READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server
/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 OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier 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/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.
>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Is there any way to DIY a network speaker like the Amazon Echo/Pop or pricey-as-fuck Sonos?
So far most I've ever seen is by using a Raspberry Pi and a speaker but there's no consensus on how to actually make one because it's surprisingly a niche topic. Seems people would rather consoom, or it's actually difficult to DIY and get satisfactory results.
I only need for the speaker function in order to play music or sound effects through Home Assistant (doorbell/alarm/notification). I don't need it to have microphone or AI or cloud or any of that spyware nonsense.

I've used Debian forever for my mail server, web server and DNS. I tired OpenBSD and loved its simple and traditional design, and philosophy regarding security (I want to protect the security and privacy of the data of my [few] users).
Problem is it feels *too* outdated at some points; filesystem has no journaling (which makes me worried about data loss), httpd doesn't support HTTP/2 or on-the-fly gzip compression (makes everything load a lot slower), and relayd doesn't support ECDSA certificate keys.
If I'm still going to use nginx anyway should I just move to something like Alpine Linux or FreeBSD? How do they compare security-wise?

Not sure if this is a good place to ask, maybe /sqt/ would be better but they're also more retarded. I'm going to be hosting a git server or two and some (actually legal) torrenting stuff soon. It's for my job and mainly for my research (private repos, only on my own servers) and my lectures/lecture notes/slides/etc. (public).
Which git dev platform should I use? I'm probably going to use gitgud, don't want to use github, unsure about others. Any recs? Also, how do I not fuck up hosting my git mirror? Is there a good opsec checklist? You can savely assume that your answering a retard (me).

No familiarity with public git aside from github but:

Why not just use git+ssh+optionally a vpn? Running a whole webpage for personal stuff seems unnecessary. Paswordless ssh is probably plenty safe but with something like wireguard it's as bulletproof as can be.

Do any of you guys have experience with paperless?
I'm finding that getting multiple users working properly is a huge pain because of how it handles permissions. When I upload a document as a user, the document gets processed by my paperless-ai container, but after finishing, all the generated tags/info show up as "private". I have tried playing with all the permission settings available but as far as I'm aware, all this data will always end up as "private" unless I use that specific user's api key in the paperless-ai container, and it only allows you to use one key.
>>
>>108217419
I use it alone as in no other users in my instance and I also don't use the AI stuff in it. IIRC I had issues with permissions when I first started (among other things) that was solved by making a dedicated user for paperless so maybe look into that?

Sonarr/Radarr have their own qbittorrent-nox instance, then for porn and other stuff I want to seed long term I use rtorrent+rutorrent.
For about $5 USD a month my ISP allows me to add a /31 routed subnet, so I use one of the IP's for both qbit and rtorrent, I set it up so that if I accidentally click some skids IP grabber they can't see what I torrent.
Also, iknowwhatyoudownload shows a bunch of random torrents I haven't downloaded, occasionally it shows that I download CP, shat myself when I first saw it but apparently it's because some public trackers add in random IP addresses.
Could also be that their shit just doesn't work considering that it still shows the wrong country for my IPs after 4 years.

So fuck these faggot russkies, their shit doesn't work, they don't even verify data from trackers, and then they give out a list of "pedo ips" on request based on their inaccurate data.

Backup REMINDER!
Make sure all your backups are properly working. Ideally you'll want redundant backups. You'll also want several different kinds of backups. Full incremental image backups for your OS's, specific folder backups and so on. Here are the ones I use.
OS BACKUPS:
Urbackup. You self-host this on your server, and connect it to your other servers/desktops. It can make full image, incremental and file backups. You can monitor the progress via the web ui. I use this to backup all my os's.
https://www.urbackup.org/
WINDOWS BACKUPS:
Veeam. This is specifically for Windows. It's a fail safe incase Urbackup doesn't work.
https://www.veeam.com/products/physical/windows-backup-recovery.html
LINUX BACKUPS:
Elkarbackup. Self-hosted web-ui backup software. I use this to do full image backups of my Debian mini pc. Fail safe incase UrBackup doesn't work.
https://www.elkarbackup.org/
PATH BACKUPS:
Backrest. It's a self-hosted web UI for restic, a popular backup utility with snapshot functionality. Rock solid and has been working without issue for me for about a year now.
https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest
In addition to those, I have cron jobs bash scripts that makes backups of all the data from my docker images. I use TrueNAS for my main server, which already has built-in periodic snapshots. TrueNAS configs are backed up to Google Drive. My OPNSense router config is also backed up to Google Drive.
Remember, backups are your LIFE LINE. SET THEM UP.

>just use rsync, guarantee its 100x better than this slop
the ui's offer ease of use and monitoring.

exactly, so just slap an os on that thing and go do whatever it is you need to. backup your dotfiles if you like, then you can restore the same config on any machine
>people that have their home lab aren't most people
speak for yourself, i just put my files on my homeserver so i can access them from any device without carrying extra storage around. probably almost every homeserver is used this way. chances of both main+backup copies being lost is remote, and the data is not so important that you need to worry about more.
maybe you are exceptional and need 30 backup copies but most people dont

As rood as this is you're probably right. If he actually has been keeping backups as a means of "source control" for an entire decade, then working out exactly what was done between each backup would probably be so much work that at that point, it might not be realizing what the right or wrong way is, but you just cant be bothered to properly migrate a backup method thats been fucked for so long

that is why documentation and doing it properly is so important. else you end up with an unstable mess and brag about it on 4chan. like both amd and intel struggle to keep windows clean. microsoft, intel, amd and nvidia have demonstrated that they can't properly install and remove software leading to unpredictable behaviour with oftentimes the only solution being a clean reinstall of this dogshit os. better do a snapshot of it and keep using it. better change 1000 registry keys that microsoft just changes back because you didn't change them via a group policy. better complain about how windows sucks and microsoft is evil. what an awesome setup. it's perfect for mouth breathers >>108231625

I eat somewhat healthy. No junk food, no alcohol, no smoking either. It's why I can spare some money on this expensive 'hobby'.
Rice, egg and onions sauce is my comfort food. I like simple sandwiches which is canned tuna, mayo, salt, pepper, paprika and chopped pickles. Smoked cheese too if it's on sale. Orange juice since I also don't drink soft drinks except Christmas and New Years.
Chicken is my go to meat. I love pork but don't have it often, same with beef. I don't like fish that much other than salmon, but that's expensive as fuck so I also don't buy that often.
So I guess I eat 'real' homemade food. Nothing sugary except the very rare occasion.

I've been struggling with this for few weeks now.
Basically my ISP is doing some DNS shenanigans, and some websites aren't loading properly for me.
And it's not simple DNS block, since I need to use DoH to bypass it.
Which is really annoying, I tried using overkill solution like ProtonVPN + gluetun but I couldn't get it to work with the free tier.
But I found wout about cloudflare warp which work just fine.
Is there a way to make something like gluetun+cloudflare warp?
Or at least run cloudflare warp in a container and expose that as HTTP/SOCKS5H proxy?
It's annoying since I have cloudflare warp installed in a container with my other application just to get one functionality.

Currently have a set of 4 discs about 10tb each in a 4 bay enclosure
mostly videography/ photography files and a few movies mostly retained for archival purposes
Running windows 11 presently and was curious if raid 5 was the "best" option for combining the discs
should I just keep them separately or would I gain speed/ redundancy with some form of software raid on windows

>Remember:
>RAID protects you from DOWNTIME
>BACKUPS protect you from DATA LOSS
Unironically can someone explain this for me? If you have 4x 1TB disks in RAID10 (or whatever it is that does this) where you get 3TB of storage and the ability to lose 1 disk without losing any data, and in the event of a disk failure you can re-build the array with a replacement disk, how is that not protecting you from data loss? I know having full duplication is a lot more robust like if your house burns down but still.
>>
>>108240058
Say you delete a file. Your raid array happily replicates the change and now you no longer have that file.
Now you decide that you actually needed that, but it's gone. It was already overwritten, so no recovery either. No malfunction occurred, the array was ordered to delete and it deleted. This can happen without your consent too, such as when a vibe coded piece of shit electron app decides to delete the wrong thing.
Now your backups save you.

ffs how can a company like Backblaze whose business is in the cloud storage industry be so incompetent at analyzing hard drives?
# of drives replaced by capacity? [1] OK... but how many drives of each capacity were there? Was was the lifespan and read/writes on each drive?
The tables in their blogs are literal screenshots of some of Excel tables [2] that doesn't allow you to sort by metrics. I haven't seen a data dump for all their data, but it's pretty bad.
I'd be embarrassed if I was a company and these "statistics" were on my website

No. Shucking used to be okay but not anymore. They usually throw low quality HDDs inside. You're paying less for a shittier HDD and in the long run it is better to buy an actual NAS HDD from a reputable brand that lasts long with a good warranty on it.

I don't use it, but it looked like it was going to cost about $3.60/TB/month. I didn't look into how much retrieval was going to be, but it was a lot more. Maybe $100/TB.
My plan for when I do set up an offsite backup is to ask my sister if I can put a server at her house.
>>
>>
>>108240132
Ah, I see. RAID provides protection against a specific mode of failure, while a backup does that and also provides a failsafe for accidents, mistakes, or even deliberate malice.
I'm planning on someday making a photo/video/document/general storage server for our house, this is useful to think about. I could see myself thinking "I just need protection against drive failure, I'll be careful, I won't accidentally format the array" but I've also literally stepped on a laptop before by accident (two actually) and once accidentally stuck my hand into a 4 inch high power CPU fan running at max speed cause it wasn't getting PWM control. So maybe a backup isn't a bad idea, even if it comes with the pain of cutting my available storage in half...

I like how sonarr automatically creates a hardlink and stores the nicely named copy in the folder of my choosing, which is the same I have set up in Jellyfin. I guess I could just make a bash script or something but I also like the categorization and how I can automatically set them up to download better movie/tv versions when they find them and replace them. Torrent RSS can't do that

I want to get a NAS. I'm considering either a custom Jonsbo N6 or a UGREEN DXP4800. I thought I might be able to get a cheaper price for a custom build than the $467 for the UGREEN, but it turns out they're about the same price.
Should I just buy the UGREEN DXP4800?
I think 4 bays are enough. I will run UnRAID. The first drive will be for parity and the other three will be filled with 12TB drives for a total capacity of 36TB.

The server had a sudden power loss under load at first and then wouldn't boot properly anymore. It would POST but when it init'd the GPU (GTX 1080) it would SPL again and again. Swapped in an RX 580 and it booted once but then it slowly lost power, all LEDs started flickering and SPL again.
All components but PSU are known good and were meticulously tested yesterday with the PSU causing SPL when used in another system. The System was tested in multiple rooms with different fuses, so it's not an electrical problem of the building (Germany).
System is this: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/dWsFTm with two differences because PPP doesn't have the components:
>The PSU is 750W
>The M.2 are 2x 512GB Samsung PM991a
The systems pulls over 500W at full Load, I think the caps in the PSU have just gotten too old.

How hard do I push this? The description simply said "computer works" - no mention of a faulty drive. I'd like to keep the computer rather than pay for return shipping, do I ask for a partial refund or new drive? If I open a problem I'm sure Ebay would say to return the entire thing.

I would call his bluff. A drive that is self reporting signs of imminent failure/extreme wear isn't in normal working condition. I've seen lots of drives with much more time on them with no reallocated sectors, more than I have that do in fact. The fact that there are a lot of reallocated sectors isn't an issue because of the number of reallocated sectors, its an issue because some deeper problem is causing sectors to go bad and thus need to be retired and reallocated. It's probably not going to keep working for years. Anybody who knows what's "normal" would know this, ergo at best they withheld information about the items condition and at worst blatantly misrepresented it's condition. Try explaining as much to them and ask for a partial refund, perhaps enough to cover the cost or half the cost of the drive or something. They probably don't want the thing returned or a bad review or deal with ebay getting involved if you escalate the issue, so call their bluff and see what they do. If they don't back down, decide if you want to return it or buy a new drive, or just risk using the existing one and monitor it closely for a while to see if it gets worse, and check to see if it might need better airflow or something.

There was a book I once read called "The Getaway Special" where a guy basically works out how to teleport shit anywhere in the universe (provided there's not too many atoms already occupying that space, as it takes exponentially more power to push more and more out of the way) and now you can use any airtight container as a space ship, from submarines to (new, never used) septic tanks or big water tanks. Just pop an oxygen bottle in and the computer and power source and the device you can build at home using his detailed instructions he publicly released and you're good to go. Eventually they encounter a species of inter-stellar capable (via generation ship) hive-mind butterflies and there's a moment when they want to be extra sure that the french submarine they're talking to is really a french submarine and not the butterflies pretending to be them. To prove their humanity, he asks the crew of the submarine something the butterflies couldn't possibly know, but any human would: "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" (They gave the butterflies an unredacted dictionary, but not an encyclopedia)
