I'm wanting to get into this.

If any anons are feeling generous, what would be the best bang for my buck it my budget's $500?

My use case will be setting up a GNU-social server (for my local metropolitan area) and a git server.

What do you anons do about noise, just put everything in the garage or get quiet fans?

>>60950971
>I saturate the FireWire and the built-in 10/100 ethernet card on a single Blu-Ray quality stream.

Bluray is ~40mbps at best, usually 20mbps. How could that possibly saturate a firewire 800 link?

Also a 2009 imac has gigabit ethernet built in

I think you're just making shit up

What are good resources for me to learn about how to get started with servers?

Hardware:

Celery 3.06GHz
256MB DDR
16GB Compact Flash
3 x DVB-S/2 Tuner

Uses:

Serves Satellite TV (IPTV) to the network.

Pros:

All hardware was free expect the tuners and compact flash.

Cons:

Catches fire when descrambling more than 2 channels. Probably uses too much electric as well.

>>60951603
>My use case will be setting up a GNU-social server (for my local metropolitan area)
If you want to host some real service for a number of real people outside of yourself and those in your household you may want to consider some other option than a home server. When you're hosting public services like that you'd normally want to have a serious look at having a decent guarantee of availability and you'll also want to look into security very seriously (hosting a LAN-only server is much less exposed, obviously).

A home just isn't the most adequate place for something like that, you probably won't have any sort of backup in place if there's a power outage, internet connection failure or even hardware failure (as in another system to take over immediately). The whole point of HOME servers is to deploy services which are useful in your home and which take advantage of the environment - for instance file and media servers which are accessible over a very fast local network. Being accessible from outside is just a cherry on top. If your main goal is to host a website meant to be accessible to the general public you should probably look for proper hosting and not a home server.

nginx serves a gateway but only on LAN. It's bretty good and runs off of an old 65W charger, but I run it headless and hit all the rfkill switches as well as nulled the sound cards to save some extra power, but having the head room is pretty nice. Using an old router w/ ddwrt as a switch.

Here's some advice:
You can often get a """"home server""""" running on an older laptop.

This is usually the cheapest option and it provides some of the uptime benefits of what an actual server would have (like built in UPS if you have a functional battery, built in kvm, easily storable, good I/O for expansion).

Ofcourse this might not meet everyone's computing, storage, and expansion needs but it's a good start and is very nice on your electric bill. I don't personally use a laptop but I have seen it as a good solution with other anons in this thread. You don't need a loud expensive vacuum cleaner to get your services and networked storage up and running on a good GNU/Linux instance

Will do. I'm guessing that security is the major difference between the two? OwnCloud that bad?

>>60965837
it's all about personal prefrence.
I would say that nextcloud was created because owncloud was aiming too much for companies than the private user, so devs split up. but if you are happy with your owncloud, keep it. when I was talking about security I ment old installations. it went trough the media some time ago and was related to old Nextcloud installations as well. just check your box on

and you know how save you are

Anyone here have experience using object storage for your home servers?

Like CEPH

I have a Dell T110 i got for free running Debian. Currently with 4x 320GB in Raid10 (H200 card). I have two questions for you expert guys:
1. I want to use it as a seedbox. Where should i store the files i download? New partition? Or new folder at root level like /media? Consider i'll later install kodi on the other machines so it'll take care of reorganizing/reorder files.
2. Right now everything is running on the 4 disks on the H200. The mb has also "normal" sata ports. If i add an SSD and plug it in the mb sata ports, can i use the raid disks on the H200 as storage only? Can i play with cloning partitions or is it better to start off with a clean install of the system? Right now it wouldn't be much of a hassle because i only run ssh and samba on it.

If so which type?
Also why is ecc ddr3 so much cheaper than normal ddr3?

I have the very first msi wind netbook running as a torrent client but whenever I try to play any of the videos on my phone or tablet it's laggy as fuck. How do I make it better? Is it because the cpu is dog shit and I should change it to a better machine if I'm going to be streaming off it?

HDD bottleneck most likely, if you are using plex its probably going to be encoding it.

If torrents are running it eats the HDD activity.

Planning on building a small SAN
- 4x4TB storage
- 128GB M.2 SSD
- 16GB RAM
- 2x1GbE, possibly upgrading to 2x10GbE SFP+ later on
- FreeBSD with ZFS, filesystem exported using NFS (for the ESXi servers) and possibly a nextcloud instance

I have a spare g3258 that I want to use as a Plex server (will usually only be one 1080p stream to transcode, so that should more than enough power). Might add VPN to it at a later time.
Currently using an i7-2600 to do this, but it feels like overkill.

I have been using Ubuntu MATE on my current Plex server and laptop, and want to use something else for this.
What distro would be recommended: CentOS, Debian or Fedora?

probably cpu or connection speeds is bottlenecking, the HDD would only give botttlenecks if it was failing

>>60972951
you don't need the m.2 (nvme) ssd, a sata ssd will be just fine for that

you'll also not see too much improvements in 10GbE unless you're dealing with a large amount of massive files

stop shilling, ryzen does support ecc

are there rackmount servers, that are similar to a desktop case? in the way you can use standard 120/140mm desktop fans, desktop headsinks etc

Hardware:
>mac mini 2014 i5 8GB RAM 500GB SSD

Uses:
>owncloud
>pi-hole

Pros:
>I can store and sync my files securely
>I don't get adverstisements and can block all the telemetry

Cons:
>Fucking macmini randomly overheats once in a while and shuts off when I am on the go so I can't access my files anymore until I'm back home

M.2 is nice because you can find mobos that have it on-board, leaving another drive bay open
10GbE would be just for the same reason why I have a fiber ring through my room, it looks fancy and it's fun to play with it

>Hardware
An old dell inspiron 2nd gen i5 6GB RAM with internal 500GB and external 500GB

>Uses
I have freenas on it and tried plex and all the plugin shit but now just use ftp with one VM on it for general fuckery. Just setup a backup script on my Debian main box that sends all dot files to one dir separate from the entire user directory via rsync and also snapshots with apt-clone. Probably going to just use a very small linux install soon as I don't really need jails

>Pros
Free (gratis)

>Cons
Crashes all the time and the screen on the lappy is broken so it is a pain to work with outside of SSH which I have to because crashes

Not fully though. Any server builder who has critical systems they need to run should avoid Ryzen. It doesn't restart after a double-bit error.

Would a core 2 duo be capable of streaming then? I suppose I can switch it with a T61 I have lying around.

>>60971196
bump

i'm really new to this, so is >>60974687 viable?

>>60974743
certainly more than that atom, but don't think you'll handle more than one 1080p stream

Dual E5-2620v4
32GB ECC Ram
2x 512GB Intel SSD in Raid-1
2x 3TB HGST 7200RPM Sata in Raid 1

Been in my home for 3 months, but my internet isn't that great. Colocating at a datacenter a town over for $69/month with 100mbps unlimited included. Did the math, it isn't that much different in price factoring in my power bill.

>>60974886
I don't download 1080p anyway, mostly 720p yts shit.
