Home Server

So tell me Sup Forums, what do you have running on your home server?


You guys are smart enough to know how to set one up right..?

Smart enough? Yes.

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

in b4 rasp bury pie

Close, I'm using an Orange Pi.

Your mum is setting up a home server, with Baby Linux and my Cream Pie.

Im hosting plex, a couple source engine game servers, IRC and a webpage with my resume on it

yeah I am smart enough to read on-screen instructions

just nextcloud on an rpi

it's slow as fuck

Also got a poweredge 2950 and 2650 with exsi for some VMs and a main backup storage for disk images but they get very little use.

Right Now: plex, minecraft server
To do: DNS for adblocks, file storage

I do not have a home server.

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.

>want a home server to use as a seedbox and an SFTP server
>also want to set up a home networking lab for professional practice
>mfw no money to spare at the moment
Someday, that's what I keep telling myself.

HTTPS webserver and mariaDB for SQL.

...

>You guys are smart enough to know how to set one up right..?

you mean download the premade server installation image and then running the installer on your hardware?

if you want to mess around with networking why don't you use a simulation software?

my wife's son said it was a waste of energy and thus a no go

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.

if the shoe fits etc

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

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.

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.

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

>an entire server to backup files

lmao

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.

suits my slow and low imprint needs

>Implying you need to be smart to setup a server
You're just putting pieces together that were designed by actual smart people. Don't fool yourself.

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.

NanoPi NAS, running DNS for adblocking, OpenMediaVault, Apache Tomcat and soon lighttp. Nice to have Gbit LAN

>what do you have running on your home server?
PulseAudio

HP DL380 G8, proxmox as kvm gui
everything else is virtualized
>running linux based directory services, 802.1X

what games

How do you do that?

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.

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

>sonarr
>radarr
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).

whats the matter user? don't like acting like an elitist for doing something a 12 year with a passing interest in computers could manage?
maybe this isn't the place for you

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.

2xOld Ass Opterons (tm)
64GB ram, 30tb storage

Host OS:
win Server

VM1: Win desktop
Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, PIA, PlexPy, qB etc

VM2: ubuntu server
Git, Apache/MySql

VM3: ubuntu server
PiHole

VM4: arch server
TS3, bunch of other dumb shit

chinese cartoons.

on home network just a download station,
Nextcloud on VPS.

SFTP, MPD, XMPP, OpenVPN, SOCKS5 proxy, Plex.

XMPP is by far the most useful, apart from ssh. Thinking about buying a VPS too.

I am afraid hackers may get into my home network. Any advice?

Just unplug it.

freenas with an old i5, 16gb ram and ~20tb useable storage, more if i cleaned up snapshots more aggresively
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?

[spoiler]critTV reverting back to tek syndicate fucked with me, to the point where i dreamt that wendal and logan had settled their creative differences and he was back on 'The Tek'

My net is too shit to handle anything I'd actually want to do with a home server. Australia is hell

...

NAS runs FreeNAS + Plex, Raspberry Pi runs MQTT & keeps a reverse SSH tunnel open for me.

RAID is not backup.

>You guys are smart enough to know how to set one up right..?

Pick one

Aside from the odd file for work or friends, nothing, really.
The Internet is, after all, a hostile computing environment. Niggers.

>nuke the server from orbit
It's the only way to be sure.

Reinstalling mine in a few hours. Going to have a samba share, remote torrent box via transmission and a dlna server to stream to downstairs tv

There are programs that will automatically make backups that work over the internet

What fucking waste to build a server to back up files.

HP microserver + open media vault

no raid atm, just random hdds I had laying around, does what I need it to do well.

Still waiting for an updated model. How many more years are they going to sell this one?

you're all serverlets

>Lots of test VM's.
nigger, you literally have 9 VMs, 2 of which are test VMs. 2 is lots?

I just have a NAS but that's not really a server exactly for back ups. My NAS also runs a torrent client.

Still though a full server for my house? I don't see what I would do with that

why the hell do you have an entire VM for individual services?

>Tfw gen 7 master race.

Calle me back when a SBC can host 4-8 sata drives so I can set up a debian machine without having the jet that melted the shitty 9/11 stuffs on my home with the power consumption of godzilla dildo and I might make a homeserver

Because it is a best practice? You think in enterprise environments you just load every service on a single server? Whats your next retarded question going to be? Why I'm running redundant VMs on a single host?

>i just have a backup server, i don't need a server, it's also a torrent server, still though, a server? i don't see what i would do with that

old laptop that runs transmission daemon with some rss script, printer server, samba share, pihole. still barely takes any resources, don't do any visualization to justify more specs, also free ups when power goes off. ontop of it all it takes piss all power cause its just some shitty pentium m.

I'm getting into VMs, is that just regular vmware or something else?
I have vmware but the perfomance is pretty shit specially in ginuu plus leenux VMs

I have 3 physical machines.

1 HP workstation I got from work, runs my Plex server.
1 self-built ECC RAM machine running Arch with ZFS. I've made many people angry over this, but it's really stable.
1 self-built AMD based machine running ESXi running 5 virtual machines
- Discord and twitter bots
- Hentai@Home
- Minecraft & Factorio servers
- Webserver
- Testserver
All VMs run on Debian 8.

>plex media server
>after upgrading, will use for VMs

even if you're running ad, you can totally use linux. check out zentyal if you're lazy - it's basically SBS plus greylisting, instant messaging and a network router/firewall and all on top of ubuntu

also what the fuck are you doing with iis? it's the single worst web server in existance

>I'm getting into VMs, is that just regular vmware or something else?
vSphere which is ESXi + vCenter

>I have vmware but the perfomance is pretty shit specially in ginuu plus leenux VMs
Then you're doing it wrong. Type 1 hypervisors are always > type 2 hypervisors.

vSphere vs. Proxmox
Xen/KVM/QeMU which of the two above have best support for the hypervisors?

Home server on the bottom right of the shelves.

Xeon X3430, 12GB RAM.

>DHCP
>DNS (pihole+dnscrypt)
>Media Server
>Transmission

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.

looks pretty comfy desu

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

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.

ESXi is bare metal then?

>>Filehistory

What is this?

that's the most overkill home server i have ever seen. unless you're studying for MS exams, you need to have a word with yourself m8 and maybe just get a sysadmin job rather than being a sysadmin of your mother's basement
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
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)
>i have vmware
vmware are a company, not a product. at least tell us the product and what it's running on if you want people to tell you what you could just google
don't worry about it. my media server runs arch because all the services i need are in aur. it's been running a couple of years and it's never had so much as a hiccup.

Yes, so is Hyper-V.

>FAG
I see, you are a man of culture as well

but they STILL haven't done a web interface for it so your remote management options are
>install desktop experience and rdp into it
>hyperv mmc or ps remoting from either a windows vm (terrible idea because if your vm dies you're fucked) or a physical machine running windows. being Sup Forums, i'd hope that you're primarily using linux on everything so that's a no-no
>install powershell server ( powershellserver.com/ ) and ssh into it then just use the hyperv cmdlets
third option is my preferred one functionally but running any software other than the hypervisor itself on the host is not a great idea

>but they STILL haven't done a web interface for it so your remote management options are
HyperV has a web console. Its called System Center Virtual Machine Manager, its been around for years.

>vmware are a company, not a product. at least tell us the product and what it's running on if you want people to tell you what you could just google
VMware Workstation Pro

I built a shit server by using old computer parts I had lying around and puting them on a wooden rack I made.
Currently have this:
CPU: Pentium D
Ram: 1 GB
HDD: 5 laptop hard drives
PSU: Housefire dell
Graphics card: some old radeon
I don't have a cpu cooler so I took a normal desk fan and strapped it to the motherboard.
What should I run?

Why would you run Apache and Lighttpd?

Also lighttpd > apache

ah the macfag autist is back

reminder: ignore bixnood, he is a a legit diagnosed autist thinking this is somehow necessary in home environment, please understand him

is raid5 ok for 3x 250gb drives using mdadm? my primary stuff is on my raid1 array, just need a little more space

> legit diagnosed autist
I'm old enough that autism wasnt a meme when I was in school.

>he doesnt have two 30 amp PDUs
laughingsluts.tga

>sonarr and radarr
>mono
Well yes, i probably will give it another shot. Is there any good fine tuning guides/configs (torrent search filters, renaming, etc)?
>if plex is buffering
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

Proxmox with lxc`s for dnsmasq for dns/dhcp, nextcloud xmpp and postfix with dovecot.
Also couple vm`s for gaymen servers like terraria and shit.

Ps. Fuck yeah, proxmox is where its at

>being the sysadmin of moms basement
Please, i'm the sysadmin for bixnood.net. Do you want to hear a message from our founder?

No.

File storage, migrated everything from Windows and gave it a ro access.
