Discuss building, setting up your own homeserver and maintaining the services and demons on it.
[Quick Questions Quick replies] Why would I want a NAS/Homeserver? If you ask why then you don't need it.
[I want a NAS/HTPC/Plex what should I get?] RPi3, Asus Tinker or Odroid XU4/HC1.
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.
The fact a pi is even mentioned in the same sentence as a file server shows these threats are a fucking embarrassment. Fuck off

Running my home server using an i7 740qm with 16gb of ram on an itx mobo with a rigged hyper 212 cooler since I had one spare and could use it to cool passively

I'd really like to make a personal wiki myself but they're such a pain in the dick to edit and access on phones.

Would still try it if I were you. Kinda like having a whiteboard at your disposal whenever you need it.
Lucas Rodriguez
What do you recommend? Dokuwiki?
Aaron Lewis
Not the other user. I wanted to set up Nextcloud for that but every guide/tutorial/you name it has failed on me. I would miss having a calendar app.

I went with mediawiki for various reasons. Mainly because it uses SQL server as backend. Dokuwiki uses ordinary textfiles. Both have their advantages. Setting up and maintaining an SQL server can be a PITA, if you're not familiar with it. In that case I would recommend Dokuwiki Otherwise Mediawiki.

what's the easiest way to back up my freenas to s3 with minimal cost? most of my data is just media, never changes, but i also store my working documents and code on there (

Rsync does deltas.
Thomas Peterson
Curious about the wiki. What do you use it for? What sorta pages do you have?
Sebastian Bennett
Do you find the ordroid to be sufficient in power for that array of services? Also do you have it all running in the same os or are some virtualized?

Things I find interesting or helpful. E.g, when setting up my mail server there were multiple websites, resources and tips I had to keep up with. Having all that on one page is very nice. I'm also a bit scatterbrained, so knowing where I was and what I still need to do is valuable to me.
Most services are sitting idle most of the time. The only service that slows it down is the torrent daemon when downloading/uploading multiple torrents.
