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.

I set up Yamtrack tracker integration with Jellyfin.
Now when I finish watching any of my backlogged Movie/TV show it will change its status from "planning" to "complete" in Yamtrack. Previously I used Nextcloud tasks to keep track on movies and was manually adding them and marking them as watched.
I've also migrated my games tracking from HLTB to Yamtrack with about 330 entries.

Lol, yes ECC and not "the system says it's enabled", confirmed in-the-wild (corrected) errors induced from overclock. Validation at standard profile otherwise ran without a peep.

what's the usecase for having a bunch of switches and other networking stuff ?

Why not just have something like a Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 for all your networking needs?

At least for home use...
>>
>>108949305
no use case. most of my switches are virtual now anyway. you only need as many ports as you have physical devices
>>
>>108949305
a lot of homelabbers just have a ton of rj45s to plug in because their house has drops to every room and they use poe cameras and access points
vlans are a very nice tool as well

I need to purge a lot of porn off my server is there a good way to manage this? The way I am doing it now is opening a video from the file browser in mpv seeking through it then closing and deleting it from the file browser. This is clumsy for a lot of files is there a better way? Maybe something I can open a folder and delete the video files from inside the media viewer?

you're supposed to get certain specs BTU according to your room size and volume, not just maxx out like that. rip.

I've had two drives die without any abuse. One of them was a 4 TB Seagate IronWolf, and the other one was a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST3000DM001 also from Seagate.

>This is clumsy for a lot of files is there a better way
You could just generate a dozen thumbnails from every video file instead of playing each one, then you delete it based on the thumbnails.
>>
>>108953863
I've only had 2 die, and both took nearly a decade of 24/7 torrenting abuse. They were also external drives, so no real cooling.
>>
>>108952630
>the room gets so cold now that im freezing even with it set to like 78 F
then get a thermostat that actually cuts off power to the unit when it gets cold enough, the built in one sounds like it has a minimum threshold set way too high for your needs. you will lose overall efficiency from the short running times and you will have waves of warm and cold instead of a consistent cool temperature, but at least you will have the final say as to when the room gets cold enough.

or, like the other anon said, just get something that fits the spec.
>>
>>108953937
That would work but I would still have to go in and delete them individually from the file browser. If the program generated the thumbnails and let me delete the corresponding file from the image viewer then I would be in business.

I might just have to delete files using stash it will probably be a little bit better than what im doing currently
>>
>>108952630
people are giving you normalfag solutions but the real solution is to run more servers in there

flint 3 or wait for the 4, or something else with wifi 7?
>>
>>108951384
I think a lot of them bought into a "tech guy" identity but never really developed the skills to actually make the most of that. There was a period where being a tech guy meant buying "gadgets", and you didn't really have to know much about programming or read any documentation to use them, except maybe carry out some arcane button or software invocation in the user manual once at the beginning.
They still hold onto that identity, but technology has largely become more general purpose and more user-customizable, but they aren't actually very good at that, so they use these premade solutions that trigger the "exchanged money for technology" feeling that they associate with their identity.
It's very strange to me. It feels like you go to most selfhosting or homeserver online places and most of the users can't even tie their shoes, let alone tell you anything about how a computer works, but they can list off the specs religiously. They don't know what those specs are for really, but they know they're "better".
They might be able to muddle through a guide, but they don't actually know what any of it does. It's like those arcane invocations they remember from way back when.

The modern day tech guy owns 5 apple products, drives a tesla, and has a dji drone. Maybe if they're supper technical they'll have built their own pc. They learned from Ltt.

Git gud fg1t

Idk probably stop being poor and get drives of the same capacity. Or maybe just take the capacity hit and make the partitions the size of the smallest drive. You can just create another partition with the remaining space on that disk/s and still use it.

>>108953237

Idk but they seem to be the only consumer router that has True wifi 7, all 2.5gb ports, and even a single POE port.

small 3 bed house, maybe a security cam or two, and a SSD connected for network storage. wifi 7 is a must for certain data transfer. considering getting some iot sensors

If you absolutely must run a collection of e-waste that you didn't even burn-in (if you even know how to), MergeFS and SnapRAID exists.

>>108956765
>I'll wait for the 4 then
The Flint 4 isn't out yet but it's been announced
>I wonder why they went broadcom
*Qualcomm. Because it's cheaper, which is a classic Chinese bait and switch after developing brand recognition.
>I NEED Wi-Fi 7
If you absolutely need Wi-Fi 7 and OpenWRT, your only option is the Banana Pi BPI-R4.

power level on opnsense?
>>
wow, i can't believe mods deleted the picture, what puritans
>>
>>108948074
OPNsense is pretty nice, although Unbound on it ran like crap for me (really slow resolution speeds with blocklists installed).

After setting up a separate VM with Technitium DNS server on the same Proxmox cluster, performance is so much better, even with just using it with plain forwarder! recommended to everyone
>>
>>108957308
It's a really solid router, if you can use an Intel NIC. You really need to do a lot of trial and error to get it working and have a deep understanding of networking, but it's a fun experience if you like tinkering and slowly getting your projects up and running from the ground up.

As I said on my previous message though, Unbound in my opinion is not as good as a DNS server as Technitium. I'd use both in conjuntion for the best results.

real networking lets you actually control what's happening

use `find` with `-size` and `-exec` or pipe to `mpv` with a delete keybind in your input.conf. way faster than clicking through each file.

Why? There are more complicated schemes to have redundance with a setup like this. This is all those proprietary systems are doing under the hood.
>>
I hate systemd
The fstab generator generates broken units if you include the _netdev option when the filesystem type implicitly causes a dependency on network-online.target (ex. 9p)
This causes circular dependencies which it then arbitrarily starts pruning, causing things to randomly break
Instead of just realizing "oh hmm I declared this unit as requiring the network to come up before mounting, perhaps I can drop this mount option"
Why the fuck do they even recommend /etc/fstab, when their guidance for programmatically generating mounts is to just fall back to manually defining units anyway
>>
>>108956184
and you only want one access point? i would prefer at least two giving me proper coverage everywhere
