Should have installed a cutoff valve while you’re down there for when you feel the need for speed LOL

- Comment on Help me figure out the way to scale laterally? 5 weeks ago:
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Any clue what the power draw on the disk array is? I did some basic measurement with the kill-a-watt and a spinner takes about 6-7W where as an SSD takes about 2, the price difference is too much for my use case tho, performance per watt per TB, I’m better off with 1 single disk (or a mirror pair) of 6 TB in spinning rust.
I’m not particularly concerned about data security since I’m syncing evrything 3 ways. Whenever one of the drive fails I’ll consider it a “surprise disaster recovery exercise” XD

Appreciate your input. K8 is on the roadmap. Currently on portrait using pangolin as a tunneled proxy.
Eventually plan to migrate from Joomla in LXC to a docker swarm load balanced by pangolin.

It does but there’s a lot of other stuff connected that I can’t unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.
I’m using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220’s and 128 G and 8 spinners.

- Comment on What else should I self-host? 1 month ago:
I don’t trust oracle at all. The guide uses them because they’re free (It includes a business generator so that oracle doesn’t reclaim your box)
I personaly went with IONOS because they have a 2.99 plan with unlimited bandwidth which is great for pangolin as that’s routing traffic for my “media” box
- Comment on What else should I self-host? 1 month ago:
Host a pangolin reverse proxy on a free oracle cloud VPS! It’s super nice to redirect online traffic to a LAN resource, that way you can share your home lab with friends and family without having to forward any ports or loosen your security posture.

I also highly recommend this suite of tools for downloading and streaming legal media via torrent because I would never endorse piracy.
- Comment on VMware’s rivals ramp efforts to create alternative stacks 1 month ago:
Interesting,
I’ve automated deployment with SDNET and templates, but the other stuff you’re doing with terraform is more akin “Orchestration” There must be some GUI for terraform that works with proxmox.
I guess you could do the same with expansible and playbooks but it sounds like you’re looking for something with a GUI that does the work for you.
I can’t think of any, but proxmox does have an API … wondering why no one has done this yet …
- Comment on Questions about DAS 1 month ago:
My previous experience is with dropbox and onedrive and I tend to limit bandwidth … I want sync to happen in the background. It’s not something I usually consider “high priority”
I found NC to be a lot more flexible and complete, specially with all the machine learning options. I also appreciate the privacy and price Hosting about 7TB of data for $10 worth of power a month and a $150 investment that allows me to host many other things.
The web interface in my case is a bit slow initially but that’s mostly because I opted to route it via pangolin reverse proxy / cloud flare tunnels, but I notice once the redis cache DB loads it’s blazing fast.
Overall I’m pretty happy with the speed, I’m sharing this with a family of 15 and I haven’t heard any complaints yet.

not sure what the big deal is, I’m running a docker lab with portrainer inside a proxmox LXC
- Comment on Questions about DAS 1 month ago:
Wow! Thanks so much for that explanation. I think In my mind I was mixing DAS with SAN and “fabric”
I’m much more confident now In planning this upgrade.
- Comment on Questions about DAS 1 month ago:
Good Point, idrac has issues on this server, I’ll take another crack at it and see if I can get it going.
I tried with powerstat and powertop but no dice
- Comment on Questions about DAS 1 month ago:
about 5TB of the 7 I have available are in use. I was planning on expanding to 12 to allow for growth.
I could just upgrade to bigger drives (1 TBs currently) but it feels cheaper to go with DAS
- Comment on Questions about DAS 1 month ago:
Good point. I actually have a watt meter coming in the mail tomorrow. Will measure the idle consumption of the r430 and report back. This thing sits mostly at under 10% except when running backups or the machine learning algos for nextcloud image recognition.

hell yeah
- Comment on Questions about DAS 1 month ago:
I’ve considered it, but decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware.
I have a good source thru my job for tons of CTO hardware, these R230’s cost me about 50 bucks a pop, and considering they sip power they’re a really hard to pass deal, it sounds like a really good way to learn proxmox HA, load balancing and ceph minus the storage capacity
I guess I could still host a 10G nas on an r230 with a DAS, but my questions remain.

- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 1 month ago:
I’m currently using CF Tunnels and I’m thinking about this (I have pretty good offers for VPS as low as $4 a month)
Can you comment on bandwidth expectations? My concern is that I also tunnel Nextcloud and my offsite backups and I may exceed the VPS bandwidth restrictions.
BTW I’m testing Pangolin which looks AWESOME so far.

You already have a lot of good answers … but I got one more to add.
I have a very similar setup on my homelab and I’m using a Cloudflare tunnel.
It’s a free service and it’s really good because it allows you to expose web services and specific ports for remote access over dynamic IPs without having to expose your own router.

- Comment on Asus Z890 motherboards emerge at a U.S. retailer — pricing starts at $280 and goes over $1,000 10 months ago:
Motherboards are all about I/O and connectivity.
Personally, I do the exact same thing (I’m still Running an MSI B350M with a 5900X) but I can understand people that pay a couple hundred bucks to have extra ports / slots or built in wifi or whatever …
$1000 for a motherboard tho … that’s ridiculous. What could possibly be worth 1000$?
