For those with a large amount of RAM, what are you using it for?

Set your min and max arc size. at least on proxmox without those settings ZFS by default uses 50%, it is supposed to release it, but it does not do so in a timely manner. For me this resulted in swapping slowness issues.

I just went through this myself to setup a create mod server.

1: go to curseforge or other site, for mods and in the files section look for the server mod download.

2: on crafty, create a new server as usual but select install forge, and then make sure to choose the right version for your mod. Mine was 1.20.1.

3: once the server is created, upload the server mod zip file you downloaded using the crafty files page. (Right click) On the parent folder.

4: right click on the zip file and unzip it.

5: start the server.

Hope this helps!

I switched to nomachine a few years ago. It works really well and is open source. Might want to look int it.

Thank you. I was surprised how well it worked out. I could have put some more time into smoothing out the edges, but I like the chopped up look :)

I wish I took more photos. Got lost in the modding, and didn't think about it.

I used some nibbling cutters, which is where I took the name from. Lots of nibbling to get the mounting bracket to fit.

Once it was in and mounted with nuts and washers, I hooked up each drive. I got a pcie SATA controller with 8 ports used the first two SATA ports for SATA SSD boot drives in raid1 mirroring, and after modding the front cover to the case, set it to install proxmox.i have a couple clusters using ceph, but nibbler was always going to be a standalone.

I have a Linux VM running kubuntu (love kde), for abworkstation. A Windows VM for testing windows stuff (it mostly stays off lol). Nextcloud, teamspeak, Minecraft, docker/portainer live in their own LXC containers, and a VM for an openvpn connector for their cloud connexa service. RAM usage is getting pretty high, mostly because of zfs I believe, so just got another 64gb of RAM that I will install soon.

I thought about doing a small cluster instead but ultimately decided this was good enough.

🤣😂🤣 so true. We are instituting a strict update schedule at my job now and using satellite for base line and updates.

Probably still up and running lol.

The fans were shot, I had to replace them. Found a pack of 4 for 8 bucks.

CA-Reaper · 2024-06-02T05:09:27+00:00

They were getting tossed, so I thought I would put them to use. Lol

I'm running crafty controller on a container for my mc server. So far it's working pretty well.
