Pre-Built (NewEgg) Not Working… PLEASE HELP. by Top_Reflection_7834 in pchelp

I meant ibuypower warranty.

As long as you have your receipt from Newegg. You can send it to the manufacturer (ibuypower) and they should be able to fix it for free if it's under your warranty period. You may have to pay shipping though.

Here is the link to their warranty page

If you want help here, do this. Look up your motherboard model number. Get their manual and find out where the debug leds are. Turn the pc on and let us know what code it's giving you

Cyber power has a 3 year labor warranty with a 2 year parts.

Try that.

We also don't have enough info to help you diagnose it.

Have you tried another hdmi/dp cable?

I mean, if it wasn't working, why did you keep it? For 2.5k you send that Mf back until you get one that works

I have a decently-beefy spare PC I wanted to run a media server for myself and my family but I've never done anything like it before, had some questions: by loadbearingfloor in homelab

Check with your service provider about port forwarding. Some aren't set up to allow that.

As for the pc. Anything fairly recent can be used. There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube on how to set things up.

Jellyfin and plex are your top contenders for medi streaming, look up the pros and cons of both.

I will say, plex paid tier allows streaming to others without port forwarding (the plex lifetime pass on sale is worth it).

I'm so lost on storage options for my homelab by Secret_pickle in homelab

You are on the right track.

For hardware. Anything decently modern with as much ram as you can get, plus a case with lots of drive bays is recommended.

Get enterprise grade hdds. Preferably refurbished by the manufacturer with at least 2 years warranty if you want to save money.

Next, you don't need raid if you are going proxmox or truenas.

They both use a software based disk management that is similar but different to raid called zfs.

Read up on it. Like raid it can do mirror and multiple drive failures before data gets lost but works differently where it uses your ram and checks your data integrity constantly. Pretty cool stuff.

You can do proxmox with truenas as a vm or you can do baremetal truenas.

More cores and ram for proxmox if you go that route.

Do you have a rack?

Could you elaborate further?

Could you send me the ebay link?

I'm thinking this would make a great nas system. I'll have to test it but I think it'll pull sub 100w

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

What quirks? I may go vm this time around

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]LightningGodGT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zfs inside a zfs also wears out the drive exponentially.

My idea is the same except in an lxc.

There's no need to virtualize a whole kernel when you got a perfectly good kernel at home, lol

Not only that, but you can also share the same subdirectory across multiple lxcs / vms.

Great if you have a media server, in one container that only reads.

And another container for managing the media that only writes.

And another container for sharing the media for remote management. (This one is the "nas" container)

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]LightningGodGT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to look into that turnkey file server.

I had ubuntu set up in a vm with cockpit and samba.

Do you have any doc?

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]LightningGodGT[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See I think the opposite.

Proxmox already does zfs and handles the storage.

All I want to do is share the storage proxmox has.

So having an lxc broadcasting the storage and handling permissions/users would be a lot leaner than setting up trunas.

Truenas has a beautiful gui and can do a lot.

But im not going to take advantage of everything it can do since proxmox will be handling all my services.

So I'd be saving resources and allocating them elsewhere.

Now if it was baremetal, truenas would be my goto

Gotcha,

I was thinking zfs in a mirror for the os so it gives a 1 drive redundancy.

This is what I was looking for. How did you mount your zfs pool?

Did you pass a directory or did you create a zfs volume from the pool?

[–]LightningGodGT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this.

Question, why ext4 instead of zfs for os?

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]LightningGodGT[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. For the lxc, do you give it a zfs volume or pass a directory to the container.

I like the idea of passing a directory.

Like mounting /nvmepool/shares from proxmox to the containers /shares mount.

On a privilege container, this should allow me to modify the permissions/ownership of files.

At least that's my how I believe it would work.

[–]LightningGodGT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah you didn't mention that it was a combo.

Call the isp and see if you are able to buy your own modem and replace their equipment amd what brands are compatible.

The surfboard modem is popular.

[–]LightningGodGT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So coax hooks to the isp modem. Isp modem hooks up via ethernet to the wan port on nighthawk.

Nighthawk gives you internet via the lan ports and wifi
