>NAS Case Guide. Feel free to add to it:

https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server/Case_guide

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all

about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about
networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and
configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and
chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack
and report back.

>What software should I run?

Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavour of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Plex to replace
Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the
awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving
applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself
and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to
them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

One thing I can imagine going slightly wrong is some better drives hitting market once I'm halfway through
this purchase plan. Then I'd have to rethink my strategy. So far thinking about trying Seagate for once,
e.g. X18 18TB or X16 16TB.
That ZFS RAID-Z expansion could come a bit sooner, would give me some more breathing room by
adding a couple of drives to current array.

 Server mobo has 2.5G Ethernet, looking to upgrade my switches to make use of it. Can
/hsg/ recommend some unmanaged 5 and 8 port models, with just two 2.5G ports? I
don't need more, and I don't want to spend too much. 5 port switch would have server
and uplink to core switch on 2.5G, 8 port "core" switch would have one 2.5G downlink to
the other switch, and that'd be sufficient as well. Goal is to saturate gigabit WAN and be
able to copy data from SSD to another LAN machine at gigabit at the same time.

Just stripe on mirrored vdevs you keep adding two disks every time to the pool, expanding as you go. You
can start with just two. The only problem is that it won't be balanced since only new writes will get striped
to the new pair.

I'm running my own mail server for nearly 10 years now and I've not had many issues at all. Set up DKIM,
DMARC and make sure the mails you send from the machine can be reverse dns queried to the domain
you're sending as. That alone solves 99% of the problems people have with selfhosted email.

There is the odd EMail provider here and there that have extra wishes before they whitelist your domain,
but it isn't a big deal really and you get notified if a mail doesn't go through. I think the German Telekom
required me to add a contact info for the "person responsible for email communication on the domain" for
example. Full name and address and an email address on the website.

It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

I just checked my settings again because I haven't touched it in ages.

I no longer even use DKIM and DMARC, only an SPF record + an MXE record and that seems to be
enough for all major email providers to prove that my server is allowed to send mail for my domain.

How would I go about configuring a graphic novels library that I can read on jellyfin?

I downloaded a graphic novel on MAM through readarr but it came as a .cbr and
jellyfin whines about comicinfo.xml not being there. From what I gather, cbr is a
cucked file format and I should really try to get cbz files, but ideally I'd just download
whatever and it'd work. Is there software that will generate the appropriate
metadata? Or maybe if I use calibre instead of jellyfin (I'd rather not) the problem won't exist?

/hsg/ gave me skills to get a cloud job. You know, there's a saying:
 >"Dad, what are clouds made of?"
>"Linux servers, mostly."
Cloud admin/devops builds on top of on-prem Linux admin experience. You can learn Docker by running
anime downloading stack in composes, and a few months later reuse this knowledge to debug malfunctioning
webshit on K8s. I had numerous encounters where I reused results of long thinking at home to do similar
thing at work, and the other way around as well. And of course we had issues where something higher level
(some K8s networking issue) had its roots in low level Linux departments (conntrack limit) that I've faced at
home while fixing some other issue.
In my opinion this hobby gives you an extremely valuable set of skills, as long as you want to learn and feel
the thrill when shit goes online. Cloud just gives even more cool shit to play with. Like, for example, a
Kubernetes cluster is arguably not necessary for beginner selfhoster. It is, however, cool to mess with when
you're paid to do so at work.

It's a mixed bag of experiences, some anons say they're fine with it and don't get automatically thrown to
spam blacklists, some do, some have their ISP block port 25 outgoing so you can't send email and have to
use a relay (either a commercial service, or e.g. a VPS). There are tools like mailcow, mailinabox to make
Linux mail server setup easier. There's a middle ground option, you can pick some local hosting provider and
pay them to host mail (and ensure you're off blacklists). You get some experience with setting up domain, you
get some control over server setup (e.g. catchall). Just something to consider. Friends selfhost their mail
servers on Hetzner and say it's ok.

I've been considering getting this and then just buying a 2TB M.2 SSD and 64GB DDR5 RAM for it. I
need a server to practice skills for things like Wintel Sys Admin (AD, DNS, DHCP, ADFS,
SysInternals, CA, etc), additionally I need to practice a lot of virtualization skills on platforms like
VMWare, Nutanix, and Citrix... Wondering if this hardware is the way to go, or if I'd be better off
getting two cheaper Mini PCs instead to practice more cluster type things.

I live in a small cramped apartment with another person so not making the mistake of buying a
bunch of shitty second hand rack servers again.

Typically you wouldn't expose your docker services at all outside of their private network. You use a reverse
proxy to bridge that private network to the "real" network, and you can allow some services to be exposed to
the internet (or not) at that layer. The docker services themselves don't need to know if they're on the internet
or not.

>Nutanix
Last I checked, Nutanix had some pretty strict hardware requirements, so be sure whatever you get meets
those else you're going to have a bad day. Like for example it used to require one of a very few Intel NICs,
and I doubt that box you're looking at has one of them.
>Citrix
I wouldn't bother trying to learn Citrix XenServer. It's a dead platform that I haven't seen in the real world
in at least a decade.
>VMWare
Not yet dead, but will be within a few years, at least in any company that isn't stuck in 2005. It's good to
know in case you run into it, but you probably won't.
My advice would be to get something like that, load VMWare or Proxmox or something on it, then load a
few Linux VMs and make them do K8s stuff together. Spend your time learning on that K8s layer rather
than the virtualization layer, because AWS/Azure already figured out the virtualization layer.
Also, that thing seems expensive. I have a couple of Acer prebuilts I got off eBay for like $220. They came
with 10th or 11th gen i3s that are plenty powerful to run a handful of VMs.

> Nutanix
Thanks for such a detailed response. I think you're right about Nutanix being a bit temperamental with
certain (especially AMD) CPUs. I'll have to confirm it for sure, maybe I'll be better off going with an Intel-
based NUC/Mini PC with that in mind.

> Citrix
This was my impression too. But I recently switched jobs and we seem to have a number of clients reliant
on Citrix so I wanted to get at least partly across it. I do have the option to avoid it entirely, but I'm trying to
become "the guru" for everything that everyone comes to for help with me being quick to know the answer
(That's my goal.. Kind of embarrassing I guess) - But you have made me reconsider whether it's really
worth the effort/time for a platform that's essentially legacy/crapware at this point.

>VMWare

I keep coming across it and my knowledge of it is limited to "We have this VMware problem, can you fix
it?" and having to google to learn and perform things like boot LUN migrations. It's a hit stressful not
having a strong understanding of this platform and doing tasks in ignorance and knowing the potential
ramifications.

>Proxmox/k8s
Thanks, I like that idea! I haven't done much containerization stuff and have been learning (and working
on) Azure. But everywhere I go "containers" seem to be the buzzword and answer for everything, and I
feel like they are going to become essential knowledge sooner than later... This is why I need a decent lab
 environment. So many technologies to get across but I don't have a nice environment to practice in (I hate
running shitty underspecced VMs)

>I recently switched jobs and we seem to have a number of clients reliant on Citrix so I wanted to get at

Now if you're talking Citrix Apps/Desktops, that's not dead, despite everyone's best efforts. I get most of
my contract gigs fixing Citrix Apps/Desktops for people because I have 20+ years of experience doing so.
But running that whole stack at home is going to be kind of challenge just because of all the pieces you
need and licenses for everything.
But their VM platform is dead.

>But everywhere I go "containers" seem to be the buzzword and answer for everything, and I feel like

They're somewhat essential knowledge now, unless you have a specific role that is on the more legacy
side of things, and that's not a good place to be long-term. I would really toss out most of the rest of the
stuff you're trying to learn until you have a good handle on containers (etc.), as most companies are
looking to hire containers/k8s/devops admins, not many are looking to roll ADFS into their environment in
2023.

And I looked, the machines I use are Acer Aspire XC-1660G, they're $200 refurbed straight from Acer on
eBay. Drop a decent amount of cheap DDR4 in them and you can run plenty of good sized VMs without a
problem.

 I'm confused, I asked OpenAI which performance is better with the below configuration with ZFS.
1 vdev with 8 HDDs stripe
8 vdevs with 1 HDD each

It said that 8 vdev in the same pool would have no performance benefit as data isn't striped so the
performance would be to a single drive. But when I watch youtube videos ZFS balances files across all
vdevs.
Anyone know which is correct?

On that note, I just bought a wattage meter that you can plug the PC directly into. I'll measure my Wyse
5070 power consumption running OpenBSD server and Ubuntu. May also try triple booting Win 10 IoT,
Ubuntu and OpenBSD and measure the power consumption differences. (If I have enough sanity to triple
boot all that shit, dual booting Ubuntu and BSD took me 2 fucking days)

I didn't run the benchmarks but I just found out running a single big vdev would suck for many small file
operations as you're stuck to a single I/O disk operation as a vdev is basically a single vertial disk.
1 vdev with 8 HDDs stripe - better for sequential large file reads/writes (1 disk i/o)
8 vdevs with 1 HDD each - better for smaller files read/writes (8 disk i/o)

Ah yes, you are asking a question while simultaneously omitting key points leaving everyone baffled as to
what the fuck you're even thinking.
Your entire question is retarded, since if you have the same size disks and want to maximize i/o, raid0 is
the best. If you want to maximize size, just use any old jbod. zfs wasnt made for that, and nobody is going
to advise you on the merits of it since it's dumb.

Having raid0 (multiple disk in a single vdev) isn't the best for random access i/o as a single vdev = 1 disk
i/o
depends on your operation.

example UNRAID is essentially JBOD = ZFS with vdevs with 1 HDD each which is faster for smaller files
random access (threads that are parallel)

Upgraded my GPU passthrough card from a GTX 1080 to a 3080 Ti in my home

server today and added the fan to blow on the other cards. I had to move the hosts's
graphics card to another slot which meant there was no more room for a tiny fan
strapped to the NIC, hence I just added the big one to blow on all the other cards. I
measured like 78C on the NIC's heatsink without any fan so it was definitely
required.

I kind of expected the GPU passthrough upgrade to be a bit more of a pain in the
ass, but for the most part if just went off without a hitch. The driver in the VM was a bit of a bitch and
required a host reboot before it started working, but all's fine now.

drive replacement + backup restore my #1 priority rather than being able to have it wait a few days until a
new drive is delivered and I have the time to do it.
 Also full backup restores suck ass, if you have a lot of data they take forever and that's just inconvenient.

12V 3A? A 36W NVMe SSD? Holy fuck, that seems like a lot and sounds like it would get very hot without

No heat sinking, just a bare controller on the other side.
It did throttle without any cooling, shooting straight to 82c with slowed writes
Had a 120mm fan mount on the bottom of my case and with a fan it doesn't crack 50c.

So it does need cooling but doesn't need a whole lot apparently as the fan is spinning at only 800 rpm

>>92035720
Impressive that just some airflow with no heatsink can cool 36W that well, normally if you'd imagine
something like a 36W CPU it would still need some sort of heatsink, even though not a very big one.
Maybe the 3A is just peak current draw and not average/normal during regular use.

>>92036043
Yes I do, it's essentially indistinguishable from a fully physical machine if connected to a monitor and
peripherals. I gave it an USB controller as well through PCIe passthrough, which works even better than
GPU passthrough since that controller is perfectly happy to automatically swap between host and guest
systems as the guest is turned on and off. Well, to be more precise I did play games on it with the GTX
1080, I haven't done so with the 3080 Ti yet since I just installed it and configured it earlier today and then
had to do some other stuff, haven't had time to play with it until now.

The only weird issue I had was with sound in RPCS3. While performance was generally pretty good,
sound was often strangely garbled or chunks of music would repeat and so on. I have not had any sound
issues with other things like playback from any source (music player, video player, browser, etc.) or from
running PC games directly on the VM. RPCS3 complains about not having an accurate timer source or
something, might have something to do with that and it might be fixable with different config for the VM but
I haven't looked into it.

I use passthrough on my desktop. Monitor has a kvm switch. Passthrough the GPU and a USB controller
and it's native as far as I'm concerned. Linux passthrough runs way better than windows. For some
reason everything on the CPU windows has a hell of a lot harder time doing. There's stuttering and before
I pinned my cores with shared cache to the guest, it was pretty horrible all around. This effectively cut the
available cores to the guest in half, since the L3 cache is only split in two.
Would not recommend, but maybe I'm doing it wrong, like running win11 instead of 10. Or maybe it's just
my hardware. Bare metal is still the way to go.

I haven't noticed any stuttering or weird behavior in the Windows guest without CPU pinning. In fact I tried
to fuck around with it attempting to improve its single-thread performance and such and I don't think it
made any difference, though it sure as shit hurt its MT performance.

>>92038207
Most people don't transfer large files in and out of the NAS all the time, they just access the files directly
over the network and most at-home use cases will be 100% fine doing that over 1Gbit. I do agree that
10G is nice, I like it when I'm running backups or the rare case when I do need to actually transfer files.

Hasn't happened to me, just how much uptime are we talking? I reboot the whole server whenever it has
a kernel update, so uptime doesn't go beyond like 1 month, but within that 1 month I haven't had any
trouble with the VM.
 >had to go from 4c8t to 5c10t to make it happy
It was 12T to begin with, I went up to 18T as a test and it made no difference, tried pinning them to the same
couple of CCXs and it made no difference. It's not as much a general performance issue as much as
something in particular seems fucked with the way RPCS3 does audio.
>AMD, I guess?
Yes, a 3900X. This didn't happen with Windows on bare metal though, so it's something VM-related. I didn't
look into it too much since I only wanted to play one game, which I just beat on my regular desktop instead. If
all goes well, next week I'll probably upgrade it to a 5950X (and I hope the IOMMU groups don't get fucked

What I get from RPCS3 is:
>SYS: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor | 12 Threads | 16.00 GiB RAM | TSC: Bad | AVX+ | FMA3
The notable part, I think, is this:
>TSC: Bad
It doesn't say it's bad on my 5950X bare metal system and works flawlessly, in the VM. If you look this up
online, you'll find people with Intel systems which get this 'TSC: Bad' thing even on bare metal. I don't
know what exactly it is that the emulator wants here but I'm pretty sure it's missing it due to the VM, or
maybe it's not the VM and I need some Windows registry setting or fuck knows what.
>They might.
I know, since the PCIe controller and a bunch of peripherals are on the CPU itself. I'm just hoping a Zen 3
CPU won't be WORSE than the Zen 2 3900X the server is running now. All I need to pass through are the
main PCIe slot and a USB controller, I'm not asking for too much.
>Do you have MSI (interrupts thing) enabled in VM?
Yes, I need that enabled or the sound is completely broken in everything.

Spinning drives have a bathtub curve for failures as the moving parts, bearings, etc. wear out, so
assuming they're all basically 10 years old they've had a good run. That's probably why you've had a few
failures in the last few years, they're just at the end of their life.
People freak about SSDs that will only last 20-100 years before the cells wear out, without realizing
spinning drives have a different failure mode that's going to fuck them someday.

People say 1g is good enough because most of the time it is. As far as I can tell that movie is 106min
long, and it's 46GB. Some quick math says that's a 7.2MB/s rate, which you could stream from your NAS
to your desktop over a 100mbit connection and have plenty of room to spare. If you're trying to saturate a
gigabit connection, you need like two 8k 120fps movies at the same time or something, some nerd did the
math on it once.
Copying files is faster on faster connections, but most people don't copy files around all the time. If they
do it occasionally, they usually don't mind if it takes an extra five minutes.

Peeps who freak about SSDs are really freaking out about the essentially random nature of failures.
HDDs are mostly mechanical so the power on hours gives you an idea of when to replace it as all
mechanical devices wear as a function of them being on and used.
 For SSDs you have no indicator of when to replace and like most solid state devices they tend to work until
they stop with little to no warning imbetween.

The shit is mostly physiological. SSDs in general are as reliable as anything else and HDDs don't always fail
mechanically.

>random nature of failures
Spinning drives can and do just shit themselves, just like SSDs can and do. Both follow the standard
bathtub curve for failures, it's just that SSDs have a much, much larger "middle" than spinners do.
>mechanical so the power on hours gives you an idea
SSDs have all kinds of SMART metrics to give you insight into their lifespan too, but spinning drives don't
have one for the mechanical parts. SSDs, with no mechanical parts, give you all kinds of neat metrics to
help you take a guess at how long they're going to last.

Check the CPU utilisation on both devices, this would be the first indication that something isn't handing
off to the NIC correctly, also try -R (alternating between both clients as the "server") to get an idea of
which device and direction is to blame.

I'm aware, I actually think the whole idea of predicting HDD failure or the idea that it is predictable is
misguided, but it makes people feel better to think that HDDs are purely mechanical with the only failure
being from wear.
>SSDs have all kinds of SMART metrics to give you insight into their lifespan too
Except they don't. If you're conservative with writing and you don't plan to wear out the NAND in 100
years then SMART gives you no indication. SMART isn't going to tell you your controllers about to die or
something auxiliary on the SSD is going to go. You might get an intermittent issue where SMART may flag
some data integrity issues stemming from a issue outside of the flash but more than likely it'll just die.

Unlike the web client, mpv-shim transcodes video locally, meaning the load lies on the GPU of your PC.
This completely eliminates the need for docker GPU pass-through. Regarding Android, you can use the
"External Player" option in the settings. This setup will work way faster, assuming all client devices are
powerful enough to do transcoding themselves

Does anyone know if something like an m.2 NVMe "splitter" exists?

Long story short, the mobo in my home server has 1 usable m.2 NVMe x4 slot. 4 PCIe lanes are plenty
fast for my use case and a single NVMe SSD is plenty fast as well, but this leaves me with no
redundancy. I'd much rather run 2 of them in RAID1 or something, so my shit doesn't immediately break if
one dies. This means I'd need 2 SSDs on the single m.2 slot. I know I wouldn't get more performance
than what the 4 PCIe lanes can give anyway, but again it's redundancy that I want, not extra performance.
To make matters more complicated, I'm pretty sure I'd need something with a PCIe bridge or some shit
on-board, a very simple adapter just routing 2 PCIe lanes to one m.2 each would probably not work since
I don't think my mobo supports bifurcation on the m.2 at all.

I am aware, that's why I mentioned it myself. Now the question would be, are the typical software RAID1
