Where are my home server generals?

>the most honest post on Jow Forums

mine isn't much, just an X79 CPU in a weird chinese housefire H61 or maybe P67 motherboard with a socket 2011 wedged in it. I just run nextcloud and a DNS on it atm.

I've been interested in taking the serverpill, but I'm not creative enough to think of why I would need one. What do you use your home servers for?

Bought myself a cleversafe 1440, 48 empty drive bays.
Suddenly realize I'll never need that many drives.

isn't that the BSD testing servers?

I think so, Theo put that up on the openbsd was website. Hardware looks dated.

Holy shit this is the most Reddit looking OP yet

The usual stuff is just putting stuff on it that you can then access from everywhere. Then you can also host some stuff you would usually do online, like instant messagers, streaming, games, social networks, wikis, imageboards... Pretty much whatever you can think of. Email is the one thing that's usually advised against, since it's hard to make every other email server not treat you like spam.

I solve that by using Google (or whatever provider you have) as an SMTP relay.

You can't just call everything you don't like "Reddit". It doesn't mean anything anymore now.

Whatever happened to mastersteelblade

Thinking of using a RockPro64 for my first NAS since it should be low power and has an accapetable NAS encolsure you can buy for it. Any suggestions on where to buy them in the EU that isn't a ripoff? Costs £115 on Amazon UK...

Alternatively, any other suggestions on how to get started?

Mikrotik any good in hms environments?

Right fair enough, thanks user. Since it's so spenny is it even worth considering then? Or, rather, would you say it would be worth downgrading to an rpi perhaps?

If that gets your panties in a twist, wait until you learn about what the name of the CRS line stands for

Relatively nonbotnet, secureish if you keep them updated. Won't turn into an expensive paperweight for not paying the Fee, as the licences are perpetual.

Personally I prefer pfSense or *BSD, but I learnt to tolerate them at work.

>never host a website on your homeserver with a public ip

It basically is a static website, what can go wrong? Bandwidth is pretty much unlimited, went over 1TB / month a few times and ISP didn't complain or reduced speeds.

What's so bad about carpet? this isn't a gaymin PC with a billion multidirectional fans. It pulls air from the front and pushes out the back. If anything the carpet is a shock absorber

Probably he is whining about electro-static discharges. But if the case is grounded I don't really see a problem.

I mean, it's grounded but I have other issues, I have a 20amp psu plugged into a 15amp wall circuit in a cheap apartment
Fuck rules and shit

I hope it trips your circuit breaker if it comes to that... You should check it.

I've got 3 more months here until I'm in a real house with real powah

Is your PSU actually pulling 15A from the wall? Does your shit really use that much power?

This is it. It's just a Z87 system with an i5 4570S. I'm going to upgrade it next weekend with leftover parts from my desktop which I also just upgraded, though it won't be a huge leap. It's going to get some more RAM (even though it doesn't use all the RAM it has now anyway), a 4790K and a Z97 mobo with 2 extra SATA ports and 4 PCIe x16 (sized) slots.

I added a 10G NIC since I took this photo, actually had dropped packets since it was plugged into the chipset PCIe slot and was choking over the shitty DMI link to the CPU. The 'new' mobo will prevent issues like that at least.

Is it better to have a disk spun up 24/7 even when idle, or spin it down when unused (e.g. overnight, etc.)?

I am a server noob just looking into this. I 've worked at places that kept the home share on the network, so that any workstation I logged into I had my home share available. How hard is that to setup for multiple users? What is that environment actually called? Which distro should I use?

It's just $80 for the 4GB version on the pine64 store. It's a gabmle whether you'll pay VAT but even if you do that's another what, £15? And IIRC when I ordered my Rock64 shipping was on the order of $15 too. AmazonUK is a fucking scam when it comes to slightly more uncommon imported stuff.
>downgrade to an rpi
If you downgrade, downgrade to a rock64, maybe a 2GB one. That's $35 and I think it's still got a faster clocked CPU than the rpi4 - plus, did rpi4 finally move to armv8 or are they still on v7? The rockchip is v8.

I think startup/shutdown cycles are worse for drives

I've never done it myself but from background knowledge that uses NFS, should be usable on any Linux OS and possibly and POSIX one that has drivers/whatever for NFS, and I'm almost certain there's a bazillion guides out there on setting it up. I'm pretty sure the server is literally just a server you install like any other server, and then you need to configure the client to mount the network share like a local one.

I've heard that too, but does 1x spindown-spinup really end up being worse than about 8 hours of continuous uptime (assuming purely overnight)? It just feels weird to me that it would be better for a mechanical part to be literally continuously in motion for years, than to spend about 33% of its time at rest.

I wanna setup a home server to setup some kind of VoIP service and a music streaming setup for me and my friends, but I'm worried about going over my ISP's 1TB data cap. What do?

Thanks. I had no idea what it was even called and you have given me a direction to research. Thank you.

I'm a retard pls help: only seeing about 30MBps R/W from my CSE-846 JBOD to my R710. To the best of my knowledge, that's the result of the bandwidth of my single SFF8088 cable being split among 24 drives (6 GBps / 24).

Can I get better speeds by adding another SAS2SATA from the backplane to the HBA in the supermicro, and then running another SFF8088 to the R710?

>entrusting a server on an assrock mobo
go supermicro or go home

imagine running arch as a server OS

I don't, I just have that sticker on it. I use Debian netinst for everything.

I'm retarded, but I'm not that retarded.

Not really unless the array has support for multiple jbod connections. I would pop 2 1tb nvme ssd's in raid 1 and investing in a good UPS for your systems.

Is there a book on learning the basics of servers?

IIRC they did move to v8 with 3b but because they have to support the older ones, the software doesn't support v8

I want to buy a raspberry pi for Pihole and to display Netdata stats for my server. Is a raspberry pi 3 plus enough?

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl#Bonding

Did some of you niggers took the bonding pill and doubled the bandwith of your server on your local network?

My freenas server has bonded NICs, works very well.

Is it 2200W or 4600W?

I'm due to move house just before Christmas and me and the missus are planning to build a file server and bin our shitty 5tb WD NAS.

4x4tb drives is what we've budgeted for, is RAID 5 too risky? Should we be using RAID 6?

Attached: 51SoJzZvfLL.jpg (500x421, 56K)

Nigger, don't use RAID. Do you need to be able to resist a failure in production, or can it wait? I don't think so. Just back it up to some spare disk.

The only reason we're looking at RAID is because a NAS drive we used for Plex broke and we lost 4tb of films and TV that we'd accumulated over a decade. I haven't been able to retrieve anything off of that drive so far and some of it is going to be impossible to find copies of.

I plan to host a imageboare on the upper one and a nas or backup of sorts on the bottom one

How hard is it to get a raspberry pi runnning graphana and whatnot to monitor my freenas server? Seems pretty complex.

>What are you guys storing that necessitates such large labs Vs a cheap $200 Synology
Some want to practice building it, we find it fun and enjoyable. A hobby of sorts, if you will. Some are BSD or Linux paranoids who don't trust Synology l.
>Do you have home businesses or something?
That too

I thought it was a meme until I looked for it. Turns out it exists, but there is one borken word in the ending.

>I solve that by using Google (or whatever provider you have) as an SMTP relay.
Do you have to pay for that?

>4x4tb drives is what we've budgeted for, is RAID 5 too risky?
If you have a PSU, that could be enough. If you're paranoid, you could use one as a hot spare. The rebuild happens right away and you just change the spare.
>Should we be using RAID 6?
Should? No. Would it help? Sure, it would help against a double failure.

2200w

>Nigger, don't use RAID. Do you need to be able to resist a failure in production, or can it wait?
Yes.
My server being down voids the point of having the server. And RAID is a hot spare, so you don't need to be backing up incrementally constantly in order to avoid losing data.
RAID is your first backup. Then you have your backup drives and/or cloud backup.
I know people say "RAID is not a backup!" but they're retarded. It's a hardware backup, a hot spare.

Looking to build a NAS so I can continue to hoard movies.

what kinda hardware am I looking at? Should I just bite the bullet and follow the FreeNas community buying guide?

Cuckcast gives you 2 months to go over 1TB without penalty. If you find yourself going over, then make the decision if you want to shell out for a business plan or the unlimited option.
Technically (not that I agree) you shouldn't be hosting stuff on your residential connection.

America is living rent free in your head.
Meanwhile nobody knows nor cares about your insignificant client state.

Yes, even a RasPi 2 would do what you are looking for. Source: my backup Pihole is a RasPi2 and it doesn't have any problem running at 900MHz.

Ubuntu is fine for a server running znc and transmission-daemon. My media server is running Ubuntu 18.04. It runs a nextcloud server, kodi server, tiny tiny rss server, squidproxy (for apt), and transmission-daemon. I want to transition it to Debian 10, but I just can't justify setting everything up again.

Redundancy isn't the same as backing up. What do you use to back up everything? I've been using DVDs for years but I'm at the point now where it's not a viable solution.

Everything important is on my vps and backed up to backblaze

This is why you use containers like docker

You are absolutely right. I just can't seem to let go of the old ways of doing things.

someone explain containers to me.
