READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
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.

Humiliation ritual. I guess I have to blog post to keep this thread from dying in 4 posts.
I'm going to have to wriggle under my bed like a worm again this weekend to make a second attempt at getting my new router working. Chatgpt thinks it wasn't working because the isp is "sticky" with the mac address. So I'm setting the wan ports mac to the same as the isp routers. The router says it's on vlan 0, but the ai is doubling down that I need to be on vlan 35. If I have to wriggle under there more than once I'm going to kill myself. I'm not even fat, I swear. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

I apologize if this is off topic but you guys are probably the best to ask. How do I go about completely backing up my data on an external drive? I have a machine limping along that at this point I absolutely have to reinstall windows on. I will also be using this opportunity to switch to the LTSC version of Win10 since Win11 is a disaster.
I just want to be able to restore all of my data to exactly how I have it now on the fresh install.

For your usecase I think it would be best to just pick up an external hdd which is big enough for your data. Just copy over all of your data along with your %appdata% folder. Then after your new os is installed you can copy it back to where you want it.

Unraid server wouldn't shutoff cleanly a couple weeks ago, forced it off. Ever since it takes like 3-5mins for the zfs array to start. I'm on 7.2 but don't want to dig too much for fear of breaking it

I want to but I'm way too ingrained in iCloud photos and all the other services it comes with so I can't get myself to do all of the work of migrating. I've only heard good things about it so it must be something, I'm just too lazy to do it

is there a reverse proxy that isn't totally shit? nginx is starting to piss me off. if your backends "Connection: close" early and TCP/UDS reset rest of the content, it's a coin flip if nginx returns back a 502.

The only one that doesn't speed up my hair loss is HAProxy. Its configuration makes sense to me, it flows logically. I don't need to fuck around with a gorillion settings made for web hosting and PHP and shit.

Trying to work out a system to synchronize RetroArch save games that are modified by my iPhone with a OneDrive folder has turned into a whole rabbit hole of what it'd be like to run my own personal cloud storage server.
I'm tempted to set up a Nextcloud server at home just to have the experience of doing it and seeing how stuff connects to it (and get a little more use out of my domain name).
>>
>>
>>108059626
To go along with this: what's the most effective way to do split-horizon DNS in your home network? Figure if I'm going to set up a Nextcloud server in my house I should also figure out how to not go past the demarc when I'm in my local network if I want to move files around and not be penalized by my ISP's up and download speeds.
Would this also involve taking the DNS and DHCP functionality out of my router and putting it into a dedicated (or virtual) network appliance?
PiHole seems like one such method to do it but that does seem to be taking some functionality from my router and putting my own service in charge of it.

>too smooth for nginx
nginx isn't good and you're delusional if you think it is. you can keep coping claiming you're big brain because you know all the idiotic intricacies of the configuration, but it's still a massive footgun that requires careful tuning to get functional for any actual production use.

ive used nginx for over a decade.
i dont know all the intricacies of configuration idiotic or not.
>still a massive footgun that requires careful tuning to get functional for any actual production use.
no it isn't and no it doesn't. its easy to say such shit without giving examples. in reality cause it didnt work immediately out of the box you retards run screaming at the mere thought of having to edit a config.
i also use caddy, because it does ssl for me and is easier to run in front of dockerslop. hence why i recommended it. its genuinely good for http/s

i'm thinking of turning my old 1060 4650k into a media/file server. what would be the best way to use that pc to handle all my torrents? i know you're able to host a webui using qbittorent but that doesnt seem very practical
>>
>>108060772
Transmission is good but I dont like the web UI but I get around that using the remote desktop and android apps that are very nice
Also if you want to torrent over VPN I would recommended this container that makes it easy

nginx won't pass through Expect: 100-continue to you, simply telling downstream to keep sending.
combine that with the fact that nginx is painfully finnicky if your upstream Connection: close early without reading the whole body.
You usually have to write a lot of basic rewrites for reverse proxying that other revproxies like traefik literally just do by default.
and lets not forget nginx will literally segfault on bad uses of `if`
the only reason I use this shit server is because it serves files, otherwise I would have moved on. maybe I'll try caddy if it actually serves files.

Anyone use amp? Every game server seems to have it's own way of running and managing itself. Having a central system for it seems very useful.

hello hsg, not sure if this is the correct thread, but i am in a bit of a pickle. i accidentally knocked the cap for power delivery for the igpu on my mini pc. it still works, but i hooked it up to a monitor and it started to smell a bit geg. i haven't installed an os on this device, and i was planning to use it headless. my soldering skills are lackluster, so im not gonna attempt this. any thoughts? thanks hsg

Figuring out what your trying to do, what equipment it requires and how to do it is probably something you can figure out with some time on youtube. Tons of monkeys make videos and shorts of themselves re-soldering various components.

reposting just in case anyone comes in and is knowledgeable
so far, I've tested it with TCP_IN port closed and only the TCP_OUT port open
curling http://IP:port now returns a time out
still don't know why an open port is necessary

what do you have on the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse? Does it work inside your network? When you say you opened the port 8133, do you mean on the host firewall? Could it be blocking ANY traffic to that port, including local traffic?
