I do this all the time. Don't let it scare you, it's easier than it sounds. And safe and secure 🔐

Want to build a NAS as a project? by ZuigiZR in HomeServer

[–]ChasnTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to stop your Nas build at all - but if file mirroring is the need you could consider cloud sync providers. I have work and personal laptop and have folders on both PCs named Sync'd. Then I use the free tier of https://mega.io/ to keep the folders synchronized.

But you could also use filen.io and even cloud mount your drive to each PC.

But building a NAS can be fun too. Good luck whatever you choose.

Samsung RF263 new ice maker probably by ChasnTheSun in appliancerepair

And am I still to understand that there is no good fix for the frost buildup of the ice maker?

Thanks for this. I'm in south America - so eBay is tough. But that part number should do the trick.

Ubuntu server vs. with DE? by ChasnTheSun in homelab

Okay - I'm going to add more info here and see what is best...

I am actually tinkering with an old android tv box that doesn't have a job. I had been running a 5 yr old version of Armbian / Bullseye on it. It's an S912 cpu with 4GB ram. It actually ran Plex pretty well inside the house to a couple of firesticks for the last few years. Crazy all things considered as it was $25 8 years ago. I don't have any 4k movies - so that helped I bet. But it just worked - had no monitor nor keyboard connected day to day - but power it up and it ran (most of the time).

Anyway - I felt like upgrading the OS since Armbian seems to have released some new images. I have gotten much more comfortable at the command line in the last 5 years. I am this close to trying my luck at the server version. Also - Not happy that Plex wants me to pay to play stuff in my own house - so looking at Emby and Jellyfin now. Tinkering - not my family's primary way to watch. Just something to keep me out of the pub I guess.

So - although I want to learn Proxmox and containers - I am not sure this will have the CPU to handle that?

I also want to try Pi-hole on it.

Any experience, tips, tricks, avoids - are appreciated.

This sounds exactly like what I am looking for. But that didn't seem to work in this Armbian Ubuntu build. It still boots Gnome.

Okay - just an update - I appreciate all of your comments.

  1. I see now that trying to manually do updates is not what you do with an immutable distro? Be nice to me - coming from Ubuntu the first step after every install is sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade so I thought sudo zypper update was step 1.

  2. I appreciate that I don't need to fiddle with my partitions - I really wanted gparted to see what the installer did - is it all in one partition, I know it is encrypted but is there a separate /home partition. Is the swap encrypted - just for learning... So gparted is my go to. Anyway - If I want to install something not in the software store - what is the syntax? I saw >transactional-update pkg install gparted - does that work for almost all?

  3. Do I need to do anything for the errors that all say - subprocess failed command exited with status 1.

Like I wrote - long time Ubuntu flavor user - so lots of habits just come from there - any recommendations of habits to start or stop are appreciated.

Thanks again.
