>>79676930
You can find cheap rack switches used. Although I'd be very careful and avoid anything with a fan.

>>79676930
>only needs a $10 gs305
Number of ports isn't the only feature a switch can have. Switches also have a forwarding bandwidth which is typically very low on unamanaged switches, especially a 5 port one. Not to mention lack of vlans, 10G support, and other more advanced features that those switches don't have.

tired of seeing this nonsense about only certain ports being used.

Hello I am currently setting up a mini server on an intel atom netbook with ubuntu server 20.04. :))))

Nice try anon but that switch doesn't have 10G support

No, I'm serious. Because you seem to have a hard time actually reading the posts that you are replying to.

>>79677124
>Nice try anon but that switch doesn't have 10G support
It literally has SFP ports which can take 10G SFPs

>>unused ports magically give you extra bandwidth
Holy shit that is the most retarded thing I've read all day. No, unused ports don't give you more bandwidth. The specs of the switch itself do, and small 5 port switches have a lower switching capacity compared to an enterprise switch.

>>79677154
You seem like you're trying to justify your purchase of a 24 port switch when you have no devices to plug in to it.
Why didn't you buy a managed switch with an appropriate number of ports for the number of devices you have? It would have cost less to buy and you wouldn't spend the same cost in electricity each year to run it.
>>79677203
>Holy shit that is the most retarded thing I've read all day
Anon you are the most retarded poster I've seen all day. I'm not saying that, you are. Spare ports do not matter you retard. It doesn't matter if a 24 port switch has 48Gbps switching capacity when only 5 ports are in use. 5 ports are in use you only have the switching capacity of 5 ports.

>>79677241
>You seem like you're trying to justify your purchase of a 24 port switch when you have no devices to plug in to it.
You seem to be making up points and then trying to dunk on them.

Just to be clear: I do not own any 24-pot switches.

Do you need Plex Pass for server push notifications to the users? I discovered Tautulli and can see it has a notifications section. I've been trying to send test notifications to my alt Plex account on via the android app but it's not working

>>79677203
>It literally has SFP ports which can take 10G SFPs

No, Dell 5324 is just SFP, not SFP+, so a 10G SFP+ tranceiver/daq will not work in that switch


Having said that, all other reasons to have a non consumer switch are valid.

More switching capacity higher forwarding rates, larger buffer sizes and way more functionality such as STP, VLANS, QOS and Routing to name just a few.

>>79677453
>More switching capacity higher forwarding rates
Irrelevant when there's nothing plugged in

>>79677437
Well, Plex Pass is required for webhooks but I imagine that software is using something else so probably not.

>>79677479
sure, but that does not negate the other points.
I'm not the guy, but I just want to make clear that there are still cases where this switch cant be replaced with a gs305.

For example, I used to run a 6500 chassis switch with just 2 cables plugged in, looked silly, but good luck running BGP on a gs305...

Are there any (ANY) cloud providers that can be trusted for:

1. not selling you out
2. setting up DNS
3. setting up static IP
4. anonymous payment
5. running a server

literally all I want to do is run a static website without risking it getting taken down or have my information sold to the glowcucks.

>>79677566
>I just want clear that there are still cases where this switch cant be replaced with a gs305
Yeah, of course there are. Clearly not the case with the op pic.
1 of the 5 is going to be from the cable modem. Another one is going to the wireless router. Another to the server, and 2 other devices, probably his computer and games console or something. None of the sfp ports in use.
Sure, he could be using vlans, but he's probably not and he's not using anything else that warrants needing that switch rather than a soho managed switch

is 10gb local network a meme? Looking to do raw 4k+ playback and recording.

>>79677635
It's bloody expensive.

>>79677579
>>79677627
Sorry, deleted original post for typo,

And yes, I agree, he probably is doing jack shit with that switch, which is shit tier anyway.

Honestly I just wanted to correct the 10G claim but give him half a win by anyway, but yeah, fuck him, a sg305 would do just fine at a lot less power.

>>79677544
You're right, it doesn't. Just made a webhook for it in my throwaway discord server and the test notification worked. It even worked when I played an episode from my alt Plex account on my phone. The only thing I need is to work out why the Plex android/iOS app doesn't receive these notifications...

To all of my anime hoarders. Do you go back and replace all of your TV releases with BD? I have a shit load of TV releases and a limited amount of data each month so it would be a big project for me that would be split up across many months. I get that BD might be considered definitive because of changes made after the TV airing but is it still worth it to replace a 1.3gb TV episodes with 500mb BD rip for example?

i'm using a little gigabit 8 port unmanaged switch atm and its sufficient for my needs speed-wise but i need more ports.
is there a go-to switch i should look for on ebay (e.g. something being widely decommissioned in business environments)?

thankies

>>79678290
i should mention that i have cisco training so i'm totally fine with using a managed switch.

>>79678261
i have no data caps so i only hoard hard-to-find data (so no movies or anime) but i don't see why you couldn't just download one episode and compare the quality to decide if its worth it.

>>79678290
you could look for some used cisco 24 port managed switches or just get a 16port netgear unmanaged

>>79678117
Difficult to say, without knowing your intentions.
I started out many years ago with a simple 2bay NAS but just kept expanding.

Also depends on budget, and that's not just the "buying" budget but also maintenance/running costs (power, spare HDD's and stuff)

>>79678325
A BD release doesn't necessarily look any better. I think the reason some people go back and replace their TV releases with BD is because they usually make some changes to the animation. It's usually just small stuff but the fact that it's updated makes it definitive.

>>79678290
I use a HPE ProCurve J9021A (24 ports), they're about 13 years old now but they work perfectly. The webGUI is in Java and doesn't work 90% of the time but there's telnet or local serial console access to them. Mine cost me like $40 nearly 2 years ago.

>>79678290

No. Buy a new one from amazon or whatever for less money than you would spend on enterprise scrap.

>>79678261

If I remember to do so. I migrated my anime library from my desktop computer to my NAS during the summer and downloaded a ton of BD releases to replace my old releases.

Hi
I do quest writing for /qst/. It's a nice hobby but the problem is that archival is dependent entirely on the good will of other people. There's one person who runs an archive for it, and then there are the two or so 4chan archives that support that board, that's it.
I'm a little worried that the last couple years of my writing life may disappear one day. I have local copies of these, but I was wanting to host a small (maybe offsite) VPS with the formatted archive of these quests saved and be able to link to it with a cheap/free DNS service just as a personal backup. Where would I start in doing this? I would imagine finding a VPS would be step 1, but idk where to look. Lowendbox?

What is recommended for notifications?
I found Pushover and Gotify so far. Pushover seems to be pretty popular.
I will probably set it up to notify on torrent completion and maybe Grafana alerts. Where else could it be useful?

>>79678817
Hetzner has some pretty cheap low-end VPS available if you just need to backup some writings and host a DNS server. I'm personally a bit cautious over the stuff on Lowendbox. A lot of them don't seem like services that you can trust to be around for a long time.

It is a bit, but if you need that speed, you can do it for pretty cheap if you go second hand.

it was free hardware and i don't pay the electricity bill anyway.
its just a little celeron desktop running samba, jellyfin, transmission-web, dlna, some r-sync jobs, etc. obviously drives don't spin down.

Power draw concerns are deeply personal depending on your location/cost/financial situation. People jumping in and screaming "BUT IT DRAWS MORE POWER" when anon didn't say anything about needing/wanting low power is so stupid. I run 600 watts in my rack, and am happy to - if you are not, that's you. It shouldn't be an automatic assumption that all /hsg/ stuff MUST be as low powered as possible. Not everyone wants to optimize for that. Some of us have cheap power, or dedicate more funds to this hobby because we want to.

Any data you don't ever want to lose should follow the 3-2-1 rule. 3 copies, 2 different medium (could be usb stick, a different hdd, on some other computer in your house, whatever), and 1 remote. If you do this, it is extremely unlikely you will lose them. No need for a VPS - just have them on your computer, back that up to an external drive, and put them on dropbox/gdrive/whatever. Unless you want to make it accessible for others, no need for a VPS.

>>79680007
I had Comcast for a while, and yes I went over often. They just charge you $10 per so many gigs after that, with a maximum that's equivalent to their business tier (which is unlimited) - I think it capped at like $50 extra a month. Totally sucked and so glad I moved and was able to switch ISP. If Cox is your only option, you'll have to pay up for business tier if you want unlimited. Or do what some folks I know do, and download at work and sneaker net it home. Only do this if you are the IT department though.

check specs on ark.intel. see if it has QSV, and check this chart for the generation if it does to know what codecs it supports. any codec not directly supported means the CPU has to work harder to transcoom because it won't be using the hardware acceleration.

anything you want. it can be as simple as just storing personal files you want to access from a private cloud, or as complex as serving dozens of people backups, media streaming, and anything in between.


Home server doesn't need to be about data hoarding but most people usually get into it because they have an extensive media collection.

Late response from previous thread.

As for samba question, once I configured it on my server, I went into "this pc" right click and "add network location" thats what I did to set it up on my desktop, I assumed thats how you were suppose to do it, and whenever I opened this pc if my server was down, it would halt/freeze and then loading loop on my mouse would appear.

My gear is split as I work abroad in a place with garbage internet, I set this basic bitch setup in the UK and every 6 months swap out the hard drive and throw everything new I've been torrenting into a Helios64 Nas, nothings corrupted so far and I've built up a collection I'll likely never get through but it's stealing from Hollywood Jews and is a hobby of sorts I guess

Hello gents, was wondering if I could get some guidence.
pic related is my current NAS setup. It keeps overloading and crashes 24/7.

Main issues to my knowledge is that the raspberry pi 3b+ has no hardware crypto acceleration, and LUKS can't full-disk the drive due to lack of ram.
This means that all crypto shit has to be done via CPU only, which bottlenecks the systems. Furthermore USB 2.0 is naturally slow as fuck, so I obviously will have to move away from that.
Now looking at the RPi4, there still seems to be no crypto support (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=243410).

What's a good server/nas which gives me a linux shell I can work from and not some gay proprietary interface whilst being able to get 1080p playback from a jellyfin server with full-disk encryption?

>>79680007
Holy shit I have no idea how you guys manage to survive with such shit ISPs. Go start your own fucking local thing, there's clearly money to be stolen from these turbojews.

>>79684388
Reason for the two Raspberry pi's was mainly because I got an extra one from my old work place. I was hoping by using NFS I'd be able to let a seperate device handle the media encoding for jellyfin and thereby save some CPU for the main raspberry with the HDD and rtorrent

>>79684392

I've purchased a new hdd to increase my hoarding power, a 14T Toshiba MG07ACA14TE. After a short self test, I have a scary value in `smart -A /dev/sdd`.

Do any of you have experience w/ this drive, or similar Toshiba drives, or 220 Disk_Shift as an indicator? Is this drive bad? SMART values 5, 7, 10, 196-199, and 223 all look ok. Chatter in search results says you want this value low, but that this drive often comes w/ values in the millions. I don't know. I'm currently waiting another ~18h for a long test to finish. Are there other tests I could run (on linux) that might give me the good news that I don't need an RMA?

Is there any kind of DIY way/program to do something similar, just without gulag?

Few questions, just upgraded, and now I'm looking at pushing my network in the 10gbe or higher.

I only have 2 or 3 devices that I need to capability on. What's a cost effective solution?

I was thinking of just getting a 4 port switch and chaining it off my router, and buying network cards for the rest of my devices?

Whats some affordable switches/network cards?

Also I'm running a chenbro 4300 case, and it uses proprietary hotswappable power supplies, one went bad and I can't find replacements anywhere? Anyone have a recommendations on where you can get stuff like that?'

>>79685432
> Via USB?
Yes.

> Are there 3D printable cases for these?
IDK, probably. You can get mass produced USB docks though if you aren't simply using your external drives as they are right now.

> I don't need too many drives, two will be plenty for me
Then just use external drives as they are and be happy you still have ports for a bunch more (possibly in docks) when you eventually outgrow them.

>>79686641

Babby here, still just thinking about various scenarios. Wanna take my time and really think about it so I don't make an expensive mistake.

One scenario in my head has a simple 2-bay external enclosure hooked up to computer (SBC or laptop). Was looking at this plastic transparent one by Orico. I like it because it's covered rather than an open toaster, and also can put it flat.

Anyway so I plan to use RAID1. But when looking at the listings for this I see a regular version
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33045401597.html
and a RAID version
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33033994978.html

Do I need the RAID version? Can't I just use the regular one and configure the RAID myself with the software (OMV or FreeNAS)?

Certainly not a bump.

1u server in the middle?

>>79694833
Probably not great, I saw one review saying it gets hot.

For my use case I'm not too worried about it though, I'm not gonna do any advanced server stuff, no plex, those disks aren't gonna be working 24/7. I just want network attached storage. If I go the old laptop route instead of SBC, I probably won't even have them on all the time. I'd only be using it for backups. So only turn them on when backing up. Like once a day. Then go over to the corner of the room or the basement where I'll keep this whole setup and put the laptop back to sleep, maybe the drives will power down too?

>>79694930
it's 2U but yes

How much would it cost me in hard drives alone, to do 100tb?
If I go with Seagate NAS drives it looks like it'd cost me over $2k USD which is fucking insane.

I don't want to shuck drives, and I don't want to get drives that are extremely unreliable.

Is this accurate pricing? Or should I be doing something else?

Also how should I partition it? Consider that I will have no remote backup when starting this.

Eventually I will plan to make a 1:1 duplicate and keep it over a family members house, but not anytime soon. The price would be fucking insane. Implying it would cost me $2k for the drives alone, never-mind any server gear. I would then need to spend probably around $4k plus electricity just for a backup which I don't want to do right now. In the future sure.

So I was thinking about doing 50tb and 50tb, 1:1?
I'm very unfamiliar with file systems and raid. I was thinking ZFS, but I'm not sure how redundancy works with ZFS.
It's a bit confusing to me when researching just because I haven't messed with it. Do I need to allocate 1:1 for the same machine for redundancy on ZFS? Is that the best and SAFEST option while maintaining fast R/W speeds (I also plan to maybe throw in a 500gb ssd for OS and Caching)?

Don't throw me links saying drives are on sale here, that's not what I'm looking for. Still probably gonna be maybe 7 months until I do any of this, just thinking ahead.

>>79695273
i assume you're including redundancy to reach such a price point. in that case, does it matter that they're NAS drives?
i've been running a standard desktop seagate and toshiba for about 4 years now with no issues and if one dies i have the data on the other.

you don't need to do 1:1. a raid 6 would allow you to retain all data with up to 2 drives dying at once.

>>79695273
a RAIDZ2 (or RAID6) is all you need to handle resiliency. Don't go full retard with RAID1 or 1:1.

>>79695273
>>79695361
you should also look at using drives from different manufacturers as that reduces the chance of consecutive drive failures.

>>79695361
>i assume you're including redundancy to reach such a price point.
Just 8tb Seagate NAS drives are around $200.
I went with 100tb because I need 50tb at minimum. I figure the other 50tb would be for redundancy if I went 1:1.

However it would be extremely beneficial to be able to utilize more than 50tb.


>>79695392
>you should also look at using drives from different manufacturers
are you suggesting buy half the drives from Seagate, half from WD for example?

>>79695391
>RAIDZ2 (or RAID6) is all you need to handle resiliency.
To my knowledge, I was under the impression RAID isn't needed if you used something like ZFS (OpenZFS)?

>Don't go full retard with RAID1 or 1:1.
Any chance you can elaborate on why though?

Again, I'm not extremely familiar with RAIDS and Filesystems and Redundancy in general. Reading about them is a bit confusing just due to lack of real world experience working with them.

>>79695361
Oh forgot to answer the rest here.

>does it matter that they're NAS drives?
Would prefer it yes.

>you don't need to do 1:1. a raid 6..
read my reply above asking about this from what the other poster said

>retain all data with up to 2 drives dying at once.
this is only depending on which drives die, correct?
I guess this would matter more if you only had 4 drives. But I guess with 50tb+ you have more than 4 drives so the chances are decreased greatly?

>>79692484
could just be thermal expansion. as long as it's not relocating sectors chuck it in your raid and check it before the warranty runs out. Worst thing that could happen it it'll die in a week. then you'll be sending it back anyway.

You can pluck out any two drives from a RAID 6 array without the array failing. RAID 5 is basically the same except with only one parity drive.

To get 100 TB of usable space with RAID 6, you'd need 11 x 12 TB drives ((11-2) x 12 TB = 108 TB).

>but good luck running BGP on a gs305...
okay, but the Dell 5324 isn't a L3 switch either, so it's kinda irrelevant in that case.

>>79696311
i dunno, whats their mainstream desktop drives? used to be blues. the MZAZ, i think that was the name of them anyway were the drives that didnt have TLER.

>>79695617
>I was under the impression RAID isn't needed if you used something like ZFS (OpenZFS)?

ZFS protects you from filesystem errors, not HDD errors.

You will also need ECC memory to prevent memory errors causing silent errors and a UPS so power outage does not fuck all your data that is still cached and have yet to be written. ZFS is kind of stupid that way.

>>79696730

WDs own drives max out at 6tb. Anything larger, so 8tb and higher, uses HGST ultrastar helium drives, possibly with firmware tweaks to make them run at 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm, or less cache, etc. Golds and Reds also use rebrands of those.

Only exception found so far is that some 8tb drives use air instead of helium and consequently they run significantly hotter. Like 50-60C in their enclosure, 30-40C if you have them in a decent case with active cooling.

For 6TB and lower, they use whatever they have on stock for external drives, usually blue but can also be green or red..

>>79696730
>Also they started using SMR for red drives so I'm not sure if these are mixed in with externals.
Might be but that also shouldn't be a problem when buying high-capacity externals since the SMR drives are for drives under 8 TB if I remember correctly.

>>79695273
>How much
8TB drives are $119 at lowest sale price.
>I don't want to shuck
Then pay $2k USD, but its literally throwing money away.
>Should I be doing something else?
Yes. SHUCK THE DRIVES and save $80 per drive. The going rate for HDDs is $14/TB when shucking.
>ZFS, redundancy, etc
You need to do more research my friend. I’d recommend the wiki in OP, and perfectmediaserver.com ZFS offer redundancy and uptime with raidz. Its optional when you setup your pools. Raidz1 = one disk of parity Raidz2 = two disks of parity. You shouldn't go over 5-6 drives with either per raidz. For my 100TB I have (with redundancy, all raidz1) I started small with 3x 8TB, then 4x 10TB, and now 5x 12TB, then some miscellaneous drives. I would suggest a similar approach. Remember, raid is not a backup - it only offers continued uptime in case of a drive failure.
>Duplicates
Ask yourself: is all 100TB you hope to accumulate precious data you never want to lose and is impossible to replace? If yes, then you need to do 3-2-1 backup (3 copies, 2 medium, 1 remote). I’d challenge you though, as unless you have a business generating tons of data, you really don’t have that much irreplaceable data. If its TV/Movies/Anime you can easily replace it. I do 3-2-1 backups on about 10TB of my 100. Its family photos, important documents, password manager VM backup - that kind of thing.
>In conclusion
Tell us what you’re storing and how much data it takes up and we can help you further.

This might not be the perfect thread to ask this, but it seems like the people here would be most likely to know about this.

I have a Linux machine. I put some (KVM/qemu) virtual machines on it, also running Linux. I want those machines to appear on the network as if they were separate machines, and fortunately there's a macvtap network option that's supposed to do that. In the VM, it seems to work, they get their own IP addresses, and if I tell my DHCP server to give them a specific one by MAC address that works fine and they pick it up. DNS works in the VMs, I have internet connectivity, etc.

But then if I try to ssh to them from a different machine, it doesn't work. ssh connects fine, but it goes to the VM host, not the VM itself. If I shut down the ssh server on the host but leave the VMs running, I just get a connection refused. While I was troubleshooting this, I tried to ping the other machine (my laptop, on the same subnet as the host and VMs) from the VM. The first six or so pings got dropped, and then I started getting replies. After doing this on the VM, everything works and sshing to them from my laptop works properly, it doesn't redirect everything to the host. ip route show reports that nothing changed between the working post-ping world and the broken pre-ping world, on either the host or the VMs.

What the fuck is going on here? I'm not exactly a master of networking, but I have no fucking clue how to even investigate this any further, or what kinds of things I should be searching for.

I was setting up KVM/qemu the other week too and had a kinda similar problem.

>How much would it cost me in hard drives alone, to do 100tb?
I bought (6) six of the 14tb EasyStores over Black Friday. After tax, that was 1.2k for all of that. I ended up buying another one like 3 weeks ago since they had another sale that wasn't as good as the Black Friday sale but I had a $10 coupon off their sale price of $219, so it wasn't too bad to the price now. Goodness.

But, that won't even get me 100tb usable. So, hoarding is pretty expensive. I'm waiting on a 5950x for my server, though.

Do you trust the chink micro controller to do hardware raid for you?
Do you trust yourself to never flick those small switches?

Just do software raid.

nice cock bro

I'm thinking of setting up an automated backup system through a rpi at my parent's house to backup my important NAS files at home with crontab during the night. They don't put their unlimited data plan to use anyway.

What's the best way to approach this with a rpi? Would these work / be safe?

> expose SSH port on backup rpi to the internet and use ssh and rsync
Is this dangerous, even if I would disable password login and only use key-based authentication?

> have the backup rpi be an sftp server.
(Not sure if it offers any advantages to the above, haven't really ever used this).

> connect backup rpi to my home VPN and use rsync.
Will be a pain to restore if it disconnects, so I would probably need to expose an ssh port to the internet anyway.

> have the backup rpi run a VPN server, and a home rpi connect to that VPN to backup.
Not sure if it is even possible for a machine to be connected to my home NAS on local LAN and another LAN through VPN at the same time.

> Other ideas?

Was finally able to add a 4x12 shucked drive set to my pool to augment the original 4x4 set that was nearly full. Should last a good bit before I need to get another 4 drives. after that though my case is full.

>>79693581
> a simple 2-bay external enclosure hooked up to computer (SBC or laptop).
Yea, just get a SBC. Odroid N2+ or Rpi4 maybe?

>I like it because it's covered rather than an open toaster
I guess. OTOH open toaster is fine too, using one for 5 bays (passively cooled).

> Do I need the RAID version?
You do not need the RAID version, you probably want mdraid under your own control.

there are so many great mods I hope they get preserved for the future

>>79699955
do you have the more creeps and weirdos mod?

>>79700160
And I have no idea why no one else has been working to preserve them all. There is this guy
map.crummy.com
but his archives only extend to 2018 and
mcarchive.net
only handles pre-release versions.
Now I'm only hitting curseforge, I have hit 9minecraft in the past, but if possible I will move onto other challenges in the future. I really like mods so it's been my focus, but I can't find anyone else willing to put the work into archiving. It's possible they exist but we don't know each other exist or we are staying silent. I want to get all the versions and create an offline launcher for all the Minecraft versions. I know stuff like multimc exists but I would like a script that grabs everything at once.
It's my one step towards an archived future.
>>79700255
I have the revival, the original isn't on curseforge. I have the original in a different, uncategorized folder.

I use ubuntu server with raid 1.
How do I have a script that sets off the mobo speaker when a drive is near failure?

>>79700440
Can't predict a "near failure" with any reliability.

I guess you could script something if mdadm has an error, usually people just send the log entries somewhere rather than beeping.

>>79700511
Checked

But what if I want this system to be retard proof. Like I don't check on it in a month and it runs a daily smart that beeps if the drive fails?

>>79676745
is that an ikea side table?

My kinda /hsg/ bro

>>79700593
Feel free to beep if mdadm or any entry matching the array/drives reports an error I guess? You can monitor the system log.

Thanks brahs, I was confused about whether software and hardware raid were separate or not. Now I now they are and will go with software.

And the problem with open toaster format is dust, otherwise I would go for one, it definitely looks cooler.

>>79676930
Yeah, I too am baffled by this.

>>79696961
Neither of my 10TB WD drives have a helium life counter in SMART unlike my 8TB HGST drive, are you sure they're HGST He drives?

>>79702765
>I was confused about whether software and hardware raid were separate or not.
I'm guessing a few implementations (by now) just use an embedded Linux for mdraid because why would they reinvent it from scratch and almost everything has embedded Linux in China.

But you can't update or control that. So definitely just go with your software.

> And the problem with open toaster format is dust
Easy to deal with (blow away / suck it up with vacuum) but sure.

>>79700613
