--> Quick Questions Quick Replies Why would I want a NAS/Homeserver? If you ask why then you don't need it.
>I want a NAS/HTPC/Plex what should I get? RPi3 or Odroid XU4/HC1.

>Which disk is better for my homeserver? The general opinion minus some details are that WD Greens are enough if you deactivate parkdrive, and WD Red are green overpriced. Also Toshiba and HGST are pretty good.

Old paste is probably kind of outdated. Last time we improved it they were the best options. I hope we can discuss it again so we do a more accurate pasta.

I've been checking the board overall and it looks a nice replacement to the old one. I will update the pasta for the next thread if I catch it.

What software do people recommend for an LTO4 dell/IBM tape drive?
>>I want a NAS/HTPC/Plex >>RPi3 It's a joke right ? I've migrate my home server on a NUC because the Pi keep struggling for anything. It's ok for osmc/Kodi, but I tried to use the Pi as a NAS, as a cloud (Nextcloud, then Seafile), don't know if it's the RAM or the ethernet port but it's shit. Gonna try on an Asus Tinkerboard
Jose Walker
See Also, yeah, probably the PI was melting due to the shared Ethernet and USB bus.
Asher Cruz
Get an odroid or a rock64, I got an odroid and works fine.
Camden Wright
Get on my level

In case you wonder:
>Simple Windows Server VM for browsing the web privately at work >Nextcloud Server
Adrian Hall
>Nextcloud Server Something you like or would advise to someone that wants to get his own Nextcloud? I know it is a vague question but I can't be more specific.

I'd like to set something up for torrenting and plex so I don't have to have my main desktop on to watch shows. The quieter the butter. I usually watch 720p. I'm technical enough to deal with starting VPN / transmission from the command line.
Recommends?

For those of you who use a home server for backups, do you keep offline backups too?
I'm thinking of buying an HDD for storing all my family videos and pictures and lock it somewhere safe, keeping it offline.

Anyone know how to get cheap Hot swap tray caddies?
I could get a Fujitsu Primergy TX300 S7 with E5-2640, 16GB RAM, 2x450W and 12x LFF SAS/SATA HDD Hot Swap Bays available for 600€, but the trays cost 22€ per piece, so buying all of them is painful. :|

added a new server to the rack 15 hard drive bays, planning on installing 12

Uses?

Josiah Martinez
Pardon me, I meant for the full stack. And specs if you like.
Wyatt Butler
So how do you anons run services in the same port of the router but from different containers or VM? I 've been thinking on it for a while and I can't come up with a conclusion.

pfsense running on a gigabyte j1900 board patch panel 24 port gigabit switch monitor (obviously) shelf with laptop running as a SSH gateway (heracles), and a cable modem DL380 G5, don't use it much since it's slightly louder than the dell (cthuhlu) Dell Poweredge 2950, currently used as a NAS (w8b8r8m8) 4U custom built server in a rosewill rsv-l4500 chassis, going to be the all-in-one server for everything (rackheater)
rackheater still needs: >heatsinks that actually fit into the chassis >2 HBA cards >hard drives

Holy fuck mate. Jelly as damn. Btw, why noctua? Not for example, Arctic?
Kayden Cooper
because I have nothing else to spend money on other than save/invest it and I have a noctua fetish (I don't really care what brand fans are in a practical sense, as long as they're quiet and PWM)
I'll probably only buy 4 drives, the fans, and maybe the HBA card. I don't have that massive of a storage need.
Connor Torres
what can i do with a GPU in my home server?
Parker Allen
I'm kind of glad you didn't order 15 4TB disk, although I don't know exactly why. I will get some rack server someday after I improve my skills and my income vastly more, since I want to be a nice seeder. For some reason I love to seed.
Charles Howard
>For some reason I love to seed. Same here. I don't have much bandwidth but I like to just collect things and attempt to preserve it and share it.
Ryan Turner
Yeah kind of same here. I don't collect a lot but I don't like to delete anything. My bandwith is more than enough I guess but the trackers I'm in have people that are bigger or better or some shit, because I rarely fullfill it.

Who freenas here? Just migrated from Debian, bretty gud so far. I wish my data was more compressible.

Why people use ESXi when there are open and more advanced virtualization implementations? VMWare is disgusting and everything that goes beyond the basic is overpriced.
Hudson Parker
going by price per TB and overall cost any better suggestions?
whats a decent new-ish xeon tower server i can get pretty cheap nowadays? TS140's any good?
Brody Gonzalez
What's the most power efficient full-fledged Intel Core or Xeon or Ryzen CPU today? I'm not really interested in Celerons or other on-board CPUs.
What's the state of power-saving features on CPUs today? I'm trying to build a server that's only really busy on certain times of the day, and idle at most others.
