Well done!

so I’m optimizing for enjoyment and life/work balance

That’s great, really, well done! And I love that spirit, that “peace of mind” of not wanting more and enjoying what’s enough!

All the best!

Good to know, thanks! Do you know a way to download the Spotify playlist in Jellyfin without the need to do it manually?

Thanks, I did’t know that.

Is there an Immich Android app that auto upload pictures?

Dude, chillax! Why would I read the article? I assumed that you got the same hardware that was mentioned in the article; how could I know that you wrote it about your server?

And by the way, your analogy with the archeology doesn’t fit at all.

2004 hardware -> dumpster! Seriousky, with the electricity bill of 1 year of that server running 24/7 you can buy a used Dell, HP or Lenovo PC (2/3 maybe 4 years old); you will have more power, way less power consumption and way less noise.

I would never deploy Compose in any kind of production environment.

May I ask you why?

I know that you are right…sorry, but…

There are no switches in play!

That’s it, thanks!!! So easy!!! Thanks a lot!

I know that it would be better to use a switch, but I would need a 10Gbps (or 2,5Gbps, do they exists) switch with 2 sfp+ port (1 for Internet connection and the second one for the server). In this way I’ve just bought the 3 old NIC for 25€ and that’s it. I know that they will consume way more than the switch, but how many years do I need to break even?

Of course! But I must advice that you will be limited to 1/0,5Gbps! 😁

I’ve just edited the original post to make clear that Proxmox has nothing to do in this picture, it just is installed in the same PC where the NICs are. What I need it just assign 6 VLAN (tagged, coming in from enp2s0) to 6 NICs (untagged to: enp9s1f0, enp9s1f1, enp9s2f0, enp9s2f1, enp10s1f0, enp10s1f1).

Yes, but…how do I do that?

Forget everything that I’ve written, I just need to assign 6 VLAN (tagged, coming in from enp2s0) to 6 NICs (untagged to: enp9s1f0, enp9s1f1, enp9s2f0, enp9s2f1, enp10s1f0, enp10s1f1).

Because some player can’t play the original file, because the bandwidth sometimes it it’s not enough, etc.

Because it may be needed?

Thanks!

Yes, I would install the video cars in the second PCI slot, but the motherboard has an integrated video card, does that count? By the way, I don’t have alternatives, if it will not boot, I will not use the graphic card. Thanks!

I already have the server, it doesn’t make any sense to change it. Above all, as someone else has pointed, the 4 lanes are enough for transcoding.

Yes, it’s full lenngth. Thanks!

It’s also possible to use Telegraf. I use it on different machines that sends data to InfluxDB that are displayed with Grafana

If you’d like to sell a couple of drivers and you’re in Europe, contact me.

I did this by installing nextcloud from docker running within a proxmox container. That proxmox lxc container has the nextcloud dataset passed into it.

That’s almost what I’m doing (I’m using a VM in Proxmox where I install all my Docker containers). Right now I’m thinking about encrypt only the data volume (a NFS share from Proxmos host) since all the sensible data will be there.

That’s why I use most of the services via Wireguard (except Nextcloud that is behind Cloudflare and MQTTs that’s completely exposed)

Why? If you store the key in your password manager shouldn’t be a problem to mount the drive on another PC, decrypt it and save data. Or am I missing something?

Well, since I’ve discovered that with AES-NI it doesn’t impact performances, I don’t see why not do it. I’ve had a look at a couple of guides and it doesn’t seem to be so difficult

Interesting, thanks!

I did not know that

Avoid hardware RAID (have a look at this). Use Linux MD or BTRFS or ZFS.

What do you mean with LXD/LXD? Edit: Oh, I got it: LXD/LXC, I’m reading the post you’ve linked

Got it, thanks!

On eBay they all seems to be coming from China at about 30$ with cables (although they are the 8087 and not 8086), could they be clone? In Europe (where I live) they costs about 60€.

Cool! I think that I’ll give it a go! Does the cockpit needs to be installed directly on the host OS or…?

Cool! What’s your feeling about SnapRaid and MergerFS instead of RAIDz?

Interesting, I’ll have a look on how to flash the IT mode. Thanks!

That’s something I like, just plain Debian with KVM. How is virt-manager compared to the Proxmox UI? Does it needs to be installed on a separate PC (Windows?)?

Does it works with SATA drives and, most important: can it provides the single drives to the OS without RAID (since I would want to use a software RADI like RIADz)?

Ouch…got it. Thanks

Should I pass the whole controller? I have the Proxmox disk on the same controller, how do I do that?

Out of curiosity, why move from OMV? I was thinking about trying it out for a second NAS.

It’s probably a problem of not dedicating enough time to learn how it works, but I’ve installed a couple of time in the past years, but…I don’t like it much. It seems complicated to me (still, I probably don’t dedicate it enough time).

For the NAS OS, I use and recommend TrueNAS Scale. You can run Docker containers on it

I’ll check it, thanks
