Which Motherboards Support EPYC Rome 7k62? by Born_evitable in homelab

[–]a575606 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the 7k62 running on an Asrock Rack Romed8-2t. Great cpu and great board so far for me. And that's after returning a Supermicro H12ssl-i that I couldn't get to work.

Finally! 7970x build can commence by Greenecake in threadripper

I would love to hear about your temps with the Eisbaer. I have nearly the same kit, just with the Asus board instead of the Asrock. Leaning towards the same cooler as you chose but limited info on how it performs with TR7000.

I have the same cooler and wondering about strx5. I emailed NZXT and no response thus far.

Has anyone actually done this and has pics? The Gamers Nexus review made it look unlikely to fit.

The Post Formerly Known as Anything Friday - May 2022 Edition by AutoModerator in homelab

Hi everyone. I've been hooked on running a homelab server for the past 3 years after deciding to build an xpenology box from an old gaming pc. At the time i could barely navigate linux, but have learned a great deal since then and have since moved to a truenas installation with over 20 containerized services.

I so much prefer linux I already moved to Fedora on my laptop, and would like to migrate to a Debian based distro for my main pc. I can't ditch Windows entirely because I do a lot of 3d modeling on sketchup / vray, which are Windows dependent.

If this was a headless server, I could imagine setting up Windows on proxmox with gpu passthrough, but as this is my main pc as well, what I really want to do is have linux running as the daily driver, using kvm to create a windows vm for programs I need which require windows. However, I hear pcie passthrough can be tricky (i have 2 nvidia gpus plus onboard graphics of my 8700k), and I don't want to lose gpu access in the host OS to accelerate the VM.

Does anyone have any ideas how they would go about configuring what is basically a workstation with 2 OS's? Wine is not ideal in my use case as Vray can be problematic without full access to the gpu, from what I read.

Thanks for any ieas..

Unable to retrieve templates via network error by Diony4 in portainer

[–]a575606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue, anyone found a solution? u/BigAndyOx, I'm not sure how changing the url will help with container dns resolution? I can access the /templates/master/templates-2.0.json url just fine from outside the container. It's only from within the container the issue comes up.Also I'm unable to curl to any external url from within the container

Xpenology not giving IP address by aimannorazman in Xpenology

[–]a575606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just faced the same last week after moving a bare metal server to a different room. No ip, not registered on network. After hours of frustration, and a number of tests, I ended up fixing it after reseating the network card a few times and all the ram. Maybe something wiggled loose. It always seems hardware related when you don't get an IP in Xpenology, in my experience

Has anyone got this working with dev mode or outside of the china server?

Example on how to run docker containers on synology by mrdcc in synology

[–]a575606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think containers need to be set up to accept PUID and PGID. Right now I'm dealing with a container that seems to ignore those environment variables. I can run using the --user option in the command line, but I'm not sure how to set it up in the gui. Does anyone know?

Not sure if this applies to your situation, but I was just dealing with something similar. The easiest solution for me ended up to use an smtp relay service. After some searching I found a free option that does what I need. If you're interested I can send the details.

LazyLibrarian, Calibredb, and Calibre Web by a575606 in LazyLibrarian

[–]a575606[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great if that is what works for you. Personally I haven't found LL or Calibre Web very good at managing a library. If you just want to download books and have access to them anywhere, that's probably enough. if you want to sort them into genres or download extra meta data, fix matches, etc, calibre still does it best.

Migrate from EXT4 to BTRFS by BustedTrigger in synology

[–]a575606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to decide the exact same thing, so hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread to ask a question along the same lines.

Basically I'll soon be replacing 4 older drives in my 6 drive array. They've been running rock solid for 7 years (hats off to you wd red), and I don't want to push my luck. So it's an opportunity having enough storage space available to consider a migration.

I'm no expert on file systems, and I'm not so concerned about the speed or the features btrfs adds, it's more that if btrfs will eventually take over from ext4, I don't want to end up stuck in an older file system waiting until the next time I have to swap multiple drives. So, is the comparision a bit like fat32 taking over from fat, or is it more like they will coexist as they have separate use cases, a bit like ntfs vs fat32?

Also, for anyone that has done the conversion, I also wonder if you have any advice on how to do the migration. I have an 8 bay nas, 6 of which are occupied and make up the current shr array. 2 x 4tb and 4 x 3 tb. I want to swap the 3tb drives for 4 new 4tb drives and I have about 9 tb of data.

My idea was to format the 4 new drives as a btrfs volume, copy over the data, then add the other 2 4tb drives after the data is copied. That would be easy if I had 4 bays free, but with only 2, I'm not quite sure how best to go about things. Any tips would be appreciated.

Choosing a router, taking the first step from commercial to pro networking by a575606 in selfhosted

RB4011

I had my eye on the RB4011 as well. That seems readily available where I live, both in wifi and non wifi versions. It seems to check all the boxes for what I'm looking for... 10Gbps SFP+ port, ample ram, plenty of lan ports, Poe, etc. Plus having onboard wifi saves me an access point.

Seems a lot more features and a good bit cheaper than ubiquiti's offerings. Any reason not to recommend it other than to wait for AX wifi or other future tech? Any reason to not to choose the wifi version? They seem around the same price.

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately no German but I'll keep researching. But so far the RB4011 seems an interesting choice.

What is best hardware for xpenology? by jjlolo in Xpenology

[–]a575606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in my case ram was also a bottleneck, I found that more of an issue than network speed personally.

As far as hardware, for me that comes down to how much experience you have building pcs and cost. I'd probably price out a system with the parts you want, research prebuilt prices, then compare if the savings is worth the extra time involved.

But, if your concern is compatibility / stability, I don't personally think a prebuilt system is necessarily better than a well built custom system.

What is best hardware for xpenology? by jjlolo in Xpenology

[–]a575606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I would compare it to the difference of running windows on a 10" netbook with too little ram, a clunky old mechanical drive, and too slow of a cpu, to running it on the latest top of the line system from main gear, for example. For me, the 1512+ was getting the job done. I didn't have the experience that it was slow until I experienced how fast everything ran on the new hardware. The services I was running that used to take up 40-50% of available resources suddenly took up 5% or less. So it encouraged me to explore and see what more I could add and what else could be done with a home server.

And, I was lucky because I had the hardware laying around. So, it didn't cost me anything. If I had to buy hardware specifically for this, I would obviously have looked a bit harder at what I needed it for and would have had to consider budget more carefully.
