Truenas Scale NAS server, just add the storage.

Given that the other HDD manufacturers lack the tools to even identify the fraud (FARM), but Seagate drives do, this is actually a reason to buy Seagate.

Thanks!

Ok, stupid question from a stupid person: if I have a phone connected to a local WiFi network, and I type in the URL of a subdomain which points make to that same network ie a hosted service on a home server, what route does the data take from the service back to my phone?

Alternative option: Truenas Scale. Supermicro motherboard. AMD Epyc (used) for lots of PCIE lanes. LSI 9300 and AEC 82885 expander. 16TB+ drives. Rack mount, with SAS back planea. RaidZ2 minimum. Special vdev, NVMe drives and dedicated apps and VM storage, don’t be afraid of a converged solution.

And fans. Lots of fans.

Pretty sure truenas scale can host everything you want so you might only want one server. Use Epyc for the pcie lanes, and a fractal design r7 XL and you could even escape needing a rack mount if you wanted. Use a pcie to m.2 adapter and you could easily host apps on them on a mirrored pool and use a special vdev to speed up the HDD storage pool

The role of the proxmox server would essentially be filled by apps and/or VM you could turn on or off as needed.

Have you got a recent copy of the configuration file?

Stop giving me flashbacks.

Yeah, this.

I have a supermicro with an epyc processor. 7 x16 slots and 2 x8 slots. I only need one x8 slot for a HBA card, the other could be used for one of these cards. It should be able to pull a couple of separate transcoding streams at any one time.

Boo, I wanted one to go in a x8 slot, would make for a great jellyfin transponder in actual server hardware.

Thanks for the link.

Do they only need a PCIE 4.0 x8 slot? The card length makes it look like a x8 in a x16 slot…m

I’ve used expressvpn on an Asus router, using fusion to split different ip addresses onto different vans and its been sound, no issues. So much easier than I was expecting.

Thank you for explaining, as that’s really helpful for my own learning

Yeah, it felt like a bit of a dumb suggestion for someone in your position. Might work for someone with a less…robust level of need? Works for me with a QNAP QSW-2104-2T (this doesn’t meet your criteria fwiw, unmanaged, not sfp+ but there is an sfp+ version that’s still unmanaged) does that really matter if you have a pfsense box?

Edit: QSW-2104-2S is the double sfp+ version.

Er…Asus RE-BE88 technically meets that criteria but that’s a router…I think it even does the VLAN stuff?

I’m not the best person to explain the how or why but they are looking at Q3 for beta and Q4 for main release.

I’m running Immich, Nextcloud and Jellyfin on TNS and it’s fine. Nextcloud takes a bit of work though.

TrueNAS Scale will have Docker in the next release in August, along with the ability to expand Vdevs.

Probably not that helpful but Truenas Scale and the Nextcloud App, and then just used the Collabora “plugin” as I gave up using a separate Collabora App because I couldn’t make them work together. Probably going to have to fix everything again in August when the next TNS update drops (Electric Eel) and enables vDev extensions.

Couple of points: Nurses get put upon. Will you leave on the dot at 1700? There are nursing jobs where you hand off to the next person on duty ie staff nurse, so when you go home you don’t have to worry about anything, but most of the 9-5 jobs the job has defined responsibilities. Even if one is off the clock there are still thoughts running around inside your head. It takes a bit of skill to be able to put them aside every day.

It’s really hard to fit everything you need to do at the weekend on a 9-5 compared to the flexibility of shifts. You have to be rigorous in terms of doing personal work in the evening after the job has finished.

Tbh have to look at career progression as well. Its not a straightforward choice.
