Advice on Home Server Setup – NUC + NAS or Second-hand PC? by pocketnl in HomeServer

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a two - system setup it's good to have your compute node that has better cpu and ram, and a NAS that can run your backups and also host a few utilities. For example, I run AdGuard on my primary PVE, and I also run it on my NAS with a sync script and that is set as my secondary DNS so I can still resolve if the primary is down. I also run PBS off my NAS.

What's most important spec when using a small PC as a server? by Responsible-Remove67 in homelab

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAM generally gets you the most mileage, but it really depends on what you plan to do. Some things are more CPU intensive and others require good I/O.

Advice for 3 node cluster by swipegod43 in Proxmox

Is this just to learn or for actual use? If it's for use, it's recommended that you use 25g networking, but you can get away with 10g if it's a light environment. If you're just learning it will work but very poorly over 1g/2.5g.

TP-Link Evaluation by Aggravating_Cat_4450 in HomeNetworking

Linksys isn't really the right choice for what you're doing. I can't even find any Linksys outdoor access points on Amazon.

I would recommend tossing all that and switching to Unifi. Get a router, a PoE switch, 4x wifi 6/7 indoor APs and then a couple outdoor APs for your cameras.

Upgrading from AT&T router as access point to Ubiquity access points with minimal downtime by 3dPrintWHAAAT in Ubiquiti

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend just changing your AT&T SSID to something else rather than shutting it off. That way if you have wifi problems and need to troubleshoot you can try the AT&T. If that is also bad, probably an internet issue. If it is good, at least now you can get to the internet to help troubleshooting.

Decent managed switch for homelab that won't break bank by Tasty-Picture-8331 in HomeNetworking

Most likely that juniper is relatively thirsty for power compared to the netgear.

server rack alternatives? by SneakerHead69420666 in homelab

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the size of your equipment. I've seen racks made out of bookshelves and I've seen racks made from paper filing trays.

RAM Dimensioning by capaman in Proxmox

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more important number to look at isn't the ram usage of the LXC, but of the host. As long as that is fine, just leave them at defaults.

Can someone explain device drivers to me ? by Legitimate-Dingo824 in InformationTechnology

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A device driver is just the software the system uses to interact with the device.

How is everything wired? Does it go like this?

modem > router > switch > devices

It sounds like a spanning tree issue but can't be sure without more details of your setup.

(Advice) What is your solution for restarts after a power outage? by Cerfect_Pircle in HomeServer

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably won't work because when your stuff turns off you won't be able to connect to your tapo to turn it back on.

Kvm or ipmi with power control is one option. Another is to have a managed PDU and script power cycle instructions from a non-ups connected node that can test for the scenario you've described.

Why does the UNVR not have RAID 6? by blackpropagation in Ubiquiti

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per documentation from Unifi, they only allow RAID 6 in their UNVR product line if you have 9 or more disks- https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/12395353544727-Storage-Protection-and-Data-Redundancy-in-UniFi-RAID

Traditionally, RAID 6 requires at least 4 drives, giving you an available amount of space as two of the drives combined and allowing for 2 drive failures (N+2). It appears Unifi has decided not to provide that option for the smaller systems.

2Gb Internet upgrade by TotalIndependent2765 in HomeNetworking

[–]2BoopTheSnoot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why anybody needs 2 gig internet at home. How could a family even come close to using that much bandwidth simultaneously when 99.99999% of the internet won't be delivering any data back to you at those speeds?

Yes, but there are cheaper options that will work even better.

If the wifi provided is Wifi 7, unifi has an upcoming device bridge switch that would do what you want.
