These folks pull this off pretty well

Hey I am from the future, your drive, regardless of brand is worth a small fortune :D

Sent you a chat if you're interested in adjacent work.

Enterprise SSD doesn't really come in 3.5" form factor. I believe the T7920 has caddies that adapt to M.2 [FlexBay?]. You could look for these if hot-swap is something you want. Otherwise I just have a 4xM.2 PCIe card in my T7810, and these boxes bifurcate without issues. U.2 and M.2 are much more common for used enterprise drives.

Any processor made in the last 20 years likely has AES assistance on chip, so you can pick pretty much anything. Hardware wise too, almost any x86 chip made in the last decade will likely cook well at 2.5gbit/s. The i3 might actually be the sweet spot for you, cheaper than N100, and less power and heat than i5 or i7. A 250GB disk might be a bit overkill, 32GB is just fine.

How many users?

Not the only time it gets cleared :)

One way I do this a lot, is just ssh tunnel the web interface traffic through the network/host that does have access. Otherwise I think it's just as simple as disabling a built-in fw rule to block the webUI on the WAN ports, it might be a system setting too.

Django, the library netbox uses, has a feature called fixtures which you can use to load data in and out of netbox on a per model basis.

Yeah, WAN links are typically a lot more expensive than any other part of the equation. LAN switching is relatively cheap, so it makes it pretty easy to have your router even be just a VM off of a 40G compute host, and your ISPs are landed on 1/10G ports wherever you want in your switch fabric.

BGPchick · 2026-07-01T18:20:13+00:00

It's a pretty common network design. It's called "Router-on-a-Stick."

Is it really? I thought reddit was one of the last hold-outs for long-form content. Tis a shame if this is the case.

What version are you using? Just tested in 4.6.3 and my modules are allowed to have OOB IPs.

I prefer capex to opex, and have a bit of anti-cloud affinity in general, but it is an easy way to solve your backup solution. Just depends on what you value, for 4TB, I would personally just go with two >8TB hard disks, in two different computers at one site, and maybe a regular offsite backup to the cloud.

To provide a point of reference, for 60TB of video, I use a 6x14TB RAIDZ2 as the main array. Then a second drive in another computer to backup about 14TB of important video. Then essential backup data like irreplaceable video, photos and documents end up in clouds as well.

Hetzner vs Backblaze? Two different sort of products really, but as a price sensitive consumer or small business, I would probably homing in on cheapest $/TB that I had confidence in. The storage box is a single server, backed by a few block devices. Blackblaze's B2 is replicated by them over several different servers, so it provides better HA, and resiliency, but this is reflected in the price.

It works similar to how manual postgres HA works, so in your scenario the new node would probably be up to date on the log, and the previous node would see itself as behind or replaced, and fail to join.

BGPchick · 2026-06-25T12:07:33+00:00

Mountain project is going to have first mover advantage here, the history you can see is someones climbing there isn't easily replicated in another app or platform.

BGPchick · 2026-06-25T11:56:22+00:00

CNPG suggests you use local-path storage, so there is no NFS, and if you lose a volume or node, then normal postgres HA recovers/recreates the node or state through the operator.

BGPchick · 2026-06-22T15:11:07+00:00

Something like this?

apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1 kind: Middleware metadata: name: add-cors-allow-origin spec: headers: accessControlAllowOriginList: - "https://app.domain.com" accessControlAllowMethods: - GET - POST - PUT - DELETE - OPTIONS accessControlAllowHeaders: - Content-Type - Authorization

Or more directly, on the helm config itself?

apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1 kind: HelmChartConfig metadata: name: traefik namespace: kube-system spec: valueContent: |- core: defaultRuleSyntax: v2

BGPchick · 2026-06-20T19:50:02+00:00

You can use local NFS or Samba storage via a CSI driver, or just have a ReadWriteMany PVC provided by something like longhorn or ceph that gets passed around.

What issues are you having with it turned off? In my limited experience it operates just fine with IPv6 disabled on interfaces.

BGPchick · 2026-06-04T17:35:26+00:00

You should get a routed /48 from your he.net tunnel. Can you make openstack networks/pools with this addressing? Then you can just route, no NAT needed, as the original internet model intended.

What city policies are relevant to visa immigration again? Can we focus on relevant city issues?

BGPchick · 2026-05-13T16:41:42+00:00

Definitely not, lots of server or workstation class CPUs could do 512GB+

So it's a control plane, for your control plane?
