I'm looking for a box or case for internal hard drives (1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 6TB) when I'm not using them. Which models would you recommend ?

Basic Homelab (Lenovo Thinkserver ts150 Xeon). (geekroom.tech)
 

Hello I am looking into buying the following machine for 150 eur:

Lenovo Thinkserver ts150 \ Intel Xeon e3 1220v6 \ DDR4 16Gb

Do you think it would be a good basic homely for stuff like TrueNas, Proxmox, Docker etc ?

Fastest two bay Synology NAS? (geekroom.tech)
 

I've been using Xpenology on an old PC for years without a day's problem. Super quick and super reliable. Because DSM 6.1 was the latest I could run, it was very outdated so I bought a Synology DS220J without much thought. My God, is the thing a pile of crap. My dead nan responds quicker than this heap of junk.

I know I could build a much faster, cheaper NAS again but I'd like to have something that can just sit there, update itself and work without me having to worry about it for once. So with that in mind, what's the fastest two bay Synology for home use?

Main reason for wanting something more modern is to migrate completely from iCloud. So far the Synology is doing it brilliantly syncing my contacts, calendar, photos and files from my iPhone. So the functionality is there.

Simple SOHO server (geekroom.tech)
 

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a home/SOHO server with very few requirements:

- 16 GB Ram

- RAID-1 (prefer NVME, but SATA is ok)

- CPU that runs Win 11 24H2 (and newer)

Is it possible to find something like that in a mini or SFF? Perhaps HP, Lenovo or Dell?

Out of curiosity, would any of you ever rent a DC-hosted proxmox server to run your own VMs? (geekroom.tech)
 

Electricity usage and cooling in summer would be a reason for I think... Would latency and security be the chief cons?

ESXI passthrough / help me plan my storage array? (geekroom.tech)
 

I'm trying to consolidate down and get everything at home running on a single machine. I know it's not ideal, but I'm going to run ESXI as the hypervisor, and TrueNAS and EVE-NG as VM's. I'm on a Dell P7910 with 2x E5-2699v4's and 128G of RAM. I was going to flash the HBA to IT mode and pass some drives through for TrueNAS, but then I ran into a question... can you pass through individual drives, or does it have to be the whole PCI slot?

I've got an LSI 3008 (aka 9300-8i), with four 3.5" slots and four 2.5" slots. I've also got the Dell NVME PCI card with four slots on it (no drives for it yet). For the place where I'm running into trouble is what to put in those slots...

For the 3.5" slots, I've got either four 4TB WD Red SATA drives or four Exos 4TB SAS drives. I'm assuming the SAS drives would be a better choice? 12Gbps and 7200RPM vs 6Gbps and 5400. For the 2.5" slots, I've got either four 1TB no-name-brand SSD's or four 500MB SAS 6Gbps 7200RPM drives.

I would love if there was a way to pass individual drives through, so I could use the bigger drives in TrueNAS with maybe two of the SSD's for cache, and leave the other two for a datastore on ESXI. My fear is it's an all-or-nothing answer, though?

Server rails question (geekroom.tech)
 

Recently got a R730XD and it has a set of rails included. My rack has the threaded screw holes in it, not the open squares that this rail system uses. Are there rails that would work with this blade server? Or am I better off buying a shelf and setting the server on that instead?

promox vs unraid vs ??? (geekroom.tech)
 

So I had a very old synology 4bay I retired, I was only using it as storage, no apps on it. I bought the Unifi NAS, I have 7x 18TB in RAID-6, connected via 10gbe, to my switch, I also just built a server/desktop , core i7 ultra, 64gb ram, 2TB NVME, 10gbe network card. I installed windows 11 on it for now, I have plex server setup, sonarr, Radarr, I download everything to the computers 2TB drive and then it moves it to the nas. I was thinking of moving to either Proxmox or UnRAID, I don't mind the $250 if need be. I want to run some apps that require linux, so I would need to install WSL/Docker on this windows 11 pc, will plex iGPU transcoding work in either proxmox or unraid?

Enterprise Server Recommendations (geekroom.tech)
 

Hello! I'm an intern sysadmin for my local school district, and things have been pretty fun so far, but recently, I've been wanting to get some more hands on experience with the server hardware. Since I'm only an intern, not only are my opportunities limited to work hours when I'm not busy with other stuff, much to my disappointment the regular IT staff don't really like us interns getting too touchy with the equipment because it's important, expensive, and all that other great stuff. Could anyone recommend some cheap but not irrelevant enterprise level server options I could pick up to try and get more experience so that I could get some more in depth learning? I found a poweredge r610 for about 70 usd, but I'm reading a lot of mixed testimonies about their power draw, outdatedness(?) and some issues with iDRAC, which all make like more of a hassle than it's worth. Thanks in advance!

Hopefully this project will be done soon. Posted a few months ago on r/Ubiquiti - made some changes and got closer to being done. Feels like it's been a never-ending battle with this rack.

Proxmox won't boot when installing in ZFS Mirror (geekroom.tech)
 

I am wanting to upgrade my current homelab. I have my old currnet prod server at home and a supermicro server at my work (Got it from ewaste). I'm having trouble with the proxmox install though.

Currnet main specs are:

  • Dell T430
  • 2x E5-2620 v4
  • Dell Perc H730
  • 2x Dell 400GB Datacenter SSDs running proxmox in ZFS mirror
  • 6x 2TB HDD in Raid Z2 in Truenas (passed through drives)

New Server Specs:

  • SuperMicro SuperServer 7049P-TR
  • 2x Xeon Scalable 2nd Gen Silver 4208
  • X11DPi-N Motherboard
  • AVAGO MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i (July 02, 2018 Firmware version 6.36.00.3)
  • 2x Dell 800GB Datacenter SSDs
  • 6x 2TB HDD left alone as I can't get it working for now

The main issue I'm having is with the proxmox install. On my main server, all drives are in passthrough/IT/HBA mode, whatever you want to call it. I installed proxmox on the 2x 400GB SSDs in ZFS Mirror. Works great and had 0 issues installing it.

On the new server, I made sure to clear all virtual disks and foreign configurations and set every drive to JBOD mode which I am assuming is the same as passthrough/IT/HBA mode. When I try to do the same proxmox install on the 800GB SSDs with a ZFS Mirror, it installs, but will not boot into proxmox. I cannot get it to show in boot menu at all and will immediately goto PXE boot because it cannot find anything. When I install proxmox with just a single drive, it works no issue and boots.

I then installed Windows server afterwards to test to make sure it wasn't broken and I could see the partitions on both drives in the Windows server install menu so I know its properly installing

I do understand that in the documentation it says drives connected to a raid controller is not supported but it worked on my current server, it should work on this new server the same way. I'm not sure if I'm not setting the drives correctly or if I'm doing something wrong with this install. I don't want to do a virtual disk and set the raid through the controller as I want proxmox to setup the ZFS mirror.

Is it a good idea to setup entire graylog architecture on one single machine? (geekroom.tech)
 

So I'm trying to build some practical experience for SIEM. The problem is that I don't have very powerful machine. I have a dell inspiron(8GB RAM and 4 i3 cores). So I can't think of running a VM (because my system could not handle it), and I'm not rich enough to afford cloud instances. So my question is - Is it a good idea to setup entire graylog architecture (that includes graylog, elastic search, sending logs from my local system to SIEM and anything that is major to run graylog) on one single machine? Specifically my machine.
