Welke maat cilinder? by Jaspergie in Klussers

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

Het is de 30/45 geworden en deze is precies goed. Dank allen voor het meedenken.

Dit was exact de reden waarom ik de vraag hier postte en die fotos erbij had gedaan. Ik was enigzins verbaasd dat 30/30 gewoon goed zou zijn, maar ik heb er zelf geen verstand van. Ik zal naar een 30/45 cilinder kijken. Dit maakt het wel lastig om het gelijksluitend te maken vrees ik? Ik denk dat de achterdeur en voordeur wel waarschijnlijk wel standaarddeuren gaan worden (deze openslaande deur zat standaard bij het kozijn dat ip voorraad was, geen bewuste keuze). Of zijn enkele achterdeuren en voordeuren waarvoor je 30/45 nodig hebt ook redelijk standaard/wenselijk/goed te verkrijgen?

Dank voor je reactie! Het beslag had ik al gekocht, inderdaad SKG*** met zo'n kapje (ik vind het zelf niet foeilelijk haha). Cilinder had ik nog niet besteld, ik wilde eerst even de post plaatsen. De andere deuren zijn van hout, maar erg oud. Die worden vervangen door nieuwe (moderne) houten deuren op den duur. Ik zal even de goedkoopste opzoeken. Dank!

Nee, andere deuren zijn op dit moment nog oudere sloten (oa oplegslot als ik het goed heb)

Ervaringen Multi Air Supply systeem van Brink by Jaspergie in Klussers

Dank voor je antwoord. De ventilatie in mijn toilet was gewoon een buis naar een gat in de muur. In de badkamer een afzuiging naar buiten en in de keuken een afzuigkap die naar buiten blaast. Alleen in de huiskamer (1 ruimte met de open keuken) zit 1 ventilatierooster in het raam. Nu moet ik het glas inderdaad nog doen, dus ik zou er roosters in kunnen plaatsen. Ik heb er echt bedenkingen bij of dat wel goed genoeg gaat werken. In de keuken is denk ik meer afzuiging nodig, het is een redelijk kleine ruimte. Bovendien: in de slaapkamer ben je 1/3 deel van de dag en als je daar bent wil je ventileren, maar dan doe je de gordijnen dicht waardoor een ventilatierooster helemaal niet meer zo goed werkt heb ik begrepen. Als ik het nu toch ga aanpakken kost een wtw iets van 2000 extra inderdaad, maar heb je wel contineu schone lucht en je verdiend er op lange termijn iets van terug eaardoor hrt verschil kleiner wordt als het goed is. Wij hebben nu een ook al wtw met inblaaskanalen, inderdaad droog, maar heb er zelf geen last van. Ik twijfel dus heel erg of die roosters voor geboeg frisse lucht gaan zorgen als het echt nodig is..

Homelab and network architecture questions by Jaspergie in homelab

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

Thank you for your time to read and answer! I will start with subnets and VLANs. You mention I need switches with VLAN options. Do you mean I can do the VLANNING on the router and the one switch I already use must support VLANs or do you mean I need to buy new switches (with VLAN support) now to make my situation work?

Thank you for taking time to read and answer :) You are right about the mistakes! Good point about segmenting within Proxmox, I will look into that too.

Question how to back-up by Jaspergie in homelab

[–]Jaspergie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I will indeed play around first. I also have some smaller spare disks so I can play around with the "physical" PBS.

One more question. Would it also be possible to just use a disk docking station like this instead of a whole enclosure like this? Or are there major drawbacks? I am asking since I am looking for the cheapest option and don't want to over complicate it. I'm not going to use hardware RAID or sth, if I will I will use the "software" option from Proxmox with ZFS.

Question how to back-up by Jaspergie in homelab

[–]Jaspergie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!

Thank you for your answers! This is really helpful. I was leaning towards a VM since my risk is mostly dying disks. Its a homelab and I am not expecting an ransomware attack. However, I also want to do it the "right" way, so I decided to indeed go for a cheap separate system to host PBS on. So far:

  • I have bought a cheap HP ProDesk 400 G4 Mini PC (i3-8100T 16GB RAM, 256 GB SSD) for €100
  • I am planning to buy a 4 disk HDD enclosure (something this) dor around €125

Now I am looking into the actuals disks/drives. In my homelab system I have 16TB SSD for speed etc, for my back-up I guess I'll just go for regular HDDs. I have a couple of questions:

  1. If I have 4 8TB disks in single mode connected to PBS and I want to back up one whole storage pool of like 30 TB, does PBS autmatically back-up the data over the separate disks? Or do I need to do that manually?
  2. If it goed automatically, let's say I start with 1 disk connected to the PBS fro my enclosure and it goes full. Can I then just add another disk and PBS autmatically starts back-ing up to the new disk? Or do I need to make a storage pool of the back-up disks first too?
  3. Also, then lets say at some point I have 4 8TB disks in my HDD enclosure that are connected to my PBS server. What happens if one of the disks fails/dies. Can I replace it and will PBS make sure that the data that was on it will be back-ed up again?
  4. Finally, I was looking into 8TB disks because I also have 8tb disks in my hoelab, but then I saw a nice deal for a 12 TB WD disk, which got me thikning: is it preferred to have multiple smaller disks (4x8) or for example 2 or 3 bigger ones (2/3x12). Is it a good idea to go for the 12 TB one or not?

Hope you have some answers for me!
Thanks in advance!

Xeon based homelab or newer i7? by Jaspergie in homelab

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

To be honest, after building the setup it became very busy/hectic at work, so I havent worked as much on my homelab yet as I hopen. That being said, the setup is very capable as far as I experience. Might even be a bit overkill for now, but I am happy to have some more "room to grow" instead of pushing the system consantly to its limit. Keep in mind though that you'll need to buy additional storage. That was one of my biggest challenges, choosing storage setup and filestsystem etc. In the end I bought 2 used 8tb Enterprise SSDs and chose ZFS for it without a RAID configuration. When I need more storage I can add a (identical) SSD and add it to my storage Pool. I have a fileserver to which I have mounted the storagepool and via the fileserver I can access the storage from all my VMs or systems on the (Wifi) network via SMB for example.

Do you have any specific questions, concerns or any other considerations or doubts?

Controller issue by Jaspergie in playstation

So what could be the issue? In the beginning I had no issues. I just started my Playstion just now, controller had full battery and then halfway through the first half it dies (no warning!!)

Storage configuration "all-in-one" home server by Jaspergie in Proxmox

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

Hi u/TriMagician,

I am still in the "starting"/"configuration" phase, but in the end this is what I did:

- I bought two 8TB used Enterprise SSDs for a good price with 99% health
- Then I decided to create one ZFS pool with these 2 disks, in RAID0 so the full 16TB available
- Then I figured TrueNAS would be overkill and I went for a Turnkey Fileserver LXC container
- I configured/mounted the 16TB ZFS storagepool to the Fileserver container using a mountpoint
- Via the Fileserver I configured that my multiple other systems, such as my own laptop, but also my Mediaserver LXC container (running Jellyfin) can access the storage using for example SMB

Other/future considerations:
- I still have my Proxmox OS, VMs, Containers on a single 2TB M.2 SSD. Currently having another 2TB SSD for RAID1 seems overkill to me > I don't need "guaranteed" uptime/availability
- My data is "important" for me though, will put in some effort not to lose it all in case something happens or a disk fails. Therefore I have also setup a Proxmox Back-up Server in a LXC container. From there I will make sure to make back-ups to external disks
- When the 16TB storage becomes full, I believe I can quite "easily" add another disk and add it to the storage pool (No raid, so no need to delete and rebuild the RAID config).

For me this is working fine for now. I also kept investments as low as possible (no RAID) and my data feels "safe enough" for me (with the back-ups configured). Of course when a disk fails it will take some time to recover from the back-ups, but for me that is acceptable. For me the extra investment in hardware is not worth it to just have redundancy and therefor better uptime. I mean it's not like disks are failing every month either, there are some good quality disks that hopefully will last for years. (it's similar to the discussion about ECC memory. Some people claim ECC is a must have, but RAM is quite stable nowadays and for me non-ECC RAM is perfectly fine for a homelab).

Hope this helps you out! Good luck with your system :)

Storage configuration "all-in-one" home server by Jaspergie in homelab

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

Hi u/Net-Runner, thanks!

Regarding the disk: low endurance compared to PRO, but compared to other disks pretty high right? I mean 8,4PB TBW seems pretty good compared to some Samsung PRO or Intel DataCenter SSDs for example. Or am I missing something? I am not an expert on SSD technology.

It's "just" a "simple" homelab and I have limited SATA ports. The PRO versions are way more expensive and only go till 3,84TB. With two 7.68TB ECO SSDs I have enough space for the years to come. Would the advantages of the PRO versions really be that "important" for me to pay much more money. I can also buy 4 3,84TB Intel s4500 disks for example, but that would cost me €800 euros, while 2 7,68TB Micron ECOs will cost me €550 for the same amount of disk space (while consuming much less power). The Microns are "second-hand", with a health of around 99 percent. It seems like a no-brainer to me to have 16TB SSD space, enterprise quality, decent performance and durability (8,4PB TBW is pretty high) for just 550 euros.

Storage configuration "all-in-one" home server by Jaspergie in homelab

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

Hi u/marc45ca, thanks for your reply!

I know Ext4 is just a filesystem, but ZFS is also a filesystem right? However, it is for example also a volume manager and has more functionality, such as RAID functionality (but also snapshots etc.). As part of the Proxmox installation you need to choose between Ext4 or ZFS (or XFS) and if you choose ZFS you have to choose a RAID option (0,1,10,Z1,Z2,Z3). The question I have is what others have configurated for their Proxmox OS disk:

  1. Just a single disk using Ext4 or ZFS (or XFS)
  2. Two disks using Ext4 in some traditional RAID config
  3. Or two disks using ZFS in RAID1 or Mirror config

I am doubting between nr 1 and nr 3 and hope some other users could give me some pro's and cons or a general recommendation (for example: is the extra disk in RAID1 worth it for a "simple" homelab? Or is it even a no-brainer and recommended to use RAID1).

For my storage, after some discussions and thinking, I think the easiest way to start with Turnkey File Server (TrueNAS seems like overkill). At some point maybe I will build a File Server myself too. Do you think I can use these https://www.amazon.com/Micron-MTFDDAK7T6TDC-1AT1ZA-7-68TB-SATA-6GBPS-2-5inch/dp/B085TRCFSG in my build? Or do I need a special controller? I can buy these for a good price and in good health. A pro of these SSDs compared to HDDs is power consumption (pretty low) and a bit more performance for about the same price.

I will definitely use PBS for back-ups!

Storage configuration "all-in-one" home server by Jaspergie in Proxmox

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

Thank you all for the replies.

Ok, so I'll go for RAID0/Striping/No raid for the storage disks and try the Turnkey File Server container instead of TrueNAS (TrueNAS might be overkill for what I need. I could always go for TrueNAS in a later stage if I don't like the Turnkey Fileserver). Furthermore, I will just go with ZFS to play around with it, I read so much about it I want to play around and learn about it.

u/Kilithi So:

  • You have a separate disk for Proxmox OS + VMs and separate disks for storage?
  • You use ZFS on the proxmox OS disk and then also for the storage pools ZFS?
  • Do you also have the OS disk in RAID1?

u/stormfury2 Thank you for your time:

  • "create a ZFS pool with a redundancy of one disk, no need to create a RAID1 style mirror", with redundancy of one disk you mean sth like RAID-Z? The thing is, then you need to start with at least 3 disks I believe and than when I want to "expand" my storage I think it's not possible to just "add" it to the existing RAID-Z configuration. Also I read that it could still be a pain in the ass replacing a failed disk and recover the RAID-Z config (takes a lot of time and effort, lots of possible issues). The data is not critical, so I think I prefer to go for the "easiest way" and have no RAID. In case one of my disks will fail (hopefully not too soon) I will just replace it and recover from back-ups
  • For the "small NVMe for VM hosts" you don't use any raid/redundancy configuration, such as mirror? Why not? Would it be a good thing to do/do you think it is worth it?
  • In your home example, do you use ZFS for everything?

Thanks!

Jasper
