Servers

But all the traffic come from you and not a pool of users. VPS provider will know what your browsing and from what IP. Not keeping logs in your server means nothing.

A 500gb system drive and 2 3TB nas drive in raid 1
Right now it's basically just a smb share but when I have more time, I'll try to get freeNAS on there

Connecting together multiple servers at different locations, managing them from any location with the same IP addresses and security without setting up SSL or using SSH tunnelling everywhere. Not sure why 4chin thinks VPN is exclusively a layer 3 proxy for torrents and shit.

A cheap VPS from RamNode and a home fileserver.

Supermicro SC847 running Freenas U2. It's main usage is file storage.

Specs:
MOBO : X8DTl-3F-TM010
CPU: 2x Intel® Xeon® Processor E5645(12M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 6-Core)
RAM : 48GB
PSU : 1400W
HBA:Dell H310 6Gbps SAS HBA w/ LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode
Front Backplane : SAS2
16GB SATA DOM for OS
Heatsink:Supermicro SNK-P0038P 2U+ DP Server Heatsink For LGA1366

I did quite a bit of modding. It didn't have heatsinks since it used passive cooling, so I bought 2 of those. Without worrying about the CPU's overheating, I could then use a fan controller to lower the RPM of the stock 80mm fans down to about 2500 RPM. It's barely audible now and the HDD's still stay under 40C. I'm still in the process of moving all my storage to the server. When I'm done it'll be around 40TB raw.

Is that default email report? That's a lot of RAM too. Are you using dedup?

Nah it's a simple 3rd party script someone made
sourceforge.net/projects/freenas-tempreport/
Emails are only sent if the temps go past a certain threshold.

>That's a lot of RAM too
This is Freenas we're talking about. It eats RAM for breakfast. The general rule is 1GB of ram for every 1TB of space. With dedup, it'd be 5GB per 1TB. I'd need 200GB+ of ram for 40TB, so no unfortunately I can't do dedup.

So you’re using a VPS? $15 bucks a month seems expensive for that.

>cisco
NSA pls stop

this, I thought i was the only one. fuck that.
just get a regular fucking vpn for $5/mo. use cloudflare's dns. flash your router to use dd-wrt or something, and put an adblocker on it. use mega/googledrive/etc for backups.

I'm assuming the $15/mo is mainly because it offers a bunch of storage?

So far I got a raspberry pi 3 running pihole, been playing around with it for a media server, but forked-daapd doesn’t do what I want it to do so I’ll orobbankt just add a samba server to it. I don’t have heavy requirements.

Wow. First I thought that spec would be too much for a simple file storage

Just use an nvidia shield with Plex for a media server. The Shield can act as both client and server. Low power and works really well

so you could use the free as samba?

>vpn _server_ on virtual private server
no, I have a VPN service running on the vps.

encrypting traffic on 4G. I don't use wifi, but I route the data through a more privacy-respecting ISP than my phone provider.

$15 bucks is nothing. I have a job. The most basic setup is about 9 bucks. The physical server is located in Bahnhof's underground nukeproof bunker, the one that hosted TPB and Wikileaks.

>just get a regular fucking vpn
I don't know who you're trying to protect yourself against, but the Snowden leaks and later news revealed that literally (literally) nearly every single VPN provider is "compromised" or "cracked" by gov entities and can be read as plaintext.

>cloudflare's dns
not if you're a friend of privacy

>mega, google
lol no, sorry.

i have pfsense, rhel and windblows server 2k16 with the usual dhcp/dns/ad/ssh/sftp/smb/nginx jazz running in vms on my gentoo tower

Self-hosting a seedbox and samba/ftp server
Costs me about 6€/month in electricity

Synology NAS 8TB in raid 1 purely for data SMB, NFS, SFTP with external access.

Thinkpad T420 that runs a few docker containers. Pihole, ttrss, nginx reverse proxie, radicale, mariadb and dyndns.

Seedbox with plex, a few deluge/rtorrent instances, sonarr and jackett. So I don't have to feed hundreds of peers from my home connection.

Just a VPS runing openvpn to avoid the traffic sharping from my ISP

a home server and some in real datacenters for connection stability and speed

>$15 bucks is nothing. I have a job.
It is considering your use case. I have a job too and those $15 bucks add up especially when you consider all the other online services that exist which have subscriptions too. I guess if it's the only thing you're paying for monthly its nothing

Just a headless PC (fx-8350, 32GB RAM, 1080 ti, 2x2TB HDD + 2x256GB SSD) in a big old full-tower case. One could call it a server, I guess.
It runs Gentoo on ZFS and serves to speed up bunch of different tasks, which my old 1GHz laptop cannot handle well.

I'm buying a server for work and some dude tells me we need an extra processor as a spare. Am I being trolled or is this guy serious?

just a rpi 3 b+ to run pihole at home and do some basic file backup for uni, comfy and simple

did you ask why it was needed?

He is from a software vendor that tried to quote us a server at 3x the price. Dude literally says "if one fails - you can pull the second and insert it in the first and continue on working :-)"
To be fair, I'm new to the field and he's a boomer that works in sales. Surely people don't keep spare cpus right?

A few.
An ancient 1.7 ghz celeron hosting my home file server and small misc linux needs.
Two 1U supermicro servers running OpenVZ that I use for vps hosting for myself and friends. Mostly for web, dns, and mail, irc, drawball.

no they don't, and that sounds like BS. Cpu's don't fail often enough to warrant keeping spares.

Top to bottom: NUC for always on services like ssh pinhole in, vpn, and a personal wiki. Old netbook for local access to the servers below. Old gaming PC that ran Xen for some game servers but is now shutdown. Thinking of making it a steamlink steamer. Below that is HPE with 2x E5-2690s and 80 some GB of ram that runs multiple ARK servers, DnL, CS:GO, TF2, modded Minecraft servers. Has a mix of SSD and rust. Bottom is NAS in a SC847 chassis with E5-2650s and 32GB of ram. 40TB of usable storage with ZFS running ubuntu. Runs plex for half dozen friends/family, crashplan for backup, and a couple little VMs. Enterprise gear is where it's at anons. Cheap and plentiful and oh so powerful (tons of cores, ECC ram). As long as you have a place to put it. It's not terribly loud - you can't hear them in other rooms with the door shut, but I wouldn't want it in my bedroom or living room without extensive fan mods.

a remarkable kind of stupid is the one who thinks he's actually being smart. if you want privacy from the guberments of the world, then disconnect from the internet. you're not protected from anything the way you're on about.

hey that's p sweet

Been meaning to ask this, seems like an appropriate thread. Is it wise to run a single machine as both a network file storage as well as seedbox? Thinking of something like a 40tb machine running a few NFS/SMB shares, which contain files being seeded with a torrent client. Furthermore, could I expand it to also do Plex using those files?

I guess that depends on the perspective. From my perspective if it works and does the job what’s wrong with it? Only thing I’d heavily suggest is not to keep any data on it that you care to keep private or mind losing. Because there is always that chance, unless you are willing to have 40tb worth of backups.

I have the smaller one of these. It consumes like 55w and I can't even fill more than 1 TB of data and I have of interests. It can run vm's and mine as well but not much point in that for me.

Does anyone have a /sec/ dump they could share?

I very recently got a moderately powerful computer for free from a big organization (they were upgrading the workstations, had hundreds of the old ones unwanted and lying around).
At the moment, it's just sitting idle. Aside from wanting to use it for a private site and as a fileserver, I've considered using it as a game server for some friends, and possibly a small-scale public archive of a now missing site.
As I've never run a site before, and I know for a fact that Jow Forums users will be using it, I naturally have some concerns running it from my home. As such, I've been putting off doing that.

Have you created a seedbox with openvpn in a jail? I suck at BSD and never got it working

>a remarkable kind of stupid is the one who thinks he's actually being smart.
>remarkable
your fancy smart quote is actually incorrect. illusory superiority is established to be very common. the moar you know :^)

and by the way: the worlds foremost security researchers and cryptographers still have faith in properly set up systems. they don't share your view. but I'm sure you know better than them. it's of course not like you only think you're smarter than you actually are.

Is it a frontend for rtorrent? Looks pretty cool

Does it have inbuilt RSS?

Poweredge 2300, 2400, ?

Regrettable craigslist purchase from umpteen years ago that just ended up being a dust collector. It's a giant, unruly fucker on casters with nice features like triple redundant power supply, hot swap drives and all that but it's just extremely dated. Used it for network storage for a while and had some webUI'd audio streaming service installed on it but couldn't justify keeping the beast running for that alone.

If I ever squirrel away some proper dosh I'm more interested in setting up modern with dual octo's and plenty of memory for virtualization. Would like to try my hand at some sysadmin stuffs and be able to make, backup, restore, break and kill off machines as I please. Figure out totally headless automatically configured deployment, etc. Pick up on whatever the latest webUI's and such are for keeping track of everything.

My gaming setup is on 24/7 for years on end. My oldest hard drives have around 4000 days powered on time

I have a NAS/media box.
Nothing fancy. Just file storage and movies/music that can be accessed from anywhere in the home (or out of it, if you have the private key for authentication)

I built my own piece by piece. Most recent addition was the Seasonic unit and a 750w UPS/surge protector. I've got a far check coming my way. Thinking of picking up 2 more 8TB drives

Attached: ServerNewPSU.jpg (2048x1637, 1.41M)

Just remembered what it actually is. PowerEdge 4400. Old pentiums in it I think. Still an old heap.

Where/how are you getting the drives?
Also, no rack? come on man

Nah no rack. No need when my old Fractal R5 does it all for me. Rack would just be a waste if space in my place. And I'm getting the drives from Microcenter nearby. Seagate 8TB Ironwolf (non pro) is like $195-$210 brand new there. As it stands I have 2x 1TB, 2x 2TB, and 2x 4TB drives all on their own mirror arrays all backing up to a single 8TB. Figure I can replace all the arrays with just a single 8TB mirror. Probably still keep the 4TB drives though.

yet systems are hacked all the time, and those are the ones we know about. If it's sensitive enough for you not to want it in the front page of the new york times, then it shouldn't be online.

No I believe aria2 is its own thing

>Does it have inbuilt RSS?
Sadly no, you'd have to write a cron job or something similar to do it

Do you guys know if its easy to set up a mumble server on vps?

It doesn't take a lot of performance/traffic/memory right?

rock64
Primary usage is VPN because my phone data provider is more cucked than my ISP. Secondary uses include transmission based seedbox, an always-available "backbone" store for in syncthing folders (I've been meaning to move to a more architecturally centralized solution like nextcloud, but haven't gotten around to it), an mpd stream, and a DNS server.

Old AMD CPU from 2003 as NAS, it's not on all the time, only when i need to access the files bcoz that thing consumes a lot of power.
Also a VPS for email, web server and sometimes xmpp.
Both run Debian, I may migrate the NAS to Devuan because I'm paranoid systemD is an NSA botnet.

Nothing to hide nothing to fear you terrorist. :^)

safer than you, cloudnigger

I rent two VPSes and admin three or four for a small business, myself, and some family members

Right, but where do you live and when are you out of home? Or do you have something to hide?

How much did that cost? All the prices list on the website say $400+

I'm still reluctant to buy a seagate drive, how are they holding up?

It was $564 on ebay. If you find anything substantially lower it will generally be becAuse the backplane is shit.

>I'm still reluctant to buy a seagate drive, how are they holding up?
Buy one with 5 year warranty

I got a 320gb IDE drive from seagate thats still running today

currently at 36.5 TB, runs windows 10 but the server is actually an ubuntu VM, that's the only part partially open to the outside network

No I meant the TrippLite rack cabinet

I've got a 2U 2x2690 CPU 64GB ram and 72TB storage colocated in a data center.

How do you rent storage in a data center?

I don't.
It's colocated, so it's all my hardware. Plenty of shucked WD easystores

The whole "Seagate is bad" meme is just that. A meme. BlackBlaze tested a bunch of 3TB drives in his torture chamber that is the data center and a shit load of em failed. Since then everyone swore off every single Seagate drive.

From personal experience with their drives, I've had zero issues. The 8TB Ironwolf performs very well and runs cool/quiet. I also have a plain 2TB barracuda drive that's had no issues as well. Meanwhile I've had WD and HGST stuff die on me so YMMV. I personally just buy whatever the best price:GB is. I was also considering Toshiba N300 models.

they let you store your hardware in a data center for free?

Ah sorry. This is the exact one I got on Amazon; listing looks like a good deal right now

I pay $60/no for storing my 2U there
I get a thousand down thousand up and 10TB of bandwidth (though they don't really monitor bandwidth on colo's)

The reason Seagate has a bad rep was from an extremely bad batch of 3TB models(forgot the date, around 2011?) Those models aren't in circulation anymore but the bad reputation still lingers.

I've been running a home server for 20 years. The current version has an Intel server board with an X3450 and 18 gigs of ram. It runs a file server, my email and owncloud as well as whatever Linux stuff I need to do, under Proxmox.

There's also a thin client with a low-power Atom that runs my name server, so I can have fancy-pants dns stuff at home. And it acts as a backup gateway in, so I can power on the main server if it's off for whatever reason.

holy shit are you rich

Pretty good price. Damn, I wish I hadn't ordered 4x 4TB's literally yesterday.

No. $60/month isnt too much when you work 40 hours a week.
I host a Plex server on it and get almost all of that back in donations from family/friends who use it

Not to brag but I have 10 different servers at 7 different unique ips ;)
