/homeserver/

I run Plex for family and friends. This Christmas I gave out a bunch of those cheap rokus with flex pre-configured to extended family and it was a big hit. On my "compute" box I run game servers for friends. A couple of ARK servers, DnL, CS:GO, TF2, and modded Minecraft. I also run two personal wikis and openvpn. The compute box is a HPE with 2x E5-2690 V1s and 80GB of ram. The storage/plex/crashplan box has E5-2650s and 32GB of ram.

Best way to link two 1tb disks for a headless server? I don't care about non-redundant data loss via disk error, the few important files will be backed up remotely. Just want something somewhat performant.

I remember last thread an user asked how to setup rtorrent + rutorrent. Here's an updated guide:

working on horizontal scaling of a database

Believe me I tried, it's just that I'm new to the whole networking/database thing.
I have to admit it is really fun to learn it though

IRC (i.e. setting up a network) is actually remarkably easy to get into; SSL can be a little tricky (and multiple servers even more so!)... I recommend ngircd for your server.
ngircd.barton.de/
hosting my own email is really cozy... I've almost forgotten how much of a pain setting it up was

I'd like to setup a small, relativly cheap server for storage and light web hosting. What would you recommend that I get?

Is email on a regular customer ip possible? Seems like those IPs are preemptively blacklisted in multiple places.

I use mine as webserver and file server
I'd like to use it as proxy too so I can browse whatever I want at work without having a crippled connection. Any good tool for that ? Some user told me about iodine and sshuttle.

On every place. Incoming is not a problem but to send mail you need a relay host.

this is pretty cool

raid0 is performance with no redundancy. How you implement is up to you. Via software like mdadm or hardware raid card.

Pic related. If you run a general distro, you can do it all with one box.

I've got a webserver, IRCd, Matrix Homeserver, XMPP server, SFTP, MPD and an IRC bouncer.

ngircd (including SSL) was easy to configure, was one of the easiest things to setup on my server.

Not really related to servers, but im new to using linux. How the fuck do I actually check an option? I searched everywhere and nobody fucking explains what keys I can use to check a box. I tried every single fucking key.

THANK YOU. I guess spacebar was literally the only key I somehow missed. I spent a fucking hour trying to find what key to press.

What distribution are you using on you home server ?

the search term you need is "how the fuck do I use a TUI"

Run a Minecwaft server if you have enough dedicated wam.

I use ubuntu for my storage box. 40TB usable across two pools with ZFS raidz1. I mostly use it because its comfy for me and I had issues with some freenas jails when I tried it out last year. ESXI for my compute box - just bought a cheap license to unlock the power - now have a 20 core VM for doing simulation work.

What the fuck do you need 40TB for?

Proxmox as the hypervisor and ubuntu to host everything.

>I had issues with some freenas jails
The only problems you should have is if you're trying to run scripts that need to access or modify anything outside the jail.

90% people with 20TB+ use it for plex. Seems like a waste to me. Just use Netflix already.

LVM stripe

>plex
Even still, why keep multiple TBs of movies you will never watch again? Sure keep some favorites but fuck most of that shit. My plex server hosts ~200gb worth of media, 140gb of that is already hoarded music, half of which I will never hear again.

>why keep multiple TBs of movies you will never watch again?
autism

I imagine for most of these people, they have family/friends who may want to watch it, so that's why they stockpile on everything.

>half of which I will never hear again
Now music is a different story. There's a high chance I'll listen to a song multiple times.

Same with porn. My storage is basically a backup of Gelbooru, nHentai(doujin), music and games.

Watching. I watch a lot, as do my 10 friends and family who stream from me nightly. None of us need Netflix ever again, plus the content will never go away

Netflix removes shit all the time. I don’t. Netflix is losing a ton of movies/tv shows because everyone wants to have their own streaming service (cbs, Disney, nbc and warner). I won’t lose anything, nor do I have to pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services.

Good god I don't know why this took me all day to setup.

I finally have rutorrent +rtorrent working on my freenas server within a jail though.

I honestly thought this thread would die after 10 posts.

Do you guys that all run servers at home have a static IP from your ISP or is there a way around that. My ISP would want an extra $100 a month for a static IP and it has to be a “business” account.

Mines basically static but I don't want my isp knowing I do that shit. So I use a vps thru the Netherlands leaseweb. Set up a VPN with forwarded port and use a private tracker. It's about 5.5 usd/mo.

I have a dynamic IP; dynu.com is useful for updating if anything changes
it's extra money but it's worth it

I just change an MX record to point to our new dynamic ip when it happens, but we usually go a few months before we see an IP change anyways. If it happened more often, I'd likely look for a better solution.

I'm setting up my own homeserver and going with, what I think was, raid 6, or at least something akin to it.

8 drives total which I can lose up to 2 drives at once before full data loss.

mah nigga

I also just put in a new 1TB ssd for VM disks in the last open sata port. and i finally got a VPN lxc container working that I can route traffic through from other devices. networking is such a fucking pain.

Even if you don't pay for static, your IP probably only changes once a year or so.

I noticed this with my last ISP but with my current it seems to happen a little more frequently, and any time I reset the router it changes my IP, which didn't happen with my last IP.

lol. id love to setup a nostalgic dialin bbs. might actually give my bundled landline some use..

True, but a lot of ISPs have a clause in their EULA that says "you may conduct business shit or host anything" with residential accounts.

xampp was simple to setup. its got a straight forward php based admin page. just point to your music directory and it goes

convert your x264 to x265. Keep the same quality but go from 16gb bluray files to 3gb files.

DC

Active directory, DNS and DHCP, go IPv6 only
Virtualize your file server and set up a terminal server as well

I can't commit to buying drives

I'll be primarily storing media, files, might do some virtualization. Have a poweredge t420 with perc h310 and will use RAID 5.

Used SAS drives 4TB cost about the same as used SATA +- $10. New SATA cost about $30 more. Help me decide

I have a server with 24 HDD's in it.
24 hdd x 25 watt per drive = 600 watts.

you have a machine that was designed for the sole purpose of being a heavy use NAS, if you had a real need for it you would not have trouble committing to drives. and you wouldn't be willing to buy consumer grade sata.

Or just not be a fag and store BD rips

enterprise sata drives, preferably 5400RPM. they use less power.

HDDs dont use 25 watts you sperg. My HGST SN200s do but only under a full load.

>if you had a real need for it you would not have trouble committing to drives. and you wouldn't be willing to buy consumer grade sata.
don't be jealous sorry you're poor

I already have 1tb of vm disks on nvme ssds, and more on the OS ssd, so this new drive is just spillover for OS storage on bare metal. I have 18TB in a raid-zfs for everything else so I'll be just fine. I'll never store OS's on network storage.

i have a fully loaded R710 which I how I know you don't have the gumption to fully utilize a T420. only a real data hoarder can.

what’s in those, how much did it cost you and from where? the ones on ebay with 2600k’s or 3770k’s auction for $100+

Is this Wambo?

There's nothing wrong with SATA. RAID is all about making something more reliable than its individual components. If you have RAID-6 or RAID-Z2 and a backup, it doesn't matter how shitty your drives are, you'll be fine.

Do I spend more on less drives now for future expansion or buy 4 lower capacity to use RAID-6 right away?

Yeah but how do you allow remote users to connect to it? I can only connect to it with localhost

If your budget is that low, get two high capacity drives and put them in RAID-1 (mirror).

alright I thought I had it working, because it wasn't throwing errors, but nothing downloads

I forwarded the port rtorrent is using and enabled dht network, but nothing is downloading. no peers show up

guess I'll have to spend another 5 hours googling shit

Attached: screenshot.16.png (985x484, 5K)

Use nmap from another network to verify that port 50001 is open. And make sure your .rtorrent.rc sets the following values:

network.port_range.set = whatever
dht.mode.set = yes
trackers.use_udp.set = yes

thanks, I can't seem to get the port forwarding working for dd-wrt though. No clue why

What's the generally accepted safe size for a drive these days?
I know a few years ago anything over 2TB was like buying a time bomb but I've been out of the loop and I imagine that it's gotten better over time.

I don't trust helium drives because it leaks out over time. Get the biggest non-helium drive you can find. Last time I checked that was 8 TB, but be careful, there are helium 8 TB too.

My 2015 8TB drive's helium level's still at 100%

what, does it measure He content in SMART or something?

Yeah

seriously? pics?

Your setup is inspiring user

To be fair the drive's only got 200h on it, I don't know if He leakage goes up with usage or if it's just a constant over time

Attached: 2019-02-22-021914_637x252_scrot.png (637x252, 18K)

that's pretty cool, but yea, i do wonder if that's just a timer, or if it's actually measuring He levels
guess it depends how cheap the component(s) are to measure He levels

Tested it with another torrent. I can definitely download torrents that have trackers. The ones from nhentai use DHT though, and that requires a port forward. I have no idea why I can't get this shit to open. fuck

Attached: screenshot.18.png (579x326, 11K)

From what the SMART Wikipedia article says it looks like it's actually going off the He level
