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.
i mean you could try it but why not just use something free

>let me use the version of windows without all the server software how retarded are you
Jackson Harris
doesn't Pro let you install the Hyper-V feature, its not the best use of resources but it should work its basically vmw workstation
Christopher Sanchez
>its basically vmw workstation You dont understand the difference between a type 1 and type 2 hypervisor do you?
>doesn't Pro let you install the Hyper-V feature cant do RemoteFX with non-Server editions
And servers are far more than just a hypervisor
Sebastian Thompson
I do understand which is why i mentioned resource consumption. you can still build out an entire adds environment and then some on a type 2. 'servers' don't need to be hardware

nigger, i am making the case for the other guy and youre being needlessly gay right now

This isn't about my home server, but eh I figure this is a good a place as any to ask this question.
I recently started a new job in IT, and everyone except upper management has the same password, since the CEO needs access to their emails in case of an emergency, I'm still not entirely sure why, so don't ask. Thats about 150 people with the same password.
Obviously this is a major security concern, is there some way to set up a master login on exchange 2016 so the ceo can get into all the accounts? Or some other workaround would be appreciated. I tried to do some research but many of the solutions are outdated
Juan Johnson
Alright, I did a bit of cable management and we are ready to rock! And now let's join our hands in a prayer and hope it won't fry a grand worth of hardware when I turn it on
Who thought that was a good idea? What would such an emergency be? Has any such emergency ever happened?
Nathaniel Morgan
>CEO needs access to their emails lol You might as well just add your CEO to the Exchange Organization Management group at that point, then through OWA he can change the user context and he's into any mailbox he wants without the need for a password besides his own. It's dumb as shit and yeah its a fun audit waiting to happen but all you can do is have a paper trail that you told your immediate supervisor. Don't die on that hill.
faggot
Cooper Bennett
I call bullshit on that, nobody is that stupid
Justin Price
>since the CEO needs access to their emails in case of an emergency
Seems like an enormous red flag to me desu
Noah Phillips
I'm not sure whose idea this originally was, as I mentioned I just started there. I'm not going to delve too much into the company, but an emergency has happened before where they needed access to the emails.
Hm, this isn't unreasonable. Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure this company has ever done an audit, the password issue would have been caught a long time ago then, so im not too concerned with that. I think I'll put together a plan for this and shoot an email to my boss. Thanks user
Tell me about it. I'm still thinking about moving to a more secure job, since its an inevitability that they will get hacked and need someone to blame.
CEO is a genuinely good guy, I would never suspect foul play. I was really sketched out when I first heard about it too
Josiah King
Are you me?
Cameron Nguyen
Right now I only have one drive in my server. As I expand does it make sense to separate the OS and the data I'm hosting?
Anthony Flores
wot
Easton Davis
Oh yes they are. You make something foolproof and the small and midsize businesses of the world will find better fools. Kick over a few rocks and you'll find aggressively stupid things like this in lots of companies.
Kevin Fisher
yes. you might want to backup your OS but not the TBs of data at the same time or in the same backup job

ugh, I check in the archive, I don't get here so often, sorry senpai
James Adams
Planning to use an old 1366 board as a server since I'm upgradibg to Ryzen 2000 series. Would a undervolted l5645 or e5645/49 be good as a cheap low power server if I'm concerned about power usage?
Adrian Rivera
Looking forward to Crashplan home dying so I can stop running a gui on mine. LXDE is nice and all, but it seems like a waste just for the backup software.
Hunter Richardson
what backupsoftware is it?

Nicholas Cruz
all my hard work has paid out feels good not to create one bigass pool
what do you meen separate pools? you can't create a pool out of one hdd, you need at least two plus there a huge advantage in having a single pool which is that i can protect the whole pool with a single parity drive
Samuel Ward
Using Windows on a server is something that doesn't really make sense unless you need something Windows-specific like Active Directory.
Colton Howard
Your server running Windows 10 Pro will reboot randomly to update because that's what desktop editions of Windows 10 do. Just pirate Windows server 2016 or pay for it if you don't want to pirate.
Jordan Lee
Want to potentially begin allowing outside users access to services inside my home lab. Will a reverse proxy on some VPS hide my IP? Is it possible to reverse proxy traffic to a game server and would it once again hide my IP? Latency a major concern in that regard?
