No, really, this is outrageous. Plex (the company) will refuse you to access "your" server because you dared to have it on Hetzner IP address, same as some retards who hosted Plex on Hetzner as well but sold access to it. This is absolutely disgusting, and it bears repeating: it is the opposite of selfhosting, when to log into "your" server running an instance of Plex, you have to ask Plex company servers to get a login token for "your" server. That's the major downside of Plex's authentication system that was done on purpose, and now lets Plex (company) cut off hosters from "their" "selfhosted" servers.

Jellyfin might be behind in development, might have some bugs and missing features, but dev team doesn't hold your server in control. Your server is yours. I highly recommend abandoning Plex, and if you have money to spare (perhaps saved from cancelling Plex Pass), donate it to devs who writw Jellyfin codebase. We all know it needs more love.

Would it be possible to just put a reverse proxy or VPN between the Hetzner server and Plex to maintain access and functionality?

>>96039521
>>96039603
wtf, plex is insane

>>96039689
I don't know. The code is closed source, unless you inspect network traffic you don't know how Plex server phones home to tell where it's hosted. Theoretically plugging entire Plex behind a VPN elsewhere than Hetzner would help _in that one case._
I wanted to put spotlight on the risk of a "selfhosted" product that not only phones home, but also REQUIRES the manufacturer to tell it whether you - the actual hoster of the server - can access your own server. I have been talking about this for a few years now, saying this is awful. Now you can see Plex company taking away your rights to use their software, because it turns out, it was never yours in the first place.
And that's happening probably because some media company was grilling Plex for "muh profiting off piracy" when some people use their software to sell warez.
>>96039724
They could have handled it better. They've decided to remind everyone they're the ones in control of consumers' servers, by design. And now people on Reddit in that thread linked keep posting FUD about how that's a good thing and nothing to absolutely ever think about.
In one word - disgusting. Plex shills on 4chan will try to ignore that topic as well, seems like the Jellyfin shilling thread has no mentions of Hetzner so far.

>>96039603
and I drew the line on plex when it cost money. nothing good ever comes from charging money for software

>>96040068
It is even worse as you do not own the software after you buy it, you are only licensing the ability to use it as long as Plex allows you to.

>>96040286
Would be nice if someone could fork Plex to a free version with all the bells and whistles. I’m sure they are planning on axing the media server capabilities in the next few years.

I have a poweredge t310 circa 2012 with dell's 375w non-redundant PSU
I replaced the 5.25" bays with a bracket that can hold 3x 3.25" drives and I want to put 7x 10-18TB HDDs in it, but i'm worried about blowing up the PSU
this PSU only has 2 sata ports, but how many drives could I daisy chain through extension cables before burning out the PSU?
there's also a proprietary 8pin connector labelled "P2" that I think is meant for a gpu, i'd been hoping to find an adapter to let me run more sata drives off it but i don't think such a thing exists

Rightfully so.
I have Microserver G8, it can't hold more that two 20TB drives. They unplug themselves on RAID rebuild.

anyone ever buy high capacity external arrays for data transfer then return them on amazon? do you ever get any pushback from the seller?

I'm not using Windows anymore, but I have some NTFS formatted data drives that I don't want to reformat and copy all the data around.
What should I do to maintain these drives as cold storage? Just hook them up every couple months to a Windows VM?

I'm using OMV and it mounts and reads/writes to them fine, but I thought were some Windows maintenance tasks that run to keep NTFS drives healthy.

I just got Syncthing set up to synchronize my password database between my phone and my computer. I'm thinking of using it to handle my music library, which I typically do with rsync. After some setup with rsync I can now just press a button on my phone to mirror my library from my desktop, with rsync only moving the data that's different or new (e.g. new songs, changed metadata on existing ones). Is syncthing reasonably good at the same thing?

So I either get virt-manager for virt-install or trash libvirt and use LXD if I can force it to use local images.

Actually, why is it that most of these managers want to take control of zfs?

I don't need these messing with the entire pool.

>>96044256
Depends on the local law. In some countries, the seller would be legally allowed to not refund complicated electronic devices (unless there's a defect of some kind)

Very interesting, I'll have to look into it more.
What are the chances it fails and corrupts the whole drive?

>>96044958
my thought was I would buy it, then request a refund right before it arrives, so I could say that I had the intention to return it before it arrived/was used, then use the return period to get the job done.

You could serve redditors hot diarrhea on a bowl and they'd find a way to eat it and praise themselves for it.

Looking to get a first home server for running home assistant, self-hosted cloud, backups and a media server. Would run 24/7 so I'm trying to keep it as low power as reasonable.
Currently looking at a used Lenovo Thinkcentre M900 Tiny with an i5 6500T, 8gb ram and 256gb ssd for €75. Would that suffice and is it a decent price?

So I just moved into my new home and I wanted to set up a home server. At first I considered using my older desktop, but the size/noise/powerdraw aren't really ideal for something I'd be running basically 24/7 just for file storage and streaming.

I do have an old laptop I don't use though. A lenovo y580 from 2012. Thing is I can't find any info online about what sort of power draw I can expect while it's idling. Anyone know where I can find info like that?

Hi anons, I know very little about this topic, but I want to set up a home machine running truenas just to store work documents and reaction pictures and such. The plan is for it to be an SSD array (just to appeal to my autism against spinning disks). Through my research, I have only found one case that is ITX with a backplane (silverstone cs280). Are there any other cases I should consider? are my requirements dumb? I just want something with a small footprint that's easy to maintain after it's built. Also, I hear the CS280 has cooling problems; should I be worried with SSDs?

Also, any general advise on hardware would be appreciated. I have yet to choose a motherboard. It seems there aren't very many on the market these days.

>>96045674
There are some edge-cases that can result in partial data corruption (check github issues). Anyway, if the data on the drive is of any importance, you already have it backed up. And if it's not important there's really nothing to worry about.

>>96045987
It makes sense to rent a VPS when you want to self-host a proxy or VPN. Also it's useful for dynamic DNS if your home server doesn't have a static IP.

>>96057700
>just to store work documents and reaction pictures
you must have an insane collection of reaction pics, if you think it's worth it to build an SSD array for that. xD

That's fair, I've got two 1tb drives, so I could just do one at a time and make sure the change goes through properly before doing the other.

ok, no, fuck it, I'm done with Node 804. I wanted to like it but for fucks sake, it's like there's almost zero noise reduction. HDDs vibrate, the entire case rattles, metal HDD cages hit plastic holders, bottom legs transfer a lot of that onto e.g. a cupboard you might want this cute case on. Also taking drives our for e.g. replacing them is awful, but I knew that beforehand. Same with cable management for these.
So far it seems that my Node 304 build is better in the noise department, but I'll have to retest. Define R5 with some tuning (bottom filter removed because of buzzing, HDD trays wrapped with gaffers tape to make a snug fit into bays) is much better.
I guess that I would hate rack hardware because of noise.
>>96056584
I prefer Docker on Debian/Ubuntu on host, less complexity esp. with storage. Proxmox makes sense when you know you'll want to run a lot of VMs. If just want to run one or two, I prefer managing them with libvirt on regular distro.

it's more likely about the Plex instances phoning home to Plex company servers, not about the IP that Plex instance appears to be on the internet. Cloudflare won't help in that case.

If you generalize the question to "why media server on a small VPS" - I can see that making sense for example in this situation:
>slow upload at home, no other ISP to switch to
>friends want to comfortably watch things that are unavailable on Netflix in your country because media companies don't want to license it
>run Jellyfin and a torrent client on VPS, download e.g. TV episodes as they're coming out, seed until you need to free up space for new requested media
It's not that implausible.
>>96043815
Maybe Plex had spent a few more years learning what kind of non-scene filenames people have, and polished their regexes to make parser more accurate? Perhaps this could be contributed to Jellyfin too?
>post your most fucked up filenames that Plex handles

>>96044820
>Is syncthing reasonably good at the same thing?
yup
>straight through my local network
yes, occasionally might bug out (if running Syncthing in Docker, use host networking mode for local discovery to werk, not greatest solution but eh)
>handling only the changed or new files in the synchronized folder
yeah, it tracks that in a hidden .stfolder
>a bitrate penalty relative to rsync
I haven't looked into that, it's unlikely. If anything, it can sync just the changed chunks of file, which might reduce transferred bytes.

I like that a comfy box right next to me (as long as it is noise dampened...) is 24/7 hosting a small piece of the huge Internet. That thousands of other servers talk with my server to make people happy. As for more practical reasons - I like buying storage (and hardware in general) once instead of renting it. It can be cheaper long-term.
However, I have a VPS too, and currently I use it for Uptime Kuma to check availability of my services across internet. I had another VPS for a small funny project, and honestly I want to do that again, have a VPS to care for. Or a dedicated server rented (cuz colocation expensive) somewhere in a DC. I'd probably use it for more public facing things, like a blog or things to be used by, well, strangers. Just to have a separation of concerns, kinda. And another box to give a cute pony name to.
>>96046004
the downside of already filling your entire case with HDDs

that's the thing - Plex will ban people who didnt sell access, but ran Plex on Hetzner IPs like people who sold access. Do you see how awful that is?

Looks neat. I would drop the requirement of a backplane, you can try e.g. Node 304 that way, especially with SSDs it can be ok and it's adorable, not sure about HDD noise so far.
>cooling problems; should I be worried with SSDs?
probably not so much
>general advice on hardware
ITX is expensive, as I've first hand experienced; for me it was cheaper to wait and buy a complete build with Node304 than buy parts separately, especially the smol motherboards are expensive here. For your purposes, something like 7th gen i3 or Celeron probably could be sufficient, same with lower AMD APUs. I'd start by looking at which ITX boards are available on your local marketplaces, then pick CPUs. Or maybe try one of those CPU+mobo ITX combos, like that J5005 or N100 models.
>>96060091

What are your use cases? If you don't need a lot of storage, a tinyminimicro will do like 5-10 watts in idle.

The 304 was actually my choice until I found the cs280, is was smaller and has the convenience of a backplane. It's a lot pricier than the 304 but I figured it was worth the convenience in the long term.
As for other parts, there's a lot of variety and I'm not sure which ones to pick. How should I differentiate between the various products? Should I go with AMD or Xeons?

For HDD cages, you want dampening or weight. I have a small roll of rubber tape that I used on the side of drive cages (can't be inside) and then some electrical tape on the contacting side of the disk itself. It sounds crazy but it prevents resonance from propagating. General noise is just gluing felting or foam material to the insides of the case panels. But those won't help if the noise is from your intake fans.
Don't know what you could do specifically about the hanging trays the node 804 uses.

They are trying to stay a viable business and they cannot do that by advocating for pirating. They have to take a stance or the pieces of shit will come after them. Which do you think is going to hurt more? Forcing plex into fighting some billion dollar movie industry or having some people have to redownload all there shit or backup everything the redeploy somewhere else. I don't really like plex for the shit they added (which wasnt a big deal to me but kind of annoying). I use plex and jellyfin. Majority is of time now is jellyfin.

Does anon know a very small, hopefully cheap case that can hold like 5 drives and a raspi or something?

I have 5 6TB drives and I wanted to make a small storage box

has anyone used BTFS on a raspberry pi server? I know you'd normally use something like Unraid for something like this, but I want to set up a simple file server that's relatively portable and has 4 drives and 1 parity.

>>96068149
A Pi doesn't have a single sata port, how would you even hook five drives to it?
Btrfs should probably work the same as in any modern Linux distro

>>96068426
I believe they make hats that have sata ports

>>96068149
doesn't the rpi use flash media? so you should use f2fs

Ehh, maybe they do
How about something like https://www.ebay.de/itm/225766884982

To me that looks like a fairly standard mini-dtx board, it's got six sata ports and with that Atom performance should be at least on par with a Pi. Sata performance will probably be heaps better than with a hat through some gpio pins.

>>96068149
>has anyone used BTFS on a raspberry pi server?
Raspberry Pis suck as file servers no matter what fs you use. They have dogshit IO and reliability.
>I know you'd normally use something like Unraid for something like this
Nobody who knows what they're doing would, no.

>>96068584
(cont)
A Node 304 should be able to take that board since it's got space for a dual slot GPU. And it would take your five drives with ease.

I'm upset because my Trane thermostat, which supports z-wave, is configred to only act as a control hub and even though I can add it to my existing z-wave network, I have no local control over it without using their shitty Nexia app.

I did some research and seems like people like the Honeywell T6 Pro for fully local Zwave control. Anyone use it? Considering buying one to replace my current thermostat.

Also I'm new to z-wave. What devices do you like having? I'll eventually get some bulbs and switches but that might be zigbee. Anything out of the ordinary?

What's good way to connect a lot of disk to my pi? I found it can't handle two 2.5" HDDs on its own, so I'm using a powered USB hub. But having to use a separate USB->SATA encloser for every drive is annoying and uses a lot of space (cabling us a bitch).

Is it possible to somehow link or match physical computers with existing computers listed in AD?

I've inherited a mess of an infrastructure.

Long story short, I need a new UPS for my server and networking shit.

Looking around at the local shops, it seems the most common brands available are APC, CyberPower and nJoy. Any advice on which would be OK to pick? The UPS needs to be compatible with Linux and ideally the management utility should have some network communication ability so I can have multiple computers shut down when there's a power outage (a Raspberry Pi and my server proper). APC seems to be generally considered OK and I know that the apcupsd management program has network functionality on Linux, so it would tick those boxes. The problem with APC is that the units are insanely expensive, like 600EUR+ for a sinusoidal output unit that can barely handle a smidge over 500W.

Any tips?

i never used Plex and never will but...how the fuck can they block your own server?
how the fuck do they even know where your server is? are they spying on you? is their client literal spyware?

this is what you get for not using open source software

>>96071885
AD computers just go by hostname (well, NetBIOS name)
Are you trying to digitally find the PCs? Or physically mark them? Check the DNS server for the IPs associated with the hostname (or DHCP) and then use ARP on your switches to find the switchport associated with each IP

>>96073684
>how the fuck can they block your own server?
Their servers tell your server if your server is allowed to let your client into your server. By refusing to provide this service to Hetzner subnets, you're essentially locked out of your server unless you do a workaround with allowing specific subnets to have admin without any auth at all.
>how the fuck do they even know where your server is?
phoning home to let normies log in via app.plex.tv, without having to worry about stuff like dyndns and IP addresses
>are they spying on you?
I wouldn't call them malicious per se, but I highly doubt that less than 50% users put pirated media inside. With enough pressure from media companies, Plex might become malicious. Just see how they've included ad supported movies and TV streamed from Plex company servers, and you don't have an easy way to globally opt out of that stuff (have to do that for each of your users).
>is their client literal spyware?
Closed source, so who knows. You might get some insight by decrypting HTTPS traffic.
My assumption is above - unless pressured, they won't fuck over their paying customers, but they shouldn't have the power to do so at all.
>this is what you get for not using open source software
Unfortunately currently Jellyfin has some obvious problems that some people encounter. I prefer FOSS wherever possible, and in my opinion this phoning back of Plex was just an absolute no-go. We have an anon who really likes PlexAmp for example, citing it as major reason to stay on Plex, but he's keeping an eye on Jellyfin's progress. I can understand that, that's reasonable - he's considered both options fairly and made an educated decision.
I hope that JF people figure out some way to have a good client on PS4/PS5 - right now Sony forbids using the SDK in open source projects. So it's not JF's fault but they seem like a worse option compared to Plex, which has clients even for your toaster.

am i right to assume setting net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 doesn't require any special attention on a vps in relation to internet hosts because they can't use the host as router since they would need to be on the same net as it requires physical addresses?

By enabling IP forwarding your allowing your clients to be utilized like a router, the second part doesn't make any sense, nothing requires physicality.

>>96075573
Do you want the potential legal hassle that your users would create?

>>96075861
My buddy had to deal with that. A client from China was scamming people on eBay from his VPS. He shutdown their account and he a few meetings with the police.

Sounds like an utterly terrible idea, it will guaranteed 100% be misused for illegal shit so I cannot possibly imagine it's going to be so profitable to be worth dealing with the law when they inevitably come knocking on your door.

Anyone use Home Assistant? Thinking about getting another Pi for this to control my smart lights. I have a bunch of Hue bulbs with a Hue bridge and saw on the app the other day that registration will be required. Of course that probably means that in a year they'll start requiring a subscription fee. So if I set up Home Assistant would this bypass my Hue bridge? Or I guess can I keep my Hue bridge without registering with Philips, or is there an alternative to that bridge that's more aligned with FOSS?

>>96076963
I use HA but don't have any Hue products. HA can act as a controller and hub for your devices. IIRC Hue is Zigbee so if you get something like a Skyconnect for the Sonoff Type P or whatever you should be able to build your own network wothout their bridge, unless they're doing some extremely jewish shit with their bulbs

So is it not possible to run plex on a private network that can't connect to the internet (specifically their servers)?

Anon, if you were making a 40TB network storage pool with the soul purpose of installing windows games/mods (and some software) directly onto it, how would you go about it? iSCSI or something else?

>>96080152
the answer is always ZFS
personally i like trueNAS cause BSD
more importantly you'll want a 10GbE or at least 2.5GbE network or any modern game with texture streaming will be a stuttering mess

I'm trying to connect to my NAS (an openmediavault instance running on proxmox and using SMB) remotely using a wireguard VPN hosted on the same server, but the NAS does not show up in the Network tab of windows file explorer. Any ideas on how to solve/troubleshoot this?

no need imo, consumer platform should be sufficient for your purpose (SATA SSDs mean you don't need to worry about PCIe lanes, like with NVMe).

Frankly I think it's best to throw money at Jellyfin devs (who are aware of the gained popularity recently) and hope something nice comes out of this. What Plex has done was silly, as people who they wanted to hurt with it, will just force Plex instance to talk to Plex company over a VPN outgoing from bumfuck nowhere (not Hetzner). In the longer run, they won't be affected.
As someone else said on their (surprisingly less circlejerky than subreddit) forum - maybe the management just wants to get rid of selfhosting users. They probably don't bring enough profit (with lifetime Pass, or without it), and are an annoyance on the road of Plex company to become another ad supported VOD + redirector to other VODs.
To repeat someone else's clever observation here: it seems that they've had a decent _small_ profitable company with a loyal userbase, but now want to pivot to being a constantly growing moneymaker. If we have an anon who has dad in Plex and can tell wtf is actually going on with their business strategy that doesn't see fucking over selfhosting userbase as a downside - I'm all ears.
>>96066967
It has the benefit of being "first" to the market, and gaining popularity quickly due to being pretty ok piece of software early (afaik). The centralized auth can be seen as a hand extended towards slightly techie normies who just wanted to have their own DVDs available over internet. But they still could've left this as an option, not a pretty much the only choice.
>>96066979
>if they had a vastly superior product you could get away with this.
They used to! Interesting that it's seemingly like another step towards downfall of Plex as a selfhosted media server company, and nobody will care about their history when they become just another VOD.

My thoughts are that I barely know what that is, I'm basically starting from scratch here.

I installed Gentoo once, 20 years ago. That's the extent of my direct Linux experience.

I'm planning to format my new data drive for OMV with BTRFS. It's just a single disk setup.
I've never used BTRFS before, do I need to do anything to maintain the file system or will it just work?

>>96083479
>It's just a single disk setup.
you'll be fine, just be sure to enable SSD optimizations if you aren't using spinnan rust

>>96067785
If those drives are externals already, I'd just buy a tinyminimicro and plug them with USB. Cheap way.
>>96068149
>normally use something like Unraid for something like this
Not really, unlike what Unraid marketing department would like you to believe. I don't like proprietary storage systems that lock you into just one OS forever (because who wants to migrate terabytes of data).
Yeah I've used btrfs on RPi, it werks. For something more similar to what Unraid storage solution provides, look into a combination of mergerfs and snapraid.
>>96069379
I wonder if it's my autism or what, but I can't look at IoT stuff and think: this should be all compatible with each other by design. You shouldn't have to use 19 apps for each "ecosystem".
I hope you have luck with your smart thermostat journey, anon.
>>96069943
SATA hats are a thing, 1x USB -> n SATA enclosures are on the market too. Some with shitty controllers that unplug all drives when you hotswap one. When I was on a tinyminimicro, I was just using external drives but as you've said it can get clunky, especially in tight places.

I kinda want to get smart and magically design a cheap as fuck 3D printed and open hardware etc. drive enclosure for SBCs and tinyminimicros. But that's a huge project even if I find some magic USB-SATA controllers that are reliable. Tiny computers should have a right to have tiny but good storage cases.
But on the other hand with a bit of luck you can get something like Node 304 pre-owned build with proper SATA etc. for not that much money. So I'm not sure if it's even worth investing time and effort into learning electronics, acoustics, etc. and designing a case like that.
A prototype could be something as simple as PCIe to M.2 riser, a HBA, PSU and 3d printed HDD holder (but that's the hard part - make annoying HDDs quiet). Even that prototype is pretty costly, especially due to HBAs having variable pricing around world. I'd have to figure out something cheaper to make sense.

while I'd love to work with a private/public cloud (compute + managed services like dbs/k8s) at some point, I don't think that it's worth it to be just a VPS provider. Not sure how I'd market to people, and I'd be worried about people doing malicious things from IPs belonging to me.
Hosting some managed services like Nextcloud or Matrix for example seems like a slightly safer bet. Still seems difficult to market, but I'm not a "business person". That's a small business I'd like to run though.

I'm not sure about the Linux builds, but afaik Windows and macOS builds are as of April required to be "claimed" (plugged into account on Plex company servers) to work at all. Even if you bypass that, you'd have no automatic metadata, unless doing that thing where you import text from Kodi-style .nfo files (not the scene kind with group artwork and greets etc.) next to media files.

as far as i can tell it's not possible to pass through a mounted physical disk to a virtual machine, and the reason behind this is because it could lead to data corruption in the disk in question
im not very experienced, and i was really hoping that i'd be able to expose a mounted disk that was already in use in a host machine to my network via a virtual server so that files could be passed back and forth from the host to a nextcloud instance, but is this just plain silly? i'm guessing the correct way to do this is to just use a dedicated hard disk for the virtual server, and then map the drive to some mount point in the host machine with computer magic

the only way to share resources like that is though shared memoory. libvirt uses virtiofs but it's not the boot device your os gets installed on.
the other way to share files is with a network share like smb or nfs.
if you want your boot to be shared you can use nfs directory and pass the connection details through the kernel command line, you will still need a disk to hold the kernel on the guest.

>>96086743
>it's not possible to pass through a mounted physical disk to a virtual machine
Bullshit isn't it? So you gotta install the (((guest tools))) for shared folders. Somehow the corruption issue gets solved!

fuck off bootlicker

I'm looking for a new motherboard + CPU for my server. I have an old asrock rack with an i3-4130T cpu, the single pci-express port is already used by a 10G SFP+ network card. Impossible to transcode properly with jellyfin under these conditions.
In terms of processors, I'm spoilt for choice with Intel, preferably in socket 1700, but there are also a few socket 1200 options with an igpu capable of decoding the AV1 codec (this is hard requirement).
As for the motherboard, it's a real mess. Asrock Rack and its "deep mini-itx" format piss me off. Other motherboards in the server range are often overpriced, and if I look at desktop/gaming motherboards, mini-itx is often limited to 4 SATA ports, so I need at least 6 (with a m2 slot, of course).
I'd like to keep my node 302 case , but if I really have to switch to micro-atx to find something suitable, I could go for another case.
I'd also like to have a motherboard with an IPMI port.
Any suggestions?

>>96090025
Are you going to encode everything in av1 or did you mean to say av1 encoding? Because transcoding isn't going to be much better if your endpoints don't play av1

>>96090112

There is not a single acceptable reason why they will restrict access to your content on your server.
Fuck off, shill.

>>96090144
No scene remux/webrip is available on AV1 atm. You'd still need a GPU capable of both encoding and decoding, unless you want to kill that poor i3. It's not even that great of an idea to re-encode high quality h265 remuxes, since the storage savings are minimal.

picrel from my tracker, it is slowly but surely becoming available and I want to future proof my server build.
But instead of looking for a CPU capable of decoding AV1, I might be better off going down the micro-ATX route, replacing my case, buying a cheap mobo + CPU + some discrete GPU capable of both encoding & decoding AV1, such as an Intel Arc 380?

>>96090235
>picrel from my tracker, it is slowly but surely becoming available
Those are not scene releases.

You can get a cheap gtx1650 (TU117 version) now and upgrade it when av1 will get proper scene releases. No need to overspend now.

Arc and AV1 support on Plex/Jellyfin is shoddy at best atm.

>>96090302
>You can get a cheap gtx1650 (TU117 version) now
My single PCI-E slot is already occupied by a network SFP+ card, so if I wanna upgrade now, my choices are:

>Micro-ATX motherboard, with whatever CPU, a discrete GPU (GTX 1650 or Intel), and my sfp+ card

Lel. Do you exclusively host your vlogs on your Plex/Jellyfin server?

>>96090371
You're not going to be transcoding high quality video without a dedicated card. Just because something is available in av1 and you can decode it doesn't mean you can encode in any other format better. you might as well direct play. the whole point of hardware acceleration is to be a le to quickly encode in a format the endpoint can play back. your endpoints aren't playing av1. If you don't have the hardware to encode then best don't bother with encoding and just get a format your endpoints can direct play

>>96091770
Most 50$ routers will handle wired gigabit just fine. You'll pay extra for better wifi and some features like VPN server. Most of the other stuff is just memes (e.g. USB ports for NAS functionality)

As long as you own the device and the device does the routing, you should be fine, since you'll be able to control the traffic (e.g. setup port forwarding).

thanks, i think i'll buy a TP-Link Archer C6 then. it's just 40 euro and it seems to be fine

>>96091770
Get something with good OpenWrt support. On most routers you can do gigabit routing nowadays but will have to use hardware offloading, which doesn't work with complex firewall rulesets and fucks up traffic counters on OpenWrt at least.
I'm pretty happy with a Xiaomi AX3200, fwiw.

>>96091770
A basic SOHO router is going to be completely fine if all you want it to do is basic routing. I have an Asus AC68U which must be a decade old or some shit at this point, it handles my 1Gbps internet connection perfectly well and I don't really have any more advanced needs than that plus some port forwarding and DNS configuration.

Is there a way to use a web ui to encode videos on my home server? iirc Adobe Media Encoder lets you send encoding loadouts to an external servers. Are there similar tool using ffmpeg?

>JellyfinChads...... We won......
We may have won... But at what cost?

jk it was free all along

I know a NAS doesn't require that much beef on its own, but if I'm wanting to do a media server, then is a NAS even optimal?
In the case of a media server, I've read that if I want to stream to other devices in the house that I need to have a system capable of handling that encoding load.
I'm wondering if having a separate dedicated NAS is introducing unnecessary latency into the system or if I'm completely overthinking it?
So, one beefy do-it-all, or a modular system?

I'm also not sure how much additional complexity I'd be adding and if that's something I should be aware of.
Any input is appreciated

Except all the features you decided to ignore because it was free

>>96093366
If you have a NAS already might as well keep using it and have a second media server. If you don't have a NAS yet you can get one with a modernish cpu for transcoding.
You only need a dedicated gpu if you're doing multiple streams especially at 4k. Doing one or two 1080p streams is fine on an igpu.
>then is a NAS even optimal
Almost never even for NAS stuff. You can build something more powerful than a NAS for less if you do the OS install work yourself.
>I'm wondering if having a separate dedicated NAS is introducing unnecessary latency into the system or if I'm completely overthinking it
You're overthinking it. Latency over LAN is basically nothing for your purposes.

I'd avoid that, usually it's the other way around - you got a NAS appliance first and then realized it's not performing well enough.
>>96086743
Mostly due that reason I prefer containers instead of VMs, kr at the very least, mounting storage into VM on filesystem level using e.g. NFS rather than on block level. Traffic should use virtualized NIC and exceed gigabit or whatever you have on physical NIC.
But overall containers just made it easier - you can create as many bind mounts to the same directory as you want. And with docker-compose it was pretty easy to manage a lot of them.
>>96087108
Only at the location with unstable power grid.

You could learn more by reading things carefully, anon. I don't like people selling warez, and those people will bypass the block quickly. It's the people who didn't do anything wrong, that will now have to work around this or change providers - that's what I'm dissatisfied with.
And Plex company shouldn't have means to remotely prevent access to those instances in the first place. That's my main point. Not to mention that a whole ASN block is silly.

Am I looking in the wrong place? It seems that usb to serial ports exist but I can't find a usb connected serial display. I don't even really need such a thing but I saw how cheap some displays on a basic """hacker""" board are.
Can someone even show me what this sort of gizmo is supposed to entail? It's like some magical thing that everything references as a troubleshooting tool but I've never seen what one looks like.

I don't know why I'm on this tangent.

>>96088973
>How is this so foreign to you?
They make software. They don't (well, used to not) provide data for the software. Someone puts bad data in the software on their machine and sells access to that. Where is the fault of software developer?
I can see that getting much less black and white because the company that used to be software developer, now also wants to be content provider themselves. I have no insight in what media industry is like, so I want to figure out what kind of leverage that some big corp had over Plex company. Was it something like this?

you could get a HBA for more SATA ports, that's what I did for my Node 304 build, but it does use like 10 watts typically (even the 9211-4i chip I've got). Dell H310 is usually available cheap, just need to (well, should) flash IT firmware on it.
Those tiny builds are difficult but very satisfying when you figure out a way to get everything you need. I'm low key thinking about downsizing 8 -> 6 HDDs. Even just 70 TB should be enough for a few years, right?
>>96090235
>picrel from my tracker
That seems to be reencodes, especially those webrips. Usually that means lower quality than original source (which has already been encoded 1-2 times).

>>96099391
If you're on Linux, USB serial ports usually pop up as /dev/ttyUSB<number>, like /dev/ttyUSB0 or some such. You can read and write data through them normally, as with any other serial port. If you're on Windows, these pop up as COM ports. You can find them in Device Manager in the appropriate category and once again you can read and write data to them as normal.

>>96090433
>can just find another host.
Just like the baddies who sold access can. Does that mean it's ok, anon? What if 4chins mods decided to ban your entire ISP because someone else on those IPs posted one too many colorful horsies outside of the quarantine board for them? Would that be cool with you?
Sure, you might change the ISP, or use some VPN, I don't know. There's really more than one complaint here:
>their ASN ban is a minor inconvenience at most for the bad guys, but an unexpected and unwarranted discrimination for legit guys
>they shouldn't have right to outright remotely "self-destruct" instances of their software, no matter what the reason is.
Self-destruct in quotes, because at least they didn't get the brilliant idea to remotely

rm -rf /media

for everyone who was hosting on Hetzner. That would be fucking hilarious.
>>96090743
Excuse the confusion, I was posting that quickly and with a question mark because I wasn't sure but didn't have time to spin up VPS and check myself. It would seem that with two servers on the same network (public or private), and with one with forwarding enabled and no firewall rules, you could hop through server2's public IP by:
>ip route add 1.1.1.1 via server2publicIP
since VPS/dedis often get the public IP bound to NIC (no NAT), that sounds like it would work. Could you check that, anon?
>>96091970

>>96093019
not exactly that, but rffmpeg exists. Meant for Jellyfin as a transcoder, but can be used as a more normal ffmpeg wrapper too. You might have luck with e.g. Handbrake + vnc server + novnc, I think there are a few Docker images with all that preconfigured.

>>96084078
>you access it by \\ip.ad.dr.ess\\share-name
Thanks anon, I was trying to access by the hostname which was probably the issue.

>>96093366
>but if I'm wanting to do a media server, then is a NAS even optimal?
I firmly believe that NAS, as in a proprietary, locked down NAS appliance is not worth it long-term. Especially if you're posting in /hsg/, that usually means you like tech and don't mind learning more of it. Don't buy a computer that pretends to not be a computer, and asks a lot of money to do that.
>I need to have a system capable of handling that encoding load.
Streaming != transcoding, you don't have to do the latter every time you do the former. It's best to avoid transcoding unless you need to push media over lower bandwidth network, or if client device can't direct play your files (e.g. HEVC, PGS subs, HDR, etc.) - those 2 cases are when it's beneficial. Good to have, best to use as rarely as possible.
>one beefy do-it-all, or a modular system?
I'm kinda in the middle of rethinking my computing situation, but I would say that a safe default would be just one decent server. Especially I wouldn't advise going with underpowered NAS appliance + actual computer because NAS is too slow/has too fucked up OS (that you can't replace, because why would you?) to run Docker or whatever properly.
Usually my recommendation is to look at 6th gen and above Intel CPUs, often found in tinyminimicros and their bigger bros from enterprise lines of Lenovo, HP and Dell respectively. Though 6th gen is now not really supported by Intel, so 7-8 might be better bet. Anyway, cheap shit nowadays. Even a 6th gen i3 can be sufficient because it has hardware acceleration for transcoding. 7th gen and above adds hardware decoding of 10-bit HEVC which is most 4K media nowadays.
>>96095506
Even if you don't want to run OpenWrt immediately, it's nice to have something compatible with it. When router manufacturers add dumb shit like Alexa (wtf) to their software it's good to know you can have clean, better supported and usually secured system on the router you bought x years ago. Also stuff like Wireguard on rtr.

>>96099592
>what did you mean by this
i mean that using an argument your target audience isn't interested in hearing nor cares about is a losing game retard. you need to tell them something they understand.

>>96099767
>Even a 6th gen i3 can be sufficient because it has hardware acceleration for transcoding.
I meant here that 6th gen is when Intel's H.264 encoder got good enough. 4th gen was just noticeably shittier.
>>96095821
I'm still using some of idle brain cycles to settle on a way for logging of my home Kubernetes cluster. If my services are going to be highly available, I should have the log ingestion HA as well, right? But should I run it on the same cluster, on another cluster, or outside of K8s and manage e.g. with Ansible instead?
Ideally I'd like to have a convenient way to comb through logs. Loki so far seems more pleasant than ELK stack for quickly grepping stuff.
>>96096795
>miss the point entirely

yeah, usually people connect other computers to get serial console for machines (typically embedded stuff). FWIW I'd also be interested in a convenient way to get serial output from my server to somewhere else, e.g. laptop, without having to use a USB to serial converter.
>I don't know why I'm on this tangent.
It feels like SSH the first time you're seeing it. An entire new way to access your computer you haven't heard of before. I like serial console on my VMs.
>>96099664
Oh yeah, it might resolve to another address. You can check that with

>>96099786
I see, thanks for explaining anon. I've assumed that what I've posted above (on the technology board, after all) is a good balance between general enough to understand it's shitty and specific enough to not sound like "plex bad" unless you're already into years long discussions about distr^H^H^H^H media servers.

>>96096269
I appreciate the sanity check.

>>96099767
I wasn't thinking of a proprietary pre-built, primarily just a distinct low-power system, and relying on the power of the main server for transcoding. I will be doing 4k, but not serving to multiple clients (max 2 potential clients, but not likely). I also didn't realize modern CPUs had enough kick to handle that load on their own, so that's really good to know.
I do think you've convinced me to just integrate it all into a one build though, and to just not worry about optimizing a minimalist system, especially if they'll just be in the same closet anyway.

I can always wait to make a Frankenstein stand-alone of spare drives for storage of less demanding media, later.

Generally, the current "strategy" of lawers and middle managers that want their money is to go after the tool maker instead of individual tool users. Like how your ISP gets the letter about your torrents instead of (You), and happens a lot with stuff like firearms. This allows them to focus on a few known entities instead of a near infinite number of criminals in the making.

That frees up the PCI-Express port, on which I'm going to put a GTX 1650 (or even a GTX 1630 now that they're available, I'll keep an eye on the benchmarks) for my transcoding needs, and put a CPU like a Ryzen 5500 on top.

If you have any other recommendations for mini-ITX motherboards with IPMI, please let me know.

>>96118646
https://pikvm.org/
here you go anon, add ipmi to any motherboard.

>>96118626
be careful when updating the bios, a few anons in this general reported issues with functionality.

>>96118331
I have that motherboard.
The IPMI interface is atrocious. It's slow, barely skinned from native AMI defaults. Fan control doesn't work at all - you have to use raw IPMI. E-mail notifications are useless because ASRock didn't fill anything in, expect e-mails like "event 421512 happened, fuck you".
There is a critical design fault in the BMC: by default the BIOS assumes that the PCIe x16 is the default GPU, not the BMC GPU. Despite having a web interface BIOS Setup equivalent that particular setting is NOT available in it. You have to change it physically. Every BIOS update resets the BIOS settings, just like on any consumer board, which includes the default GPU. When you update via the web interface you will lose the BMC console until you go and change that setting physically back. It's not really a problem because there aren't any more updates in typical ASRock fashion.
Boot times are hilariously bad, but it's part for the course of "server" boards from incompetent vendors.
Other than that the board is a good compromise between mainstream and server.

>>96118667

>>96118968
yep, that's a good option too.
although, ipmi for a home server is kinda a meme. it's not like it's in a datacentre halfway around the world, it's in your closet. it if locks up or fails to boot, power cycle it or plug a portable monitor into it.

Fuck off.

I have a Ruckus Unleashed WiFi setup and it works great, and I have an OpnSense router that also works great. I want to set up a policy that my kids can only use the internet for like three hours a day, and also can't use it after 8pm, but I can't wrap my head around what kind of RADIUS nonsense I need to use to tie it all together.
So far I've created a new WLAN that uses 802.1x authentication, and it points back to FreeRADIUS running on the OpnSense box. It works as expected, Unleashed shows users associated with devices connected to the WLAN, but I can't find a way to have RADIUS tell Unleashed that this user is no longer allowed to use WiFi and kick his ass off.
Some guides say I should have RADIUS provide a per-user VLAN back to Unleashed and then use OpnSense to block the VLAN according to a schedule. Fine, except when I put a VLAN into the FreeRADIUS setup for a user, it never makes it back to Unleashed... I think I'm missing something.
Help anons, I've been working on this for like a day and not making much progress.

the solution is to tell your kids to get off the internet when it's time to get off

>>96121889
Sure, but I'm not looking to have to monitor or manage it. And a policy thing would manage it for me even if I'm not at home.

>>Find a guide about freeing a driver and giving a device to vfio_pci
>>But need to give user permissions to the iommu group
>>Saw a warning about invoking qemu as root somewhere else
I'm not sure what you're using, I just installed libvirt and most of that shit is already handled. When it runs a VM, it runs as the libvirt-qemu user, not as root. As for vfio_pci, it's not such a huge deal either. All you need is to have the kernel modules loaded and tell vfio_pci which IDs the hardware it should grab has. You may or may not also need to add a few lines of config to have vfio_pci load ahead of other drivers for the hardware you want to pass through, to make sure those other drivers don't grab it first. That being said, vfio_pci isn't even required for everything. I know for instance you need it for GPU passthrough, but it's not required with the AMD USB controllers on my hardware for instance. The USB controllers just switch between host and VM on-demand.

>>96124164
vfio_pci and the device ID is in the modules for the grub config and modprobe.d vfio config, but it didn't capture anything on reboot. But I also found that vfio_pci wasn't even loaded, so maybe I need to put that into /etc/modules too. The only other thing I haven't done is remake the initramfs.
>vfio_pci isn't even required for everything
Right, that's what I'm gathering too. It's just a nic with nothing even plugged in and not defined in the interface config either. But it'd be nice if all this extra nonsense I did worked as intended.
>libvirt
So I should run the qemu command under virsh instead? There isn't an xml file of the config for it to run off yet, so I figured I would need to get it running and installed first before libvirt could make the xml and take over for subsequent starts.

No I don't know what I'm doing. But I'm pretty close to attempting something from the info I've gathered.

>>96124844
It sounds like you're doing something pretty different compared to what I did. I only needed to edit the grub config to change the kernel command line, but that's only to enable IOMMU, not to configure vfio_pci. I don't think there's any need to attempt to rawdog qemu either, just use libvirt from the get-go and make the VM through virt-manager. It will generate the XML from the start, you can edit it if you want to fine-tune anything which the virt-manager GUI doesn't give you an option for.

I used this guide for the most part, it's a bit out of date so you need to adjust some things here and there, plus it's a bit overzealous on the vfio_pci part but it's good overall (config files to specify IDs and to load it ahead of other drivers are enough).

>>96125321
Realized I've been running circles for no reason. Didn't want to use virt-manager because this is headless and it doesn't have a webgui, but I couldn't find virt-install info.
>virt-install is available separate from virt-manager in the repository
>virt-install basically takes the same arguments as the qemu line I was working on
I should be able to get this working soon. Maybe.

>>96125759
virt-manager doesn't need to run on the VM host to work, you can use it remotely. It goes over SSH.

>>96125802
>It goes over SSH
wtf, that's neat. Completely skimmed over that detail since it was gui anyway.
Unfortunately my main is still windows. The VM has a serial console install mode, and virsh (should) automatically make the console for my ssh session to work in.

I had many problems with it so I don't really suggest using it, but Ampache tics all those boxes. It supports the subsonic API so any subsonic app *should* work. My experience was poor, it might have been due to the fact that Ampache was setup in docker but didn't really seem designed to run in Docker. Maybe it's better than it was like 6 months ago, idk. Jellyfin has almost all of that, except the podcasts I think. Take a look at some of the other subsonic API servers. Airsonic might also fit your requirements.

We have nice tools for local AI art generation, but what about voice assistants? The closest I have found is mycroft. Anyone do anything substantial with attempting to make your own voice assistant? Something like a dumb Alexa

>>96039521
>Plex
Why would anyone use this over Jellyfin?

>>96128436
It has more features and fewer bugs. Some people care about that more than it being a proprietary nightmare.

Got a nice little thinkcentre M900 with an i5 6500 and 256GB SSD.
Installed proxmox and I'm currently running home assistant and pihole. All great.
Now I want to setup a reverse proxy so I can have nice urls in my local network like proxmox.home instead of having to remember the IP and port for every service.
Thought I could use pihole and nginx proxy manager but I'm having trouble getting it working.
I'm a complete noob so if anybody can point me in the right direction that would be cool.

>>96125904
You could always manage your VMs from a VM on your Windows PC, probably from WSL too if you don't want some specific VM software.

>>96128903
buy a domain

>>96130675
Why would I need to buy a domain if I just want this working on my local network?

>>96130685
no, but it's the only way to get signed certificates if you have devices that don't let you import new self signed root ca and certs when you start working with ssl

>>96130764
it's kinda weird how this encourages using unsecure http rather than https

>>96128903
I don't think you even need a reverse proxy if all you want is to resolve domain names on your own network. You just need custom DNS entries in your local DNS server.

>>96131947
If someone is going to MITM your internal network you may have other problems.

>>96133187
the company i worked for had problems with this as well because getting certs was a hassle

>>96133263
Getting certs is only a hassle if you don't know how to use LE and have $10/yr for a domain.

>>96132978
Proxmox runs on a funky port, it's https on 8006. So if anon wants to avoid remembering that, a reverse proxy is a good option.
Though I just use a landing page that has links to everything. Most of it is reverse proxied, but some of the funky stuff is just url/port.

>>96133732
never used proxmox, but surely that can be remapped to 443 or just set to plain http on 80?
>landing page
Yeah that's another way of doing it

>>96045987
For me, it's because it saves money in the long run. I have 8 VMs running on my proxmox server. Even if I were to choose the cheapest EC2 instances with 0.5 GB RAM on AWS that'd be $40 a month + storage and data transfer and whatnot.

>>96133712
the person who was responsible for giving out certs was stingy with them and slow

>>96133809
>never used proxmox, but surely that can be remapped to 443 or just set to plain http on 80?
Not really. You can put a reverse proxy on each Proxmox host, then close the default 8006 to anything but 127.0.0.1, which accomplishes the same thing but it's not really "remapping" it, at least it in my mind.

No idea what that is, but for local names I run dnsmasq

The card in my home server isn't really fast enough for Cyperpunk. It's not even a slow card, but all the latest bells and whistles are just too much in that game. I hooked up my old CRT monitor to my VFIO VM for shits and giggles, it could even run Cyberpunk at 1600x1200 60FPS without DLSS.

I've been digitizing home movies and throwing them into a jellyfin catalog. I have jellyfin setup for my in-laws and parents. Remote access through whitelisting their IPs.

Dynamic IPs from the ISP. I can access my firewall settings remotely. But what is the best way for them access it, mostly secure? Reverse proxy, tunneling, setting up a domain? Should purchased domains be .com .net . . . Etc and not ex .monster or .pics

I enjoy learning about the hobby, but was unable to get a cloudflare tunnel to work. Messed with nginx, not sure if I should revist.

>>96138132

Why not give them accounts instead?

Daddy-in-law is going to call you next week and ask you why the movies are not working anymore after in-law-mom unplugged the router for the phone charger.

normies are too stupid for VPNs. even if you set up their entire home network properly, they are going to complain when it's not working from anywhere else but home.
just let them use login credentials like big corporations have taught them.

True. Logins with hardware 2FA tokens.

>>96138505
Just fafo.

>>96138412
Well, you asked for secure and I gave you secure. Also you should mention that you own a domain and are capable of using https. That goes a long way for making something secure, but of course you have to pay for that.
