing my DNS servers.

These days I just let my router do DNS.

>>109393080
oh, right, even if I have one rj45 port I suppose I still need another for outgoing traffic, huh?
silly question, is the jellyfin machine actually playing the media? I thought I'd just be sending the data to the device that would be actually processing the graphics of playback. Didn't think I'd need to be concerned about graphics or a GPU in that machine, thought it was going to be a headless Linux thing.

>>109393168
it can, but then it’s no different than a file server in a browser ui
It can also transcode for devices that either can’t play the file or don’t have the bandwidth to stream the file. that’s why you need the graphics abilities, to transcode if needed

>>109393168
>I have one rj45 port I suppose I still need another for outgoing traffic, huh?
you can make it work with VLANs on the switch trunked to the router but depending on your WAN bandwidth/need for multiple VLANs it might not be a good idea since you wont get full line bandwidth between networks

>>109393230
>>109393267
ooh, theae are really good points. Thank you.

>>109392902
Yeah the i5 was at 7 ish for me. When I got the i7 it doubled.

I want to learn networking, what are some beginner projects I could do? I have a spare laptop I could use as a server. I could also buy an old xeon workstation if that could be useful (I also have 2 xp era PCs laying around but I'd need to move them to my apartment from my old folk's place)

>>109394570
build your own router with that laptop, you'd need to learn VLAN's in order to achieve it

>>109394603
I'll try it but what's the use case? Is this something I do just so I can learn how to do it or do I get some benefits?

>>109394636
surprisingly an old craptop gives just as good if not better data transfers than anything Cox gives you

>>109394636
Well this is where your deep fall into the networking abyss begins. For instance VLAN's are super helpful in segregating networks and routing without the need of an extra NIC. Then, by making your laptop a router with a powerful OS you can do so much more like bandwidth limitation, QoS, captive portals, adblocking, VPN access to your network from the outside, DNS names for all your pcs, you name it

>>109394662
Thanks, this sounds like something I should do later on, when I end up building something resembling a network. Currently all I have that connects to the internet is my main PC, phone and a smart TV. It seems really overkill for my current setup

>>109394700
sure, you asked what are the benefits, those are, as for the network, well, you really won't get anything else besides what you currently have since your network is automagically managed by your router

>>109390320

Just got a 9070XT about 2 weeks ago, been fighting it ever since. Had a regular 9070 (same brand/design) in this machine about 4 months ago before side-grading to a nvidia card, but this thing just constantly fucking reboots the whole server. i'm thinking the card's bad but apparently everyone is having similar issues with these XTs. Windows just straight reboots without throwing any ILO errors, a fedora install finally threw these. Thoughs?

When a motherboard says it does not support udimm/unbuffered dimm does that mean that plain consumer ram will not work, or is it referring to unbuffered ecc ram or something?

>>109399096
ecc can be registered or unregistered (unbuffered)
both are not consumer ram

you didn’t say anything about the memory that it does accept, but the fact that it’s calling out unbuffered as NOT working, my guess is that you need registered ecc
Unless it’s am4 or something that CAN work with unbuffered but not registered OR non-ecc memory and it’s calling out that it can not actually work with ecc
