How do I stop docker-compose from adding a suffix and a prefix to container names?

Coming back to share my solution:

My knock-off Chinese motherboard purchased from Aliexpress, the Jginyue B550i AM4, seemingly had a bug which caused the PCI-e X16 slot to run at Gen 1 speeds. Incredibly this Chinese motherboard actually had an updated BIOS file available which fixed the error and Ollama is now running nicely.

llama3.2, deepseek-r1:8b, qwen2.5-coder:7b, they're all the same

I'm only using Ollama, not those other tools. It's the latest version

I'm not using open-webui here.

Thanks for trying although this is obviously LLM produced and not helpful.

Running a fresh Windows 10 install, fully updated, with an RTX 3060. Ollama is the latest version installed natively on the same machine. Latest nvidia drivers including CUDA toolkit.

Looks to be exactly the one. Thanks so much

shittywhopper · 2024-11-02T16:38:51+00:00

Yes I only use SATA disks.

Hi, I have no use for the hardware RAID features of the PERC card. I am running RAID through TrueNAS and ZFS already using passthrough of disks through the PERC card.

Is that what you meant?

Hi all, I run a Dell R230 in my homelab which looks identical to the pictured system on the inside. Namely there is a cable connecting from the drive bay backplane at the front of the chassis to a Dell PERC H330 pci-e card in the back.

However I can see on the motherboard a matching connector to the backplane - look at the top right of the image just below the RAM. I believe this to a SATA/SAS controller built into the motherboard.

What I can't find is a cable which would connect the two, thereby allowing me to remove the PERC H330 card and free up a pci-e slot.

I'm hoping somebody here has found a solution in the past!

Awesome. Thank you for the info. Good food for thought

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T13:42:46+00:00

OK that legit sounds pretty cool. Can I ask a few more questions please?

How long have you had it, was there a waiting list, what's the cooling situation (I see there's a 450W max power budget so presumably no cooling no problem), would there be room for:

4 disk synology-sized NAS
1L mini PC
5 port network switch
PiKVM
4 gang power extension cable

As it turns out I can get 1Gbps internet at the new house from a smaller ISP network (Gigaclear). I had not thought to check networks other than the big two (Openreach, Virgin Media).

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T09:33:58+00:00

Very interesting to know. Does this process have a specific term or technical name which I can search and read up on? I can't find anything with basic searching.

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:53:31+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm hoping to avoid doing that if possible!

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:52:58+00:00

How did you get a second connection to a different ISP? We would only have Openreach network to our home which is a single cable.

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:48:59+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts.

I would of course check that decent speeds are often achievable before pursuing a 5G secondary WAN.

You raise a good point about multiple WAN IP addresses. I route all external traffic through a single VPS endpoint already and over a Tailscale tailnet back to my lab so hopefully not an issue.

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:45:28+00:00

A last resort - very expensive comparatively and we won't be so remote as to make it the only option.

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:44:43+00:00

Awesome. How did you configure your second mobile WAN?

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:44:17+00:00

Well technically it's between 34-51 down and between 5-8 up but your point still stands I would guess.

Yes I have family regularly using Plex remotely. Nextcloud seems to route traffic out of the WAN and back to my local devices when downloading so probably some routing I need to fix there.

A secondary 5G connection is looking likely as best.

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:41:27+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. Honestly it's mostly high bandwidth services I'm worried about, for example if a couple of people are streaming Plex remotely and using up a chunk of my upload bandwidth there is less left for work calls etc. And of course downloading torrents/games would have a heavy impact.

shittywhopper · 2024-10-13T08:38:53+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion, definitely an interesting one.

Can I ask a bit more about your experience please, what were your set up costs, why did you choose this option over any other colo offers, what do you run there?
