https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Home Server noob here
how do you get around your ISP blocking port 80?

>>106132762
get a ssl cert and stick with 443

>>106130746
Sorry, just to confirm- when you say 'anon' are you perchance referring to me (>>106114124)? Because I'm still scratching my head as to what the manual is trying to say.

Or, different question, is it a bad idea to just buy some cheap 8GB RDIMMs and check if they work?

>>106132797
>buy some cheap 8GB RDIMMs and check if they work?
they dont
just get regular ram, that's what udimm is basically. or keep looking for cheap ecc udimms.

GOOD MARNING SAARS

>>106132797
your processor supports both
your motherboard supports unregistered ram UDIMM, not registered, RDIMM

>>106132797
>>106132925
also, fyi, UDIMM and RDIMM are keyed differently. if it doesn't fit it doesn't work.

wow ai is so fucking zased
/hsg/ anons am i supposed to run l3 between my collapsed core switch and my firewall/router
i am running opnsense and a brocade icx switch rn and for cross vlan traffic it all gets punted to opnsense and i dont really want it to do that but all the l2 gateways live on opensense rn because im not a network engineer and i dont know what the fuck im doing
am i supposed to put all the l2 on the switch and run le from switch to router using ospf or some other routing protocol?

What are my options if I want 3-pin fans that push more air than Gentle Typhoons (D1225C12B5AP-72), but aren't quite as loud as noctua ippc-2000s? I have a server grade motherboard that doesn't like pwm fans, so I'm sort of stuck with 3-pin models.
Any thoughts?

The current fans I have (2x Noctua NF-P12 redux-1300 on the radiator, 1x Dynamic X2 GP-14 for exhaust and 4x Gentle Typhoon D1225C12B5AP-72, 3x for input and 1x blowing laterally on the mobo/bcm) are all collectively silent - I can't hear them through my case. The issue I'm having is I would like slightly better temperature on my BCM - this is all connected to a Gigabyte MC13-LE3.
This isn't critical, but I wouldn't mind a little more noise for better performance, but something as beefy as a single 3-pin Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-2000 pointed at the mobo/bcm generates enough noise that I can hear it anywhere in my small apartment. So effectively, I'm looking for something in the middle between the group of fans I have an the aforementioned industrial noctua fan.

my server runs windows 10 and will never need anything else

>>106132371
Any time a VPN product mentions how many devices you can use it on, they're generally referring to how many instances you can have logged in and connecting through whatever app/client they use for phones and desktop and shit. I don't think that generally applies in any way to if you're just setting up your own connection through something like a gluetun container for example since you're bypassing all their normie UI interface shit, but I dunno they might actually limit like the number of unique connections you're making to their servers.

>>106133981
I see, thanks. I still don't understand how to route specifically Youtube traffic through my VPN on my router(OPNSense) though. You can't just filter IP's because they change all the time.

So far I've managed to setup routing all my traffic from a specific device to ProtonVPN. The next step is having it so only Youtube gets routed

>>106134266
I did this, just zip tied a tiny fan to the chipset on my overheating board. added a few zip tied fans to other heat sinks too for good measure. server motherboards expect a high flow through rate and basically expect chipsets to be passively cooled by the airflow across the chassis

What do I buy to add to my home network now.....
I want to tinker....

Guess I fucked up by creating a 2 node proxmox cluster with the second mini PC I just got. At first it seemed pretty nice to have the unified management interface and easy migration, but then I shut down the second node since I wasn't running anything on it yet to save power and I ran into the issue that the first node stopped working as well. Then I learned about the quorum mechanism and that you really need 3 nodes in a cluster, or a QDevice running on another server. So I figured I'd just "uncluster" the nodes, but in contrast to the couple of clicks it took to cluster them, there is no way to remove a node easily. Turns out it's a bit more complex than that.
Gotta read up a bit on how to fix this and go back to two unclustered proxmox nodes without fucking up the first node.

>>106134722

Can I trust that these aren't fake? https://www.amazon.de/-/en/12Gbps-Controller-Linux-VMware-Freebsd-Default/dp/B0D49WDBVV

I did read that they are often refurbs or just removed from old server blades, but can I trust it to work? I use zfs so I'm not going to use the card's raid controller if it has any.

I have read a lot that chinks will create low quality copies but with an older HBA model like this, can it be genuine LSI?

After playing with proxmox for a week and a half I have come to the conclusion I'm better off using truenas to handle all of my storage solutions on my odroid h4 ultra because all of the plugins will handle general uses for this type of environment. I should buy separate devices to handle other task like my router.

>>106137985
Yea. Although you can virtualize truenas in a proxmox VM and pass the storage to it, the router should be bare metal, preferably

>>106135452

Work redid their networking equipment, I kept all the stuff they replaced. Looks like someone else online in the same boat has managed to pull the password over a uart connection then flash OpenWRT on theirs so I've got a chance

dumb question but lets say i have a pc with 2 ethernet ports, how easy would it be to use the 2nd ethernet port as a hotspot to give a 2nd device internet?

>>106137985

Where do you live? I'll buy your Odroid H4 ultra.

>>106137959

But they are all chinks. I got this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005535054135.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.203f18029IJEwl

It was cheaper on aliexpress but since all the vendors who sell these are chinks, figured I'll just see what happens. Nobody really seems to know for sure if these are bad or not.

>>106138383
pretty sure it wouldn't be too difficult depending on what you're actually running on the machines, but why not just buy a cheap switch?

>>106138426
Dude just order it now from hard kernel before the price increase

>>106132732 (OP)
I'm thinking of getting a cheap DAS and connecting it to a mini PC with truenas on it (in a VM). Is this viable or the USB connection will bottleneck me?

>>106134314
>>106134266
That's the chipset for the built in 50g nic, the chip for the BCM is on the left, right "above" (from this angle) the x16 slot, which is occupied by an HBA.

>>106138552
>$115.00
lmao who fall for these

>>106138609
Then buy a pi and play more for less

>>106138440
i paid $32 including tax for a lenovo branded 9400-8i on fleabay
not worth risking aliexpress tariff BS in muttland. if you're euro then sure. link is dead btw.

>>106138440
also if you bought the 9300-16i instead of the 9305-16i you're a big retard and should cancel immediately. the 9300-16i is two 3108 chips with a pci switch so double the power consumption.

>>106139031

So only the power consumption is bad? I already run two 14700K/128GB servers 24/7. And I grow weed, my lights draw 800W and I just ordered an additional grow tent so another 800W. How much do you think I care about power consumption for a HBA?

I know I'm ignorant in that I don't know these HBA's well but power consumption is the least of my worries.

>>106139091
hint: power consumption directly relates to heat dissipation

I'm beyond confused. I balanced my mergerfs pool after adding an HDD, which broke the hard links of the files that were balanced and remade them as actual files, thus occupying more space. To fix this, I tried this https://trash-guides.info/File-and-Folder-Structure/Replace-copies-with-hardlinks/#without-hash-database_1 using
jdupes -rLX onlyext:mp4,mkv,avi "/srv/mergerfs/big_data/data/torrents/complete/anime" "/srv/mergerf
s/big_data/data/media/anime"
However, for each matched pair the total amount of space on my pool keeps on reducing rather than increasing (I started with 6.864.510.386.176 byte free and I'm now at 6.854.860.296.192 byte)
What the hell is even happening at this point?

If i get refurbished drives and the serial number on the outside doesnt match what OS reports should i be returning them? I didnt think too much of it but saw some stuff about how this is a big red flag of some other issues. They passes long SMART test

>>106139278
>jdupes
I'm so fucking retarded I just deduplicated a 200GB archive of photos last month manually using diff, find, stat and sha256sum thinking the entire time that there must be a tool that does this properly and I literally had jdupes installed on the fucking system KEK

>>106139115

They are in 4U rack server cases with good airflow. It's loud but for sure it's not at least toasty in there. You should hear the channel blowers in the weed grow tent.

>>106139366
>anons if the serial number in the firmware doesn't match the one on the sticker is that bad?
what the fuck do you think?

>>106139646
Yeah, i just dont really want to since i already have the NAS up and running with them. Im not sure if i should just return all 5 and get different drives from serverpartdeals or just the 2 that dont match.

>>106138574
Should I do it?

>>106139366
>>106139776
Why are you buying refurbished drives in the first place?

>>106140060
I hadnt realized they were referbished, but they were $100+ less per drive than any new drives. They are MDD

>>106140060
Refurbished is fine as long as it's being sold by a reputable vendor and that doesn't do this >>106139366

>>106140203
Should i just return all the drives and get some actual refurbished WD or seagate drives or just the 2 that have mismatched serials and keep the other MDDs?

>3 16tb Iron wolf pros

>have to rip open system just to replace this piece of shit

Every time I install a new VM and clone my dotfiles I have to pull down and let install every neovim plugin again, and then if I ever change the config every install has to individually setup the changes.
Can I sync/host externally on one of my servers ~/.local/share/nvim or will the conflicting state make it shit itself?

>>106140254
Honestly I don't think refurbished drives are worth bothering with unless you're buying an absolutely massive batch.
Sure, it's a good way to save some shekels if you want these drives to store shitty data you don't care about (why bother storing such data at all though?) but there's no way to make sure that whatever you're buying has actually been properly refurbished. "Factory recertified" is even worse in that regard, if you're buying them in retail there's a good chance you're just buying faulty drives (previously purchased as scrap by weight) after a quick SMART reset.

>>106139776
I was being kind of a dick earlier but yeah, I would suggest swapping them if you care about the data at all. The drives could be fine but do you really want to risk it? when the serials don't match it's usually because either the controller has been wiped/reprogrammed or the controller board has been swapped from another disk that may have had a spinning component failure. the fact that this was not disclosed just means the seller is running a hdd chop shop. why risk it?

Found a too good to be true listing direct from China for "new" 14TB Seagate drives - they're listed with info for 16TB drives in the description.
Whats the likely hood they're wiped chia mining HDD's vs 1 TB HDD's that've been tampered with?

Bros how do I enable remote access to Jellyfin? I set up Wireguard because it's included in my router and tested it with my phone, it does work but it also gives my phone my home IP. I want it to just make accessing Jellyfin from outside my home possible and nothing else, not let friends and family use my IP adress. Would Tailscale be any better?

>>106141511
you're looking for port forwarding, not a vpn

>>106141511
You can do it with split tunneling which is an easy config on tailscale, but can be done with wireguard too, methinks

>>106141511
a VPN can work in two ways, as a gateway and as just another LAN, depending on how you set up the routes and DNS. You want to use it like an extra lan with only those routes you specify (the local area network for your wireguard subnet)
You will need to make jellyfin available on that subnet if that's your intent, or bridge the wireguard subnet to your LAN without routes heading out your public IP

>>106141417
Look at reviews, especially ones with pictures. Try to identify the drives visually based on things like screw positions, shape of metal parts, shape of plastic parts, PCB size and shape, etc. Sticker shape too. Do they actually look like they're supposed to or do they resemble some entirely different drive model (or maybe even some different brand)?
>too good to be true listing
How good are we talking about?
If it's ~50% of retail price (new) - probably real model/capacity post-chia (20000-50000 power on hours).
If it's like ~5-10% of retail price - definitely empty HDD shell with a USB drive glued inside (small cinder block might also be included for weight).

>Where do you buy harddrive now? Amazon mailed me $500 HDD loose in a cardboard box over 2,000 miles despite originating 100 miles away, after specifically promising not to mail it loose in a box. Half the reviews are reporting drive failure. Amazon edited my 1 star review calling them incompetent to a 5 star review sucking their own dick. Then held my refund money for 2-3 months despite having received the returned unopened HDD in less than 24 hours over night shipped. Lied about when I'll get my money multiple times until the last day I could do a charge back and was literally walking out the door to file it at the bank when they finally sent the money
You know they just resold that drive to someone else who then lost their data. I should have smashed it with a hammer before sending it back

Chink egg has fucked me over before too, selling plastic as metal then wasting 2 hours of my time debating me over a restocking fee for their documented lies

>>106139849
Depends on your use case. If you just want a media server USB will be fine. If you plan on a setup with read striping then it could technically max out the connection, but it's not gonna be a problem for streaming a movie.

>>106141156
Run a full write + read test the day you get it. Run the test a second time if you're really worried. If it passes it'll probably be fine.

I have a shitty intel n95 NUC and a shitty optiplex.
I put proxmox on both, and used that just fine in the past.
I want to get a third machine to cluster them up more easily, and that third machine should ideally be the storage workhorse (starting with something like 3x2TB for example).
Any suggestions for the third machine & the storage system? (I figure just zfs and no hotplug etc, although that sucks a bit for backups).

>>106143112
decide the third machine's role, be it a virtualization host or nas, if virtualization then go proxmox and cluster them up, if nas then use a proper os for it like TrueNAS or OMV/Debian

Anyone actually buy one of those used Epyc combo deals on eBay or Aliexpress? What was your experience with it?

I thought I could end up having both with that third machine, but I guess I can live without a 3-machine cluster.
Assuming the third one ends up with OMV, do you have any cheap rec that makes sense for storage? The NUC I have has been a bit slow when I ran OMV on it in the past so I know I need better than that, but I have no idea what to get on ebay/amazon/etc for a good NAS

>>106143404
>I thought I could end up having both with that third machine
You could, but it's not worth it IMO.
Proxmox is not designed to work as a NAS and while you could virtualize a NAS OS, it's not optimal due to overhead, SMART and stuff (I did that once)
>The NUC I have has been a bit slow when I ran OMV on it in the past
Yup, exactly, virtualized even slower
>do you have any cheap rec that makes sense for storage?
Anons would say a 4-bay Synology but I don't think that's precisely cheap and/or efficient. What I'd do is go DIY with a standard lowend shitbox, say:
>Intel Pentium / AMD Athlon tier CPU
>16GB of cheap RAM
>Branded motherboard with Intel NIC
>Nice PSU
And that's it, the motherboard will come with 4 SATA minimum and that'll provide you up to ~80TB of storage given you buy 20TB drives, plus you have the PCI-e x16 slot if you ever want to expand storage or add 10/40Gbit ethernet

>>106143404
>no idea what to get on ebay/amazon/etc for a good NAS
I've always just took old components from my previous build. modern motherboards and processors have eco mode or let you target a wattage for the cpu so you're not running hot

>>106143512
thanks anon, that should be enough info to figure my shit out

>>106143577
I don't have any spare parts unfortunately, but I'm sure I can find some cheap ones on fb or ebay

Any alternatives to sonarr for anime? I like having OP/ED/CMs and whatnot, but sonarr only works with episodes and specials

what hardware should I get for storing and redundant-RAIDing internet backups? Like a cheap desktop and drive slots?

Also how good are the truenas apps compared to running them through a proxmox VM?

Today I discovered ThinLinc and Thinstation. I am going to put them together with iPXE and a webserver, so I can network boot thin clients and have a proper multiuser multiseat Linux environment. I don't need visual GPU accel besides browsers, the occasional science program, and mpv, so VirtualGL should suffice. (The rest of my VRAM will be thrown at things like AI).

>>106132732 (OP)
Converting an unused food pantry into an area to store my homelab, First step is taking a nearby lightswitch and rewiring it into a outlet.
Then I'll be running ethernet cables to the inside of it.
For ventilation I'm thinking of just cutting some holes in the side of it and running some spare pc case fans to move air in/out, which I'm sure should be sufficient for a small switch and my NAS.

Hello, newfag here. I've been doing casual torrenting using a binded VPN to qBit. I'd like to give back and host some of my own torrents. What seedbox is good for total beginners?

>>106145803

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Why shouldn't I allocate 2 of my cores to something light weight like openwrt with all the bells and whistles and allocate the other two cores of my cpu to other task like dashboards and monitoring software?
People often say it's not a good idea to virtualize router software but wouldn't it just restart on failure?

>>106132732 (OP)
Is there a any media server software you guys recommend?(music, movies, tracking etc)
Particularly something with piracy features built in and metadata?
I want something we can use conveniently from the TV/Phones for the entire family.
Just as convenient as netflix/spotify are.

>>106138576
The problem here is that you've made the same typo twice "BCM BCM" and posted temps for the "BCM57502" temps which IS the 50Gb NIC. You CAN'T get temp readout from the BMC directly.
https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-connectivity/network-adapters/bcm57502-50g-ic
What you want to 'cool' is the ASPEED AST2600 BMC (not BCM). Do you even know if it's hot lol? (they generally don't tend to be)

>>106146112
>Why shouldn't I allocate 2 of my cores to something light weight like openwrt
Because as soon as you want to do VLANs or remotely detailed rules you'll want to kill yourself. Basically if you have the juice for OPNsense just use OPNsense.
>all the bells and whistles
OpenWRT does not have many bells and whistles lmao, it's just better juxtaposed with a typical router.
>People often say it's not a good idea to virtualize router software but wouldn't it just restart on failure?
Yeah it will restart with the right settings, but your up time without issue is going to vastly exceed any stock router/AP combo and virtualization makes management so much easier.

>>106145109

the concept and app itself are great but it's so painfully slow and it's sad there are no other decent alternatives besides tinkering with dozens of packages and config files

I long for the time when this thread was a repository of genuinely insightful advice. Now, it's been reduced to a parade of uninformed individuals mimicking YouTubers who are merely LARPing as system administrators.

>>106148039
Wiser anons probably stopped bothering because the repetition of reddit-tier, braindead questions has ruined the general. It does feel that users were discussing way more interesting and thoughtful things not that long ago.

>>106142441
Ebay. Buy recertified drives directly from the manufacturers page when they have a sale.

Do I really need opensense if my usecase is not a office but a two person home with guest?

>>106148039
I got a lot of advice this sounds like a you problem if you don't try to help. I also see anons talk about systems not parroted by youtubers that typically do nothing but showcase retard tier builds that cost a fuck ton of money.
>>106148143
You can help, with recent events people or now moving to self hosting which means new people need help which is what you want in a thread like this.

>>106149035
i'm not personally familiar with opnsense, but i'd be interested to know if there was a benefit over openwrt

>>106149165
I can't really see one I know vlans shouldn't be a issue if I have the hardware and things like QoS are present including adguard. I have been using openwrt for 5 years now and never had a problem, I just decided to upgrade and build a low power x86 router to handle things.

>>106149194

Does the average user that has no intention of having his network face the outside world other than a VPN need more?

I want to UPDOOT to proxmox 9 so fucking bad even though I know it's probably a bad idea and I don't need it. I don't even have physical access to my server right now and I definitely won't test that my backup work and I'm still 50/50 on updating it right now

>>106141511
I use tailscale and just plug in the computers ts ip (or magicdns name) plus the port into the jellyfin client and presto chango it works (obviously you need ts on the client device and both to be registered into your tailnet)

>>106141518
I heard that's very insecure though?

>>106141620
I will try tailscale although it's difficult to understand

>>106141645
Is there a simple guide for this? I'm a tech n00b.

>>106149842
Sounds good, and it doesn't make the client device use your networks IP adress?

Btw I didn't install docker because I literally don't understand it. I just use my server for Jellyfin, so I don't need it anyway, right?

What would you need something like this for? Arm is sorta interesting but i think it might need more sata connections and an m.2 drive instead of build in memory to be useful here.

You should stick to a vpn like wireguard, if you only have a small number of people. If they can leech off your hard earned media they can take the time letting you set them up for wireguard which you can do while connected to your home network via vpn. Personally I think you should do all of this on a vlan for protection though

So I installed Tailscale on my server + my phone with mobile connection, logged in my phone into Jellyfin with the server IP that I see on the tailscale app (which isn't my server's actual IP address but a Tailscale only one?) + :port# and it seems to work fine. Then I checked if my phone is not using my networks IP adress for everything like it did with Wireguard (see >>106141511) which would be a problem because I don't want to let friends and family use my IP for anything other than Jellyfin, and it seems fine too, my phone's IP is different from my network's.

Is that literally it? All I did was make a Tailscale account and download it on both my server and phone, then copy the adress I see on the tailscale app into the Jellyfin login screen, nothing else. No more funny games? I'm done? I'm free? This is all safe?

Tailscale only routes traffic directly to/from your nodes by default, the rest goes to the default gateway. You can configure an Exit Node to make VPN mode available and that's still opt in per device at runtime. I have my phone use an exit node on a colocated server so I'm not constantly shifting IPs and getting logged out of things when I travel.

>>106152106
>so I'm not constantly shifting IPs and getting logged out of things when I travel.
I'm retarded. Does this mean that Tailscale actually does make my phone use my network's IP address for things other than Jellyfin? See >>106151498

Man reading the wiki and other sources is depressing as fuck.
I just want to run lanraragi, hydrus and maybe one more thing, general OFFLINE storage, no network connection aside from a single UTP cable to whatever is using it currently.
I'm looking at 4 drive off the shelf NAS solutions and they are hella expensive.
Like beyond reasonable with close to 30% VAT too.
I'm just too scared to roll my own as it introduces even more decisions and variables. Not to mention power consumption is a factor.

Do I just bite the bullet and buy some expensive shit?
2x8TB drives and a 4 bay NAS is well over 1000€.
Any of you actually did this? Whats the best off-the-shelf solution for this?
Synology DiskStation DS223j is like half the price but likely dogshit with 2 bays and 1gb ram no?

If this is on-router you need decent CPU power so keep that in mind. With full gigabit over VPN you'll want a newer router like the GL-MT6000 or an x86 CPU with approx 2,000 single-threaded passmark score. Otherwise if you have slower speeds, you can get away with less.
>inb4 passmark bad

Regardless of it being real or not, do NOT buy a 9300-16i, it's just two 9300-8is bolted together, it runs hot because it uses a shit load of power (see; PCIe 6 pin power connector)

>>106139605
Dude, we get it, you grow weed
Perhaps that's why you're retarded enough to argue FOR buying a worse product for a nonexistent cost saving.

>>106153616
You can do split tunneling in the admin web interface. Its in the dns section, and you can specify which domain will be routed through the tailnet. See https://tailscale.com/learn/what-is-split-tunneling-secure-critical-data-vpn
I have it set up so requests on the tailnet are routed to my adguard DNS using my made up domain name.

>>106153609
just from experience I would rather have a router be it's own device, especially if you have other real devices on the network.
if all the downstream devices are also virtual then yeah, that's fine. I do that. But I would not want to take down the entire internet for the whole place just to do something with that server's hardware. has nothing to do with whether or not you can or should virtualize but that it's just smart to not if you don't have to.

Very vaguely, but truthfully, I honestly didn’t have a reason to even care about VPNs until the last several months. By the time I started actually looking into it for my personal use, layer VPNs had come far enough along that I kinda just jumped right for tailscale as soon as it was recommended in /hsg/.
>Wireguard is a fucking cake walk
I should just stop being lazy and at least figure out how to get it off the ground but I’m super busy all the time these days and tailnet lock is super comfy. Is it really something I can swing without buying a domain or opening a port? I would need it to work on my iphone and select a specific exit node on my lan to even consider giving a shit. Furthermore I can’t flash my router, or at least I -think- I can’t, as it’s handed out by my ISP with my apartment. I’ve flashed routers before though.

XRDP is pretty simple for a single node but you have to build the multinode stuff and HA yourself which sucks, and it doesn't integrate as well with VirtualGL.

>>106152272
You should learn networking first, then abstract it away with tailscale. You clearly don't know your shit so please don't use tailscale because there is a whole lot going on underneath that you don't understand.

Laugh if you must, but TIL:
>currentMemory is a manual trigger only
>automatic adjustment of it is left as an exercise for the user
Is there any point in messing with this? The host memory usage seems to depend on maxMemory, even after adjusting currentMemory down. But is that real memory usage (it looks like it)? Apparently even swap is used, but shouldn't you be able to set a combined maxMemory from all your guests to something even beyond your actual physical RAM size?

I didn't know what the fuck you just listed but you can run virtual machine clients remotely, using a dedicated server host with actual hardware passed through.

It's been a long time, but look into GPU passthrough and whatever a remote client would be, remote hypervisor, hypervisor over network

Honestly, you'd be wasting your money buying thin clients for this. You could use trash fund computers from the year 2000

>>106148013
That's pretty low, man
You're just adding even more handlers.

Where do you buy? Some local computer shop that just resells shit they bought off Amazon at exhorbitant markup?
Shartmart? I've seen them receive cases of lightbulbs that were as flat as a pancake, no wonder they blow out in a couple weeks. Wouldn't buy a HDD from them

Earlier this year I saw a http server that served a ton of various internet radio stations via a web UI but now that I have a home server I can't seem to find it anymore, I think it was node.js based. Anyone know it or something similar? Looking to host more fun things for friends.

>>106152410

>>106157141
I already have a stack of scavenged thin clients. Remote VM console clients don't let you pass through physical GPUs, they give you a tiny little video output useful mostly for installing OSes.

>>106157477

modern thin clients are actually pretty powerful on their own. i have a 2014 hp t520 i use as a router and it's a full pc compatible, with upgradable ram, m.2 ssd, radeon graphics... even just a regular standalone netbooted linux install would do for most basic tasks without the need for a server to handle the applications, though you could run some heavier software remotely

>>106145109
>>106160443
Can you explain how thin client is something would benefit for /hsg/

>>106160486
can you explain how it wouldn't? like really, a server's whole purpose is to serve clients, so there should naturally be some talk about clients as well

>>106160495
Got any video to explain those thin clients and what's so great about them.
Because to my understanding it's just low powered PC with low specs that's only good SSH connecting.

>>106160511
yea that's the idea. traditionally a thin client is just enough computer to show applications running on a server instead of itself, like just enough to run X11 or VNC or RDP or Citrix or whatever, but modern ones can get pretty powerful just on their own, so you could do a mix of local and remote software instead, the thin client i have isn't being used as a thin client, just a low power pc running openwrt, but it's very underutilised. it has 4G of ram, a dual core 1.6GHz amd cpu, and just the original 8G m.2 ssd since i don't need more, though it's upgradable. it's overkill for what i'm using it for, but i found more typical "router" hardware lacking. the fastest 1.7GHz quad core arm soho router i could find when i set this up in 2019 just wasn't powerful enough, it also died after a few months probably because i was pushing it harder than it was designed for
for more thin client-ey uses i bet it could run things like sunshine for remote gaming/other applications. i haven't tried it because i need it as my router. also it's over 10 years old, there are even better thin clients than this now

>thin clients
just get mini pcs or rpi's

>>106160559
Then why need a dedicated machine?
Can't you just use any old PC?
>just a low power pc running openwrt

>for more thin client-ey uses i bet it could run things like sunshine for remote gaming/other applications. i haven't tried it because i need it as my router. also it's over 10 years old, there are even better thin clients than this now
Well, sure if you have peripheral around.
That would be nice to have.
But I don't think sunshine/moonlight allow you to have more than single user connected.
It would be nice if there's a way for linux to have multi session support with audio and GPU acceleration.
Honestly this is how I'm using my T60 thinkpad, It can't handle most web sites anymore so I'm using it to connect to chromium container running on my server to do all the rendering and play vidya (90s/00s)
>>106160597
>RPi
Those not only are overpriced and have limited IO it can't even run it's own x11 session

>>106160785
>It would be nice if there's a way for linux to have multi session support with audio and GPU acceleration.
that's what VirGL is for, which anon mentioned. it can do accelerated applications running on a server while being displayed on a remote X11 session, among other uses

>>106160837
>VirGL
Isn't this exclusive for VMs?
It can't run on bare metal.

>>106160847
i think i mixed up virgl and virtualgl. virtualgl works over x11 forwarding

I'm not finding any guides about this

>>106160863
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VirtualGL

>>106160785
>Then why need a dedicated machine?
>Can't you just use any old PC?
sure, you can. the benefit of using a thin client over some random SFF pc is that a thin client is much smaller, lower power, and quieter. my T520 thin client uses about 6 watts and is fanless. it's small enough that you can mount it to the back of a monitor (has VESA mounting holes)

>>106160486

It's because I replied to too many people at once.

Do you guys have any advice on getting some sort of IP surveillance cam?
I just want to monitor my doorway in my apartment building and I can't bother with cables.
Is there any recommended brand/specs or whatever is good?
Or should I get something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRT_CWh58W0
And hope it's compatible with frigate?
Also can you connect IP cam directly over Ethernet to a PC?

I'm stuck, /hsg/.
I bought 15 WD Element 14tb drives from BB.
I really want to do a rack but damn is that shit expensive.

Do I go with a server rack and possibly a disk shelf and pay out the ass for 15 disks running or do I go with a tower build and jam it with as many disks I can? Fractal Design Define 7 XL looks like it can support 18 HDDs and 5 SSDs

>simple shit that openwrt does by default
I think you've forgotten how barren the initial config for OpenWRT is.

>>106175876
Getting used to the layout configuring bridges feel more off the beaten path and troubleshooting DHCP it looks like it really wants to bind itself to ipv6 for some reason which is annoying but with openwrt it was configured out the box and I was able to assign host.

Any opinions on these Alibaba N100 boards with 10 Gb ethernet? For a NAS that will only serve files.
example: https://www.amazon.com/HKUXZR-i226-V-Motherboard-SATA3-0-Mainboard/dp/B0DKBDSG2B
Am I going to wish I had just bought a mobo with pcie lanes?

>>106162227

Nope, it's basically the best purpose-built router for OpenWRT you can buy right now.

Dude, you understand OpenWRT DSA and have dealt with OpenWRT's config shenanigans I presume? I have every faith that you will work out OPNsense kek.

Throughput isn't fantastic but it works for streaming. I will try and get some data on this for you.

Old house, old wiring, I have no idea how stable it is but I don't live in the third world.
>>both need to be on the same circuit breaker
My connection isn't, fwiw.
>>both use the same phase line
I have no idea. I just plugged it in and paired the devices and it worked.

>>106172261
>Isn't there a limitation?
In my experience these things are usually more limited by the manufacturers cheaping out to extreme degrees or being straight up retarded rather than the power lines themselves being the limiting factor.
Thankfully I never had to use them but friends of mine did for years and I can tell you since I saw it first hand multiple times, one batch of adapters from a manufacturer will work and the next one simply won't on the same fucking outlets and phase, nothing changed. QA seems to be a swearword to the manufacturers making these pieces of shit.

>>106176730
>Throughput isn't fantastic but it works for streaming
I truly doubt even 100 MbE can be saturated with simple mouse/keyboard input, right?
>Old house, old wiring
Not really what I mean, but it's not related to being in 3rd or 1st world country.
It's just how electricity works.
You can test it with voltimeter.
Where I live (Australia) so a third world country, voltage fluctuate between 215-250, I didn't notice it at all since most electronics can work fine.
Until I got DP to HDMI adapter and had this weird flickering issues, imagine how I found that was the cause.
>My connection isn't
You sure?
>I have no idea
You must be living in some apartment, so you have single breaker with single phase power lines.
>>106176821
>QA seems to be a swearword to the manufacturers making these pieces of shit.
well that's what I've heard.
I just think there's too much to troubleshoot other than simple adapters.
And apparently electrical noise is a thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScSUvam8aQQ

>>106176867
>And apparently electrical noise is a thing
Oh yeah, again the non existent QA strikes here, noisy lines can work on one adapter set but not another identical one, or it might not work with one manufacturers adapters at all because their standards are too low but will work with another, yada yada.
I seriously recommend avoiding these at almost all costs. Obviously if you're in a rental you're not gonna drill holes everywhere to lay lines but under door flat cables are still a thing. To anyone considering them: Please for the love of fuck don't use powerline adapters.

>>106176953
> but under door flat cables are still a thing
Got any advice?
Cause I can't run cables on the ground since my flooring are ceramic tiles.
>repeater
it's not doing it's job well, since the PC want to connect to the router and not the repeater.

>>106177045
>Cause I can't run cables on the ground since my flooring are ceramic tiles.
You can, it's just gonna look like shit. Alternatively (not ideal but still better than power line adapters) I know there are flat cable bridges (female to female essentially) for running ethernet despite windows and doors, you could use one of those and run the rest of the normal cable along the wall so it isn't so immediately noticeable.

Dunno where else to ask, maybe you guys know:
My mouse scroll is scrolling infinitely in the last scrolled direction when scrolling menus in games like Skyrim, where there is no access to raw mouse input.
I'm house sitting hours away from home and apparently not leaving in a mouse fucks with MMB when remote streaming using Sunshine/Moonlight https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/issues/1873
Is there mouse-faking software I can use that doesn't necessitate reboot?

I use an older build with ubuntu as a nas/server, mostly for jellyfin. Out of the blue it started slowing down to a crawl when having qbittorrent open. I could access the files through samba on my main windows pc no problem but jellyfin would take ages to load, if at all. I also noticed download speeds on qbittorrent were very low. After closing it everything goes back to normal, I can stream without issue.
I have over 1k torrents so maybe it is just qbittorrent jank, but could it be any of the hdds failling? SMART says they're ok but I don't really trust it. Is there any other way to check for the hdd? I'm guessing if it's not qbittorrent it maybe is the OS install hdd.

I dont understand how even with sudo i cant move files with command line. Also based on the amount of time the command is taking it seems like its not just changing where the file is pointing to but actually reading and writing

>>106180318
you should check performance measures like disk read/write, I suspect it's just the sheer number of torrents and how much your disks have to seek to get the data. You might want to see how files are allocated on disk with qbittorrent and maybe defragment it or copy them to another location and back again

>>106182026
you can have ACL on a location that doesn't allow a particular user or group. If it's not the same filesystem then of course mv isn't going to be able to change the pointer.

>>106182946
Ah, i figured if they were in the same pool then that was all that mattered.

>>106183010
yeah, each dataset is a separate filesystem if I recall, that's why you could "defrag" by copying data from one dataset to another like I proposed here >>106182048

>>106183435
So the right way to do this would be to make one SMB filesystem and then just have folders under that? I am replacing these (im the anon that got 2 / 5 MDD drives with wrong serial numbers) so maybe ill do that for the new pool

What's the best way to cool a HBA? Mine is overheating causing zfs read/chk errors under prolonged load when it gets hot. Screw a 40x40mm noctua into the heatsink or with zipties? I don't want a noisy rack chassis with the airflow so is this really the best way to do it?

>>106183585
just zip tie it to the heatsink

Is there a reason to run a dedicated routing OS like pfsense/opnsense/VyOS? I just run Debian and set up the firewall via nftables, dnsmasq for DHCP + DNS, systemd-networking for creating vlans/interfaces, and then I bring everything into grafana/prometheus via snmp for monitoring, but is there any reason I shouldn't be doing this? I've been running this for about 6 months now without any issues but maybe there's something I'm missing.

>>106184295

Sales on network racks when?

I just revived an old 2012 i5 mac mini, put a ssd and 16gb ram in it and installed proxmox. No other server hardware at the moment, overwhelmed with choices on what to do next.
How do people usually access their proxmox vms? Do you remember IPs, use a dashboard, or is there a cool DNS thing I could do, something else?

>>106184295
as long as you like doing it that way there's no problem. you're using all the same software. There's definitely more room for security errors you introduce by DIY everything, but the other solutions have users trusting the software makers too so if you got the balls for it then by all means roll your own routers.

As a starter managed router, I only want to segment a few things so I think this is a good starter, I mainly want a vlan for my generic shit I don't trust and my guest wifi

>>106189758
How does vlan work?

>>106189958
with the help of a managed switch it makes a network that where other devices can't monitor or interact with other devices on the network including the router itself, I think of it like a VM for your network

>>106189958
despite being physically connected to the same hardware, devices are virtually separated to networks that you may or may not let communicate to each other
basically allows firewall rules for devices connected to the same hardware. you could just buy another router too.

>>106190459
A managed switch would be better all things considered they can be had for cheaper than a full router

What are the main security considerations with home server exposed to public internet (but made only for personal use)?
I'm using HTTPS, every service requires authentication.

>>106192245
Check the syslog from the proxmox web ui.If it shuts down without anything in the logs it's probably a hardware issue. Still, make 100% sure it's not a software issue and check the syslog.
