/hsg/ - Home Server General

>>57388731
Mine is just a glorified NAS, mostly. I used to run a Terraria server but none of my friends play anymore.

Also I put it in a cheap Rosewill rackmount case but I've misplaced the picture I took.

>>57388731
Installed Ubuntu on my first server since I don't have enough RAM to run a Hypervisor.

I upgraded a couple of packages on my Owncloud server. It's running alright, but there are some other things I'd like to add to it.

>>57388731
Installed updates, other than that just normal use.

Setting up Atomic Fedora because docker didn't like the network settings on my desktop. Need to learn just enough about it so I can bullshit my way through an interview.

Fixed an issue with my samba config. Re encoded all my midget porn to h.264. Discovered tmux recently and it makes all this crap a whole lot easier.

>Discovered tmux recently and it makes all this crap a whole lot easier.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit liking anything Canonical makes, but I found Byobu a while back, which is basically a nice front-end on tmux. I like it a lot better than "vanilla" tmux

Built some raid, built some raid, copied some files to raid, deduped some files, attached a hard drive to copy some more files.

This shit is a chore.

Any tips for tuning MDADM?

I migrated to a different data center and expanded the storage, then moved my nextcloud install to a new btrfs disk

>>57391183
define tuning. What's the problem here, is performance bad?

>>57391195
How easy was moving nextcloud over?

i didnt do anything, because i run windows servers and they just work

my work is throwing out like 20 dl380 g6's so i will probably take another 2 just for the fuck of it. man there are so many goodies in the datacenter they are throwing out if i wasnt concerned about my power bill i would fill an entire 42U cabinet easily. as it stands this pulls 300w constant which is only likr $5 a month so i am considering adding at least one more esxi host and maybe a hyper-v host, plus a dedicated nas

>>57391310
You're way late on the G6 train. They're completely unsupported, now.

>>57391310
Ayo that a DL260 G6?

>>57391332
>home server
>support

>>57391341
Yes, support in the form of firmware updates has just been ceased.

>>57391332
>torrent support CD because fuck that bullshit about warranty
>update

wooow

>needing to update firmware on something that has been out for so long it's no longer supported

>>57391204
yes, awful. individually the disks write at 130mb/sec. in raid 5 it's more like 30 if I'm lucky.

HP doesn't let you download firmware updates at all without a paid support contract anyway.

>>57391332
thats the fucking point, what is going to be patched that i care about? esxi 6 runs just fine on it

>>57391400
Are you braindead by any chance? the last driver updates for DL360 G6 was literally in 2016 october

>>57391410
You can grab it from their ftp server for free if you are smart enough. A nice loop hole that they have not got rid of yet. If you really care about firmware updates just get a IBM x3650, all updates are still free.

>>57391410
Yea, they built the world's weakest paywall and don't go after people hosting it themselves.
>>57391443
And the support packs come out biannually. If anything important IS discovered (especially in the shitware that is iLO), you're SOL.

>>57391472
Yea i am really gonna use fuckin iLO at home it's not like this 1 server is on my desk next to me

>>57391469
ive got access to some ibm's, never seen them before so i dont know what to look for. my 380 is pretty much completely quiet so that is why i am looking at another. id have to fire up one of the older x's and see how much it pulls and how it idles

>>57391485
Jesus you are a fucking moron. If you people aren't going to do this shit properly why do you bother with this trash?

>>57391310
fuck you so hard right now

>>57391514
I am a moron for not building myself a datacenter in my garden, putting a rack and managed switch in it getting a company to lay fiber to it so i can hang JUST ONE server in it?

How dense are you i got this thing free from my internship

paid the bill

>>57391508
One of mine that is at 100% load thanks to SETI@Home only pulls 300W. That's with dual x5650's, 48gb RAM and 4x 146gb 2.5" HDD's.

>>57391540
You're a moron for taking rackmount bullshit back to your house so it can sit on your desk when you could have just taken an old desktop home and not looked autistic.

>>57391554
Thanks for the opinion piece
I am sure to upvote it

>>57391388
I'm getting like ~350MB/s seq write and ~460MB/s seq read on my 6x3TB mdadm RAID6 (benchmarked with bonnie++, 24GB). Try increasing stripe cache size for RAID5/RAID6, IIRC that made a huge difference for me.

Just got a free R210i. Debating adding it to the proxmox cluster or just running sophos/pfsense.

thats pretty good, ive got dual x5670's with 72gb and 8x300 10k

about 32 vms on this and 8 on my ts140. with everyone on the 380 i am hitting the end of the ram.

with only a couple vm's up it is much more power efficient that i expected, but most people talk about using 2950's and shit which from what i have read is a bad idea

>>57391605
maybe you should have populated it with 8GB DIMMs u fuckin poorfag lmao

>>57388731
Messed around with git daemon configs

you people are all so stupid it hurts.

>>57391600
virtualizing the router isnt a bad idea, you dont even have to pass through the nics

ive got 10 nics on a virtualized pfsense box (because for whatever reason esxi isnt letting me go above 10), and the nice thing is i can basically connect the modem to a vswitch and from there into pfsense so rightnow i have 8 isp ips.

gives you the ability to play around with nat a lot more than normal

If you don't know what to do with a server, then you don't need one. Sick to playing with your cell phone

>>57391710
>you dont even have to pass through the nics
dear lord don't listen to this retard.

>>57391605
Yah I've found most people way overestimate how much power a modern server uses.

>>57391721
but you dont, especially considering i only get 60 down and 10 up so the network cards are not the bottleneck

the single point of failure remains the same regardless

>>57391710
It's a terrible idea from a security standpoint.

>>57391766
not really, guest to host escapes are a prize i will never encounter even with the malware vm's i run, and there are no problems on the wan side.

Fixed transmission on my torrenting raspberry pi.

I also run nextcloud... And plex.

Just got done rebuilding my RAID array after a drive failure. Fortunately I didn't lose anything because I did a manual backup the night before.

How often do you guys run your backups?
I run mine on the 5th, 15th and 25th of each month. Thinking of just doing them daily instead.

>his router can't also run VMs

Picked up a TS140, setup UMS and a few samba shares on a raid so far.

Might spin up a couple vm's later for shits and giggles.

>>57391554

It was free shit, you take it, you dumb fuck.

>>57391766
Unless an attacker has access to the underlying hypervisor what additional security issues are there for a virtualized router?
I'm not aware of anything that wouldn't affect a standard VM anyway.

I guess he got sick of all the people coming on here with "hey guise my mom gave me her old laptop, what kind of server should I make with it?"

>>57388731
Nothing. It sat in my living room all day and did its job, like every other day.

>>57391911
what's the wait on one of those nowadays, and how toasty does it get?

>>57388731
Should I migrate from windows 10 + vmware workstation to esxi?
The host is a thinkpad w520 with 20 gigs of ram.

>>57392812
>what's the wait on one of those nowadays,
No idea, I was #257.
>how toasty
Mine sits at about 68c on the CPU. They have a metal block sitting on top of the CPU that transfers the heat to the case.
