  • Questions about DAS

  • It does but there's a lot of other stuff connected that I can't unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.

    I'm using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220's and 128 G and 8 spinners.

  • What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now?

  • You're probably using revanced or vanced ... there was a recent patch, you have to update it.

  • What else should I self-host?

  • I don't trust oracle at all. The guide uses them because they're free (It includes a business generator so that oracle doesn't reclaim your box)

    I personaly went with IONOS because they have a 2.99 plan with unlimited bandwidth which is great for pangolin as that's routing traffic for my "media" box

  • not the same thing at all, but there's already been a couple of pretty high profile "prompt injection" malware cases out there.

  • Host a pangolin reverse proxy on a free oracle cloud VPS! It's super nice to redirect online traffic to a LAN resource, that way you can share your home lab with friends and family without having to forward any ports or loosen your security posture.

    I also highly recommend this suite of tools for downloading and streaming legal media via torrent because I would never endorse piracy.

  • Interesting,

    I've automated deployment with SDNET and templates, but the other stuff you're doing with terraform is more akin "Orchestration" There must be some GUI for terraform that works with proxmox.

    I guess you could do the same with expansible and playbooks but it sounds like you're looking for something with a GUI that does the work for you.

    I can't think of any, but proxmox does have an API ... wondering why no one has done this yet ....

  • My previous experience is with dropbox and onedrive and I tend to limit bandwidth ... I want sync to happen in the background. It's not something I usually consider "high priority"

    I found NC to be a lot more flexible and complete, specially with all the machine learning options. I also appreciate the privacy and price Hosting about 7TB of data for $10 worth of power a month and a $150 investment that allows me to host many other things.

    The web interface in my case is a bit slow initially but that's mostly because I opted to route it via pangolin reverse proxy / cloud flare tunnels, but I notice once the redis cache DB loads it's blazing fast.

    Overall I'm pretty happy with the speed, I'm sharing this with a family of 15 and I haven't heard any complaints yet.

  • not sure what the big deal is, I'm running a docker lab with portrainer inside a proxmox LXC

  • Wow! Thanks so much for that explanation. I think In my mind I was mixing DAS with SAN and "fabric"

    I'm much more confident now In planning this upgrade.

  • Good Point, idrac has issues on this server, I'll take another crack at it and see if I can get it going.

    I tried with powerstat and powertop but no dice

  • Questions about DAS

    Jump

  • about 5TB of the 7 I have available are in use. I was planning on expanding to 12 to allow for growth.

    I could just upgrade to bigger drives (1 TBs currently) but it feels cheaper to go with DAS

  • Good point. I actually have a watt meter coming in the mail tomorrow. Will measure the idle consumption of the r430 and report back. This thing sits mostly at under 10% except when running backups or the machine learning algos for nextcloud image recognition.

  • I've considered it, but decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware.

    I have a good source thru my job for tons of CTO hardware, these R230's cost me about 50 bucks a pop, and considering they sip power they're a really hard to pass deal, it sounds like a really good way to learn proxmox HA, load balancing and ceph minus the storage capacity

    I guess I could still host a 10G nas on an r230 with a DAS, but my questions remain.
