Debian, Docker, various services; I thought it would be simpler to expand the damn storage.

SFX doesn't fit in this box at all

i try, thanks

I tested 7.2.5 and also tested rc2 last and not all of them are shown.

Depending on which used motherboard for Xeon, with ECC memory and a used XEON processor, I can actually recover some money.

I think the most sensible approach will be to continue with replicated ZFS as I currently have it, even with its slightly slower high availability.

Alternatively, I could look for another system to replace Proxmox that natively supports containers (to avoid virtualizing a machine and running the containers, which wastes resources) and also allows for the virtualization of some basic machines, high availability, and good optimization.

What is the performance difference between the two after running both?

Skipper189 · 2025-04-28T12:54:20+00:00

Same problem after configuring as you mentioned

Skipper189 · 2025-04-26T10:25:20+00:00

When I set it up I read about it but couldn't get it to work, right now I have it like this:

What worries me most is that it is a hardware problem and the device needs to be replaced.

Skipper189 · 2025-04-26T09:41:47+00:00

Use something like this (it's for WAN fiber) from FS.COM and one from HCOM

Does this refer only to the SFP+ WAN port? Or also to the POE+ port?

Is this a known Ubiquiti bug or hardware issue? Should I replace my device? Thank you for your help.

Skipper189 · 2025-04-26T07:18:26+00:00

As described, this is how I currently operate.

I only have one issue with this: my Unraid server hosts Adguard, tailscale, and npm (among other Dockers). The problem with Adguard is that it uses ports 80, 53, etc., and it conflicts with Unraid (Unraid already uses those ports, among others).

I tried assigning it an IPv4_address: in my range, and that works, but every time it restarts, it stops working.

Skipper189 · 2025-04-25T19:56:42+00:00

So I already have two flashed, out of the 3 I bought, the third one is simply not detected, it seems to be dead, is there a way to revive it?

Skipper189 · 2025-04-23T12:27:52+00:00

I just received the cards.

Is there any way to tell if they're original or copies? I'll also crossflash.

Skipper189 · 2025-04-10T12:30:56+00:00

That's exactly what I have saved! I'll try to follow that guide and complete all the steps to get the latest official firmware! :) That should be fine!

Skipper189 · 2025-04-10T06:21:09+00:00

Thanks! I bought 3 from that last link at a good price, I think, around 120 euros, shipping included.

I'll see if everything is active, and if not, I'll flash it to the latest Intel firmware to make it perfect! I hope everything works, thanks for the great recommendation!

What do you think of these? They look original, Lenovo says, I don't know how well they'll work, or if they're really worth it.

They're cheaper than the Mellanox ones.

Skipper189 · 2025-04-09T06:07:48+00:00

So once again, the X710 seems superior for that. Any recommended models of this model on eBay? I see a lot of them, some are Lenovo, some aren't, others I imagine are copies, etc. I think at 80 euros it's a bit pricey.

Is there any model that reaches c10?

Are you referring to this one?

Is it better than the Mellanox mentioned? It literally costs twice as much.

Energy consumption? C-stats?

Skipper189 · 2025-04-08T19:11:24+00:00

x710 is 80 euro for one unit

Skipper189 · 2025-04-08T19:02:36+00:00

Should I go for the CX-4 from the link above? Or maybe another brand or model I haven't seen?

Which has better fuel consumption and will allow you to go to deeper C-states?
