In this ITT thread we sit by the warm glow of our lack racks with the rhythmic blinking of hdd indicators reflecting off our faces, and discuss:
- Virtualization Technology: Do you use Xen, KVM or ESX? Do you think virtualization is for pussies and keep all your hosts baremetal? Or are you an openvz/lxc type guy.
- NFS, Sambaor iSCSI?
- Whitebox or last-gen commerical?
- Do you host subsonic? plex? rtorrent? IRC server or bouncer? wiki? Whats your killer nginx reverse proxy config?
And remember, no matter what you think, there is only 1 right answer to these questions.
Just finished migrating my debian + libvirt setup to proxmox. I skipped visualization for lxc containers this time because all my hosts are debian based anyway. So far I really like it though I do feel dirty after switching to a proprietary solution.
>>52382466

Depends on what I need

Depends on my budget

>Xpenology Box (HP Microserver g7 8 gb of non ecc RAM)
Currently i'm hosting Plex,SMB,Download Station( a hacked up version of transmission for Synology),Security Station(IP cameras).
>PFsence Box( i5 4 gb of non ECC Ram)
Local website caching, AV scanner for all downloaded files,firewall (duh),and a few more things.
I could probably just boot Xen on the Gen 7 with 4 gigs of ecc ram and do all this from there with a decent network card right?
Trying to set up and run a debian based Plex server, except I have no idea what I'm doing. It's all physically set up but I can't seem to get anything to work. Right now I'm trying to get remote desktop to work (xrdp) but when I log in on my Windows laptop all I see is pic related.
That's not even to mention the trouble I'm having getting Plex installed. Being a first time linux/debian user is hard.
>>52383222
Wouldn't is just be easier to use freeNAS?
>>52383253
Possibly? I seriously wouldn't know. People just recommended I use Ubuntu or Debian. Plus, I'd like to be able to conveniently use Plex because I have a roku.

Anyone using kvm with vt-d gpu passthrough for LINUX guests? I dont get it why i cant get it working. Ive tried ubuntu, debian, arch for guests. Windows guests work well, rebooting is no prob. Linux guests hang eventually host too after few reboots. Nothing on dmesg. Should I use ovmf or bios for linux guests? Ive tried everything..
>>52383297
I know freeNAS has plugings for plex, and they have a spin based off debian
>>52383222
Seriously, just use SSH and learn to deal with it. Everything is very easy after you get the hang of it and doing something like getting Linux remote desktop working properly may very well be more complicated than getting Plex installed in the first place. In fact, installing Plex is nearly trivial.
Find the link to the latest Ubuntu Plex package (*.deb file) on the Plex website, then in a terminal on your server do this:wget <link_to_deb>
sudo dpkg -i downloaded-file-name.deb
That's it. Some things REALLY are much easier and more straightforward by using the command line. The first command downloads the Plex package, the 2nd one installs it.

Hi
>>52384386
>>52383222
Yeah there really isn't anything difficult about it. Just read the installation instructions and make sure you apt-get all the dependencies(though you could just apt-get -f install after running dpkg)
I love the concept of strong computers feed thin clients. Use this as my powerhouse for video editing/game streaming along with a giant Plex server, Teamspeak, Mail/nginx/etc server.

>>52384723
For aesthetic reasons you could wire the reset button as a power button, just change the cables on mobo. Or disable power button either from bios or altogether and just a) keep it always on (from bios) or b) set up WOL with magic packets.
>>52384996
4gb isnt that much(especially for full visualization). Where do you host your files? If its on the g7 then you might run in to some problems if you like streaming/torrenting on your server(they can choke even with fast protocols like nfs). I would look into containers(lxc) which allow a clean environment with minimal wasted ram and possibilities for fast disk access(via mountpoints)
>>52382466
Hello. Pleb here.
Can you tell me for what purpose you're using a home server? Give me multiple examples if possible.
Looking to build a home server, currently picking parts. I'm used to building computers, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to picking parts for a fileserver.
My main focus is reliability and power saving(and of course money). Plan is to put CentOS on it and run ZFS with 3x2TB disks. I may also put PLEX on it.
Here's my list so far. Opinions? Can I jew more on the processor?
>>52385233
run services that you wouldn't run on a vps you rent:
plex
Torrent clients
Usenet Clients (sabnzbd nzbget)
headphones couchpotato etc
VMs
Home automation
media sorting
the possibilities are limitless
>>52385233

>A webserver that allows my girlfriend to easily download anime from me because torrent is blocked in her dorm
>Torrent server, controlled via webui from my main desktop
>Hentai@Home for mad exhentai points
>Privately hosted cloudstorage (ownCloud)
I could run most of this on my main desktop, but I dislike the idea of not being able to shut down my computer when I want to.
>>52385338
Everyone will probably tell you that you need ECC RAM if you want to go with ZFS. At which point you'll realize that you need to start making compromises either by getting an older generation cpu+mb kit, or by shelling out a lot more money.
Am I the only one that's had very bad luck with headphones? My music collection is very well organized(just filed by musicbrainz), but it hardly recognizes any of it, and there is no obvious way to match the rest.
Planning on mirroring two sets of two disks for data and media on winblows server 2012 and storage spaces.
Refs or ntfs? Only thing putting me off refs is that I can't just pull a drive and read it on other machines because refs.
>>52387347
For 2012 I'd to NTFS. I don't think ReFS is quite mature enough yet.
Also, if you're going to use Storage Spaces let it handle the RAID levels, and present the disks to it as JBOD.
Considering replacing my ProLiant Micro G8.
Toying with http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bsDwRB
Otherwise, I'll go full retard and pick up a pair of Dell R610's and an MD3200 + a couple MD1200's.
Would prefer to stay simple-ish
>>52384623
Leaf blower? You mean jet engine.
I'm thinking of getting a quiet server instead.
I don't use it because of the noise.
Quite a waste of money, unfortunately

>tfw your server keeps your closet, and bedroom warm.
>>52387696
>Also, if you're going to use Storage Spaces let it handle the RAID levels, and present the disks to it as JBOD.
I'm a bit apprehensive of committing to something like that for now. I'm used to my retard method, syncing disks using freefilesync.
Gives me the opportunity to undo changes, along side shadow copies, allows me to just pull a drive if the machine were to die and read it on any other machine I have and I can't destroy all my data by being a retard.
If I had spare disks to fuck around with I'd mess around with storage spaces a bit more and get some experience.
>>52388258
Storage spaces puts metadata on the disk. Any Win 8 machine can read a storage spaces set.
I've had to do DR a few times when servers blew up.
Protip - you can attach the disks via USB and as long as enough of them are there, the data is perfectly transferable.
>>52388302
A shit I forgot about that. It wouldn't be the case if I used Refs but I forgot you can use NTFS too.
I suppose since my plan is to use 2-3 sets of 2 mirrors I could pull either drive on its own and it should be readable right? Is it possible to read them on winblows 7 too?
>>52388356
Let's back up a minute. How many total disks are you planning on using?
>>52388380
4x4tb and 2x3tb.
I'm currently backing up the 4tb drives onto the empty 3tb drives so that I can reformat the 4tb drives, copy everything back over and then set up the 3tb mirror drives last.
>>52388442
Add the 4tb drives as JBOD to storage spaces, and then create a mirror volume. Once the data is back on the 4tb drives, add the 3's to the storage pool and expand the volume.
I understand why you want to do things with mirrors, but you're adding an additional level of complexity, and what happens when you can't use the RAID controller?
As for Windows 7 and storage spaces, I don't recall, and I'm too lazy to search it.
>>52388554
>>52388442
Also, take a look at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822938.aspx. You can ignore the powershell, unless you don't want to.
>>52388554
>I understand why you want to do things with mirrors, but you're adding an additional level of complexity, and what happens when you can't use the RAID controller?
That's the beauty of it, I'm not relying on a RAID controller. I'm in AHCI mode and all my disks are individual volumes. I sync them using freefilesync, it's a pretty nifty piece of software.
Also the only reason as to why I'd rather not include the 3tb drives with the rest is because theyre running through a single usb3 controller and they start acting up when theyre accessed simultaneously. Currently waiting on an esata controller that should take care of that though then we'll see.
>>52388153
Nice, i was looking at a new switch for home use zo might look into those.
>>52388770
>I sync them using freefilesync
Apparently I can't into reading today. Sorry.
Including the 3TB drives is not required at all. I know, I'll get shit for it because Windows, but I'm a huge fan of Storage Spaces. Use it at home on small (4+) drive arrays, and at work in storage clusters (72 - 500+) drive arrays per node.
>>52385338
>>52386438
Use ECC even if you aren't using ZFS. One stray corruption in your filesystem read then *boom* you could loose crucial metadata.
And for fucks sake backup too!
>>52388942
Don't get me wrong I've had a quick play with 2 empty drives I had but that doesn't really give you the real experience . I'd love to fuck around with it with 10+ drives and see what it all actually means. I simply don't have the drives and spare data to mess around.
>>52388554
If your going to use windows storage spaces it wouldn't be that bad of a idea to use it with ReFS
>>52385156
Guess I can always leave the 8 gigs of non ECC ram in it.
Also care to explain what's lxc?
>>52389520
In 2016 testing I'm using ReFS, but I everything in production is 2012 r2.
I think I'll end up rebuild a lot of my storage spaces environment when I deploy 2016, because thus far I really like the way it handles clusters and local storage.
currently waiting for a 3tb WD Red drive.

I'd definitely recommend the GS1920-24 over the Netgear GS724T. I've used both, but the Zyxel is better, in that price segment. If you have a slightly bigger budget, there are some nice Procurves with better support and warranty.

What distro are you running on that poweredge? I'm actually having some trouble getting centos 7 running on it, and I'm curious if you might have experienced similar. Debian gave me driver trouble, so I'm out of preferred distros to run on the thing.
>>52390351
Not that anon, but what errors were you getting, and I'm guessing you're using x64? I can give it a shot when I get home, and sometimes OEM's will provide custom installation media. Dell is especially good about this with VMWare.
>>52390257
Thanks i'll look into it :)

>>52382466

>>52395440
So nobody else controls the machine.
If someone wants to know what is going on on your server then they have to get a warrant.

I guess if I'm spending a lot of money on this already, I might as well go all out. Most of the ECC compatible motherboards require a Xeon processor, so the price goes up even more. I guess I'll save up for a month before make the purchase.
Do you guys do anything to thoroughly test drives before using them? Just did a quick surface test using hard disk sentinel which took about 90 minutes each and came back fine.

Asrock makes quite a few non-server boards that take ECC. Intel is funny with ecc compatibility when it comes to their processors.
Certain celerons, pentiums, I3 and I5 are ECC compatible but very few. Intel ARK isn't overly accurate either.
It's cheaper to go AMD if you want the cheapest ECC route but I was deterred by the performance.

Just curious, why would you use Team Viewer for remote access? Are you managing servers on a network that you don't own (i.e. no VPN)? It wouldn't make sense to use it in a LAN environment.
>>52397397
Thanks for the reply.
After reading quite a bit about ZFS and ECC, I decided that it's better to just go for it. It's more future proof anyway, and if I'm building something I might as well try to be serious about it.
Here's my updated list. Price went up about $200 but I can manage that.
>>52398601
>support contract is needed in order to be be able to download BIOS and firmwares
Since when? I bought my microserver in ~july and got all the drivers, BIOS updates and firmwares for free after registering my product number.
>>52398979
You can save more on the cpu if you wanted. For example my microserver came with a Celeron g1610t, supports ecc a d is more than enough for simple filesharing. It even handled 1-2 plex transcodes.
>>52398979
Also the psu could be a bit cheaper. In the UK that psu is roughly £50 but there are 450-500w ones for £35ish by EVGA for example. It's not like your pay will be stressed with a low power CPU and a few drives.
Red drives are okay but really just overpriced green drives with a different firmware. I've recently bought 2x3tb Toshiba's that run just as quiet and cool as my 4tb reds, are 7200rpm and use about 1watt more each.
Anyone knows for kimsufi, digicube, online.net alternative?
>>52399374
>>52399322
There's not a lot to save on PSU or the drives for me, unless I went with Seagate Barracuda drives. I can save a little bit by going WD Blues instead of Red, and as far as I heard the WD Blues aren't that bad anymore.
As for the CPU I am being cautious. My choice is mostly based on the fact that its power footprint is really low, at 35W while others are at 54W.
Another alternative would be the Intel Celeron G1840 for less money.
When are SSDs going to be more cost effective than HDDs? I just want to replace all my old shit without paying an assload.
hey /hst/ what would be the optimal small form factor home server, i'm running mine off of a thinkpad (t410) because in the event of power failiure the battery carries it over and i slapped 2*2tb drives in it but i'm looking to make something a bit more extensible.
>>52399301
For the first two years support is free, after that subscribe to a new support contract or get fucked.

>>52398279
Arista 7150SX 24 port 10GbE switch.
>>52395426
It's an excellent idea actually, because its very easy to update and has the most recent software, as we all know. No more sitting nervously as you wait for a specific patch (or compiling it yourself), and no more hunting around for software you want to run, because of the AUR.
Faggots like to talk about 'muh updates breaking things' and 'muh instable software'. It's all bs. You decide when to upgrade and very rarely do updates break anything. For example Arch just recently switched to php7; a simple yaourt -C later, diffing the new config files to my old and tested ones, and the issue was solved.

Holy shit I didn't think that included the drivers and firmware. I was waiting for something like this to show itself, everything seemed a bit too easy and cheap for HP. The damn thing only cost me £170 new.

I have 4x4tb drives (wd red) and I want to make a raid array out of them. Should I go raid 10 or 6? I like the fact that ANY hdd can die with raid6, but I'm nervous about potential drive failures during resilvering and construction of the array (plus everyone touts raid10 as being the nectar of the gods). Any insight?

Yeah, I just took it off for the picture.

I have the same drives as you and set up raid 10 using windows storage spaces. it's bretty gud lad but you still need backup.
Raid 10 will be faster than 6 with 4 drives, I'd suspect even with a good controller.

Speed isn't too much of a concern with me, I just want to be able to survive a drive failing. Ideally I'd have another server for backing up all my shit, but I don't feel comfortable shelling out another $600-700 to do that.
Raid 6 and 10 both will be able to recover from the loss of two drives, but both have their disadvantages. Resilvering raid6 has a good potential to fail, and raid10 will fail if two drives in each raid0 array fail. I can't decide on which to pick.

*one drive in each
I have 2x drives in an esata enclosure and a usb3 hard drive that i would like to create a pool with under storage spaces but the usb3 doesnt show up in the primordial pool.
I can format it and it works fully but can't add it to a pool.

Debian Stable released in April 2015. And also what is backports?

You wanted something half decent yet you went with lowpoint... pleb

I thought it would be better than a £12 startech thing. It works fine and the only problem seems to be related to storage spaces. All the reviews I checked didn't mention it except a couple and I happened to miss those.

Cheese and lots of fiber werks best. You'll be passing pine cones in no time.
Running glorious Fedora 23 Server here.

I also have a Fedora server 23 VM running nginx to serve a really simple web interface, transmission-daemon, minidla and samba.
Works pretty good.
