--> 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 or Odroid XU4/HC1. Odroid upper models has USB 3 and USB bus separated from the Ethernet one.
>B-But muh ARM Then check the onboard x86 like J4105B-ITX, J4205B-ITX or J4205-ITX. All of them have SATA and USB 3.
>What's the best [software] for doing [ask]? Specify you question and elaborate. If you want help put something from your side.
>Which disk is better for my homeserver? Seems like Green WD are not sold nowadays. So WD Reds are okay for the price if you want "NAS Drvies". Otherwise HGST and Toshiba are your friends.
This kind of thread is where people try ideas for servers, so I recently found a p2p youtube called peertube and been perusing their instance framatube.org Would you guys an instance or a node there?
How do I go about getting experience and practice with esxi, vcentre and vsphere in a home environment?
What can I do with the free license?
Nolan Ortiz
The fuck is that? BTFO
Kevin Gonzalez
what's the big benefit over openvpn apart from being less bloat. Or is that it?
Ayden Jenkins
>The fuck is that? A server.
Jaxson Phillips
The fuck are you running in that? Is it working at least? The fuck are you on?
Alexander Rodriguez
It is supposed to handle that kind of operation on a way different way. I didn't search it up for a long time, but I do recall Linus itself saying OpenVPN was a clusterfuck.

>Is it working at least? Does it fucking look like it is?
Lucas Lopez
just install the free version and play around with it, they only lock out high end features like HA and clustering.
read the licensing page
Alexander Long
do you actually use the pi zero for that or just the normal pi?
Nathan Sanders
Are you saying you are running those right now on that thing you showed in the picture?
Connor Davis
When I plug it in to power it will be running those services.

kinda utilisation do you get? install netdata.io if you haven;t already. it's comfy Why you running bloatware deluge on it? no rtorrent?
Josiah Ross
>kinda utilisation do you get? Good question. I’ll check it.
Deluge so I can use the web interface from my PC. This is a headless install and adding torrents with CLI is disgusting
John Lewis
rtorrent has a decent webui, qbit is has a decent webui too but that's bloat as well.
i have qbit on mine with watch folders and use sickrage and couchpotato to auto-snatch and add torrents
Jose Butler
>Deluge so I can use the web interface from my PC Like transmission-daemon, rtorrent. . .
Adam Walker
And also like deluge. I have a solution to my problem and it works.
Benjamin Campbell
dont you want a better one?
Kevin Allen
I hate NGINX.
Jonathan James
It probably hates you too
Colton Fisher
fuck me turns out its illegal to run your own cat cable in australia haha fuck this country
Jeremiah Rogers
I wouldn't be surprised at all. The few times I try to setup something, it worked pretty nice, until it decided to not. And had no fix.
Parker Morales
if I just want to stream media to my tv, tablet, notebook etc, are Synology or QNAP (with a couple of WD Red) enough? sorry in advance for being a noob
Friendly reminder to experiment with the many distros. Dont get stuck with one, try them all.
Jose Price
>Which disk is better for my homeserver? Seems like Green WD are not sold nowadays. So WD Reds are okay for the price if you want "NAS Drvies". Otherwise HGST and Toshiba are your friends.
I have a QNAP with reds plus an ssd for w/r cache. 2 of the 4 nics are teamed 1GB. streaming plex through it is pure ass but if I navigate to the directory and play the media right from it with vlc it's vry gud.
Liam White
So I've got a nice beginners setup. From bottom to top: NAS (ubuntu, zfs on linux, samba, nfs, Plex, crash plan) VM Box (ESXi, gaymen servers right now but thinking about checking out Huginn and maybe next cloud) OldGamingRig (powered off atm since I got the VM Box) 48 port shit switch I got from a dumpster at work (its gigabit, but loud as a hurricane) NUC (outward facing stuff like ssh on non-standard port, openvpn, wiki).
Whats next? I'm thinking of getting into pfsense maybe? Try out security onion?
What're you anons self hosting? Would love some ideas.
is that a compaq rack? I have the same or a similar one, it's nice but no numbered units sucks.
Nathan Murphy
It is a compaq rack. Got it for free from a friend of a friend. Its old (obviously) and beat up, but still does the job.
Ian Clark
I can't close the back of mine with ready rails for dell r610s.
Samuel Campbell
I just took the plunge with ESXi (coming from xenserver). Its comfy. Super small footprint, lots of options for passthru and more or less easy web interface. Highly recommend
William Morgan
Post yer VM's and containers. >Proxmox master race
Jack Ross
ComfyOP, how is the FAQ coming along? Those pastes are in serious need of updating.
Anthony Gray
is the apple time capsule the best used nas I can get for
probably. if you want 2 sata slots or improved feature sets it's going to be more cost prohibitive than sub 100 eurobucks
Gavin Sullivan
I urgently need to replace my temporary nas linked to my router because my ISP is run by monkeys and they sell chinese routers using SMB1
Samuel Rodriguez
do you have a spare pc lying around? what's on your nas, just persnal files or do you have stuff run off it
Robert Cooper
if you are just streaming media, get a WD mybook or summin
William Price
>seagate >into le trash
Jason Martinez
play around with software defined networks, should keep you busy.
Nathan Russell
Nice. I see you've soldered on the GPIO pins. Doing anything with them? I find the idea of running a RPi 0 server very tempting but I can't think of any use for it other than a remote git repo
