--> 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.
>HP Micro Server G10 (File server) Debian sftp for share Duplicati for offsite backups
So due to no longer using any Windows, I've decided to purge samba. I am now using sftp but thinking about NFS. My main focus is security as my home network is not properly secured (shared with idiots).
Any experiences with sftp and or nfs? What about sshfs? share opinions plz and thank you.

Anyone running next cloud with external storage to a nas? I tried setting it up this weekend, but made the mistake of using snap. I wanted to try it out, its nice how its all semi-containerized I guess, but has limitations (such as not seeing the systems php-smbclient).

sshfs is a lil flakey, but do-able. I use it mostly for over the internet. sftp is rock solid, but will suffer from the encryption overhead. I mean, its great for over the net obviously...but do you think someone will attempt to mitm you in your own home, hence requiring that overhead? NFS works great - super solid oldy but goldy.

Jesus man, just go buy a vga adapter! They're like $5. Also, maybe check out an r210ii - they have sandy bridge in them but are cheap as hell. The extra $50 you'll spend on that will be saved in power bills over those older Nehalem procs.
Jonathan Walker
I was going to install centos on a usb drive and use it as my server recovery drive but i may just get a vga adapter now.

How does nfs react to my server booting later than the client?

If I put my computer in a closet does it need ventilation?
Landon Taylor
If it has 2 square meters of breathing air and you're not gaming/mining/compiling java you'll be good. If less drill some holes. If your closet is only a little bit bigger than the PC, drill holes in front/behind of intake/outtake fans.

Hey bud, recently did the same thing. Run sudo nextcloud.export to make a backup of the nextcloud snap (it puts it in /var/snap/nextcloud/common/backup I believe) and copy the folder it creates to your home directory. Then uninstall the nextcloud snap and reinstall with sudo snap install nextcloud --classic to give it access to more of the host system. Then make a new nextcloud admin user and do sudo nextcloud.import /home/user/backupfoldername and it will restore your data & settings. This won't allow you to use the smbclient from within nextcloud, but you can then use smbclient at the terminal to mount a network share locally, and then use the external storage addon's local option to point at your local mount.
I read that they disabled php-smbclient & smbclient within the snap as it was broken on ARM. Hopefully they'll add it back to the snap in the future, but this is a good workaround until then.

hmm not sure as my NAS server is on 24/7. I imagine worst case you'd just have to mount it after the fact (as opposed to on boot with /etc/fstab).
Luke Bailey
Microserver G10 is crap.
Jaxson Campbell
what are some unraid alternatives to linux? im thinking about its parity scheme
Is rPi model B 3+enough for transcoding though ? Seems like it doesn't have nowhere near the CPU requirements listed on plex's website
Michael Jenkins
yeah its garbage for transcoding. Unusable. If your formats align with your player/clients though, it won't matter as no transcoding will be needed. Honestly any old computer from the last 8ish years will work 10x better as a Plex server than a rPi though.

Is the Odroid H2 really an SBC for low end power consumption? Looks like an excuse to shove a full computer in the form of an Odroid.
The thing seems to have and Atom processor so is not an ARM, is it really consuming low power or is just as a power hog as a desktop PC?
Blake Collins
Go ZFS all the way. Its enterprise class parity with massive features. Snapshots, checksumming, parity - only thing it lacks is ability to resize the pool (which is supposedly coming in 2019). You can go EZ-mode ZFS with FreeNAS, but thats BSD. I use it on ubuntu server and it works like a charm.
Gavin Scott
ZFS is great advice, I would however suggest using either FreeBSD or FreeNAS because of better stability.
Andrew Gomez
What can i do with a fuckton of spare processing power+RAM? I've got 64 threads at 2.something GHz with 256GB, currently just running WCG on it for muh good feelings.
Asher Lopez
it also has encryption which linux zfs doesnt have - at least I think this is the case

I run a bunch of game servers on my hardware. See Ark, Dark and Light, 7 Days to Die, CS:Go, TeamFortress 2, Feed the Beast, you name it I'll run it. It makes my friends and wife happy (they don't have to bother with public server, get admin access to the game settings, and don't have to pay $10/mo for their own cloud server).
Aiden Hill
Another option user is to create a vlan just for you. Isolate the idiots onto their own vlan and let them run amuck without concern. You can do this with pfsense or a managed switch.
Adrian Harris
How you liking WireGuard? Been reading about it and looks bretty good. Is it worth the switch from openvpn?
Charles Gonzalez
Is having personalised barcodes with your initials printed as part of the ID - eg bill gates "BG0001" - on your backup tapes for the library to use a sign you've gone too far?
Gavin White
I like the protocol. Simple fast and if configured properly, stable. However it seems OpenVPN is easier to connect to from closed off networks. Also there is no way to log. So not confident about its security. Its also one of the reasons i assume my network to be insecure. i want to know if someone logs on to my network.
I need to be able to access my files from the whole network.

is the state of openmediavault+ZFS has changed or is it still a shitshow like few years back ?
Jaxon Phillips
I use Openmediavault works great, although I use ext4
Wyatt Hernandez
I used it and liked it but I need ZFS.
I currently run a fucked up DIY NAS over Debian (I don't like FreeNAS) which is dying and would like to start over fresh so I'm wondering wheter people are using OMV+ZFS of it's still an unstable worthless combo
Jason Clark
You won't have any problems with it, OMV is basically debian so GNU/Linux kernel and you have ZFS over Linux, a native port of ZFS, here check this
what jxxx board should i use for my 6 drive mini ITX NAS build? (not planning on using pic related just a random image)
looking to use two of these little USB sticks in raid 1 for the OS, which will be OMV. Only going to store media files (movies, tv shows, porn, music, etc) on there
I might also use it as an HTPC to watch movies so I might also need a GPU i guess? can these boards output video in 1080p/4K? does OMV support running media files in K-lite or something?
USB in raid 1 for OS...thats not a bad idea user...I dig it. Not sure you'll want 6 drives spinning next to your TV using it as a HTPC, unless you've got a cabinet style furniture nearby you can stick it in - in which case I'd be sure to check on airflow, as 6 drives will need some air flowing to stay chill (and not reduce their lifespan due to heat).
Zachary Lopez
I don't get the freenasfags either. They love the shit out of it. I found it clunky and not easy to use, even with the gui. I run ubuntu server with ZFS and its comfy as hell. ZFS on ubuntu is rock solid, been running it over a year without any problems, so I assume since its based on Debian, it will be fine there too.
Charles Sanders
why even use ZFS when SnapRaid is infinitely superior for a home NAS/media server
Logan Thompson
Well, I'm not keen on OMV and I never tried FreeNAS, but since I've been reading and watching tutorials about it I think OMV goes more into the home-nas solution and FreeNAS bites more into the business side, imho
