Does Sup Forums have a home server? How about a NAS then? Shit, VM on the server for different services? What's your home networks like?
What are they used for too? I want projects like these but I'm not sure what the fuck I'd need them for. Also it'd be nice to discuss actual tech besides all the fucking consumerist Generals.
I have a small server I exclusively use for BOINC.
>Server 1
Hardware:
G4400 (soon to be upgraded)
16GB DDR4 2400
3x4TB Hitachi's on ZFS Z1
1x3TB WD-Green for Movies and Animus
128gb nvme for Boot
Software:
Running Proxmox VE and a bunch of LXE containers with:
Radarr - For movies
Sonarr - For animus and series
Transmission and Deluge - Muh torrenting le "linux distros" hehe :)
Shinobi - IP camera security
NextCloud - Dropbox/Drive replacement
Pi-Hole - Network-wide ad and tracking blocking
OpenVPN - So I can remote access from anywhere while still not needing to open a bunch of ports to the internet
RedBot - Bot for discord
DokuWiki - Wiki for your information storage needs (soon to be upgraded to MediaWiki)
No home server. I'm trying to look into making my own NAS enclosure using an Orange or Banana Pi and running them in parallel so I can add as many drives as I want, this is proving a difficult task. Very cheap though. This would probably cost me $2000 in store but online it'd cost me maybe $300? Not even? The Pis are cheap, finding a way to run them together is challenging unless there's a specific pi that should be simpler.
Have a Mac mini running plex server and around 70TB storage (mirrored/backed up). Family and friends around the world use it. Have 500/50 Internet. Keep it all hidden in the pantry which has Ethernet.
Apartment is brand new and wired with Ethernet.
Have a 16-port power over Ethernet switch in the power/network closet which has 4 power Ethernet ports. Every port is filled - have 16 ports in the apartment.
Have two PoE wifi access points at each end of the apartment. Walls and ceilings are cement so I need both of them. They're those Ubiquiti ones. Hidden and unobtrusive.
Basically try to keep everything hidden and unobtrusive but just works.
...
what do you guys need a home server, what can it do for you?
yeah this t430 is my personnal "home server"
I pretty much use it as a plex / nextcloud / apache server.
Paid like $200 on ebay and it does the job well.
How the fuck you got 70TB on a Mac mini?
He probably got a nas enclosure, some of them can be 8 bays and with like 10tb drives out, it's easy to Get 70tb into there
>buy 2 pi
>install the same shit on them(OMV for examle)
>add 1 drive each
There, finished. You have two pi running paralel with multiple drives.
Dedicate each to different thing, one for movies, one photos, one for show etc.
once a company can release a raspberry-pi type computer that had Gigabit Ethernet and usb3.0 and costs under $80, i will buy that device.
my 30w 2010 Asus Eee PC seems excessive.

Oh, I've seen you in every home server thread here. Must be nice to have SIX dns' servers running

I want to move it to racks and get a larger switch aswell as a 4u for a fuckton of hdds.
How good is next cloud?
>virtual switch
What software do you use for this? I'm keeping my LXC's on the same subnet.
Way better fork than OwnCloud, it's really like Dropbox/Drive but you own the data.
It has file versions and delete history like the mentioned above.
I actually have 8 DNS servers
...
>trash heap of Pis
>can't even align equipment to rack units
sorry, I seem to have obviously offended you
That looks rather nice. Thanks for the link.
Who is it? Mediaserver? Mailserver? Indexmashine? Filestockserver?
Thats just what Im calling it, to be fair I dont really know what the fuck it would be called.
I forced a bridge with netctl, interface name br0 and NO real interface. In the netctl profile assign the new br0 interface an ip ending in .1.
There is a post up script to force a static mac address, this will solve the issue of windows counting a new network connection every boot.
I then run dhcpd on that interface and hand out ips ranging from .2 to .255.
The vps start with the ifup script that creates tap devices on the bridge and dhcpd sees them and successfully gives them ips when requested.
I had the entire thing masqueraded to eth0 but as a fair disclaimer Ive determined today that this is what causes an a problem resulting in vms in the bridge still being able to talk to each other.
Im looking into other ways of getting the bridge online right now, but it seems very few people take home networking to this level of bullshit, and as a result I cant find any info for what Im doing.
Be sure to edit the service files and force in an dependency for the right order of things, firewall needs netctl profiles, dhcpd needs interface profile to be up first. If you dont do this some shit will fail start during some boots
ps, in the conf for dhcpd you can specify what interface to use there and actually have it give different ip ranges on different interfaces, took me forever to find that out.
Follow up to my frist reply,
I just saw that you have shinobi.
I was about to try it out. Im currently using zoneminder. I seem to be having trouble with it, maybe in part to having it installed on arch and having to jump though hoops in the aur to get it to even install.
If youve used zoneminder, how does shinobi compare?
One reason I am looking into shinobi is the ability to export in modern video formats, where zoneminder lacks saving video and instead only supports exporting crippled jpgs to a video file that gets increasingly corrupted the longer it runs.
Does shinobi save real video files or is it just a half assed video slideshow?
Hows the quality, any problems?
its poorfag trash, I doubt it cost even $100, nothing less than $10k is allowed here
Why?
What you're looking for is PVLANs, stop trying to nigger-rig it
> it seems very few people take home networking to this level of bullshit

redundancy, isolation, and to prevent dns leaks
ad1/2 - are internal DNS
dns1/2 - are in a isolated PVLAN with internet access and act as forwarders for ad1/2, and contact the root servers directly
dns3/4 - are in a promiscous PVLAN with VPN internet access, receive zone transfers from ad1/2, and contact the root servers directly
dns4/5 - are like 3/4 but for Tor
>PVLANs,
Thanks, Ill start reading up on them.
>stop trying to nigger-rig it
I was trying to make it, not rig it.
Assuming those PVLANs ever leave your virtual switch you'll need a physical switch which supports PVLANs which would exclusively be enterprise class equipment. You can pick up Cisco 3560G/E or 3750G/E switches for ~$100 on ebay.
en.wikipedia.org
>I was trying to make it, not rig it.
Thats nigger rigging it.
I read the wiki that you linked to. Its sounding like that is used for something different that what I was doing.
Im only using this virtual switch (which is just a no nic bridge running dhcpd) to get virtual machines online. The isolation is just preventing the vms from talking to each other so I can download viruses and the other vms would be protected
I read this:
unix.stackexchange.com
It says pvlan is a cisco concept and the "alternative solutions" they are talking about sorta sounds like what Im doing
>Thats nigger rigging it.
Not if you didnt know it existed or it actually doesnt. By this logic everything ever invented is pure nigger rigging(not that it wasnt, but this argument implies it should be done in the first place).
I have a laptop with XenServer on it. The storage and the NAS controller are virtualised. Got music streaming server on another vm, seedbox on yet another. There is also a Windows Server vm running, it's only ever used by my roommate to run his chatbot.
There are three networks, one wired for me, one wired for my roommate, and one wireless for everyone. The data is queued so that both wired networks get the same slice of the ISP connection.
The router is Mikrotik, I highly recommend their stuff, it's cheap and powerful.
I wish I had it but I have no idea why would I.
>The isolation is just preventing the vms from talking to each other so I can download viruses and the other vms would be protected
Thats what PVLANs do, they isolate network ports at layer 2.
>It says pvlan is a cisco concept
It started with them but any enterprise class switch will support them.
>Not if you didnt know it existed or it actually doesnt.
again it is nigger rigging
>By this logic everything ever invented is pure nigger rigging
No. You nigger rigged it because it didnt work and is a completely ass backwards way to go about doing it.
>unix.stackexchange.com
Also the person with the accepted answer here is retarded. PVLANs are nothing like a firewall. And the 2nd most upvoted answer is from a retard who starts off by saying he doesnt even know what a PVLAN is. Stop going to stack exchange websites, they're full of nothing but retards and pajeets.
What are some other sources better than SO?
>Thats what PVLANs do .. but any enterprise class switch will support them.
>Stop going to stack exchange websites, they're full of nothing but retards and pajeets.
Ok, then would you be so kind as to tell me how to plug a virtual machine into one of these?
I gave you a screenshot. VMware vSphere and Microsoft HyperV both support PVLANs.
>b-b-but muh open sores hypervisor
its a piece of shit and not enterprise class and thus doesnt support it
>US$ 3,495.00
my solution works and is free as in freedom.. and free as in doesnt cost a damn thing.
My vms are online, and the home network is secured. files transfer at the appropriate speed for my nonenterprise hdds. I think I like my solution better.
Thanks for the info though, have a good day.
>and free as in doesnt cost a damn thing.
Neither does vSphere.
>I think I like my solution better.
Keep on larping that this is true. You said yourself it doesn't work. And the only reason you're even larping that this is true is that you're too retarded to even be able to search for a keygen let alone use enterprise class equipment and software.
Why are you obsessed with "enterprise class"
Can you explain how you feel when you read the words "enterprise" and "class"?
>Why are you obsessed with "enterprise class"
Because it infers quality and performance. Whereas free as in freedom and doesnt cost a damn thing infers barely able to work if at all.
Top one is for Apache, NextCloud and Rtorrent+Rutorrent
Bottom one is exclusively used as a VPN server
>TFW using ultra thin clients as server
>TFW only paid 10€ for both
>TFW had to 3dprint the DVD drive cover for one of them
But if it doesnt work at all then how come it works perfectly?
>it works perfectly
>Ive determined today that this is what causes an a problem resulting in vms in the bridge still being able to talk to each other.
From your own statement it doesnt work at all. Nor does it support the proper way of achieving this - PVLANs.
>hey guys /home server/ thread!
>btw what are home servers even used for?
lmao every time. pathetic autists
I have an 8-bay mediasonic raid enclosure at raid 50 with 8 8TB drives, so 48TB. I also have 16TB and 8TB drives that it backs up to every night with rsync. Eventually I'll have to get a bigger back-up drive.
The only problem is the Mac mini I have is pretty old and doesn't have usb3 so I don't get very high transfer speeds.
If they come out with a new mini this fall I'll get one. Otherwise maybe switch to an intel nuc.
But I also use OS X server on the mini and run my familie's private calendar and contacts servers on it. If I switch to a nuc I'll have to find calendar server software that does iCal and hopefully push to iOS.
Just run OS X in a VM if you care that much
How did you do this part with open VPN?
The "problem" was machine isolation, which was just an afterthought I added later. The communication between machines stems from using masquerading as a shortcut to just get shit up and running so I could call it a day a few weeks ago. I just picked it back up today and noticed this issue.
I resolved it though getting red of masquerading. A change to the rules file should fix this.
Some newish athlon on itx mobo.
Mostly to learn how to configure it, DNS, apache, ssl and whatnot. Can't get mail agents to work, probably need some relay as i'm under regural consumer IP.
Also owncloud, although for some reason the calendar app is fucked and i can't install it.
As for interesting projects- i think i saw tutorials for making a flight "radar" online - plug an antenna and recieve aircraft signals which you can present on a map in real time. Could be fun.
>The "problem" was machine isolation
Which is what our conversation has exclusively been about. All we've been talking about is network isolation.
You have no idea at all what you're doing but are larping that "it works perfectly". And refuse to switch to enterprise class software which was actually intended to perform these tasks because you barely know linux and dont want to learn something else like vSphere and IOS all the while autisticly screeching muh freedums
I'm not taking advice from an autist who comes into an anime board screeching about muh enterprise class shit.
You honestly think everyone should buy some special switch just to isolate a shit vm.
ios has fuck all to do with this and youre the one that brought up open sours in the first place.
You are really starting to sound like fox and the grapes because you dont understand what iptables is
How difficult is it to set one? I have a bit of experience with VPS but nothing else.
>i wish i could afford nice things
>the post
>youre the one that brought up open sours in the first place.
>my solution works and is free as in freedom
even more projection
>you dont understand what iptables is
keep on larping that this is true, pic related. linux has its place, being the data plane of a switch is not one of them
"kill urself lol" and a 169. IP address. Kill yourself indeed.
The guy gave you advice to your problem and you get all pissy and defensive because MUH OPEN SORES? jesus christ get a grip my dude
I like it.
With all them servers why does that guy even need a central heating unit?
>192.168.1.6-7
I know your ipaddresses now, prepare to get hacked. xD xD
Do you receive updates with the cracked version?
Are you not afraid that maybe with one update suddenly all cracked versions will stop working?
Also, have you tried Xen? What are some nice features in vSphere for home, non enterprise use that are not available in Xen? Besides pvlans and live migration.
Blast! My evil plan is fooled!
>poor
>trash
>$100
And that it?
Server in home not commercial server. Pay 100 or 10k then server have work enytime in homework tasks.
Its poor virtual server? Filetrash is great. I to have it is work create index table and use kvm server?
I'm starting college for IT, I need a project. Recommend me something easy to do with a raspberry that any moron can do.
NAS configured in RAID 10 (8tb usable storage)
Two raspberry pi's set up as redundant DNS (with network level adblocking),
Third raspberry pi providing ssh and vpn connection back into my network,
Small server running multiple tiny VM instances for stuff like a git remote for all of my projects seedbox etc.
Took a reasonable amount of time / money to get it just how I wanted, but now it's pretty much perfect
>Two raspberry pi's set up as redundant DNS (with network level adblocking),
How long did it take you and did you use any guides?
Putin today - tomorrow sits on the plank (in prison) because of the "prosrali polymers" and other oligarchic habits and you with him memasiki post. Eбoнтяй.
>How long did it take you
About four hours including research
>and did you use any guides?
Debian wiki was pretty good, pi-hole github was useful for getting adblocking blacklists
Do you remember where you read about it
So I installed pfsence on a 30 dollar eBay box to learn networking on physical hardware.
It still on basically default setting but I installed snort with a simple whitelist.
What else should I do?
Search debian wiki for dnsmasq as a starting point, that will give you a good place for getting the dns server configured up.
Then it was a case of writing bash scripts that pull some publicly available ad-host blacklists down from github, munge the data in them around to point to localhost and add them to the dns configuration.
Most of the research I did was around "is this going to be a pointless waste of time that will suck up years of my life for no discernible purpose", something I ask myself at the start of every new project after wasting time on stuff that didn't do anything useful
I'm running a pi with my external harddrive attached. Also since my shit ISP doesn't give me an IPv4 address anymore I can't portforward anything. So I set up tinc so I can access everything from everywhere with my laptops.
Ty will do
I love you, 100% pure unfiltered homo
Openvpn, site-to-site vpn , wake on lan, pfblockerng, squid proxy for caching, unbound DNS with dnssec.
aw shit, I also bought a cheap t430 and use it as a home server.
So I have installed pfBlockerNG and I am trying to learn how to setup a advance firewall. So with DSNBL can I just copy paste all of Ublock's 3rd Party Filters such as EasyList, Anti-Adblock Killer,Fanboy’s and such and basically turn off Ublock?
its a keygen not a crack
no. and nigger vSphere is for enterprise use. how the fuck am I supposed to know what "home use" features are.
Well it means that I don't have over 9000 physical servers and so do you, I suppose. Anything useful if you only have one or two physical servers?
And you didn't answer the question about the updates.
Yes.
I only have 2 servers. And besides what you mentioned there are things like vSAN and NSX.
And yes you get update just fine, why wouldn't you? As I said its a keygen not a crack
You should use intel CPUs over AMD for your home server. Intel is mature for past years and AMD CPUs are glued together.
Intel is better.
Use intel
Pls
How much has been reposited?
why is this angry autist in all home server threads shitposting about his enterprise hardware?
The same reason why all the other angry autists shitpost about their less expensive hardware in the other threads.
You might feel more at home in them arguing over Ryzen vs i7, or AMD vs Nvidia, or what color LEDs your case should have, or what meme language or phone you should use.
A website.
>2 web servers
>2 load balancers
>2 firewalls
You can add 2 cache servers if you want.
I have a crappy office desktop running ubuntu server. Feel free to laugh.
I did try using ZM, couldn't get it work great with my cameras. Shinobi has its flaws too but I got both 1080p30 cameras working fine with zero issues
I installed on a Ubuntu 16.04 LXC and it worked great. I'm sure if I can help regarding a arch-install :(.
Real MP4/WEBM files, you can even choose the ffmpeg settings like H264/H265 or WebM equivalents.
Literally this: pivpn.io
Portable Pi3 with Battery and running OpenVPN with 4G dongle and DDNS, access from anywhere.
sure I have what could be called a home server
its a sff c2d system that I use to run kodi on my tv.
serves nfs/samba shares to use gdrive without bullshit on any of my other systems
runs unconnectable rtorrent to farm bonuspoints and meet minimum seedtimes while freeing up precious disk space
runs openvpn to access my network externally if required, though if I go out i rarely need to.
watches over all my remote servers, checking for security issues, downtime, bandwidth limits, etc
lastly, takes care of some small automation tasks
everything else (proper seedbox, minecraft, authoritative dns, znc, repos, git, tv/music streaming, socks, webshit, mail, xmpp, ci) is done by remote servers
remote servers are costing me about £60/yr - £36 for my 500GB kimsufi seedbox/dns, $12 for openvz resource pool from subnet labs, £15 or so on hourly cloud servers from vultr as needed (minecraft, ci jobs, etc)
I don't yet, but I'm in the process of building a personal network with nodes at my parents' house and my apartment. I'd held off on building a NAS for awhile because there's not much room to keep one running where I live, but now that my folks are about to have internet at their house, I'm going to build one and set it up there. That way they can watch movies off it too, and I can access the NAS and a couple other network resources via firewalls.
I also use a laptop, a toshiba i3. Have everything on it with weekly backup
So hosting your own web server, are there any domains left that I can use/own without paying?
What's the point of running a home server?
Shh don't tell anyone, here you can register free TLD's freenom.com
