Can I ask a couple questions about this server? Hardware config? Software? (OS + any monitoring) I am curious about ZFS but have never implemented it, are there good administration resources for whatever your setup is? my account at gmail if you prefer to reply directly. TIA
Sure! It's a repurposed gaming PC, so a 1st Gen Ryzen 1800X, 32 GB RAM. Took out the good GPU and bought the cheapest card I could find to support a tiny monitor for maintenance, but generally I manage it from my primary windows machine with X2Go (just a remote X server/client over SSH for Windows), and ssh directly if I'm on one my linux boxes. I use this SATA expander card to fit 8 4TB HDDs ( https://www.amazon.com…
Sorry for the delay - thanks!

#463I've bought a used Dell Poweredge T320 with Xeon E5-2428L (low consumption), 24GB RAM and an SSD, so it's quiet and cheap to run, and I've got Debian with dockerized services. jwilder/nginx-proxy to act as a reverse proxy that dynamically routes traffic to containers without manually editing the config, using subdomains, with SSL wildcard cert DokuWiki that I don't use much anymore Nginx to serve static files used by…
I run a Poweredge T20 with a Xeon E3-1275Lv3. I snagged a 32GB kit of ECC ram from somebody's trashcan Mac Pro on eBay for a song and have a couple SSDs for OS and VMs. I use USB WD MyBook drives for storage and backups. Right now the server, switch, drives etc is pulling 31 watts from the wall and it's so quiet you can't tell it's on. I'm sure it would keep running for hours off the cheap UPS I have it all on. I had…
If I replace it one day, it might be for a "miniITX" (whatever MB size corresponds to ~1 liter PCs) but I fear the cost of the case + specific MB + low-power processor with many threads + good NVME SSD will be through the roof, compared to this cheap used T320, and they're hard to find in used form, at least for now.

How is storj going ?
Have been getting $20-50/mo for sharing 15TB. Probably won't be worth it for the average developer with insane salary here, but I'm not complaining!
Nothing to sneeze at, thanks for the feedback.
That project and helium are the two crypto stuff I don’t find completely idiotic. ( or that is not finance, finance crypto “works”, too. But that idiotic too )

#465I have two raspberry pi's 8gb, with SSDs. Running Portainer for Docker management. I have everything containerized with docker-compose. - Most importantly, Cloudflare tunnel for exposing my services without opening ports on my router. - Tor relay (non-exit) - Pi-hole for DNS and ad blocking - Homepage dashboard - Audibookshelf - Jackett - Sonarr - Radarr - Jellyfin - qBittrorrent - Backup Pi-hole - Uptime Kuma Monito…
you use portainer but "have everything containerized with docker-compose". am i missing something regarding portainer that supports compose files, or do you run containers via compose files and use portainer for monitoring/logging and such?
You can create stacks in Portainer with compose file, that's what I meant...

Thanks for sharing, never heard of OnlyOffice...I will be investigating as part of a goal to manage shared access to ~30K MS Office files.
Good luck :D Honestly, it's one of my least favourite applications that I stuck with.. I find it horrendously slow (tried on linux+docker and even windows :P ).
But it looks good, does the job and stability hasn't been _bad_ :)
