/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.

my server runs windows 10 and will never need anything else

I installed my first home server on a laptop and want the screen to stay off, but vbetool dpms off isn't working, on the screen it says "timeout waiting for ddi buf a to get idle" and "failed to write source oui". the screen only shuts off for a second.

What do bros? My dad is gonna kill me if he sees the electricity bill

i just downloaded a "black screen" video from youtube and had that full screen and playing 24/7. It doesnt use much electricity if u have an oled monitor or whatever

theres def a better way to do it tho lol

hello, home server
I've been ignoring you for years because I figured nothing I had was really important enough to save but now that Youtube is going to start a mass purge in less than a month, I need to get a NAS set up quickly and easily.

Newegg has this:

I'm getting filtered by reverse proxy, I'm using NPM but I'm unable to connect it to my dockerized nexcloud instance.
Is there a good guide that goes over this I'm not sure where to go but my only goal is to issue self signed certificates on my local network just so I can use HTTPs for extra protection.
Also it feels like nextcloud makes this process way harder than it needs to be and I'm considering dropping it. I just like how it integrates everything.

Having issues with getting LibrePhotos working. When i go to domain.com:3001 (the port i set), i see a login screen but get http 500 errors about the /api/firsttimesetup/. When i inspect the docker backend logs i see some stuff like this, but not sure whats going on

I'm running a proxmox system and I'm running nextcloud through a debian LXC container. I'm trying to setup the proxy through my docker container but for some reason whenever I connect it I get a too many redirect error. I setup the static IP on my router and gave it a domain name nextcloud.lan because for some reason local doesn't work on my openwrt router. When it's pointing to the nextcloud instance the url works but when I connect it to the nextcloud instance nothing happens and I get a too many redirect error.
I'm not sure if it's a issue with the docker image which has port 80 and 443. I need to finish work I will look over it again and provide more info.

I have not realized that librephotos has built in nextcloud support. I had pointed the photos directory directly to the librecloud data for photos, would it make more sense to make the photos directory my SMB Pictures share instead and then login to nextcloud within librephotos?

Purchased a chink ITX NAS motherboard. It has a PCIe slot intended for an Ekey wifi/bluetooth modlel. Yet I can't think of a reason to have wifi/bluetooth on a NAS setup. Am I overlooking something?

Hey guys i live in spain where the electricity is quite expensive
Anyway, i would like to run a file server at home for basically my LAN alone, and it would be cool if i could also run some gameserver through steam's new "fake IP" SDR stuff to hide my real IP, i know how to set it up and all
My current hardware is
>2 laptops from the 2010's
>1 old laptop from the early 2000s
>1 raspberry Pi 1
>1 Banana Pi M2-zero
>my main PC (700€ worth of modern hardware)

I would like to buy some giga huge 10 to 18 terbayte hard disk and set up one of these machines with it, preferably not my main PC, to run fulltime or near full time

What would you advice? I have about 10 TB worth of storage in my main PC but its split across 2 hard disks and 1 SSD

>>106108175

Don't get a prebuilt NAS, build one out of a used desktop. Find a cheap dell optiplex on ebay with one pcie slot available in case you want to add more drives in the future.

>>106108307
Or he can save money and get a n100-n150 motherboard or one of those SBC that have similar chips with better performance and have a efficient machine that he can upgrade in the future instead of it being in that restrictive chasis.

>>106108272
Gotcha.
So ignore the wifi/bluetooth module and use the PCIe slot for something else.
Thank Anon.

>buy new hard drive
>hammer the shit out of it with read/write tests
>hammer the shit out of it building parity
I hate this :/ I do more writes on a drive in the first week than I'll do in the next 3 years lol. At least I know if it survives it'll probably last a long time. Probably.

>>106108229
My electricity is expensive too even though I'm in the states.
I wouldn't run the early 2000s stuff. The rpi is pretty useless too usb 2.0 sucks for a file server. One of the 2010s laptops would be fine.
Gameserver is a different story. You'd have to check the recommended specs for whatever game server you're trying to host.
Also consider getting a second drive for backups.
>>106108358
He could but I assume anyone starting out by looking at prebuilt NASs isn't looking to cobble together a custom build. An old office PC is a good in-between even if it isn't as expandable in the future.

>>106108402
chink boards are known to be unstable and have non working features like power on AC (personal experience)

>>106108443
With the current shift with the internet I think it's vital for people to be more energy conscious globally when running servers. If average Joes start aping these pants on the head retarded YouTubers that buy and build shit they don't really need we're on a fast road to hell.

i don't have very high storage requirements atm but will probably expand in the future, is mergerfs and snapraid my best option with 2 drives?
changing to a new layout sounds like a major pain in the ass otherwise

>>106108680
I would just run a basic file system with a backup job at 2 drives

>>106108680
>>106108760
Yeah, doing anything other than just normal filesystem shit with 2 drives seems retarded

>>106108443
>One of the 2010s laptops would be fine.
can i just the native sata port from the laptop to power the drive?
>Gameserver is a different story.
desu its not that neccessary, i only need it for set events at which point i can just run it on my main PC for a few hours, and i also have a cheapo VPS where the server runs fine
>Also consider getting a second drive for backups.
I would mostly use this as a media server anyway to store all my junk: Movies, music, etc, and then hopefully share those files across my network easily through smb or something
Are there any risks on running a laptop 24/7 ? This guy seems pretty cool about it

>>106109075
>can i just the native sata port from the laptop to power the drive?
Depends on how many sata ports the laptop has. If you have just one I would boot from that and use usb for the drive. Don't keep your server OS and data on the same drive.
Also you're storing the drive outside the laptop so you'd have to do some chassis mods to run the sata cable outside.
>Are there any risks on running a laptop 24/7
A couple come to mind.
Make sure your exhaust vents aren't covered by the screen when it's closed. Also if it gets super hot you might damage the screen but it's hard to say without knowing the exact laptop model.
Laptops are nice because they come with a built in UPS battery but you'll have to check it every once in a while to make sure it's not bulging. You might have a bios option to bypass the battery altogether and just run off AC power.
The biggest downside to laptops is having pretty much 0 expandability or upgrade potential. You can hack together an m.2 expansion card and have laptop guts hanging out everywhere but it defeats the purpose of running a laptop server imo.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but worth a shot. I added two more hdds to my omv server, but after closing the whole thing up and restarting it, I somehow no longer have a boot drive. Any idea what's going on? The storage does show in the bios, it's just the boot portion that's missing

>>106108680
You have no need for mergerfs at the moment because snapraid requires one of the drives (the biggest drive) to be a parity drive so you'd only be able to use one drive for data anyways. That aside, yeah it's a good plan for an easily expandable system in the future.

I managed to get nginx proxy manager and mailcow-dockerized to work. I am switching to PSR-4 scheme with my code and using chatgpt to refactor everything into OOP. I got a lot done today and I'm happy. Tomorrow I think I'll install the opnsense VM to my 2nd proxmox server and get two more WAN IP's so can I use them for my UDM Pro. UDM Pros can now use any LAN1-8 ports for WAN unless they are in the subnet. I can evade that requirement by using Opnsense in the middle to make those two connections appear as two new WAN connections. Hard to explain, I don't even know how this shit works exactly.

This motherboard i got for my nas has no option to turn back on after a power loss, is there something else i can do to have it turn on, like any kind of setting from Truenas itself? I have it and the main server plugged into a UPS but it only has ethernet out not usb so im not sure how to set it up so the NAS can see the UPS even and graceful shutdown.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184203852252?chn=ps&google_free_listing_action=view_item&gQT=1

>>106109543
Is there a way for me to set it up so I can shutdown if ups is low and then somehow restart when its back? This no auto setting thing is really odd, I've never seen it. Im also wondered since there are no display out on the motherboard, should I leave a gpu inserted in? How much power draw would that cause? In case of troubleshooting i have to put one in at the moment, even just to see bios, unless there's some other way to do that like via usb 3

>>106109249
Update to this, the SSD is definitely alive and working and I can access it from a live distro. Any idea what's going on?

>>106109764
I ask this, because i went to the bios looking for that setting, and now the server will not come on when i remove the GPU. It was working fine before after the initial setup but now it doesnt seem to.

>>106109828
Im tempted to reset the bios, is this safe to do if I have the truenas config setup? I dont want to have a gpu in this NAS

As a noob to this stuff, with only 2 drives of different size (4tb and 8tb), should I be using something that isn't trueNas (I heard it's easy to use and has a GUI)? I thought about unRaid, but paying for a license is stupid.

>>106109764
APC/Cyberpower have software that handle shutting down if you use the cord >>106109543 linked to. I don't think they turn the computer back on though.
Are you sure there's no power on feature in your bios? Sometimes it's under a weird name like "State after G3". It's not necessarily going to have an obvious name.
If your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics then you'll need the gpu to get a display output. I'm surprised your motherboard has gpu passthrough at all usually you have to plug into the gpu itself.

It has been running for days without a gpu in it with no problems though. I did reset the bios but doesn't seem to have helped. I just dont understand why it stopped working

Bought a couple new Exos, but for whatever reason my NAS refuses to even turn them on while connecting them to Windows via usb works

>>106111609
The one on the right you mean? It's also on the other 2 Exos I already have, but they both work just fine

>>106111629
There isn't a jumper of any kind on the two working ones, is there? Any meaningful difference between how your two working exos are connected to the mobo/psu and the two new ones? Can you swap the sata cables/HBA and/or the psu/power cables to rule out your power/data interfaces? What -is- your motherboard?

>>106111650
are they legit or shucked
google 3.3 pin hdd tape

>>106111650
They look absolutely the same to me. Top is old one, bottom new one.
Mobo is a rog strix z690 a d4, there's no difference as to how they are powered/connected to the mobo and they use the same psu cable (I'm not using any sata power splitter). I tried removing the old hdds and connecting only the new ones, using the same cables too, but nothing changed, they just don't show even in the mobo.
>>106111682
As far as I know they're all legit, and I bought them from the same amazon page, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XM9RM95

>>106111708
There must be some defect or variation on the drive's power connector then. I would caution to guess whatever USB hub you're using might be providing a different enough input of power, at the very least. You've completely mirrored the interface of the working drives, right? Same sata cords, same sata ports on the mobo, same exact power connections from the psu?
And when you have them connected via the usb hub, what sort of differences can you produce with crystaldiskinfo? Check that next. Screenshots.

>>106111869
fuck my ass, i think i found out what the issue is
Left is new one, right old one, completely different firmware, this made me check if it maybe was a firmware thing, so I went on the Seagate website to check for a newer one
And what I did find is, the model number is the same for both, ST16000NM001G, but the product number is different, 2KK103-703 for the old ones, 2KK103-003, which apparently are product number for shucked drives. Guess the USB hub I'm using is made to be compatible with shucked drives? Now I have no idea what to do, whether to keep them and tape them or send them back and buy new ones hoping for the best

Do you think I should keep the discs like this? This splitter is like 15?yo, no idea how safe it is

>>106112327
It's just wire. As long as you have a decent PSU in that box and aren't daisy chaining a dozen drives together on one SATA cable it's fine.

>>106108229
That hardware sounds like a pain to deal with. Check your secondhand sites for a 4600G or similar. You can get those for very cheap sometimes.
>>106110442
You can use OpenMediaVault. With those disks you can do RAID0 which gives you 12 tbs of storage without any redundancy.

>>106112327
It sounds like the necessary component here is your splitter, should you decide to keep them.
Heed my quads - are you better served by just dealing with what you have, or spending a little time/money to source drives that don't require the extra hardware? Is what you're going to build with the drives something you're comfortable with having built on your splitter? If it were me, I'd at least attempt to source drives with the same firmware, if nothing else. But that's just me.
If the splitter is an easily replaceable piece of hardware, you could just ride it out with the knowledge that you might/will eventually need to replace that piece of hardware.
The ball's entirely in your court. What are your goals for the disk, and by extension of that, what do you actually want to do?

>>106112411
>If it were me, I'd at least attempt to source drives with the same firmware, if nothing else.
I'm actually fighting against my autism to not do that. I really, REALLY want to send them back and try the lottery for the same product number/firmware, but the only ones available right now are from the same paki and also cost £15 more than what I paid (they had a 5% discount for whatever reason)
I had that splitter since my very first pc, heck it might actually have been my father's even, I found it randomly in my old gpu's box earlier, guess it was destiny that wanted me to use it
I just hope that if it dies it won't fuck things up, since I'm using one of the new drives as a snapraid parity drive

>>106112411
>source drives that don't require the extra hardware
If his PSU is outputting power on the power disable pin then he'll continue to run into this issue in the future anyway.

What's the easiest and cheapest way of adding more drives if I already filled my mobo ports?

ssd you mean?

If i move files around on my NAS it doesnt actually read and write the files anywhere; just like when you move files on a single HDD just updates the pointer? I usually manually move my media from the downloads directory to movies, anime, movies, etc from my windows desktop accessing the smb share but then its copying and i have to delete the original. Is there any way to do this from my windows machine that just moves the files and doesnt cause reads/rights? Also, if i have these NAS directories mounted to /mnt/Downloads and /mnt/Movies on another server which runs jellyfin, if i mv files from command line on that machine will that also cause reads/writes on the NAS?

>>106112833
Wow. These prices are double what I remember them being from a few months ago last time I checked.

>>106113051
moving files won't cause the file to be copied and then deleted if it's in the same partition
for SMB the same applies within the same volume, if you have /mnt/Downloads and /mnt/Movies that's two different volumes so moving a file means the data will go through nas -> client -> nas

>>106113212
Is there any way for me to the normal move the file from windows or from the server, or do i have to go into the truenas and use the cli there, thats fairly cumbersome? When i do it from my office desktop computer i get a copy bar and it takes time so it's definitely writing new files. I was eventually going to try and set something like this up but especially for currently airing anime i usually just watch them from downloads and maybe move them over when the season ends but in the meantime id prefer to avoid all the reading and writing on the disks.

>>106107179
I'd recommend just using nginx configured as a reverse proxy. Maybe try it first in a VM or bare metal before setting it up in docker just so you get a feel for the process.

The basic concept is that the reverse proxy accepts https connections and will forward these to (usually) http hosts (can be ip or hostname) based on the provided url subdomain. So e.g. I'd go to dev.selfhost.local (which I assigned in my in the dns on my network to map to the ip address of the reverse proxy. The reverse proxy will then see "dev" and redirect accordingly. I can make different redirect rules for different subdomains. The benefit is that you only have to maintain your https certs in one spot. Make sure that no other hosts can access the network behind the reverse proxy or else they could sniff unencrypted traffic.

The process:
1. Install nginx on distro of choice
2. If RHEL based distro keep in mind that firewalld and selinux might need tuning so disable them for testing and then turn them back on (assuming this is a home scenario)
3. Configure /etc/nginx/nginx.conf as explained on the nginx website, basically you'd add different sections for each host you want to redirect to. Also be sure to look into redirecting http to https by default on the input side of the reverse proxy.
4. Look in the documentation of the app you want to redirect to, most big project have an example nginx config.
5. # systemctl restart nginx (if it fails check brackets in the config and if you copied configs to terminal make sure the whole line got copied and not just tell the edge of the screen)

The shitty thing about setting this up is that there are many areas where you could fuck up: on the hosts, the firewall/router, dns, nginx config, local firewalls, selinux, docker. So just start simple and once you know you have a working nginx config, dockerize it.

The documentation for my motherboard sucks.

Under 'Product Features' it says,
>Up to 2x DDR4 UDIMM memory socket
which is fine, there are indeed two DIMM slots, but then under 'Technical Specifications' / 'Memory' it says,
>2x DDR4 2133 UDIMM up to 256 GByte
>ECC supported
the former of which makes no sense, although under the block diagram it says:
>2x UDIMM / RDIMM
If you're interested in looking at the manual try "kontron 152261" in google and it'll be the first link, but aside from memory timings it doesn't contain anything useful to contribute towards clarifying the actual question, which is "what's the cheapest GB/$ DIMMs I can go out and buy to make this thing work".

I don't know if UDIMMs above 32GB even exist for DDR4, but is it safe to presume based on the above that it would support RDIMMs?

You set up an smb share on the server.

from a home server perspective which rack server manufacturer is the best? I spend a lot of time with Dell servers at work and they are really well suited for enterprise usage and I am tentatively thinking of getting a 5-6 years old one like R340 or maybe fully specced R330 but what about other manufacturers, HPe, Lenovo, fujitsu what they have in store?
Any killer features? is there an equivalent to iDRAC? how about ease of maintenance, firmware updates?

>>106114716
>from a home server perspective
Of those, Fujitsu maybe?
I'd be avoiding used enterprise gear from any of the major system integrators though on the basis of power-usage/heat/noise, and instead looking at building something myself from mostly consumer gear plus a server mobo for the sake of BMC/IPMI.

eg. I'm personally thinking about grabbing one among the Supermicro H13SAE-MF, ASRock B650D4U or EPYC4000D4U, Gigabyte MC13-LE2, and then chucking in an EPYC 4545P.

Thanks I was able to set up NPM on a debian LXC container but I was fucking up because I had two fields in reverse caused by my dyslexia. I'm happy that I can use https with my self signed certificates which allow me to continue my plan to only access my network through wireguard.
I have to build my router now but my next step is figuring out the best option for a mesh network in my home because my upstairs performance is pathetic.
I'm going to flash openwrt and migrate my network config to the new router and turn the old one into a wifi 6 provider and use an affordable router as the upstairs portion of the mesh. I'm not sure if I should save the money and just change the wireless card on my fucking laptop because it keeps shitting the bed at long range.
I'm also worried about the paperless NGX workload on my odroid H4 Ultra I would like to hope that 2 core are enough if I'm only feeding it 1 document at a time because I don't have access to a good scanner and only my phone. So I'm a bit nervous about that.
But for today I'm happy that I have a easy way to organize certificates and I'm going to run my openwrt instance on proxmox with 2 cores and allocate the other 2 cores of my Odroid H4+ to hosting my dashboard, metrics and portainer. I was thinking of migrating my NPM instance over there but I think it's fine where it is currently at.
I also like how easy it is to setup openwrt with wireguard plus I'm already familiar with the UI which would make using Opensense a waste of time because it's only me and my GF using it.

Anyone here use an Odroid H4 Plus as a file server?

I want to try getting one, but I want to use it with more than 4 drives in my soundproofed ATX case. Apparently the m.2 splitters can't be fitted with the Mini-ITX kit, and there may or may not be enough space under the risers to use an m.2 extension cable.
My plan is to use an m.2 extension cable, feed it to the 2x2 splitter, then into those install a ASM1166 SATA controller into the first slot, and a m.2 to PCIE converter into the other to run my 10GbE network card.

But my case has no motherboard cutout, so the m.2 extension cable may not fit.

>>106117999
>I would have to see your case before saying anything
Antec P183, original model without the mobo cutout and eSATA port. If it was the v3 version with the mobo cutout this wouldn't be a problem, I'm kind of kicking myself for not switching to that when it was still new, they just don't make cases that good now.

I'd really need one H4 to handle at least 7-8 drives because that's how many I can fit in the case (have 5.25 slots converted to hdd holders, max 10 drives all with silicone dampeners and 120mm fans cooling the drives). Plus that way I can use an existing ATX power supply to power the drives, because I don't trust the H4s flimsy plastic connectors to not melt as the toshiba 7200rpm drives boot up (I measure 100+ watts on boot just from the 4 drives and the mobo + cpu).

>>106118252
but, right now I use a B450M + 2200GE to drive it, which can't handle ASPM properly, so first I want to set it up with my other B550M + 5600G to see if it can lower the idle draw any. But I don't think it will since on my desktop it uses the same amount of post when idle.

>>106118128

Guys I need someone to set me straight because I'm about to drop 1500 euro on a new NAS to install Proxmox on.

Its the "AOOSTAR WTR MAX AMD R7 PRO 8845HS" with 96GB of RAM.

This is my current setup based off a free Dell Optiplex 7080 my last job said I could keep for free and i put a 64GB DIMM into it.

I use it for ZFS which is over USB(four 2TB SSD's in RaidZ1) which has it's own reliability problems but I'm happy enough with it now, my main concern is the gigabit e1000 NIC dying under load and the 2.5GB USB NIC which I have set as the primary in a bond0 disappearing so I'm getting tired of fixing it this bodge job.

Am I crazy for wanting to get this thing?
I figure I'd like to have it for 10 years and it should be much more reliable

>>106120823
current set up is comfy just get 5 GbE to usb 3 adapter

>>106120823
The proprietary nature of the motherboard and software makes me nervous, but I'm not a massive fan of miniPCs anyway. Have you considered building something similar yourself? 1500 euros is a lot of scratch and could certainly be made to work if you wanna make something of a smaller form factor.

>>106120823
You can get a 32gb ram 64tb nas with sas controller for like 1600

>>106120891

>>106120966
>I'm tired dude, I'm tired.
I make my comment not from a perspective of getting it built and running, but from a stance of general reliability. That unit may well be solid and reliable, but I would caution to guess some industry grade micro atx server mobo, a conservative processor and some entry-level ram configuration of similar build quality, while being more effort intensive to get off the ground, would better serve you in the long run, and by virtue of the parts be far easier to repair or upgrade as time goes on.
It's you're money, and I don't blame you for not wanting to repeat trying to build off the pi platform (why did you even try to do this?) but server-grade tech is sort of designed to be indestructible, and given the speed of progress of various components (think the new am5 4004/4005 series) lots of older server stuff is dirt cheap now. Not all of it, but enough, I'd think.

I had same issue with 5 GbE and AI made me go on a wild chase, some anon suggested that overheating IS the cause and just adding a copper heatsink fixed it.

>>106121003
>>106121003
You make a good point.
Perhaps I should revisit the self build option. It would also be cheaper and I'm not a stranger to it.

Unless you work in a fucking mainframe facility, building will always be a harrowing process fraught with perils. It blows, but that's the nature of the game - however I maintain that you will be better served in the long run if you just do it yourself. You will be able to select robust, server grade motherboards, processors and ram, never-mind the ability to include nice things like HBAs, built in BCM and high-grade NICs.
You might not need or want all those things, but they will always be available should you choose to go down that path.
We believe in you.

I'm no stranger to hardware work. I've done my time in datacenters troubleshooting and replacing hardware as my day job for a couple of years and I actually enjoyed doing it too.

You know what, I think I agree with you.
DIY will be much better and infinitely more versatile but I must admit, I'm jaded now into wanting something off the shelf that won't cause me any trouble even if it's more restrictive. I'd hate to be locked out of Proxmox by a factory OS though.

I think I best explore the overheating idea further before I drop that kind of money. I might not have to do it after all if that turns out to be the cause.

>>106121275
You've got your priorities straight and the experience behind you bro, you'll be fine.
>but I must admit, I'm jaded now into wanting something off the shelf that won't cause me any trouble even if it's more restrictive
Completely understandable, and nothing I've said is to rule out just buying some older server rack that's already complete, maybe even a newer model. Of course that will be loud, size and space restrictive, but if I were dead-set on not building it myself that's the route I would go. Maybe even something in the middle - a short rack with some consumer fans and the bare minimum of nice server guts - this will still give you orders of magnitude more reliability, maintainability and capacity to upgrade than any prebuilt desktop nas. The world is your oyster anon, but definitely take a look into those thermal issues first.
And bonus points for ZFS. Mad respect.

Need to switch my NAS to SSDs
>atm using 2.5" HDDs (I know)
>attached to a shitty old laptop via USB (I know)
But I've had...a sudden increase in need for storage space...heh...
So my single big ass proper 3.5" HDD, which is my cold backup which only gets occasional on-demand syncing from my NAS array, is now needed for some other storage.
Thus now is the right time to turn the 2.5" HDDs into the cold backup, and move to SSDs for the primary copy, the NAS array.

>still planning to use USB
>still planning to use the old laptop for now (it still works, why spend hundreds on something new until there's a need to?)
As for a future NAS machine, while it's nice to think of building a dedicated machine for it so all the disks can go neatly inside, I've realized that most likely it will just be another laptop or mini PC that makes up the next one. Whenever someone in my family needs a new main computer to use, their old one will be sitting idle. They give them to me. And they all use either laptops or mini PCs. So realistically I'll always have a slow-but-sure supply of retired laptops or mini PCs to recycle. For my NAS and whatever other server uses I have. So it doesn't make sense to build anything. Even if any current machine isn't keeping up with my needs, all I have to do is wait it out, and probably within a year, two-to-three tops, I'll get a hand-me-down for free that'll be several years better than what I'm currently using. Therefore...I'll likely always use USB to connect the disks.

So given that I'll likely always use USB, should I go for 2.5" SATA SSDs rather than NVMe? Seems like the SATAs are being phased out, NVMe is the standard. But isn't the whole point of NVMe to attach it to the motherboard for those blayzan fast speeds? Are they don't even have DRAM because they assume they can use HMB. So if using via USB it has none of the actual positives of NVMe, only the drawbacks (no DRAM, the heat problem, expensive enclosures)?

Hello everybody, I've been doing some research about starting up a home server for streaming movies/TV to my Roku TV with Jellyfin (and maybe a couple friends' TVs too). I found a Dell Wyse 5070 on ebay for $30 and was planning on getting that and a 16TB USB desktop expansion drive to start out with. I've never used Linux but I've always kind of wanted to mess around with it and it seems like Debian or TrueNAS is what I'm looking for. Will this work for what I'll be doing?

How can I tweak the energy use? It's pulling ~12W at idle while the thinkpad was ~7W.

based (I read your post, thank you for replying)

I realise I probably should have said, it's running ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Mostly just being a NAS and qbittorrent box at the moment.

>>106122937
What are you using to monitor power usage? This is why i was bummed my NAS suddenly started needing a gpu to turn on.

>>106122980
>What are you using to monitor power usage?
I'm using a power monitor that goes between the power cable and the wall plug. Gives me the actual real world power draw not just an estimate from the device.

set up truenas on an hp slim desktop. Having tons of fun but has anybody set up syncing your photos from your phone (Samsung) over smb or rsync? Trapped in Onedrive right now just because it has default integration with Samsung gallery

>>106123009
Why not use immich? It seems to be the go-to for that sort of thing. I haven't set it up myself though but I probably will sometime soon.

>>106123020
That looks nice, will check it out tomorrow.

>>106122997
I have a PSU so that can give some better idea but not as good as that, especially with multiple servers

>>106117799
Its actually good. Using it to transfer files to my server on my various devices. Any time I download something on my phone or laptop that I want to "backup" I copy it over.

Got this, with an Intel A310 acting as my plex and Immich server. All the parts but the GPU were second hand for free. I periodically slap another HDD in here when I find a reasonable deal or fill something up. My only issue is that I have a bunch of molex power from the PSU but not standard sata power connectors so I'm having to buy converter adapters. I've read these are potentially dangerous?

>>106121428
no one? ;_;

>>106123256
no one knows what you're trying to ask.
sata is going nowhere and using nvme over usb is probably wasting bandwidth at some point, but you know, these are just buses. they can put some slow ass shit on the end of whatever they want even if the bus is faster.

>>106123285
ok tl;dr

Should I use SATA SSDs or NVMe SSDs for my NAS if they will connect via USB?

Reputable brand names and good models.
For SATA I'm thinking WD Red/Blue, or Samsung.
For NVMe, whatever is the equivalent of ^. Not the chepaest shit I can find, no chinkshit like KingSpec etc.

>>106123321
they're just buses it doesn't matter.

>>106123332
Well then I'm leaning towards the SATA because NVMe supposedly run hot and the SATA will have DRAM while the NVMe (when attached via USB) will have neither DRAM nor HMB.

>>106123342
nta but both are fine really, USB will bottleneck both

>>106123321
here's what you're trying to know

How does mergerfs' balance pool option work exactly? I added an extra HDD yesterday to my pool, and since my two original HDDs were almost full I thought it'd be a smart idea to even the load out, but for the past 24h or so it's been just copying files, and instead of having ~20tb (4 left from the original hdds plus 16 from the new one) I currently have 8.51tb, which lowers with every file it copies
Is this expected, and will mergerfs get rid of the originals once the pool is balanced?

>>106123373
If it matters, this is my current policy

>>106123373
>>106123377
never used mergerfs before, probably wait because what i can tell it just uses rsync, and rsync has a lot of options as to when to delete the originals or extraneous files
--remove-source-files sender removes synchronized files (non-dir)
--del an alias for --delete-during
--delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs
--delete-before receiver deletes before transfer (default)
--delete-during receiver deletes during xfer, not before
--delete-delay find deletions during, delete after
--delete-after receiver deletes after transfer, not before
--delete-excluded also delete excluded files from dest dirs

>>106121619
No bueno.

>>106123456
The command is using is
rsync -avlHAXWE --relative --progress --remove-source-files
According to the log. Guess it is waiting for the balance to finish before removing the originals then?

>>106123321
>>106123342
>>106123368
also, as I was trying to explain, they're just buses
you can buy a nvme drive that uses a sata bus for cheap. although it's connecting to nvme, it's actually running at SATA III speeds, and probably behaves just like any 2.5 sata ssd.
I have no idea if these things run hot, I would never buy one.

Is there anything like lancache for myrient downloads? I guess their use of HTTPS makes that harder

>>106124128
you can't cache https without man in the middling every device with your own certificate authority

>>106105584
same. literally zero problems with it in 3 years.

>>106121428
>>106123321
just buy a nvme NAS/DAS, buying sata ssds seems like a waste of money

>>106105466 (OP)
How much have you spent on this "hobby"?

these plx cards would still work on a x4 electrical slot right?

>>106124647
only 1 drive will get recognized tho

>>106124655
no, this card has a pcie switch so it doesn't need bifurcation in the motherboard

>>106124704
it's the same principle

>>106124710
that doesn't make any sense, the 4 drives are connected to the chipset and the chipset is connected to the pcie lanes
this doesn't split x8 into four x2 for the drives

>>106124796
the chipset doesn't provide bandwidth it just switches lanes and it still has to provide lanes to each drive. It effectively splits x8 into 4x2

>>106123368
>3.5" HDD (SATA)
>200/200
Slowest drive I have can reach 240MB peak and my toshibas get nearly 300.

Anyone remember volafile?
Is there anything like it to selfhost?

>>106124828
no, it doesn't work like that look at the diagram, each ssd has 4 lanes to the chipset
so for example you can have three idle ssd and transfer at x4 bandwidth from the fourth ssd
at full capacity yes, each ssd would transfer at x2 speed but that isn't always the case
