Raspberry pi as homeserver

Ethernet and USB use the same bus. Instant bottleneck 2/10

I have one on our office network. Hanging off a cable. Works great. I use webdav for inter machine ease of transfer. Mapped an external port on the edge router to forward for sftp'ing stuff. Have nextcloud running oas a docker image. Used it to develop python scripts for running against google app stuff. It's dynamite. Other than this the other non-windows I have in the office are VM's; for some reason I prefer this one.

Is there a cheap solution for a home server with reasonable performance?

/how/ would I?
And not just 'download and configure x package', how would I set this shit up myself?

Your old pc, or your main pc if you don't have an old one

It's no different than setting up any other server

But I do. It runs Syncthing 24/7.

...how do I set up any other server? The pi is meant for learning, so I want to use it to learn this shit.

Doesn't transcode video well (not expected, of course). Other than that it works pretty well

There's literally a guide on their site. Maybe you have the wrong understanding of what a "server" is.

plug it in
turn it on
apt install x

Depends what you want it for. Set up a samba share on one for my parents to drag and drop files to. They also have weekly backups to it, and it backs up one drive weekly to another drive in case of failure. It's as fast as they need it to be, doesn't use much power, and it's hassle free once I set it up.

If you need more performance, get something faster.

>apt
lol

i wished DD-WRT would build a img file for the raspberry pic 3 B+ that turns it in to a router client/bridge then i could plug an ethernet cable between my desktop and the raspberry pi and use it like an ethernet to wifi adapter

i tried those USB wifi adapters but they are all shit tier and caused my PC to lock up hard and crash, and the only way out is to press the reset button, as soon as i remove the USB wifi adapter the crashing problem goes away

If you’re on a desktop or any PC really, internal cards are really the only way to go for WiFi

Problem?

What a shitty pc you must have. Format and install a proper os with proper drivers, would 'ya

No. I'd use a board with SoC gigabit ethernet, a SATA connector and possibly USB3.

How well would it go for a seedbox with a wall powered external drive connected? Headless debian with deluge that i can ssh into would be sick eith about ~500 torrents seeding at once

because i already use an ODROID-HC1 that has actual gigabit internet and runs much faster for about $20 more

Anyone here ever set up docker on RPi under CentOS? I've got Cent on my Pi, but the official docker install guide doesn't work, it gives this error:

download.docker.com/linux/centos/7/armhfp/stable/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found

Does this mean there is no official docker-ce package pre-built for ARM?

Limited by USB 2 transfer speeds

>running your main pc 24/7

ODROID-HC1

i'm going to keep shilling this until you retards stop asking

>not

Softiron Overdrive 1000 if you've got the budget.

I put Debian 9 arm64 on mine and attached four SATA drives in an enclosure to a USB3 port and it's been goddamn fantastic. I use XFS on internal SATA for root, and a btrfs RAID10 pool on the externals for data. It all just werkz.

Nextcloud is way too much bloated, if you just want a storage solution, use seafile or even better, syncthing.

BananaPI or any other Allwinner based SBC, works without any proprietary firmwares

Use an old laptop. If you get one with SSD and able to idle without the fan spinning, it's fast enough, silent and still relatively low power. Also it has built-in UPS.

True. But Nextcloud has much more functions. Perfect if you are trying to degoogle yourself

Ethernet over USB 2.0
No SATA
No USB 3.0 port

Nextcloud on tinker board with a 500gb ssd works wonderfully, raspberry pi’s are just too slow and 1gig of ram holds it back

Because it has no SATA ports.

Like? Don't tell me to buy odroid.

>tfw RPi are illegal in my country.

Here's a golden rule.
If it's more underpowered then HP Microserver Gen 7.
It's not worth it.

Wait why?

Because it has less processing power than my phone.

Underpowered in every way.

You’re better off buying a small desktop
Lenovo ThinkCentre M710 or similar

Because it has the magical ability to broadcast FM radio, despite there are several car FM transmitters sold on the market.
They fear it could be use "theoretically" to stage a coup.
My government isn't smart, and no it's not china

What is the going punishment if you are found with one?

Go on eBay and bet an intel nuc or one of those liva PC's. I got an x86 PC that is powered by micro USB for less than $45.

It's just illegal to import it.
You see ordering things online has to be done through third party, if they smuggle something illegal, like dubious electronics, sex toys, etc.
It's confiscated, the third party gets fined and probably some jail time for the guy that ordered it.

Why do you need a home server just put your porn on a usb stick

If I wanted something tiny and low powered, I'd rather get one of those stick PCs powered by micro usb with USB 3.0. at that point.

Quad Core CPUs, recent models have 4G ram 64GB emmc with 128GB+ TF expandability
Some even have ethernet built in along with 2G/5Ghz wifi.

i rather get a used cheap dual core optiplex

Windows only?

My idea for playing with the Pi and other low power laptops/tablets is in case I have a psychotic break and need to relax for 10-20 years. I sell my house, cash in all savings, sell my new car for a used pickup.
Then buy an old house in the country outright, low property taxes, in a state I dont need insurance on my truck, you know those declining type towns. Update the well, septic and put up basic solar panels, batteries and replace bulbs with LED. Go off grid but with enough power for Fridge, Freezer chest, lighting and low power devices. Grow some crops, get some chickens. Hunt some boar for bacon. Got enough movies, shows and books stored to last years. Pay as you go phone with tethering if I need to check with outside world, or stay with my $66/mo currently unlimited all plan.

Most of them have a regular bios so provided that you can get the drivers for them, you can load anything x86 on them, some of them come dual boot with android out of the box.

If you just want to stream files then any decent router with a USB port can do that for you. Get a USB 3 one.

The price bro

i had 3 raspberry pis all running different servers 24/7. a power failure caused one of the SD cards to corrupt. SD cards are the biggest issue here - it's very frustrating to have to re-install everything, especially on an SD card.

i upgraded to an intel NUC (just a cheap core-i3 one) - it is far superior to a raspberry pi in literally every way except price; but in my opinion, the extra cost is definitely worth it.

90ish bux, over 100 and you start getting small boxes like those android tv boxes, around 200 and they start having dedicated or removable 2.5" sata bays.

I have RPi2 set with lakka, for the chemo-kids in the hospital I work in.

>Not having a backup of your setup
You was looking for it

Because I have a Synology NAS for that.
Just werks

I am using it as a print server for my 3d printer and it's awesome. It can be also used as a nice web server. But as htpc or nas, which is how normies want to usually use it, It's useless because it is too slow for that.

I'm planning to.

apt > All other package managers

For now I'm using a 2B+ as a git server, plan on using it as a samba server too.

Apt is easier to use, since it actually has keywords instead of random letters like pacman.

eopkg master race

>dude society look I'm so #aware now xD

Just say the fucking country ffs. I'm guessing some Eastern European country

too slow for on-demand file streaming, built-in options for mass storage solutions are too limited. My use cases are primarily watching high bitrate video from another computer on the same network, the RPi 3B cannot handle this to my knowledge (now serving as a playback device for videos meeting certain bitrate/encoder requirements is another matter entirely).

I wouldn't because it's not powerful enough.
Instead I use two dual socket servers I got for free from work.

You really don't need a lot of IO on a home server, though. And on servers that do need a lot of IO you don't need USB ports, headphone jacks and HDMI, you need Ethernet, FC, SAS, infiniband, etc.

Sex toys are illegal?
North Korea?

Why would you use something as complex as x86 for a low powered device?

Because I'm not poor

I do tho

I know that it's illegal to broadcast FM radio in Sweden but I never heard anyone getting arrested for importing RPi

Muh SATA muh gigabit.

Because those people "disappear"

I think I finally need a home server, at least dhcp.

Just switched provider for fiber and they gave me this piece of shit. It constantly hangs and can't resolve IP adresses for most of my devices.

I'm thinking of setting up some ThinkPad T430 with PiHole and its built in dhcp server.

What do you do with this

Docker Swarm

Yes you are, you're using a low power device.
You're just an idiot who picks a device that sucks at energy efficiency and sucks at performance.

assuming you're talking about resolving DNS names, that has nothing to do with DHCP
honestly dont even use DHCP if you need communication between your devices
also throw away anything your ISP gives you. Always.

mmm nice

proprietary compared to what? the kernel is up on github.

Propietary firmware

Get gud.

You shouldn't use the pi's onboard sound though, it sucks cock. Either get a good USB DAC, an i2s shield or get the sound out of the hdmi.

In my experience I have more luck running pulseaudio with network access even if it's local... Try to put this somewhere in /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1;192.168.0.0/24;10.0.0.0/24 auth-anonymous=1

Run pulseaudio manually (personally I run while true;pulseaudio;sleep 1;end on a tmux session) and put this as mpd's audio output:
audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "thanks lennart"
server "127.0.0.1"
}

Bonus tip, from a linux install you can tweak with pulseaudio remotely on this setup doing
PULSE_SERVER=rpi_ip pavucontrol on bash

i briefly tried using it as a kodi box. it was sort of fucking awful, but i'm chalking it up to me being a retard.
