>how to run cat on windows server

Am I paranoid for wanting more case fans in my node 304 to cool my 3 HDD?

my server runs windows 10 and will never need anything else

>>105903834
Are they even getting hot in the first place?

anyone know how to get file system notificaitons /watching working with docker and smb?

so i have a docker host.
ive mounted an smb share to /mnt/media with full read and write access.
it works for things like jellyfin if i pass it over in the docker compose file and it can find all the files and even change them. however any sort of file watching does not seem to work.
the smb host is a truenas server.

ive seen people having a similar setup have it work.
what am i doing wrong or am i overlooking something?

I want to install syncthing on my freenas server, but my version (11.2-U8) is out of support. What are my options to install it? I don't have enough storage to backup my server and do a fresh install, and I don't have the time or the patience to try upgrading it. And at this point I even doubt upgrading is even possible without breaking everything.

I tried looking for package archives but I am not familiar enough with freebsd's package manager to get it to work. Also PKG is apparently not even installed and since it is too old, I can't even get it to bootstrap either.

>>105904142
No but my HVAC shut down and my house was at 85°F
-95°F for several days and I don't want to lose my drives in those situations

>>105900917
>>105901021
what anon probably meant was that your NIC driver coming up as libvirt suggests you're running truenas in a vm and you're letting your hypervisor fuck with the NIC instead of passing it through entirely.

i had (still have) a similar issue, where i swapped the motherboards of my esxi truenas server and a windows machine and now they completely refuse to talk to one another via ethernet. wireshark shows that ARP requests point back to the same NIC that's making the request. this also happens even if i change the IP address. i'm guessing it's some kind of persistent MAC mapping on the vswitch, but i've not been able to figure out how to flush it. it's been like this for like a year, so it sure as fuck isn't flushing itself anytime soon.

>>105904913
>i'm guessing it's some kind of persistent MAC mapping on the vswitch, but i've not been able to figure out how to flush it
okay gippity just walked me through it, it was a case of removing and re-adding the vmk0 interface and the mac address regenerated itself. wowee.

anyone got to the stage of using authentication providers like keycloak yet?
anyone got anything good to say about authelia? i like the one binary go-style approach

I'm thinking of migrating my home server from proxmox to nixos.
I'm thinking proxmox does too much and I'm much more confortable restoring stuff if they are declared in plain text files rather than those million features proxmox offers I dont use
Does anyone have a nix home server or sees a pitfall with this?

>>105904904
That's not even that hot.
Check SMART to see their highest temperature and if it's below their max recommended operating temperature (usually 60-65ºC) then I wouldn't worry about it.

>>105903834
what are their temps?
hdd's like it toasty rather than too cold.
30-50 is fine, 60 is better than 25.

Whenever I transfer lots of data (like hundreds of gigs in one go) via SMB my TrueNAS web UI shits itself and just goes "Waiting for Active TrueNAS controller to come up..."
If I wait sometimes it loads up fine and I can log in but then it fails to load things like the datasets page or dashboard or simply loads incredibly slow.
The SMB transfers keep working without error but are slower than I would have expected. Like 40MB/s slow. None of the disks are SMR and no errors. Eventually when the SMB transfers are done the UI loads fast and is responsive again.

I don't like that I can't manage the server during prolonged SMB transfers.
Is there a way to adjust priorities on the server to make the management slow SMB down enough if needed to ensure that I can always use the web UI?

I have a newer server that performs much better and doesn't have these issue but I would like to keep using this for a backup without upgrading if I don't have to. The old setup is 8GB with a Pentium G4400. No VMs, using RAIDZ1 with encrypted dataset without compression or any dedup.

When it comes to NAS, is it better to have a dedicated machine for it and mount it on worker machines? Or can I just roll it in with the same machine that'll be hosting all my services?
Also, since it'll be on 24/7 is it smarter to go for one of those low power N100 boards you see on Chinese sites?

is this big brained?

I've got HDDs of varying sizes (14TB, 24TB, 28TB) so I created a python script that partitions each one in 2TB increments, then creates a raid 5 from one parition from one disk each

then merging the various raid 5 arrays into a single Volume Group > Logical Volume > Filesystem (like how synology does it)

this allows me to grow each array flexably in the future if I was to add any hard drive size

It more complexity but beats the limitations of trueNAS and drawbacks of UNRAID and SHR

>>105907208
How do you plan to cope with failures?
An actual big brain move would be just upgrading everything to 28TBs and cutting down on the config complexity because this looks like a nightmare, whether it works or not.

>>105907418
I would need to replace the failed hard drive with a same sized one or bigger

set all paritions in this disk as failed whereever they are in my arrays
then as usual python script that partitions each one in 2TB increments then add it to the array > resync affected array

>>105907466
Have you tested this yet?
Physically pulled or wiped a drive, and recovered?

>>105907713
I'll test it whenever that time comes

Can anybody recommend a good, inexpensive switch that can do PoE and PoE+?
>PoE for cams
>PoE+ for a couple of Mercury LP and MR boards
The access control stuff is for work. So I could expense the PoE switch, but I think I want to just pay out of pocket for the switch and use it for home stuff.
Couple of key items:
>fanless, don't want to get complaints from Kitchen-6 about noise

>>105903963
I'm a beginner to ARM SBCs but the Radxa Rock 5C has been a much better experience than the Raspberry Pi 5 for me. I got the Rock first, then the Pi just because everyone talked about compatibility, but my experience has been overall better with the Rock 5C.

It is true that the Rock has less OS images for it, but Armbian has an image for it so I installed it on the Rock (instead of the official image) and everything just werks; it's aarch64 and the Armbian team seems active. It's also fairly faster than the Pi while using less power (2.8W vs the Pi5's 3.5W), it has a Pi 5 compatible PCIe interface (using it with an SSD base) while also being compatible with Pi 4 PoE hats (the Pi 5 changed the location of the PoE pins for some reason so there are very few hats compatible with the Pi 5 as opposed to the 4). The Pi 5 also uses like 3W while off (!) and you have to rewrite the EEPROM to change that behavior. The 40-pin GPIO is also fully compatible (using it for a small OLED screen myself).

This might change in the future and it's just my experience but I've been running Docker on both for 5 months and from a buyer's perspective I'm more satisfied with the Rock while the Pi just made me feel buyer's remorse. Can't talk about durability though, time will tell that.

>>105907208
Congratulations anon, you invented ZFS AnyRaid/SHR/3PAR CPG raid
The idea is sound, I REALLY want AnyRAID to take off because I've had an autism boner for 3PAR's CPG raid for years.

>>105908525
PoE+ switches usually come with basic PoE under the same PoE+ port.

Just get a refurbished, out of support cisco switch from ebay and they will run you about 50 to 100$

>>105904024
Are you using the IoT version?

help a retard out, how do people set up automatic torrents again? i've heard of all the *arr programs before but don't have a clue on how that integrates with a media server like jellyfin.
also semirelated, what's the normie movie equivalent of nyaa? i only ever watch weeb shit so i'm genuinely out of touch for other stuff.

>>105909307
I just set up transmission server and put the output of it to a HDD mounted folder that jellyfin had access to

>nyaa
not really informed of it

>>105909307
You configure some sites for the arr program to search, point it to your torrent program, add a movie/show and let it auto scan for torrents that fit your quality/size definitions. Once it finds a matching torrent it sends the magnet link to your torrent program to download. You can have it move the download to your jellyfin folder when it's done or hardlink it instead so you can keep seeding after download. It also auto renames the file and makes a folder structure jellyfin can easily parse.
I have 1337, kickasstorrents, rutracker, tpb and rarbg configured but I haven't touched it in a long time, they all just werk. Rarbg went down at some point and I pointed it to one of the mirrors but I doubt it's very active.
I'll be honest it's a lot of work getting arrs automated. If you torrent a lot it's worth it but if you're just grabbing a movie or so a week just torrent the normal way.

I have a terabyte of memory in my server and I still end up using my workstation for tasks that need raw memory capacity. It has maybe a 10th of the capacity.

>>105903758 (OP)
hallo /hsg/ I've been on a good run with my home server... I have immich, frigate, my "whole" jellyfinn stack (sonarr, radarr, qbittorrent, prowlarr, jellyseer and jellyfinn ofc), dockge and most recently, homepage. I love it. My only issue is my network is lacking, and I hate Deco interface and app so so much. I feel it's just the worst UI and their mesh is so buggy, specially when you try to use all of its features: guest/iot network, QoS, etc. it's just slow and needs to refresh like 10 times for it to show the actual information.

Tldr, can someone please recommend a decent switch to me? L2 vs L3? I'm curious what someone else is running here.

>>105910406
sorry meant switch and router, not just switch

>>105910412
Build a router out of an old desktop or mini pc. OPNSense and a couple ethernet ports can do anything you'd want out of a router/firewall.
I'm not totally up to date on switches but I bought a Brocade ICX7150 years ago that I setup and never bothered to mess with it after. You could probably find a newer one for the same price.

>>105910100
sell your workstation buy a thin client and force yourself to use your server remotely

preparing a LAN for my future homelab servers by using another router. what's the basic stuff to take care of to not bring down my main network? so far all i can think of is to disable DHCP and assign everything manually and block all incoming traffic except 80 and 443 in the firewall to start.

>>105910034
>rarbg
isn't it actually dead?

>>105910034
>rarbg
uhh, can i get one of those mirrors?

>>105909011
yes

>>105910952
Good to know. I got a spare PC and sometimes setting shit up with Linux is more than I care about when all I want to do is share the drive with a Windows machine. So I might just throw W10 IoT on it.

>>105905274
>authelia
I rather like Authelia and have been running it for 6 or 7 years now. My infra is all docker-based and have Traefik configured so everything redirects to my Authelia setup for auth, which then reads from my LDAP. It doesn't have a whole lot in the way of features (I think OIDC is usable but still WIP at this point?) but that's part of the appeal to me, it's not cumbersome and pretty much does exactly what I need it to do. Keycloak seems way too heavy for my homelab, as does Authentik even though they're both more featureful. Also, something kinda concerns me with how fast Authentik popped up basically out of nowhere.

I am a beginner to home servers and I am currently using YunoHost to run samba and jellyfin. I sort of want to explore further and learn more but I feel like YH is a bit limiting and boring. What other server OS are there to gain more experience in this field?

>>105903758 (OP)
Anyone have a script or something I can use for downloading my music from Youtube music.

>>105911627
>4x1tb nvme

>>105904913
>you're running truenas in a vm
Nope bare metal

>>105905871
I have similar problems when moving either 10k's of small files or very large files on smb with win10, the transfer progress will eventually stall and sometimes the webui can slow, but usually it works fine other than the pools and datasets page and eventually the transfers will pick back up and then go on until they finish without issue. Idfk why but I assume it's some overhead bullshit with smb combined with typical windows fuckery because I have a 5800x, 64gb ram and 10x8tb sas drives in z3 so resources and disk speed are not a problem.

>>105903834
im running two case fans in my fractal define r5 blackout and 8 hdds
disks and cpu only 10-20C over ambient depending on load

>>105910970
why not Server edition? it's unironically lighter

>>105911875
My newer server has a 9600X and 64GB and a 4x20 Z1 with compression (which weak server is uncompressed due to weak CPU) and same encryption and is always quick to respond, has MTU of 1500.
I read that SMB is single-threaded but I don't see why that would stop the webUI from loading or functioning properly with only one big client reading data in bulk. I figured maybe it's the dual core to blame but a 5800X also showing the same problems seems crazy to me.

Are you experiencing your slowness when running other stuff on the server or are you just running it as a NAS without VMs/etc? I thought about dropping in an i7-7700 and upgrading the RAM on the old system but stories like yours make me think that might just be a futile effort.

>>105912292
Switch and client are set to 9000, unsure if the weak server is configured to 9000 but the newer one I forgot to change and is set to 1500 but doesn't have the issue.

Still waiting for a big transfer to complete before I can really access the web UI but I've got another (prepping/verifying backups), so can test again maybe tomorrow.
Are you implying that the MTU size should be bigger or smaller in this case? Or something else entirely?

can you run anything interesting on arm or is it power eating reddit machine

>>105913323
mtu needs to be configured on everything in path. if you're crossing segments you need to configure not only L2 mtu but L3 mtu. you cant have jumbo frames configured on the traffic origination point and not at the receiving point or the path will be degraded and packets will fragment, leading to the packet buffer being filled as the device with the mtu difference has to mediate the traffic flow, which results in the type of behavior you are seeing. you can check the path by pinging from your client to the server with a smaller mtu size and the df bit set. if your pings fail you have an mtu issue onpath.

>>105913336
Clustering stuff but price not worth it

I need some input.
I'm running a Lenovo Tiny with a 4th gen i3 running Proxmox and a Microserver Gen8 running unraid with 4 drives.
I'm quite happy with the tiny with proxmox, The microserver is doing it's job but I'd like something more efficient. It runs very warm and chugs a nice bit of power. I'm also not super happy with Unraid, and would like to try TrueNAS, but the difficulty of extending the pools in ZFS is a drawback because the possibility of slowsly replacing disks with larger capacity ones is appealing.

Any low power nas hardware you guys recommned? I?m only using it for storage and download clients, all the other applications are running on proxmox

>>105913656
Get a N100/150 motherboard from Aliexpress or a mini PC.

>>105913718
I was also looking at the n100/150 for a home server. Or should I spent a bit more for an i3 of gen 11+?

>>105913831

>>105913847
Must be 11th gen or up, because of quick sync for jellyfin

>>105913876
you specifically need AV1 and 12bit VP9?

>>105913908
Av1 is getting used more frequently, so I think it is better to have it for in the future

>>105913985
oh i see
what would be your budget for this contraption?

/g/entoomen, niggle me this:

I've installed the emby theater flatpak on gentoo and everything seems to work, but strangely I drop a shitload of frames while streaming 4k content (direct play). No difference between hardware and software decode (beefy rig, shouldn't matter). My network connection is not the issue; how should I go about troubleshooting the cause?

>>105914074
btw I'm running wayland only, not sure if that matters

>>105914006
Don't really have a budget in mind. Saw the n100/150 and some i3/i5 mini pcs going for 150-250€ so around that for the pc itsefl

>>105913323
>Are you experiencing your slowness when running other stuff on the server or are you just running it as a NAS without VMs/etc?
It's 90% a nas with a handful of applications like jellyfin, syncthing and tailscale, so nothing else remotely demanding. Fwiw I do have one VM, win 10 iot, that i to run downloads and torrents unattended as it's easier for me than fucking with 5 or 10 more applications on truenas, and it happens inside of there too when I'm bulk moving files into their proper dataset/folder since everything is set up via smb in there too.
>I thought about dropping in an i7-7700 and upgrading the RAM on the old system but stories like yours make me think that might just be a futile effort.
Fwiw My previous setup was an fx6300 with 8gb ram and aside from using near double the power and being far slower at actual compute (IE trickplay generation) it was entirely capable as a file and backup server and I had basically no issues with it.

>>105913876
>>105914006
You only need quicksync for transcoding. if the client supports whatever codec and settings the file was encoded with it will just direct play, and practically everything made in at least the last 5 years supports AV1 decoding.

>>105908763
Thanks for sharing your experience anon. I'll keep that in mind.

>>105914642
try multichannel

>>105914575
Ugreen NAS isn't sold where I live and Aoostar's would be more expensive than DIY when taking shipping and taxes into account so I can't really comment on that.
But there's stuff like how they use brick PSUs and maybe you don't want that? But I'd say the Ugreen NAS would've definitely been top of my list if they were sold here.
I frankly don't see the point in Unraid other than mixing drives with different sizes but you can accomplish something similar with mergefs+snapraid and I remember reading that ZFS (truenas) were working on adding something similar.
I use OMV tho, so take all I've said with a grain of salt.

>>105914887
Yeah, the Ugreen N100 one is one of my top contenders. I'm only considering DIY because I know it can be a bit cheaper, especially if I bother looking into second hand stuff, but I don't think I'll ever get as power efficient.

They thing's that make me second guess going truenas is adding disks to the array, even if they are the same size, dones't look like an easy process, and if I ever want to upgrade disks to larger sizes, looks to be unfeasible.

Why not buy a odroid H4+?
It has a better chip and can be converted with a cheap itx converter kit and you pay a little bit more for the SATA power and cables and now you can build a DIY low powered NAS that can stream 4k or more with other task to spare

>>105916958
Put some cat7 or 8 or whatever we're up to now in but then alongside it fiber, high gig copper gets harder and harder to achieve the rated speeds the further you go and putting fiber in the walls mitigates that while also allowing way faster speeds using far cheaper and more ubiquitous (vs copper) used enterprise networking equipment, while having copper as well allows you the option to just hook shit right to the wall if you want or it's legacy gigabit shit and not worth dealing with fiber.

The error you are seeing, unable to get image 'caddy:<version>': Error response from daemon: invalid reference, is because Docker is unable to pull the image with the placeholder <version>.

To fix this, replace <version> with the actual version of Caddy you'd like to use. For example, you could use caddy:latest for the latest version or a specific version like caddy:2.6.0 depending on your needs.

Here’s an updated docker-compose.yml example:

services:
caddy:
image: caddy:latest # Replace <version> with 'latest' or a specific version
restart: unless-stopped
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
- "443:443/udp"
volumes:
- $PWD/conf:/etc/caddy
- $PWD/site:/srv
- caddy_data:/data
- caddy_config:/config

volumes:
caddy_data:
caddy_config:

Make sure to replace caddy:latest with the version you need.

If you're still facing issues, check that the docker-compose.yml file is in the correct directory, and confirm that Docker is set up properly on your system.

I bought a Odroid H4+ to serve as my router with the gigabit attachment. I'm going to use a sata SSD for storage because the m.2 slot will be populated.
Is Pfsense the best I can use or should I use something else?

Consequences of renting a server instead of owning one

Is Unbound really "worth it" in addition to Pihole?

Hey /hsg/, looking for some advice.

I have an off-the-shelf Asustor NAS with four 8TB drives in a RAID 5. I've managed to fill these up, so I'm thinking of turning my desktop PC into a home server and transferring the data over from the NAS. I've never built my own server, so I have a couple questions.

1) Is there any way I can simply move the drives from the Asustor to the new machine and preserve the data?

2) My mobo is a MSI Gaming Plus B550 (picrel). It has 6 SATA ports, so would it be as easy as just acquiring 6 HDDs and installing something like TrueNAS on an M.2 drive? Or are there other things I need to consider?

>>105931620
Astur NAS are Linux based so probably
They might use some weird FS though

3D Printed a 10" rack (labrax) for my network stuff. Going to be upgrading to a 10g setup pretty soon here with one of the Mikrotik CS310 switch variants and I'll be moving my Opnsense setup over from my main server and onto a Lenovo m720q or something similar I can fit into this rack. Right now I have Opnsense virtualized in the Proxmox setup, and it's annoying how my network has to go down whenever I need to reboot the server. Really satisfying to see this thing sitting there and blinking, knowing I printed it and put it all together myself.

How do you do docker inter-container SSL properly? If some-container is talking to nginx-container, it's addressing it as https://nginx-container:9000 not whatever proper external domain name. I can't use self-signed ones without doing overcomplicated hackery like modifying entrypoint to call update-ca-certificates or using a bunch of exclusive sidecar containers. I feel like I'm being completely retarded and missing something obvious here.

>>105932657
Why even bother with that? You can set them on their own isolated network for internal traffic with docker compose and then SSL with a reverse proxy for the external traffic

>>105932714
I'm doing that, but I've got about 40 running and managing each having its own isolated network is kinda tedious. Now I'm adding push notifications and don't want an additional like 20 manually defined networks between the push server and each container too so I was trying to just send the traffic through the existing reverse proxy ones. I suppose I could just throw in a non-https port with only internal IP ranges whitelisted though, yeah.

>>105932781
That's Awesome
Isolsate on your ISP
Push to an MSP (this can be done through Octopus)

>>105932781
Why not just drop a Traefik or Nginx reverse proxy inside the internal network and route everything through that? You don’t need to juggle 40 isolated networks just one shared network, plain HTTP inside, and let the proxy handle service discovery and routing.

>>105932824
The main idea was to prevent containers that don't explicitly need to communicate from seeing each other entirely. I'll be the first admit that it is a bit excessive (and probably ineffective).

>>105932864
Yeah, I see what you’re saying. With Traefik you can control what talks to what without needing separate networks. You just only set up Traefik routes using labels for the services you want exposed, and skip them on the rest. You can also add ip whitelists or auth w/ Traefik so only certain sources can hit certain services. Basically, let Traefik be the gatekeeper instead of trying to hard fence every container. Way less hassle, same isolation where it matters.

I can also understand how daunting it is to have to change something like this you’ve already got set up

>>105931682
>not having your patch panel next to your switch
>patching over spare RU
ngmi

>>105932928
The patch cables I got are way too long so I did that to make it look somewhat less goofy for now, since I don’t want to drop another $17 on patch cables. Also, it’s not a spare ru, it’s a shelf ru. It’s there in case I want to put tiny animu figures on it, anon.

>>105932925
Thanks, I appreciate the recommendation. That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for, and I've generally been seeing more and more advantages to Traefik too so I'll probably make the switch some time soon.

>>105932975
No problem. Good luck, anon

>>105931593
>>105930770
It's not going to be possible because it is not my Internet for one, and for two, the encrypted traffic is critical to the setup.
Anyway I said it was more complicated, that is actually the second vps, I wanted redundant gateways. Got it mostly set up but I am running failover vs load balancing for now because one vps is in another country so...

Unfortunately I found the limitations of the core router being a shitty thinkcenter tiny with a USB nic for second port and it seems like the USB nic passed away. And it's 80km away... Like I go on ssh and there just is no nic, it's gone completely.

You clearly have financial issues. Maybe resolving these and selling your stuff and doing a new PC build with enough SATA ports, Linux and drives might resolve these issues instead of using chink niche products for overpriced ripoff values to bandaid around the problem you self-inflicted.

My house is right next to a busy intersection that constantly has accidents or people absolutely flying through way over the limit. I keep missing the accidents, just hearing them. I'm thinking of setting up two cameras, one to capture the plates of everyone driving through and logging them in a database with photo, timestamps etc. A second one to watch the intersection itself for accidents. I can also find out who the fuckhead is that drives around at 3am on a weeknight with the subs cranking max volume listening to the shittest dubstep I have ever heard.

>>105932657
Service mesh? Like istio or linkerd. It’ll handle the SSL across the network including certificate rotations. Also includes authorization settings per identity so you can grant certain things access to one another at a granular level. Linkerd is easier to configure but from experience Istio has a lot more configurability. What you’re looking for is mTLS (mutual TLS)

Hello /hsg/, retard here. I have a few *ubuntu devices with zpools set up for specific storage needs, all working well enough to suit my needs. That said, I'm curious about ceph clusters. My basic-bitch understanding of ceph is that it shares available storage devices across the cluster to enable redundancy, but how does that/can that work with zfs? Is there any viable marriage between the two? I enjoy all the benefits of zfs but I would eventually like to build a legitimate 3-node cluster.

I've been super happy with Vikunja for personal task management. I've been using a million different .txt files to keep track of things. What I had never considered is how good it would be for archiving information about tasks once they were done. IE scanning and attaching receipts/emails to projects for future reference and it is all super organised. Combine it with paperless to make searching for random documents even easier plus caldav to sync calendars. I haven't really used my server for much other than media until now but this has been so much more useful than I could've imagined.

>>105943033
I don't think you'd do that with ZFS. Ceph is to my understanding quite complex to use as well.If you are wanting to learn by all menas go for it, if you want an end result you can rely on, don't. It could turn into a second job.

That's going to be a problem.
There are a few Inter-Tech 4U "Mining" cases that are great in terms of airflow (you can just take out the HDD sleds entirely) but they are all ~700mm deep. I have three acting as low fan noise storage nodes and I love them but again they are fucking deep.

I have a 14tb seagate drive that seems dead.
If I connect it to any machine, the machine fails to boot with the last message being "ata soft reset failed".
The drive shows up in the bios, if that means anything.
Am I fucked? Is there something I can try?

Which image do you guys run for slsk on docker? The actual slsk one or one of the nicotine ones?

>add series to sonarr
>uncheck auto grab
>later find out it auto grabbed some shit release from a private tracker anyway
>now have to seed it
god these programs are so fucking SHIT

>>105946147
Sonarr is a bit of a pain in the ass to get it just right.
The thing that pisses me off the most is how you have to wrangle it when manually searching for shit.
Like, you can't tell it "yes, this thing IS right" until it finishes downloading, at which time you can manually import it.
You'd think either of these buttons would do that but no.
ACTUALLY the thing that pisses me off the most is how they insist on using TVDB and their fucking localised names for anime instead of just romanji

>>105946180
I love the "override" button, shit gets automatically picked, then I override with something else and it does not cancel the previous download on the torrent client

>>105946408
Yeah, I had to setup qbit-manage to get around this shit too. I really recommend it if you haven't.
Too bad it doesn't update as often as qbit itself but if you're using private trackers then you're most likely using older whitelisted versions so that shouldn't be a problem for you.

Whenever I look at videos/posts/reviews for anything from a "big" home server to a NAS with a modest CPU, everyone and their mother starts talking about installing Proxmox on it.
What am I missing here?
Why should I use Proxmox over something like Debian with Docker? (assuming I need just the one OS for all services, naturally)

>>105946695
You don't need proxmox .
Its just marketing

>>105946695
because it's a very convenient way of dealing with multiple, isolated services and managing their networks, storage and whatnot.
In particular, the integration with proxmox backup server is great and incremental backups with nearly no overhead lets me do daily backups and keep them forever without even thinking about it.
I am actually moving out of proxmox because it does add a layer of complexity I dont care about, but it's great if you take advantage of its features

>>105946432
is it actually worth it?

>>105946763
Are you the guy I was replying to and are you just asking about qbit-manage or are you somebody else asking about Sonarr in general?
Either way, despite all the problems, yeah, I'd say so.

I have the whole Jellyfin stack configured to do things automatically, but is there a way to filter out bad releases before they get downloaded (ideally) or at least for Sonarr to pick a different one automatically when it downloads and sees only harmful files inside? Right now it just waits for me to do something, but saner approach would be to just blacklist and pick a new one, I don't care about bandwidth.

Pic related, I want to avoid this as it is now happening multiple times a week on new releases and Sonarr just sits there with it like a retarr'd

I've looked through Sonarr but it doesn't know what's being downloaded until it's there, Prowlarr doesn't have settings for filtering (I assume it only deals with indexers not the actual torrent), and my client is dumb as well (Transmission) but at least it allows me to leech unlike others.

I guess the answer is removing offending indexers but it just seems like it happens on all the public ones. And what if I fancy watching something more obscure / finished series? Having alternatives is an advantage then

>>105945844
I guess I'll have to get something like this and take the jigsaw to make room for a gpu. pic is codegen 4u v2

>>105947265
Add the unwanted file extensions to your torrent client's blacklist. Qbit has that, no clue about Transmission

>>105907842
>I'll test it whenever that time comes

based

>>105947361
>>105947265
There's also this under Sonarr's indexer options (advanced)

>>105947382
will Failing cause grabbing another release?

What do you do when your ISP has bufferbloat in their network beyond your control?

>>105947426
No clue, I don't download porn or other shit that usually comes with unwanted crap.

i need some tech support -_-
how fast is samba file sharing supposed to be? im hoping to use it as if its was local drive im experiencing some weird perf issues.
obviously i dont expect ludicrous speeds but right now it takes like ~5 seconds to open an image file but when i open a 4k anime it loads in and streams fine folders sometimes take a lot of time to load in
weirdest thing is that on cockpit cpu, mem, network and io usage are minimal

n100 mini pc and an 5tb external hdd connected to it via USB3 that was shared via samba via wifi, btrfs fedora server 42, testing on shitdows and android

I setup a half-assed web radio that just shuffles through all my music and sent it to a fren, who upon tuning in got served a moe anime OP, followed by /fit/'s the wall, and then a 10 minute "experimental" track that is basically just static noise and shouting, and then he left. For reference 95% of my library, and what he'd have been expecting, is rock/folk/country.

>>105947555
Something is wrong with your shit, I also run an N100 and used to run something even shittier.
Is the mini PC connected via wifi or just the clients?.

>>105947571
everything fully wireless but the thing is if it can load and stream 4k animu fine why cant it serve small images?

btw my smb conf is basic AF literally 4 lines

Thanks! I closed my computer right before you posted, but "DAS" was the search term I was looking for. There's a bunch of cheap shitty ones, but I'm seeing some reviews mentioning a few that are mostly silent, which is my main concern. I'll keep looking, thanks!

>>105947556
>tune in to friends webradio
>expect country songs
>get /k/'s oh shit I'm feeling it

>>105947593
I remember having to mess with thumbnail cache in windows at some point, but my image folder has like 5k images or something.
Asynchronous I/O and sendfile might help you as well.
Oh, and change windows explorer's sorting order from "Date" to "Date Modified", "Name" or something else, the "Date" one slows it down to a crawl.

>>105908967
Mikrotik. Considerably more features than eol Cisco and poe actually works. Comparably low power as well

>>105947820
mikrotik CLI is slavjank-retarded though
at least a slightly intelligent monkey can figure out cisco CLI and there is a wealth of documentation around it

>>105947845
True, but they have reasonably OK web GUI now and you don't need that shitty app.

New ones are comically cheap too

>>105947809
my folders have 17k files

Async I/O is enabled by default
ive set sendfile to yes its hard to tell if there were improvements

>>105947809
>>105948124
also i know that windows is a POS but its slow even on android so it must be a server issue

>>105947072
it just doesn't seem like it would do much
>Remove unregistered torrents (delete data & torrent if it is not being cross-seeded, otherwise it will just remove the torrent)
seems okay I guess

>>105947440
Contact your ISP and complain about the problem and hope they take you seriously, or change your ISP if possible.

>>105948174
I mainly use it for the hardlink detection.
If setup correctly Sonarr will hardlink the download file to a media location (where Jellyfin, for exemple, ingests it).
When a torrent is replaced, the older one loses its hardlink and qbit-manage will detect that and remove it accordingly.
>>105948144
Yeah, I meant to add that part about "if android is also slow then it's probably something to do with your server".

>>105948174
nta but the autotagging per-tracker, finding orphaned files and setting bandwidth limits based on tag is a lifesaver for me

Anyone here using one of those "NAS" OSes?
I'm new to this shit, I've been playing around with using an old laptop as a server and I'm waiting on some new hardware to come so it's an opportunity to start fresh.
So far I've been using Debian with docker for just about everything and I learned that I like having a server, but working on it? not so much.
So the idea of something that's more "fuck it, whatever" like TrueNAS or whatever else is appealing to me.
That being said I don't want to be limited in terms of what I can do with it and it would bother me a LOT if I couldn't do something on my machine that I could if I just used some more Vanilla Linux.
I'm perfectly capable of doing everything myself through Debian, but I don't want to put in work if I don't have to.

Any recommendations?
Is there an OS out there that's "user friendly" and does shit for me but I still COULD do regular-Linux type things on it?
Or should I stop overthinking it and just use Debian?
If I should just use Debian, any dashboard-type services you recommend for giving me a remote GUI to do as much as possible on the server through it? I've heard the name "cockpit" but I'm pretty wet behind the ear.

>>105948596
OMV is basically Debian with a webui, I've been using it for a decade now and I'd recommend it.

>>105903758 (OP)
Fuck cats. Absolute vermin.

>>105948682

>>105948638
Oh that looks PERFECT
cheers Anon

>>105947265
I setup TRaSH guides which has all the quality and uploader filters premade and standardized. I think it's called recyclarr or something to update definitions in radarr/sonarr.
Even if you disagree with quality/size ratios I'd use it as a base for filtering out shit uploaders and spam then edit your size definitions after. I've never gotten spam like your pic after setting up my filters.

>>105950051
sonarr v4 made following thrash guides basically mandatory or the thing is unusable.
i agree it works well after, but also fuck them for it

>>105950247
I can't remember why but I decided not to upgrade to v4. Sonarr is by far the most difficult to work with, shit just doesn't work unless you do it their way.
It's the only debian 9 container I have because shit refused to work on any other version. And most of the time I'm grabbing entire seasons instead of individual episodes so it didn't even feel worth it after install. Radarr was easy and makes me happy to have movies automated, sonarr feels like debugging someone elses code anytime I have to fix something.

>>105950247
the trash guides were too ridiculous for me when it came to quality profiles, each series episode was taking like 15gb of disk space, retarded. ideally I'd like 7gb per movie and 2-3gb per episode but I can't be assed to learn their UI

>>105948274
I called them and they seemed surprisingly willing to at least listen.

The first 3 people i was transferred to had no real idea what bufferbloat even was, eventually they escalated it to a network engineer who said he'll get back to me.

>>105950051
If I use Recyclarr, am I supposed to set up Starr apps with the TraSh guide first and then Recyclarr keeps it updated for me, or does it handle everything in the first run too?

>>105950641
Not sure, I setup my own definitions first then manually created trash guide definitions. I only found out about recyclarr after which keeps them up to date.
Recyclarr is pretty barebones, it's basically just a script. I don't think it has a gui or anything either.

>>105950641
this arr bullshit is retarded and must be stopped

>>105950802
From what I'm reading, you can just run it without doing an initial setup.
>>105950869
What don't you like about it?

>>105903758 (OP)
I don't know much about this kind of stuff, and was wondering if some of you can give me some advice. I want to put together a local storage device for my parents to watch their favourite tv shows on.

Just wanna load it with a ton of TV shows and movies, connect to our TV with HDMI, and have a TV remote that can select whatever they wanna watch from it. What's the easiest way to do this?

Synology any good? they seem to be the favorite according the Chad Gpt

>>105951453
If you wanna buy prebuilt then I guess

>>105951519
what do you use?

>>105951453
The OS is very easy to use and is supported for a long time and that's what you pay for. At the expense of good hardware for the same cost. They used to only require their enterprise tier to need Synology branded drives (at significant cost markup). They've started pushing this on the small home server or small business type ones too. I had an used Synology for years and was full intending to get another when the time came but not any more. I would 100% o for either a custom build. Or buy a prebuilt with features I liked and put truenas on there. Maybe UNRAID if I was slapping together a build from spare parts/drives.


As an aside, most brands have good hardware but dogshit software. I wouldn't trust the QNAP OS with grocery list. UGREEN is getting shilled super hard as a result of the Synology fiasco. That's a chinese brand. Again, I wouldn't trust the OS and wouldn't trust the hardware either desu.

I was wondering with blocks in the UK is it possible to set my OPNsense to reroute all connections based on a domain such as if I made any connections to domain1.com, subdomain.domain1.com, or its api domains it would reroute it through the VPN servers?

I don't want everything to be going through to the vpn since using a residential IP has its benefits (also I couldn't find a residential vpn that allowed P2P bittorent)

>>105951610
A laptop lol

>>105955083
>with blocks in the UK
are these actually real? for all isp's?

>>105956303
websites are blocking UK users, or either requiring IDs. If the website doesn't comply then ISPs will be ordered to block them

>>105956318
i don't get why they didn't just go via the ISP route in the first place. i, anon, own this connection and am fine for porn to be downloaded through it [opt in]. why make it the responsibility of seemingly every nsfw website on the planet? why make it the responsibility of social media websites to fact check things?

to centralise websites and services even more and make everyone even more reliant on corporations, i can only guess.

>>105945791
It's wiki.js https://js.wiki/
has builtin support for git backups, in case I blow up my server

>>105955083
You have two options here, with only one option being practical. Now you could lookup the domains, whose traffic you want to route through the VPN, cache the IP addresses until the TTL of the DNS response expires (typically very short for websites using CDNs), and then add policy based routing entries for these IP addresses to your Opnsense, to route the traffic destined to these addresses through the VPN. Setting this up is going to be quite messy and you will want to consult the Opnsense API documentation for that.

The other (more easy and likely more reliable) option would be to use a web proxy like Squid (available as a package for Opnsense) and configure an upstream proxy for any website to be reached via the VPN which is exclusively being used for this purpose. In this case you only need one policy based route for the upstream proxy.

Actually, there is a third option: You could also host a wpad.dat for your local network and use it to directly configure the aforementioned upstream proxy only for specific websites. This way you would access any webpage directly except for sites reachable via VPN, in which case the proxy will be used.

>>105957111
mmm would have through I could use opnsense firewall rules for domain names to foward to the vpn unless I'm wrong
