>Are you interested in learning Linux or BSD administration and configuration better. Becoming a systemd expert? Or maybe you hate that shit and want a cozy little BSD machine to run services on and interact with. Or practice more advanced and complicated networking setups.
Finally received the hardware for my home server and linux is installed. I'll have fiber the first week of June. >feelsgoodman.jpg
To secure my server I was just going to do simple stuff. Example with ssh : >only root have administration rights >no root login from ssh >only one group is allowed to use ssh and I filter them >not using the default port
Is doing stuff like those enough or should I learn more about security and have a better understanding of those things ? I intend to use this server for a lot of shit (ftp, media streaming, file sharing, eventually web hosting for some side project, chat/voip server... )
Joseph Perez
what use do you have of this Qt cluster ?
Michael Turner
The server is nothing special, Intel Atom CPU mITX board with a couple of 2TB drives in RAID1 that acts as a NAS and runs any other server tasks I want it to. The cluster is four Orange Pi PCs which I use openMPI to control. I have tried a few things on it, including machine learning but I have round the MPI stuff for python fairly clunky, including being unable to get Tensorflow to compile with it so it mostly just does TN-Grid and Universe@Home computing in boinc. The fan is pwm driven from the host Pi and gets power from the DC jack on the modified USB hub, which was kinda dodgy considering I didn't need to modify the jack at all to get DC out on it, also the USB2 controller chip had died and shorted to ground which is part of the reason why I modified it for my cluster.

New to servers and home networks Where do I start?
If you have a raspberrypi or a spare pc, install a linux distro and get Nextcloud to run.

Set up ssh keys and disable password login. Then none of the things you've done so far even matters anymore
Aiden Evans
Do you know of any free ways to do it? Nextcloud has subscription fees of $2500/yr

The new RockPro64 ARM board bow features a x4 PCI-E card along with DDR4 and a 6 core 2GHz professor. They will probably release 4GB RAM models. The ARM server fantasy is one step closer to happen.

????????????????? Are you an enterprise user? If not:
Nevermind, which is the best CLI partitioning application - fdisk vs parted vs ? GPT vs MBR? ext4 vs ? GRUB vs (U)EFI? Wayland vs Xorg?
I'm literally installing Gentoo for a home workstation. Is it possible to run GNOME with OpenRC? I'd like to omit GRUB, initrd and systemd at any cost for the fastest possible boot process.

Dell T5600s are more common so you might have an easier time getting a good deal on auction.

Cfdisk Gpt Ext Grub Xorg Eudev for openrc gnome
Asher Rogers
Can you assign noshell for an SFTP user? FTP is absolute dogshit, but I don't want people to be able to login using SSH.
Christian Lopez
Thanks for the reply but could you elaborate a little bit on why cfdisk instead of fdisk? What's wrong with cgdisk than? I prefer something like fdisk/parted with flawless GPT support. Also, what couldn't be done without GRUB presence? Wouldn't it boot faster? Xorg is going to be deprecated sooner than later.
GPT + LVM + LUKS + (curses, but why?)fdisk + ext4 (why not something fancy like zfs?) + GRUB + OpenRC + Eudev + GNOME Bingo?

also on that topic, how important is a legal disclaimer on an image hosting website?

I read that it's good practice to "hide" 401 and 403 errors and just return a generic Error page

According to the mobo manual it doesnt matter what slots you put the ram modules in, as long as they are the same size/speed. Idk though, this mobo has tons of bugs and is running v1.0 of the firmware (the only firmware that exists). Time will tell

what are some useful things I can do with an rpi cluster? I built one a while back as a school project, but they told me I could keep it and I really don't know what to do with it now
Alexander Jones
ive been hosting a personal media server on a tower a got from a friend but most of its power is not being used. What are some things I can use it for to make my life better?
I have a spare desktop with 4 gigs of ram. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH IT
Justin Mitchell
Boinc.
Nolan Adams
I like servers. As an aside, does anyone know of better bouncer software than ZNC? ZNC seems to work OK, but I would prefer something that doesnt require or even have that big PHP web interface.
(newbie here) is it possible to setup and run a webserver by only accessing it via ssh? because i want it to run without a screen and keyboard. are there any alternatives to ssh ?
Jayden Long
nice server cluster
Jaxson Price
THIS IS HIVE!!!
Currently running: - Nextcloud - pi-hole - collabora online server - PLEX Media Server - SAMBA Server
I'm waiting for my 18U sysrack enclosure to show up. Once it gets here I'll get my Dell R805 loaded into it and finish building the two other servers I have. Should be fun to run a small windows DHCP and DNS server, a linux mail server and a BSD based virtual box for some internet facing web stuff.
Colton Sanders
Reposting from /sqt/: What have your experiences been like - is it worth it? Any other tradeoffs between the two options I might have missed?
Josiah Thomas
i'm new to this kind of thing so sorry if it's a basic question. i'd like to create a backup media server for all my family's pics and vids and also replace my dropbox/drive. what's the difference from setting up a sftp server or your own cloud server?
Robert Kelly
FreeNAS is pretty fun. I've got mine setup with plex and transmission plugins with a separate jail to play around with nginx.
Joseph Morgan
Sweet. I was thinking this. Do you know any Hdhomerun alternatives that I could get in the UK?

I need mass storage accessible from anywhere, what's the easiest way to turn local nas into a fast cloud storage ?
Eli Hernandez
parted, because no single character command retardation GPT, because no primary/extended memes and less restrictions For a server, btrfs' snapshots might be useful UEFI and EFISTUB kernel, because there's no retardation like >a script (grub-mkconfig) >that evaluates a script (/etc/default/grub) >and adds magic (locate kernel and accompanying initrd by guessing what the filename means, in /boot) >to create a script (grub.cfg) to be evaluated by GRUB Wayland support is barely there, so in that case Xorg
>Wayland vs Xorg? >I'd like to omit GRUB, initrd and systemd at any cost for the fastest possible boot process. It seems like what you'd like isn't actually a home server, or a server of any kind, but a workstation, as you've said yourself. You may find more help in the friendly GNU/Linux general. I wouldn't install gnome if I were you though, and you shouldn't worry about boot times if your system has an SSD.

>is it possible to setup and run a webserver by only accessing it via ssh? Sure. A lot of people run their servers headless, including in OPs pic.
Chase Jenkins
i feel like i've made a huge mistake installing freenas
there's not much to do, ZFS is great but BSD is really limited, and "jails" is terrible
wtf do i do if i want to use ZFS?
Christian Morris
You can use Linux with ZFS.
Henry Peterson
there was a major ZFS bug on linux crashing pools
Juan Campbell
I read that thread, don't update then?

Haven't noticed anything in the last year or two:
Hudson Wood
servers should be technically run headless cause of security issues, and also because it's useless to have a graphical interface. Setting up a webserver is pretty easy
Check for rsync >sftp vs own cloud server FTP means you have a ftp client cloud service is usually through web pages. desu, if it's a personal home server, it will be the same result.
Lincoln Campbell
is it possible to use rutorrent on freenas and how
