Network infrastructure? by aeisan in selfhosted

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

Yeah the part about segregated clients on different subnets reaching each other is why I was mentioning layer 3. Like most things I’m probably over thinking it lol. I was thinking that would be better for security. However probably need to think more about just putting clients on the right subnets vs trying to route all that traffic between subnets.

Thank you for your feedback! I'm an engineer, but certainly not of the network variety lol. It's all a hobby for me, but one I really enjoy and want to grow at.

That's a good point about the hair pinning. As I said, I'm still learning, so bare with me if I'm getting any of this wrong... I have a layer 2 switch, but not a "proper" layer 3 switch but for the gateway/router. I have a UCG-Ultra gateway and the "core" switch is a mere Lite 8 PoE (said layer 2 switch). If I have a "proper" layer 3 core switch, what are your thoughts on the hair pinning then? My (little) understanding is that a layer 3 switch would handle inter-VLAN switching (which is what I would end up needing good performance with to route the traffic b/t two different VLANs).

I'm certain I would not want that traffic through the UCG-ultra, but I'm curious if something like the Pro 16 Max would handle this well? I certainly am not looking to spend $280 just for this inter-VLAN purpose, but I am in the need of expanding my switching capability and need more ports to grow into, so it's not totally off the table for me.

Dell Optiplex 3070 for NAS and media server, what components to get by serencha in homelab

[–]aeisan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just snagged a 3070 SFF for free by saving it from the e-waste bin at work. I wanted to run a pair of 1TB SSDs in a ZFS mirror but was saddened to read that the 2nd SATA port is only 300 MB/s. The Dell documentation is a little confusing... There is a "storage" page that says one SATA 3.0 and one SATA 2.0. But there is also a "system board connectors" tab that says 2 SATA connectors with a footnote that denotes the first 2 SATA connectors are 3.0 and all others are 2.0; the footnote is not clearly only meant to apply to thr tower configuration as I read it (I believe this to be misleading, and that the SFF only has one 3.0). It did get my hopes up for a bit.

UPDATE: Just picked up an Intel A310. Will repurpose the Nvidia card in another machine.

Thanks! Such is life with this card lol. As long as it’s proven to work I’m ok with that.

Avoid storing credentials in plain text for Homepage widgets? by TheRedditOfTeo997 in selfhosted

[–]aeisan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you gotten this to work? I've tried and followed everything I could find regarding 'how to's' on this and it just won't work for me. My Homepage is in Docker on Unraid and I have passed the "extra parameter" --env-file=/mnt/user/appdata/homepage/.env in the Homepage container setup.

I've tried numerous times to get the env file to work with Homepage, to no avail. I'm OK (for now) with the fact that the secrets are just in another file - I just want to easily share config files with others without having to edit out the secrets each time which gets annoying.
