https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server
/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 flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/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?
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.

Retard here. What are some good resources to start learning about link aggregation? I have a few devices with dual ports nics and more than enough corresponding room on my managed switch. Two of the systems are running Xubuntu LTS, and the 3rd is running w10 lts IoT.
I heard somewhere that Microsoft removed this feature from their non-server OSs, but there was some registry bullshit that could be done to restore it. That's the long and short of what I know right now.

I'm new to /hsg/, but I've been using linux for 6 years now.
Pic is my home server, it's just EndeavourOS with NFS + Jellyfin container.
Which is 99% of what I need it to do.
I'm interested in getting remote access with SSH outside my network, but I have CG-NAT and I don't want to set up VPS.
Does twingate and tailscale work for this without breaching privacy or compromising my machine?
Like maybe have it run in it's own container and only give access to that container?
Sorry if it sound stupid, I'm new to this.
>>
>>
>>107945022
Is it encrypted? For HTTPS you need certs, self-signed or otherwise.
But also selfhosted apps often have subpar security, you will have to update regularly to avoid exploits while a VPN protects you whole, the one selfhosted app I have exposed to the internet I put an nginx auth block in front to at least have some extra layer of security in front of mystery meat code.

you could have a container running tailscale, but then ssh you land you inside the container, so you will still need a way to jump back to the host.

I'm fine with being inside a container.
and controlling that instead of my own host.
Most of what I want to do is things like saving URLs and such.
So as long as it save to some folder I'm fine.

2U DL380 G9 with 2 x E5-2650 v4, standard radiators, but performance fans. Also 12 x 3.5" in the front (4 loaded, 8 blanked right now) + 2 x 2.5" above PSUs. Without a second riser at this time, but thinking about getting an Arc B60 in the future, if it fits.
I was mostly worried about the 10 GBe card and possibly the SAS controller, but if they are supposed to run this hot, then oh well, it's not like it's making fans go loud, they all stay under 20%. Unless there are some 10 GBe LOM cards that don't heat up this much?
>>
>>107950598 the 10GB cards are gonna run hot too, pretty much all the ones from HP are. I used to run a ML350 with 2698V3s, i prefer the Gen9 to Gen10 machines but that B60 like all Intel Cards are gonna require resizable bar, which I don't believe is available on the G9s without custom firmware or the UEFIPatch. it's only PCIE G3 so IMO i'd get something like a R9700

If I need a GUI for whatever reason, I have a motherboard with KVM/IPMI. And if you don't, you can buy aftermarket modules for around $20 that do the same thing.
I set up literally everything with bash/zsh over ssh, one go, no containers of any kind, all local.

That's their usual trickery, cramming two values in one "Raw" field.
Switch do HEX mode. First 4 digits are numerator representing errors, last 8 are denominator representing total reads.
But it's not even really counting exact numbers, just representing them on a log scale.
And it gets reset and recalculated after every certain amount of operations.
That's why "Current" field is not a countdown and can recover.
Basically if it's more than "Threshold" then don't worry about it.
Same for 07 Seek Error Rate.
Many other attributes also have double meaning in "Raw".

I have an old Raspberry Pi 4 collecting dust. I didn't need it anymore after I upgraded to using a mini PC for my server. What useful thing can I even do with it?

-Fallback device for adguard/vpn
What do you think?

>>
>>107964864
>only works if you have two home IP's
you mean public IPs? If so, why is that? I obviously dont know what home router/firewall you use but some have built-in load balancing features. Or you can set two DNS servers for the network and just use both.
>neat idea.
Thanks. Its like, 85% complete. Its meant to be a full height arcade but skinnier since im using an older 5:4 aspect ratio LCD instead of a CRT monitor (I wanted 5:4 ratio for a nostalgic vibe). I have the LCD and speakers and just need to cut the panel that holds them in place. The rest of the cabinet is already complete, with a set of arcade buttons for two players.
I got sidetracked working on a 3U server build and havent touched the arcade project in a few weeks

After installing AdGuard I'm getting a lot of issues browsing sites in general.
For instance, pages straight-up wouldn't load (pic related, this one is forced by searching a nonexistent site but it happens to normal sites like duckduckgo or r*ddit), some elements wouldn't show up (media on Wikipedia), and other stuff. These all get fixed after refreshing once or twice, but it's so damn annoying whenever it happens.
At this point I'm considering ditching AdGuard altogether because I use PrivateBrowsing at all times so there's no sort of cookies or session tracking to be worried about, I'm never logged in to anything, and ads were never a nuisance for me so I never felt anything different having AdGuard on or not, besides YouTube ads being impossible to block.
Is there any fix or settings adjustment that I might be missing to prevent this?

In the context of an SMB share built in TrueNAS, for a storage pool and dataset full of small files like photos (written once and then accessed however rarely or often as required), does it make sense to have one dedicated user account set aside for writing to the pool (read/write)- and another (read-only) for viewing the files?
In addition to the protections gained by saving snapshots I'm wanting to mitigate the risks of my dumb self accidentally deleting a directory, for example, and to reduce wear on my SSD-based pool, by theoretically limiting writes to only the times when files are being moved en masse deliberately.
However, I'm guessing there's a simpler way or that people don't normally worry about this shit, as in windows there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to access one shared folder with two or more sets of credentials.
Am I overthinking it, or is there a simple method for accomplishing what I'm trying to do?

i just wanted a zero trust setup where i slowly allow only some ips/subnets (some from vpn) to access things on port x y (mostly things that need to expose a port or run as host like dns server or home assistant)
but shit is so badly documented that i believe no one actually cares about this and most people don't even realize their docker leaks their shit on the internet
most of the good practice minimal iptables templates fuck up forwarding between containers and they lose connection and it doesn't help that the containers fight the rules on reboot

it's one of the most common problems with docker, yes, the kind of drawback that often appears when you try to make things too retard friendly
you have several options:
>set the docker port to only listen on 127.0.0.1 and selectively forward packets to it
>use one of the jank workaround rule sets like https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker https://github.com/firewalld/firewa lld/issues/869

I have compared approximately 0 others, and I can only say so much about about reliability because I just plug it in, take a backup that's at most been ~30hrs, then turn it off again, but the ugreen one I have seems fine. No issue with smart or anything. I guess I can say that it seems to spin down drives automatically after inactivity but for all I know that's a feature of the drive itself and I never realize with my internal ones because they're always being raped by indians.

I'm a retarded noob so bear with me. I'm currently copying over files from my old WD EX2 NAS to my new self built NAS. I'm copying them over just by control C control V in windows, its several TB of data.
I noticed that the speed started out at around 120 MB/s but drops to 60 MB/s after a minute, I'm assuming that's just the disk cache. But then, when I went to sleep and woke up, it dropped to around 50 MB/s. I was annoyed by that but the drives are not overheating or anything (35 C) so I figured it was out of my control. then, randomly, in the last hour, it's jumped up to 80 MB/s. It's bizarre and I don't know the explanation for that. Any thoughts?

Wut? CCNA is a networking fundamentals + basic Cisco equipment CLI certification. It has almost nothing to do with home network security.

it is targeted for cisco shit but there is nothing wrong about knowing how a packet travels through a network
vlans, subnetting, acls and basic routing is always good to know, it also requires knowledge about stuff like dhcp, dns and nat
aside from memorizing mac addresses, cli commands for the exam and how many bits and bytes shit has, i would say it is pretty useful, i wouldn't go for the exam though

packet headers, routing protocols, spanning tree, memorising subnet sizes and cabling standards won't help you much with the problem at hand, was my point. but this is usually what happens when someone tries to guess their way into a solution with only a conceptual problem. in other words, if the actual question is "i want to set up VLANs on openWRT, will the CCNA help me with that?" then the answer is no.

Could be transfer overhead from copying metric multitude of small files vs. few large files, sidk cache, fragmentation (both on source and target drive), network congestion, whatever.
Also you might want to delete whatever you copied and do it again but from something else that respects file creation/access dates, Windows copypasta will not and your new files will end up looking as if they were newly created.
>>

nta, but every single thing you listed has deep implications for network security. i'm curious why you left out DHCP, NAT, and DNS from the other anons post which much more obviously has security implications.

>will the CCNA help me set up VLANs on any vendor
uhh yeah. the RFC implementations for a VLAN do not differ cross vendor.
whether these specific security implications has relevance in the home is an entirely different question. that said, operational fidelity is network security. concepts give you a framework which allow you to work around. it's not about the cert at all. you are one fucking retard without a doubt.

My ISP handles this IMO the optimum way: by default you're behind CGNAT but public ipv4 is available for free by activating the service on their customer web pages. No addresses wasted on most people who don't care but those who want a public IP can easily get it.

That's pretty good, what country? Here in the UK, CGNAT is not usually a problem. From what I've seen, depending on the provider you either get no choice but to be on CGNAT, or you need to be on one of their more expensive plans, like 5Gb

>>107986523
Yes, for large HDDs where the consumer and enterprise models use the same hardware (not economical to make separate slower models). I think the cutoff is now 14TB because they started making 12TB air only drives which are terrible.
You want to shuck them and use them in parity arrays, because then the amount of money you save is enough for extra parity drives, giving you space, speed, and failure protection. I mean you can try it in JBOD but it's risky and it's not like you have warranty after shucking the drives.

Access network contention ratios are funny to think about sometimes. I have a GPON connection, so that's 2.4gig downstream shared between 30 premises. (They reserve two instead of using all 32 splits apparently.) There's no way for me to tell which exact PON I'm on or what the contention on it is, but I know most houses in my area have this service so it's likely to be high.
Just two people with a gigabit plan saturating their downstream with a large download should be enough to prevent me from getting anywhere close to gigabit. But in practice, this absolutely never happens. Anytime I download something or run a speedtest, it's always north of 800mbit and is often close to the limit of 940 (gigabit minus overhead).
Do 29/30 households really consist entirely of turbo-normies who never need more than a few tens of megabits and who decide to pay for the slowest 150mbit service when gigabit is a few bucks a month more?
They're trialling XGS-PON but don't seem to be in a hurry. If usage is this low then I guess I understand why.
>>
>>
>>
>>107989213
Different is that in the VPS case it's blatant. That kind of VPS is slow as fuck compared to real hardware.
But in the residential internet case, I'm getting what I'm paying for even though the maths says I shouldn't be. So either I'm lucky and was assigned to a nearly empty PON, or most people barely use their internet connections. If the latter then I can't really complain about the overprovisioning.

This happens everytime you upgrade ZFS to a newer branch. It does not automatically upgrade your pools, because if you enable a new feature that didn't exist in the older version, the pools will no longer be importable on any system that uses any older version. You don't have to do anything if you don't need/want the new features, or if you want to maintain backwards compatibility.

The real usecase is when you have multiple clients accessing a server that can easily saturate the bandwidth. Or, if you're trying to connect a managed switch to another, it is fun to setup but really there's no benefit if only you are using it (maybe torrent is the exception though)

You should need to replace anything as long as it works. I wouldn't upgrade ram right now with prices the way they are.

Hello /hsg/.
I was installing some hard drives today, and I accidentally bent one of the SATA connectors and snapped the L-shaped piece of plastic off of one of the drives. The pins all look OK and not damaged and I was able to get the tab out of the connector with some tweezers.
Do you have any advise for how to fix the drive? I can see how the pins slot back into the piece of plastic, but what's my best strategy for adhering it back onto the drive? Superglue? My plan at the moment is to stick it back on and then really baby it in future so it doesn't break again.

Let's say I have a bunch of shit that all needs low voltage DC delivered through barrel jacks of various outer/inner diameters and polarities.

>switch 12v 5.5/2.5mm
>router 19v
>media converter for a fibre run 5v

(just examples, I haven't measured anything)
Currently they all have their own AC/DC power supplies, a mix of wall warts and bricks.
Is there a good and cheap way to neaten this up? I'm imaging one 100+W power supply with, let's say 12 barrel jacks (4 at 5v, 4 at 12v, 4 at 19v). Bonus points if there's a way to adjust the current limit for each one. Then I'd connect a short power cable from the supply to the device, using adapters to get the right diameter if needed.
I've hunted through aliexpress and it doesn't seem to exist. Closest I can get is some adapters from USBC Power Delivery to various voltages, but I've read that PD is a bit unreliable for this kind of use case (i.e. if the adapter requests a voltage the supply can't provide, it starts outputting the wrong voltage instead of nothing).

my home server (a laptop with linux), is wired to the router, if I also connect it to wifi to the same router would that improve bandwidth at all ? I guess in theory it could send packets through both interfaces if I'm like downloading something, but idk if that helps in practice.
>>
>>
>>108006506
In theory it might conceivably be possible to aggregate the two interfaces. In practice, I would expect the system will just completely ignore the wifi connection when ethernet is available. I'd also expect that if you do somehow force it to aggregate them, it would cause many more issues than it'd solve.
Just asking out of curiosity or are you bandwidth constrained with 1gig ethernet?
>>
>>
>>108006640
>>108006922
you have two flow patterns, networklet. one is east-west (your LAN to your server) and one is north-south (from your server out via your ISP to the internet). so, bandwidth still matters despite your ISP link being limited to 1g because you aren't just going out via your ISP, you're also talking to things internally on your network. this is a very simplistic explanation that doesn't take into account other potential bottlenecks (storage medium speeds, etc).
that said, go look up ECMP (equal cost multipath) online to learn the different styles of link aggregation and whether your equipment allows for it.
the other guy in this thread saying LACP (or link aggregation in general) is useless is a huge fucking idiot who would never be allowed to work in a legitimate datacenter ever and is likely autistic to the point of not being capable of feeling shame.

>>

>>107966353
Check the query log, find the DNS queries that failed, and in the "Response" column, mouse over the question mark in the circle. If the DNS server that processed the failed requests is the same for multiple of the failed requests, then it might just be a malfunctioning DNS server, in which case you should (at least temporarily) comment it out in Adguard's DNS settings and/or add another DNS server to the list.
Also under DNS settings having "Optimistic caching" enabled would occasionally cause weird shit to happen, like the wrong site loading and SSL errors) so you might want to try turning that off if it's enabled.

>patch panels are pretty pointless in most home environments
I wired every bedroom in my house with at least one ethernet line, my bedroom has 2, and the livingroom has 3. I formerly had some tenants in a bedroom in the basement and I gave them two lines. I think for this, a patch panel was necessary. If you have many mounted devices that have ethernet ports in the rear i think thats enough to justify a patch panel as well
>>

Also, if thats your pic i see you have what appears to be 3d printed shelves as well as a Netgear CM1000v2 modem
I have that same modem and you probably noticed that the way you have it mounted makes it slightly taller than 1U and perhaps thats why you placed it at the very top. You can actually print a baseless mount for that model, such that is "floats" between a pair of "<"-shaped and ">"-shaped side pieces and it becomes a perfect 1U height
>>
>>108012212
Sorry, despite the filename it's not my pic. Just one example of the many "mini rack" setups that have patch panels.

Fair enough, that's a lot of lines. I'd personally still be inclined to find a solution that doesn't involve an extra panel and many short patch cables. Maybe even just mounting the switch on the wall next to where the cables come in, and running one cable from there to the rest of the equipment.
>>
>>108012268
>Maybe even just mounting the switch on the wall next to where the cables come in, and running one cable from there to the rest of the equipment
The guest rooms are on a seperate network from what my personal computer and servers are on. I suppose I could do as you suggest since my ethernet lines are labeled but the resulting clusterfuck of a almost a dozen cabels would still consume 1U on its own so I might as well just use a patch panel
