NAS is how most people get into this. It’s nice have a /comfy/ home for all your data. Streaming your movies/shows around the house and to friends is good feels. Repurpose an old desktop, buy a SBC, or go with cheap used enterprise gear. Lots of options and theres even a flowchart. Ask.
/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a pfsense box and configuring some vlans. Theres always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re godtier already? Setup openstack and report back.
>What software should I run? install gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin to replace netflix, nextcloud to replace googlel, ampache to replace spotify, the list goes on and on. Look at the awesome selfhosted list and ask.
>Datahoarding ok here? YES - you are in good company. Shuck those easystores and flash IT mode on your H310. All datahoarding talk welcome.
>Do I need a rack and all that noisey enterprise gear? No. An old laptop or rpi can be a server if you want.
Please expand it, also don't use your real name or any password when you register. Preferable use cock.li or something anonymous. Or just email the admin with the username and password you want.
I'm thinking of replacing my server board. It uses a 10W quad-core Intel Atom at low frequency and that's been fine for my usage, but I'm sick of all the security holes in Intel CPUs. I'd like to go with Ryzen, but I don't need a 65W monstrosity, my current CPU is even passively cooled. What would you suggest? Embedded boards are fine. I'm ignoring Rasppis because they're a bit too low-powered.
Joshua Jenkins
You only must switch your hardware if you run non-trustworthy code on your server. Or other people with access can run code.
It's wise to keep protection on in any virtual environment, because the vulns can let a successful attack on one vm to spread.
Hunter Price
You missed the part about simply not running other people's code.
If you install every docker container off a random github, sure, then you're fucked.
Dylan Brown
No, if something you're running that you trust has a legitimate vulnerability, and it gets your vm compromised, the attacker can use speculative execution attacks to glean information about other VMs and use the information to pwn them too. Granted, it's a small risk, and VM isolation in general is getting difficult to trust.
Noah Brown
Guys I know it's a douche thing to ask for but can any of you intelligent anons look for a server for me on these websites? serverstack.in/towerservers/
I'll be using it mainly for storage, torrenting and jellyfin. My budget is around 50,000 INR Thanks for your time anons
Jackson Morgan
>muh 0-day vuln >I still don't run any random code off the net that could possibly exploit it >suddenly I'm fucked
please go back to until you understand exploitation chains or come up with an attack vector that I do not voluntarily have to install and execute myself
Is there any other way to have something like static IP / external IP other than buying one from ISP? I just want to have FTP access from outside my home network
Jaxson Perry
You could rent a cheap VPS and set up a VPN tunnel between that and your home network
Eli Thomas
What cheap vps do you suggest?
Adrian Sanders
Looking for solutions that wouldn't involve payments, otherwise I would just buy the IP. And to be frank I kinda like dynamic IP for a number of purposes. Would any raspi based VPN solution be possible to just have an IP to connect to to browse files remotely?
Jose Mitchell
Dynamic DNS
Noah Peterson
why not look into dynamic dns?
Jacob Nelson
I'm just learning as I go guys, first time solving this kind of issue
Josiah Perez
I've had VPSs taken by shitty bots who got me with one month old Apache vulnerabilities. These days I run automatic security updates weekly on all my shit, but still lots of applications don't take security very seriously. You're basically only completely safe if you don't have anything sitting on the public internet that isn't covered by automatic updates and a security conscious community. What do you run on your servers? I doubt it's just SSH and static pages on nginx.
All are in docker containers, and configuration is stored outside of the container. Am I reaching endgame? Any tips for improvements? Don't have anything for movies since I don't watch TV that much
Dominic Richardson
learning by doing is the best way! Any problems you run into just think of it as a personal project you don't have to spend time thinking up!
Henry Robinson
So, what's the best way to go for a home server, a big fat (for example) Ubuntu session running everything i need, or a lightweight OS with everything virtualised in containers that i can switch on and off?
William Rodriguez
whatever suits your needs/tastes/desires
Lincoln Ward
If you're running on tiny hardware (really tiny, like a pi or a shitty laptop), just use Ubuntu or whatever. If you're running on anything decent, then you should probably put in the initial effort to get a virtual environment. Proxmox makes it pretty simple.
Christian Hall
>Pi >Ubuntu Just go with fucking Raspbian.
>lightweight I got an Atom-based NUC-like computer, 4GB of RAM, a Celeron quadcore and a 120GB SSD. I'm running four debian VMs on a Centos installation and there's plenty of room for more. Each install has between 150 and 512 MB of RAM and around 5GB of disk space.
James Brown
>Atom >Celeron
Enjoy your zombieload
Thomas Hall
Are you mocking me?
Ayden Cruz
not at all - thats how I learn.
day before yesterday I satrted with the idea 'you know, I'd really like to have my cluster on an isolated network segment' - working that idea and dealing with problems I'm now knee deep in learning virsh and libvirt and sorting out network bridge plumber.
couldn't be happier.
Jack King
Has anyone experience with Chelsio T3 CC2-N320E-SR and Linux (proxmox)? I found some older threads where people where having problems but i'm not sure if this is still the case.
and you're an asshole polluting the thread. hence why page 9 again. this place is just too elitist.
Easton Butler
Thanks for the wishes user. New sticks are booting.
Grayson Hughes
It's not my fault people aren't adult enough to admit I'm better than them.
Carter Phillips
Is there a such thing as an 8-to-16-port gigabit switch with like four 10G-T ports tacked onto it? There's a few (expensive) all 10G-T switches, and of course there's rackmount stuff, but that's even more expensive. And either its all 10G or there's just one 10G uplink port, and it's usually SFP+ instead of RJ45.
