Smart enough? Yes.

Have anything to actually host on a home server? Nope.

>>61331222
So you're telling me you have no important files on your computer? No need for a backup?

Gamer boy, this is the wrong board for you

I have a couple of servers I'd call my primaries - Win2k8 and CentOS. All that's needed.

I do that also with packet tracer and GNS3 (especially for larger networks that would be impractical for a home lab), but I learn faster with the physical hardware. I know it sounds stupid, but I got a lot more out of hands on labs at my college using the actual hardware than the packet tracer assignments.

Just Plex, mang. Hooks up to 2-16TB NASes.

>>61331180
Got 7tb of storage shared using nfs, centralized storage is really nice. Also my server automatically downloads new releases of podcasts and anime so its really convenient.

>>61331749
For the seedbox/sftp server you can just get a standard desktop machine used for really cheap, as long it has a decent enough processor (anything made in the past decade that isn't an atom or pentium) and sata ports you can add drives and serve files just fine.

>>61331981

Why are you running windows on your server? Unless you are running active directory, Linux is better in every way.

>>61331687

I don't run one because my ISP is shitty and the internet drops out at least twice per day, I just rent a VPS.

You're just putting pieces together that were designed by actual smart people. Don't fool yourself.

>>61332294
I don't think I could do it.

I have an emby server, an ssh server, a torrent client, and some IRC and Discord bots.

My "home server" is just an ivy bridge i5 with 8 GB of RAM connected to 16TB of hard drives. It used to my desktop years ago. If I ever want to get files off it I use sftp from LAN, because my internet is far too slow to download anything remotely.

>>61331270

ESXi, PFsense, Debian web/file servers. Plex/Sonarr/Radarr. Most oddball thing is a VM for my parents to remote into and do taxes. I didn't want a dedicated PC just to install TurboTax. Lots of test VM's.

I need to get a H200 so I can run FreeNAS, but I haven't gotten around to it. I have a 2nd Debian file server I run backup's to so I'm not too worried about it, just a bit scared of downtime.

It's nice to be able to VPN to my servers from any internet connection and work on it from there.

>>61332891
For the podcasts I use flexget. For the anime I use deluge and the modified yarss plugin from shana-project.

enjoy your no-tracker prioritization and no unzip/unrar post processing.

I’m thinking of experimenting with an iMac as a server. (I have my reasons.) Before I begin, though, I’d like to know: what, in your collective opinion, is the best method of connecting large amounts of storage directly to it? It has 4xUSB3 and 2x Thunderbolt 2 (Mini DisplayPort).

Back in 2010 I had a server in my room for Lineage 2 for almost a month, because the onliest data center in my town burnt down.

Had to sleep on the kitchen because it was too fucking loud. Also paid a shit ton of money to have 1Gbit/s connection in an apartment.

2x esxi hosts - one's a z800 with 2x old 6 core xeons, 48gb ram, 1tb ssd and 3tb mech but the psu is dying so it randomly resets every now and again. i've downsized my production vms and moved them to a second host until i get around to hunting for a z800 psu or trying to bodge an atx one in.
the second esxi host is an old sff hp with a bentium d and 6gb ram. it runs zentyal in one vm and sonarr, radarr, nzbget and kodi headless in another. it could use a stronger cpu so i've been considering swapping boards (both matx) with the freenas

If you're using a home server to store your shit and backup your data, how do you backup your server? Raid 1?

I have a mikrotik doing the routing/vdsl authentication but I've been considering adding a second NIC to the server and moving that functionality there so I can play with inbound/outbound traffic. I'm aware I can do that without moving the functionality of the router over but it sounded like an interesting thing to learn.

>>61335709
looks pretty comfy desu

>>61332233
nothing wrong with that, im more surprised if you dont need a server for that

>>61335702
Proxmox is KVM which is a type 2, Xen is type 2 as i/o is scheduled through a guest, and qemu is a type 2 as well. They will all have worse performance than a type 1. Although Xen would be the best of the 3. Eitherway ESXi is better than them all because it is a type 1.

open as little as you can on your firewall, ensure everything is always up to date, use fucking ridiculous passwords (run a firefox sync server then you don't need to worry about mozilla getting all up in your shit) and ideally 2fa
>>61334891
all the sick* forks are turd. sonarr and radarr are what you need. if plex is buffering then just trace it through and find your botteneck - is recoding maxing out your cpu in your server? is your bandwidth awful (iperf3 -s on your server, iperf3 -c [servername] -R on your client)

It's not network speed or cpu issues. It something wrong with webplayer it just freezes when playing 4k or actively rewinding on regular 1080p videos. And when it happens it is showing "buffering warning".

Since when being the sysadmin of moms basement was something to be proud of, it's funny that someone actually buys this stuff to home and needs to maintain it and not get paid, kek, you need a real sysadmin job

Is moms basement a company which pays you for this? No. Running stuff like that in non-lab use is just a losing situation, you don't get paid for it like actual sysadmins in their workplaces and you need to even get the hardware yourself. No sane person would want to maintain what you have in home use, it's autistic if it appeals to you to run like a "big company" at home. Get a job or help, this isn't healthy despite being in denial

unless you just keep installing the trial every 60 days, that's $1300 for remote management and a p2v gui. and you'll need another physical box on which to install it.

meanwhile you could be doing all of this for the princely sum of $0 if you were to use esxi, the embedded host client and vmrc

>>61336127
have you got vtd enabled in your bios or is it doing some horrible virtualization-in-software crap? also i trust that you have a reasonably good cpu, enough unused ram and decently fast storage? can i also assume that you're using a paravirtual scsi controller and vmxnet3 ethernet adaptor and you've tested with av on your host both enabled and disabled to guage its' impact?

>>61336278
to be honest, sonarr and radarr initial setup is all fairly self-explanatory and mono runs just fine without any tweaking. radarr is a fork of sonarr so really there;s only one product to learn. sonarr has a wiki and i'm sure you can find plenty of walkthroughs on youtube if you get stuck on anything

believe it or not it doesn't run too badly. There aren't a lot of users. With less than five players it's fine.

I have two servers.

I have some 2004-tier aged parts, and plan to buy one or two 2TB hdds to get me started on storage
I plan to make an Arch Linux server since I have been using it on Desktop for about 3 years but never got around into making a server till now
Is it a good idea, or should I just use something like Debian stable and never get worried about anything?

Currently
R710
Minecraft server, nextcloud, seedbox, plex, random game servers, web site, DNS adblocker, pfsense as a secondary router for my other vms. Currently that's it

>>61331180
Just a file/print server and transmission-daemon
It's an old PC that wasn't getting used for anything else so I figured I'd use it as a home server.
When I have more space I'll put an actual cabinet together for virtualisation as well as storage.

Jesus Christ, I am not even surprised at this point

I'm wanting to build a server to use as a NAS and for simple services like pfsense and SFTP. Is a G4600 on a b250/h250 board okay for this or will I be raped for not using ECC memory? I'll be using 2 6TB drives in RAID1 for basic redundancy and another pair of external drives for local and off-site backup. There aren't any ECC capable motherboards that support Kaby Lake without a BIOS update that I can find.

You should run to the store and get an actual CPU cooler. Then you can run samba or nfs to share files on the network and you could run some download programs like rtorrent and flexget to automatically fetch media.

Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap, yet fast and efficient/stable always-on home NAS setup using an SBC, or is anything under $100 not going to perform well?

I've heard some good things about the ODROID XU4, but it doesn't have to be pic related - it only has USB 3.0 (no SATA), so I'm not sure if that would be a bottleneck.

It would be used mostly for streaming 1080p video to Kodi/Plex and maybe rsync backup storage.

it's literally just a backup and fuckbox, i paid £60 for the 2950 with 32gb ram and £25 + a bit of trecking for the 2650 which still has an ancient 32bit processor. that just runs ws2k12.

I don't even use them, the gen8 pretty much does everything I need with the exception of loonix vm's

Debian 8 on an old p4 with a bunch of old hard drives in a LVM.

apache + mod_dav + mod_davfs + ssl
deluged + deluge-web
each forwarded to my public ip, dynamic dns.

I also wrote a script that runs weekly which downloads and deduplicates highly rated porn pics.

Love this little server. Does the job, it's always on, runs beautifully.

What about KVM? It's essentially a type 1 hypervisor because it turns the kernel into the hypervisor.

Your intuition is correct: having a server got me a girlfriend.

the whole type 1 vs type 2 argument really breaks down since modern "type 1" hypervisors still have a lot of elements of an OS. Im not saying type 1 = type 2, but saying proxmox isnt a type 1 is like saying ESXI isnt when both load up a linux kernel to do their work

I only actually use 4 of the VMS
Freenas has a handful of jails Emby, Transmission Something else... 4x4TB sas drives passed through with Pcie pass-through from LSI controller. MineOS for my brother and his friends. Windows is my dedicated RP box, with all my pr0n and keeps the logs nice and tidy. And OPEN VPN is just an appliance, literally just running the open vpn service.

I have a full 10 rack sever running at home with over 100 TB of storage for Plex.

It's extremely improbable due to the fact they redundantly store your data on multiple servers in different locations and jurisdictions.
A home server is in only one location, therefore much more probable.

Fuck, my server kinda just sits in my basement humming along, anyhow I just checked and my 9TB data volume is showing like under 200GB free. Sigh, I was hoping it'd be like 2019 till I had to add more storage. Oh well time to break out a pair of old 2TB drives to use short term

>14 TiB storage
>Fractal Design R4
Kind of regret putting it in a desktop case. I wanted it for high drive capacity and the potential to upgrade later, but now I wish I had just dropped the money on a rack.
How do you brehs backup your NAS servers? I'm using about 3.5 TiB right now, only some of which is backed up on another disk somewhere. I've thought about building a second server (hopefully in a rack this time) and mirroring it, but that's another significant investment. Offsite might be ideal, but shit bandwidth means it'll take me weeks/a month to upload the data I already have.

>>61345647
>Hmm wouldn't it be nice if I could stream those with something like Plex

obviously he's going to need a more powerful computer if he wants to stream something. anon asked for remote file storage not streaming

>>61347262
Yea and my post said that if down the road if he wanted to add more capabilities he couldn't.

It's nice you quote half of my post and clearly didn't read the first half

>>61347205
I currently backup my main storage to a second identical pair of drives with rsync. It's not ideal, but it is what I have right now. If I have an accident, or get a cryptolocker, I'm still screwed.

My plans are to use all four of my current drives in a zfs pool made out of two mirrored vdevs, and get a second server using my old drives as an offline backup. I'll probably just get a microserver gen8 once they're discounted some more.

>>61347205
I use Macrium Reflect V6 Server Ed for backup tasks. Supports Dynamic/GPT/MBR/NTFS/FAT/Ext 3/4/and Raid volumes. Full Disk images, cloneing or file/folder backups are available. Can also be used to restore server os drive if it crashes.

>>61331180
>So tell me /g/, what do you have running on your home server?
Home servers are a meme.

>>61331180
The average 12 year old can watch a yewtoob video and set one up you little cuck. 1 of every 20 users likely require one. Find something better to do like developed marketable job skills.

Looking at building a ~16 TB NAS. Are NAS hard drives just a meme, or are they worth the extra cost?

>>61347205
just buy more drive cages and mount them with zip ties.
You can easily add in 2 more cages and that will cost 1/4 of most of the high capacity server cases and still get you most of the slots

>you whole family is nearly botnet free? How did you manage that? No women around?
Yes. About as botnet free one can get without ditching smartphones altogether. All our phones are unlocked models and never have any Google app or service installed. Apps that require play services we can use microg which is an open source alternative. Messenger wise we use Wire. All other needs are taken care of by the home server. Gaming isn't really necessary since each kid has their own 3dsxl with homebrew and msd full of roms and emulators. I tried the phone emulation which worked fine on my Zenfone 2 but the kiddos (different phones) didn't care for it. Home console is still a wii softmodded with external drive with all the games they want. Doubt we'll buy another console ever again. Kids each have their own gaming rig anyways (all six are i7 4770 16gb ram) GPU's vary like 7950 old as hell to 960's etc. Anyways I needed a woman to create the children since artificial wombs weren't a thing yet. Shame I'm going to miss out on the new artifical waifu era.

>>61347755
NAS drives are rated for more wear and tear. You probably won't ever notice the difference though. Shuck the 8tb WD Easystore external hdds. They have WD reds in them. Very good $/GB and you get a NAS drive anyway. They are on sale at best buy pretty frequently for $180-$200

>>61347755
Buy them used. You'll save some scratch. Lots of good used drives out there. Just use crystal disk or the like to spot any possible failures before you commit them.

Yea I wouldn't bother with RAID or ZFS or all that bullshit nowadays. I stripe all my drives and just backup manually occasionally. It's much easier to setup a simple cron job or the like to do this instead. Easier to restore as well.

>>61348301
im not going to go through the trouble of backing up m porn. i back up some stuff, but yea, not everything

that said, i dont trust my porn on just a single drive. so, ill either raid-5 2 of the drives and get 500gb, or raid-1 w of them and get 250gb. i will be using mdadm.

i mean, ill consider zfs i guess

>>61348179
Yes that's true. I'll sound like foss-fag but this is why these open source projects like zfs are neat since you can get enterprise tier stuff on your PC for free.

And I get to pretend like I'm an important sysadmin instead of a neet when I play with them

I'm running a little "intranet" site where my normie roommates can search for TVs and movies. In the background, it interfaces with a few private trackers for what they're looking for. When they select something, it downloads to a NAS (and continues seeding for dat ratio) and is made available to our TV via DLNA.

It's nothing impressive, but it's nice to have.

>>61348329
>>61348362
I only backup my personal photos and some of my movies or tv's. Most of which can be replaced besides the personal photos and documents. Those I have archived on various usb drives though. 128GB usb thumb drives have been pretty cheap in the last year or two and it makes it perfect for backups offsite etc.

Wtf is the point of like 99% of these setups in a home? What kind of autistic people download more than 10tb of media. I barley download anymore. Outside of a few shows, most on Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu. There's plenty of HD anime sites and crunchyroll.

I have a rpi with an external plugged in and shared locally. What more do you need besides that, maybe a VPN, dns adblocking, and a routeros/PFsense/other?

People talking about botnets, then use plex and torrents lmfao.

Good God. I hope you're lying. That life sounds horrible.

>>61348899
It's pretty good. You might be reliant on storing your data or using services someone else provides but we do not. Good for you I suppose? We prefer to do things on our own.

>>61348856
Part fun, part hoarding/archiving and part personal preference. I just prefer to have my content locally so I can access it instantly and get it in higher quality than streaming sites provide. Also I like to archive/hoard stuff because sometimes things disappear of the internet and I don't want to lose access to things that I like just because some site went down. Besides, I like running servers and seeing the kinds of cool things computers can do.
