  • What do I need to separate devices to its own no-internet network and still be able to communicate with within the house and outside? (Diagram provided)

  • OpenWRT and Untangle are the most user-friendly Linux options for running on your own hardware, but most people in homelab use pfsense or opnsense which are based on FreeBSD.

  • One without support for something as simple as groups and where everything has 777 permissions by design.

    I’m a Pro licence owner and I tested Unraid for about a year until moving to TrueNAS and Proxmox.

  • XMP is the most used format.

    The way XMP files are read entirely depends on the software you’re using. Some will write adjustment metadata into XMP (Adobe does this) whereas others write that into their proprietary format and use XMP for other metadata.

  • Proxmox vs. TrueNAS Scale

    Jump

  • As mentioned by others, if your primary use case is storage/NAS with only one or two VMs, then for sure go with TrueNAS SCALE.

    Where Proxmox wins is the easy backups for VMs/containers locally to disk, local NAS or remote NAS, easy management when you have a lot of VMs (I feel like there’s too much clicking through menus in the TN UI which gets annoying fast), more recent kernel and ability to use LXC.

    I use both in my homelab and I keep TrueNAS as a NAS and Docker host via Jailmaker script (for services that benefit from direct/local file bind mounts) because I really dislike the way the TrueNAS Apps feature is handled.

    In my experience, TN Apps are just not stable and seem to get randomly stuck ‘deploying’ for no good reason after being restarted or updated. Combine that with the general hostility of the forums and of TrueCharts, and so I decided to not have anything to do with the Apps feature. IX changed a few things to do with app storage that then forced TrueCharts to change how they do things, so there’s been a few occasions where the only solution has been to delete and recreate containers which pissed off a lot of users.

    Jailmaker lets me use Docker Compose inside a systemd-nspawn container. It’s kind of funny how this nested containerisation method ended up being a hell of a lot more reliable than TN Apps. I don’t want this to sound like I’m ungrateful for the good things they’ve done for TN by making services easy to run, but their reading their posts, their behaviour and tone online just always makes me shake my head.

    Sorry this turned into a rant.

  • Hardware Acceleration in Linux in Proxmox

    Jump

  • There’s no need for adding all of those flags to your kernel command line - just the ones below will do the job:

    intel_iommu=on iommu=pt video=efifb:off modprobe.blacklist=snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,i915

    OP just needs to be aware that turning off the EFI framebuffer as above will result in no video output for the Proxmox host.

    If you need further IOMMU group separation and your motherboard doesn’t support ACS, then you can add:

    pcie_acs_override=downstream

    If you run into problems with booting Proxmox, then you can simply remove the lines above at boot and then troubleshoot after.

  • What storage manufacturer do you swear to and why?

  • That makes me feel lucky that Australia’s consumer laws are decent. If that happened here, it’s the customer’s choice whether they want to deal with the manufacturer or the retailer.

  • Does that mean that manually attempting to overprovision SSDs isn’t necessary for maximising endurance? Eg. partition a 1TB SSD as 500GB.

  • It’s a 6W TDP CPU, but not 6W for power consumption.

    At full tilt it’ll be about 25-30W, but typically it’s around 10W for me.
