/hsg/ - Home Server General

Received my microserver gen8 today.
UDIMM ECC ram came too.

Waiting for my drives which should be coming next week and I'll get it up an running.

What are you guys up to?

>HP

is dis nigga serious

Lost a bunch of files playing with Windows storage spaces

What's wrong with the proliant microserver.
Their a good alternative to a NAS

How is it? I have a media smart server ex485 with a q9550s. It works ok for now.

Maybe you should buy fewer gaming PCs and read a book once in a while.

Proliant gen8's are cheap and pretty versatile. You can't really build one that has a better featureset in that compact package for cheaper....at least, not here in Europe.

>wanting to get fucked over with firmware support

I should be putting youmu back in the rack or playing around with chen

but in reality im gorging on Yes! Pretty Cure 5

Haven't used it. It came today and I'm heading across the country for a wedding.

It's well built actually. Feels pretty premium, feels sturdy. I took a quick look in the chassis. Soldering looks good and cables are managed well.

(I appreciate things like spring loaded, retained thumbs screws.)

I'll boot it next week when I have some drives.

You installed the Raspberry inside this blue and red cases¿? Pictures from inside ¿?¿ :O

>firmware support
>needing to update firmware
Literally the only thing that needs firmware updates are buggy shit like the Surface and Samsung's SSD's spyware firmware.

Let's see what HP has had to fix in your server:

Evidently quite a bit.

they're old cobalt raq3 chassis - replaced the lcd display and leds, rigged up an interface so pi can control everything via gpio and tapped the 5v line from the psu for power

original plan was to put a cluster in there, but never panned out

You get support for like a year. If they don't fix the fucking firmware issues by then, then maybe you should go with a vendor that isn't fucking retarded.

>Quite a bit
>4 releases in 3 years
>One is literally just adding support for newer processors.

Idiot

>hurr durr it's OK for firmware patches to be put behind a paywall

>support for a year
If they can't fix it by then and put it behind a paywall just go with another fucking vendor.

Didn't you build a cluster though with rpis though?

aye, 9 x Raspi 2s

reminds me, i have a 7" display to set it up with sometime

What were you going to do with it?

Can you make money running a home server lol? Accounting for electricity and everything can you make a profit

I'm trying to diagnose a issue with pfsense. On android phones, apps like youtube, netflix, and clover/chanu take a unusually long time to load the pages for their ui, with netflix taking literally 3-5 minutes to load the ui. Loading/streaming the content is as fast as other devices on the network, and if I browse Sup Forums/youtube/netflix in a browser on a laptop using the same wifi connection or on the same android device, they're both as fast as wired connections.
Tl;dr ui for apps loads extremely slowly, content for apps loads just fine

>blindly follows the HP is shit meme without knowing what the fuck they're talking about

Its DNS

Its always DNS

HP FTP sites. They're plastered everywhere on the Internet and freely accessible. If you can't get the paid for HP update packs without a license, you don't deserve to be playing with HP kit desu

I can't conceive of why DNS would be the issue, but I'll try fiddling with it

my g5's iLO is licensed by a keygen
just werks

>you don't deserve to be playing with HP kit

Good, I don't use shit gear.

Yeah man exactly. >iLO2 rocks and it's harder to shit yourself than get a free copy

are you upgrading the CPU?

I've been reading about these, pretty interesting and cheap, but the standard CPU is not exactly powerful

no no no, its ALWAYS the firewall. always.

better open up a ticket

Nah not really. Maybe mining obscure altcoins and dumping early on but nothing more than that.

>Proliant gen8's are cheap and pretty versatile. You can't really build one that has a better featureset in that compact package for cheaper....at least, not here in Europe.

HPs are concentrated shit regardless if it comes in a shiny little box. If you're too poor to own a proper server perhaps you should move out of Europe so you can earn a decent wage. I hear there are some openings in Syria, Turkey and Iraq. Perhaps you could go on holiday and see if the area is multicultural enough for you?

>Literally the only thing that needs firmware updates are buggy shit like the Surface and Samsung's SSD's spyware firmware.

You are dumb and should suck start a weedeater.

Goddamn summer is hitting hard this year.

I had an idea about data compression and wanted to use it for some empirical testing

well that's part of it - I'd be lying if I said that a goodly chunk of it isn't simply because having a cluster kicking around to play with isn't cool as fuck.

>should suck start a weedeater
Damn bruh you angry now. You fall for the Surfacebook meme? SPTriple and SPQuadruple are good, but that SBook bruh.

what are you planning to use it for?

Buyer's remorse kicking in I see.

>Damn bruh you angry now. You fall for the Surfacebook meme? SPTriple and SPQuadruple are good, but that SBook bruh.

What? No. I employ common sense and logic to my purchases.

why is hp so shit?
what major differences do hp/dell/ibm/lenovo have?

Got my new Chelsio card in today!

Great shitpost friend.

Looking for the most cost efficient way to achieve something is actually the sign of someone who knows what they are doing with money.

Is it just me, or do poor people like this retard think that buying expensive shit for no reason, regardless of the task in hand, is always a good idea?

Nice, I was going to buy a G8 but decided against it.

Nas + webhosting + media server + learning about linux & BSD in a way that is actually more useful than dicking around with no real direction in mind.

Calm your tits, famalam.

>If you're too poor to own a proper server perhaps you should move out of Europe so you can earn a decent wage.

Why are you so angry?

This entire post reeks of projection. Enjoy your job at mcdonalds

If it's not in rack it's not a server.

I guess my face is a server then, given how much I motorboat your mom.

Is the code for that kawaii administration panel up somewhere? I'm loving the cat girl aesthetic.

cute

What exactly can you do with a home server that you couldn't accomplish with a $5 dollar rpi0?

RAID-Z

My mom is dead though, at least warm her up first.

I want to build a simple NAS/server. I just want file sharing + Docker. Are there any storage systems for Linux that can pool drives and make SMB and/or AFP shares? Preferably with a web GUI for management. So far, I have found openATTIC but it doesn't seem very stable yet.

Quality shitpost

I can actually purchase a home server

You've got OpenMediaVault - does docker and VM. Then there's Rockstore, does docker.

holy fuck that is gay

top kek shrek

#REKT

>How much OP?

I bought myself one of these H40L for $200 with upgraded ram to 8GB . Pretty damn fine for the price if you ask me.

n40l.wikia.com/wiki/Operating_System

I'm planning on installing gentoo for freenas on it ...meh i shall decided with it arrives. Ohh well how much anyway?

What does one even use this for? Also want to share the code for that control panel?

£170
Needed 4 drives.

Doing Freenas, RaidZ1 will eat up one drive, and I'd prefer not to buy 2x6TB drives for no reason.... hence 4 x 2TB

Hot damn!
May I ask where?

ebay
brand new. sealed box.

Nothing had been touched.

Brilliant imo.

A++++++++++++++++++++ seller would do business with again ;^)

>using the smiley with a carat nose

Finished some caching for Teknik, now working on some other new features.

Hahahaha wow. This is damage control that rivals the Hilary campaign.

>This entire post reeks of projection. Enjoy your job at mcdonalds

Not even close, fwiend.

I agree with him. I'm sure that business support, ECC ram, overpriced SAS HDDs and controllers configured with RAID are really useful for maintaining that 99.99% uptime on your loli porn NAS.

Just picked this beauty up

What do you guys actually use your home servers for?

Be nice pls, I'm a newbie.

File storage or home media streaming, usually.

File server at the moment. When I get a second processor will drop a hypervisor on it and use it as a test bed and dhcp/dns server.

Why not get the newer HP ML10v2. Its the same price or even cheaper and uses the 1150 socket instead of the older one.

OpenVZ test environment for shit like owncloud seafile mediawiki and other shit.

Got a server rack last week

how much?

> Dell

For free

damn. good find.

Local storage pool, offsite backup, Plex server, to spin up some VMs, Archiving client data, Firewall, vSwitches, Chinese cartoons, Nickelback discography & Shitposting through 7 proxies.

It's literally just a metal box, why are you this much of a namebrand fag?

How many watts do the pi's draw? and for the whole rack?? I'd have more computing power at home if it wasn't for the power concerns.

I'm agitated by me not being able to get a Sun rack for cheap!

Sort out those cables you animal!

>this coming from american
Your country is literally made of europe's scum.

wew lad

Fair enough

gen8 microserver and a silverstone ts431 SAS enclosure.

Managed to get hold of a xeon e3 1240v2 and a lsi 9207-8e SAS card. Worked right out the box with ubuntu. 4x4tb WD meme reds in the gen8 and 3x3tb toshibas in the external case.

sup rack bros

The ProLiant Micro Gen 8 is a legitimate part of the ProLiant lineup, and arguably better quality than the ML110/310's.

And what does the underage troll consider "proper"?

Wrong again...

Because I got this of eBay, brand new for cheaper than the ml10 was, and I prefer the form factor

So you bought the one I linked to you last week? Nice.

The switches for the G8 are pretty decent too, but a bit over priced.

Going to try something with tiering in Storage Spaces again, I think. The OS drive is literally just the OS, and is backed up 4x a day via network.

I'm in the process of re-configuring my switch and carving out a VLAN for VOIP. Still working on getting PoE power levels sent to SCOM though, but I haven't really had a chance to sit down and work with it.

I also own a HP Proliant Microserver.
OS is Ubuntu 16.04 and using it mainly as a Media Server for now.

pis along I'm not sure of - whole rack along with modem, printer and montior that's out of shot is just over 200W

>... I'd prefer not to buy 2x6TB drives ...

you pussy

Filestorage, cloudservices for said storage (seafile), lab environment and a clusterfuck of plex, jmm/SQL server, sonarr, seedbox for filing and downloading manchurian horseskin drawings

Nice man, looks neat.

I kinda feel it's neglected most of the time as it's only used for offloading virtual DCs in assignments. Would you guys have some tips to make the most out of it?

Also for those who own a TLD; How did you get through the naming process as I still have no idea how to name this, like your birthchild.
