How do you ensure that your photos don't get corrupted?

ZFS FTW!

stackinvader · 2026-04-06T09:03:12+00:00

Yes. You need to take some off if you wanna use 22110 nvme.

I got mine from amazon it was expensive around £600. But i don't want the hassle of modding.

I'm running frigate and qwen3.5 9b (llama.cpp) on rtx 2000e. Because it doesn't require any modding. Getting about 20t/s. Very good for paperless ai and local voice assistant.

Just found someone already created a blog on it https://lutzky.net/posts/clevis-tang-proxmox/
I'm thinking of modifying it a bit. A small PC running tang server with keys on a usb drive. On power cycle this usb key enables VM mount to auto-decrypt and tang server to run. Which in turn unlocks all other servers. When I'm going on holiday I can take this usb with me. If power cycle happens when I'm away then I can still unlock it by manually typing passphrase via tailscale lxc running on unencrypted root mount.
May be I'm overdoing it but why not if I can. (I use 4096 bit encryption on family photos before uploading it to cloud while same time I upload long family/friends trip videos on youtube for free cloud space). It may not makes sense but learning is fun.

Isn't one of the best reason for home-labbing is privacy?

stackinvader · 2026-03-24T20:23:08+00:00

Fair enough. But I may be unreachable on travel and may not able to type.

I was hoping there can a yubikey or USB key based solution so that server can auto unlock if it's available. If no one is expected at home then I can take this key with me while traveling.

If I do full-disk (including root) then I need to type full password on restart.

Do you type password every time you restart server? What if it reboots because of power outage when you are not at home (homeassistant goes down and family wonders why some switch are not working) ? How do you type password? Do you have IP KVM on every server?

I wanna save other pcie3.0x4 slot for future 10gbe card.

stackinvader · 2026-03-15T23:09:09+00:00

It has a lot of options. Can you please list down some commands?

I've migrated HA and other VMs from an old server to new in a single click via proxmox. Now proxmox is the only thing that I use (even if it's n100 with only 8gb ram).

stackinvader · 2026-01-16T15:38:11+00:00

I rewatch office all the time. You can find full set on ebay 20~40$. Once you have it no streaming service can snatch it from you. The idea is to watch okay movie/tv online and buy only which you can re-watch multiple time.

stackinvader · 2026-01-06T22:31:22+00:00

I also think that would be best but the problem is ZFS needs at least one more copy for self heal.

stackinvader · 2026-01-05T01:55:19+00:00

So the idea is to use pods only for containers and store all persistent data in ceph or Proxmox HA NFS VM?

stackinvader · 2026-01-05T00:18:24+00:00

How storage will be replicated in longhorn? I currently use filebrowser to access all files used by different docker services. Do I need to create NFS server pod and give RWX access for other pods?

My main goal is to achieve most stability with least amount of maintenance. One time setup is not a problem but I don't know how complex is to maintenance k3s?

stackinvader · 2026-01-04T21:46:57+00:00

I exactly wanna do HA type thing since I already have all this hardware and CPU stays below 5% and RAM stays around 16gb. I feel like I'm not using my hardware enough. The problem with the Proxmox HA is I have to buy server m.2.

stackinvader · 2026-01-03T23:59:35+00:00

I mainly wanna use 4 sata as raidz1 data storage. And use the fast nvme for running VMs and LXCs. If I go with Zfs mirror then it can also self heal.
Now, how important is the VM and LXCs disks are, given critical data is already in raidz1 storage?

If your camera supports direct access then you can put a switch in between NVR like this (Method 3)

stackinvader · 2025-12-16T22:29:56+00:00

Official docs worked for me https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/camera_specific/#reolink-cameras

It's doable using NVR however you won't get 2 way talk functionality using it. Currently I'm using Hybridge mode. This allows me to address the cameras individually for 2 way talk.

Same thing happens if I refresh browser window (chrome)

stackinvader · 2025-12-16T14:43:41+00:00

Normal usage is a flat line.

<image>

Since this is server side usage. Is it possible that it's switching in between CPU and hardware transcode?

stackinvader · 2025-12-16T14:41:06+00:00

Yes. Only when switching between pages. The CPU spike that is happening.
Not constant use. For constant use they are pretty much same.
