Selfhosted

Adding a second vdev today to my primary pool running on Scale. New vdev will be 12TB by 4 wide, with existing at 10TB by 5 wide. Drives are all 7,200 RPM enterprise grade, CRM drives.

May also add a second pool with the drives from my previous build which would be 10TB by 4 wide. These drives are 5,400 RPM so I would not use them in my primary pool.

Also, Noctua sent me a bracket (at no charge) so I can correct the orientation of the CPU fan to be facing front to back (currently left to right). I also have a couple 80mm fans and a 120mm fan to add to the server case. Once all of that is in place I hope to start running Ldarr against my libraries without CPU temps hitting 95°C.

This year has been my first foray into self hosting in general. I have been doing a lot of learning and have a long way to go but have got to the point where I have proxmox running with a few VMs running an arr stack, a jellyfin server and a Plex server.

I'm just super happy to get everything running and now need to fine tune stuff. Currently trying to figure out why the Plex server is down half the time externally.

I'm having a lot of fun!

I don’t have a technical issue at the moment.. financial one 🤣

I store my data on an OLD my book Live 3TB HDD. Runs fine but it’s getting full now, and the day it decides to shut down I don’t have any backups.

So I want to buy at least a 2 bays RAID1 array.

I’ll plug it on my server directly, and that would become my NAS.

Maybe two 6TB drives, so I’ll double my existing storage?

Had Jellyseer break on me again on Truenas scale, something about a jellyfin API blah blah blah. Decided that Sonarr and Radarr are fine enough to interface with that I don't need it and deleted the image.

My big problem is remote stuff. None of my users have aftermarket routers to easily manipulate their DNS. One has an android modem thing which is hot garbage. I'm using a combination of making their pi be their DHCP and one user is running on avahi.

Chrome, the people's browser of choice, really, really hates http so I'm putting them on my garbage ######.xyz domain. I had plans to one day deal with Https, just not this day. Locally I just use the domain for vaultwarden so the domain didn't matter. But if people are going to be using it then I'll have to get a more memorable one.

System updates have been a faff. I'm 'ssh'ing over tailscale. When tailscale updates it kicks me out, naturally. Which interrupts the session, naturally. Which stops the update, naturally. Also, it fucks up dkpg beyond what --configure -a can repair. I'll learn to update in background one day, or include tailscale in the unattended-upgrades. Honestly, I should put everything into unattended-upgrades.

Locally works as intended though, so that's nice. Everything also works for my fiancee and I remotely all as intended, which is also nice. My big project is coalescing what I've got into something rational. I'm on the make it good part of the "make it work > make it good" cycle.

I try to install docker (only docker) on the extern hdd.... I have some tutorials, but I do not get
