Zak :1password:<p>I've noticed that a lot of people that I've talked to on the subject of backups, including in response to this comment, do not back up their TV and movies. Which makes sense considering how much storage those things tend to take up. It just seems like a shame to be risking all of it to disk failure.</p><p>Backing all of that up to something like Backblaze would be incredibly expensive, and even purchasing an additional set of drives just for backups would be quite a pain. There doesn't seem to be a great solution other than "just replace it all when your disks fail." Either that, or spend the money.</p><p>(I'm set on everything else. Documents and photos are in hosted cloud storage, and my music will always be in at least one other place.)</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>

Zak :1password:<p>Those of you who have your own home media servers, do you back up your media?

Salearlyman<p>Hey fellow sysadmin cosplay nerds, does anyone here use VyOS? I use VyOS as the main router for my home network and I just found out that a job for uploading backups to an off-site location is strangling my upstream bandwidth.</p><p>I want to create a QOS / traffic shaping policy to treat this as bulk traffic - take up as much bandwidth as available but give priority to all other traffic.</p><p>Is there a simple way to do this? I don't want to allocate a fixed bandwidth for it.</p><p><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeLab</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/vyos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vyos</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sysadmin</span></a></p>
Pete Keen<p>So, this turned out to be the HBA driver not liking IOMMU for whatever reason. Turning that off fixed everything.</p><p>I ordered yet another used SFF machine, this one with an i5-7500 and 16GB memory. I am going to install the HBA and 10gbit network cards, install TrueNAS, and then touch it as little as humanly possible. </p><p> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a></p>
Pete Keen<p>My <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> disk array went pear shaped again last night when I rebooted the host. No idea what's really going on. I've replaced the disk shelf PSUs, the HBA, and the memory in the host. I sort of suspect driver or kernel issues?</p><p>At this point I feel like my options are to get another SFF machine, throw stock Debian on it, and hook it to the shelf to see if that helps, or build myself a machine physically large enough to hold all the drives and connect them directly to the motherboard.</p><p>As a diagnostic step I'm going to pave the boot drive with Debian and see if anything works.</p>
Mauricio Teixeira 🇺🇸🇧🇷<p>What do you do folks with old/small SD cards?</p><p>I found out I've been accumulating a bunch of 2/4/8 GB cards, which are not really much useful these days. Trying to figure out if they're still useful, or if I should just trash them.</p><p>(Note: I do have a bunch of USB flash drives as well, so using adapters to make use of them as such doesn't help).</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeLab</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SelfHosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosted</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a></p>

Paco Hope #resist<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://phpc.social/@outofcontrol" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>outofcontrol</span></a></span> The way I plan my stuff is a mirrored pair of root drives, like 128G SSDs, and then whatever storage drives. Personally I tend to put it all in one chassis. I don’t, for example, have my VMs using iSCSI or NFS for their root volumes. (I might to that for data volumes.)</p><p>TrueNAS will set up ZFS right. You can trust the defaults. I think I might have RAID5 ZFS and be booting off the ZFS volume on my TrueNAS box. For my internet connected VMs I tend to do Xcp-ng on bare metal, with Xen Orchestra and Portainer to manage containers on my docker host VMs.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a></p>

Jeff Sikes<p>Big change coming in my home lab - keeping my work mule Synology DS718+ but upgrading from two 4 TB to two 20 TB drives. No more daisy chaining additional USB drives!

Out of Control :laravel: 🇨🇦<p>Currently using a Synology DS916+. It works well for what it does, and has a nice photo app on it. But I can't do all the things I want on it. So... starting to look to do DIY. </p><p>I get hung up on, cpu/machine to use, disk storage and backups.</p><p>I currently have a mix of WD drives from 2TB up to 10TB. Probably about 20 drives sitting around. </p><p>Does anyone have a place that has guides and recommended hardware suggestions?
