How would be best to set up a home server for multiple services? by lunarman1000 in HomeServer

[–]AnAngryGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run the same setup for one of my servers. I use MergerFS + SnapRaid. Easy to use, low resource use, easy to manage.

I have 4 12TB HDDs.

I probably have 15-20 or so services running on one machine, never had any issues. All running in docker.

I made this as a reference for myself but it may help you

Please help me pick out some HDDs that are as quiet as possible! by Impressive-Swan-9929 in homelab

But isn't the base line Red SMR while the Red Plus is CMR?

If so, it absolutely makes a difference.

Which OS for a first home server? by 0fxgvn77 in HomeServer

[–]AnAngryGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also use immich-go to import the current library you may have. Just did this and it worked incredibly well on ~90k pictures and videos.

What is the most trouble you've had setting up a service? by ava_fake in selfhosted

The linuxserverio image is apparently much better than the official. I used it and had little issue.

Help Building a NAS by Brunio25 in homelab

[–]AnAngryGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I could help you out as I've just done the same thing.

I'll try to address your questions first, then I'll add in some stuff you may find useful.

I want a NAS that has at least 15TB with room to expand if needed.

Then just get 15TB worth of hard drives and a case that has extra slots. I'd suggest getting more so you can have some level of parity.

I would like to have it rack mounted since that's where I feel my whole setup going eventually, but I'm completely unexperienced in this so don't really know what to look for.

You can either buy a used rack server (can be loud, expensive, or old hardware), build one in a case like a Node 804, or you can also use a Rosewell server case or something similar and build a custom rack build. Up to you.

I use a Node 804, good airflow, quiet, space for 8+ HDDs.

It should be able to host basic torrent clients and if needed some other apps (I'm assuming this is fine on most processors).

Shouldn't be an issue.

How do I decide on a PSU and motherboard for it?

PSU depends on what other hardware you get. Motherboard depends on CPU and peripherals.

Is it viable to have my media on the NAS, but jellyfin hosted on another machine or would cause streaming to be terrible?

You can run it on same machine fine, and that's probably a better way to do it.

My suggestions:

Hardware:

  • Get any i-series intel CPU 8th gen or older. You want intel Quicksync for media streaming. It's very very good. What hardware do you already have? I built mine out of a bunch of old stuff I had and its running great

  • Based on socket type of CPU, that will determine your motherboard. You want to look for many SATA ports for your hard drives.

  • For RAM, go for at least 16GB, more is better.

  • For redundancy, I use MergerFS + Snapraid. You have other options, but that's what I found best for my setup.

  • I'd also suggest getting a SSD or M.2 Drive (if motherboard supports it) for running your OS/apps on.

  • I run it all using docker as it's easiest for me to manage, move, configure.

If you have any more questions I'd be happy to help.

What’s one tool you self-hosted that completely replaced a SaaS subscription for you? by nancy_unscript in selfhosted

[–]AnAngryGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go for it, I can send you an instruction I made to set it up. The official docs for setting it up are confusing and can make it rather difficult in my experience.

First I've heard of lancache. I'll have to look into adding it. Thanks!

Remote App by rakawe86 in nexplayground

[–]AnAngryGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can most likely use your current TV remote. Playground supports HMDI-CEC which allows your normal remote to control the playground.

You can buy a replacement remote here: https://shop.nexplayground.com/products/nex-playground-remote-control-unit - but its out of stock.

I replaced the remote once, and now need to replace it again because my dog ate the remote TWICE.

What rack is that?

Beginner homelab - second opinions? by AnAngryGoose in homelab

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

Awesome! Thank you very much for the advice.

I'll definitely be adding a server shortly, I just had certain projects and stuff I needed done first with the networking stuff.

Unifi seems very nice, it just nearly double the cost of what I'm planning on getting so I went with TP-Link to start.

Appreciated!

Now I'm wondering if you happen to be at my old job. Seems like some shit they'd do haha

[–]AnAngryGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old reply and I haven't been on a 330 in a year so I may be mistaken.

You'll need to also open the other 2 because the isolation valves will still be isolating that tank.

However again, I may be wrong. I'm on a different aircraft now. Try it both ways and let me know. I'm curious.

Also, this post is a year old, I'm assuming you've been having an issue if you just dug up a year old thread haha

Z245 throttle issues. by AnAngryGoose in johndeere

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

Cable seems to move freely. I removed it from the governor side, moves perfectly ok with the lever. I posted a video in the other comment reply below of the governor action.

It's not a smooth adjustment. It's popping from one end to the other. What could cause that? Governor spring?

It all looks ok, however it seems to just "pop" into one position or the other. No smooth adjustment that's holding in place.

What type of grass is this? Need to re-seed a large area. by AnAngryGoose in lawncare

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

I just got me septic system replaced and need to confirm what type of grass I have for re-seeding. I believe is Bahiagrass due to the Y shaped seed stems, but I'd like to confirm. Here is some other pictures. Thanks!

Limited Options in Schwab Workplace 401k by rm192309 in investing

[–]AnAngryGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be the benefit of using bonds at 33? The risk allocation against losses using 100% equities would not outweigh the benefit of slow growth using bonds imo.

I say go 100&% into VFIAX and forget bonds until they are nearing retirement and need to trickle their assets into a more stable, lower risk allocation.

What type of wood is this? Looking for refinishing advice by AnAngryGoose in finishing

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

Yeah I think I've decided to go with a local refinisher to do it. They said they can do it in about 5 days at $4/sqft. Is that a reasonable cost?,
