What the title suggests. I mean, I've already looked for some server simulation games but haven't found any first-person ones. Well done, something like "viscera cleanup detail"—I'm not talking about anything like Cisco or a network simulator—could be an interesting project to create a game like that.

Dear homelab community!

I have been running two Raspberry Pis (3 B+) for years now. One hosts Zigbee2MQTT and the other one Homebridge. I have dozens of home automation devices (lights, plugs, blinds, thermometers) in my house.

Yesterday I added another Raspberry Pi (also 3 B+) which hosts Adguard Home. I’ve bought a nice little “mini rack” that can house up to four Raspberry Pis and moved the whole thing to the room in the basement where the cable modem, router and switch are. My wife started calling that room the “server room” - That made me happier than would actually be appropriate…

Some time ago, I realized that you don't need a separate computer for every service. Nevertheless, I have ordered a fourth Raspberry Pi (4 with 8 GB RAM) for the next expansion - paperless-ngx and Wireguard (my router is an ER605). I couldn't install paperless-ngx on the first two Raspberrys because they both only have 32bit Linux. The Raspberry with Adguard has an SD card that is too small. I also wanted a little more computing power for paperless-ngx.

Now comes my question: Should I simply continue to operate four Raspberrys, or would you migrate the existing services (Zigbee2MQTT, Homebridge, Adguard) to the new Raspberry? If you were to set it up from scratch, you would probably only use one Raspberry. But I'm worried that I'll mess up my smarthome configuration and it will all be a huge effort.

Alternatively, I could just install Adguard Home on the new Raspberry 4 in addition to paperless-ngx, which would at least save me one device.

Of course, I am aware that there is no “real” need to reduce the number of Raspberries. I don't mind the little bit of electricity costs. But somehow it's also a question of honor to do the whole thing according to best practice.

What would you recommend?

Good morning everyone. What would you say is now the best GPU for 2 people gaming in it under 1000€. 7900 xtx because you can use 12gb vram per user or a 9070xt because it's newer? Other options? Doesn't need to be a new card. Keyword gpu paravirtualization

Hey,

I have recently bought 3 NUCs with i7-8650U and 64GB RAM each. The plan was to create a Proxmox Ceph Cluster for them and then inside create k8s cluster. What about the backup? Should I get another NUC maybe i3 for proxmox backup server? Is it compatible with Ceph cluster? Maybe you have other suggestions what would be the best setup here? Open to discussions before I start implementing :D

So I'm a noob at this and I've set up proxmox backup server as a VM. Would it be best to backup to an SSD on my machine or to a Nas?

In building my first Plex server, I thought I'd turn it into one big experiment machine, combining a media server with learning how to host a game server and, of course, for use as a homelab! The last two use cases are me getting ahead of myself, but I figured I'd might as well spec it out to cover everything rather than have to upgrade.

Is this as simple as keeping base Windows for production (i.e., gaming/Plex server) and then just slapping a hypervisor in there to use virtual machines for the homelab/testing side of things?

As far as hardware, this is what I have for the current Plex build:

• C.P.U.: Intel Core i5-12400 (this appears more than sufficient for myself locally + 3-4 remote Plex users, but what about for 4-6 folks on a dedicated game server? Will beefier games require a better C.P.U. or would that only be for multiple game servers and dozens of people?)

• G.P.U.: integrated

• R.A.M.: 16 GB DDR4 (I assume I'd want to step this up to 32-64 GB minimum for virtual machine allocation, yeah?)

• Motherboard: whatever I can slap the i5-12400 into with two m.2 slots, 6+ S.A.T.A. ports, and Intel 2.5 GB LAN

• P.S.U.: 500 W+, 80+ Gold, fully/semi-modular

• Tower: probably the Fractal Meshify 2 (or XL)?

• S.S.D.: Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB (boot drive), Team Group MP33 256 GB (Plex temporary files)

• H.D.D.: Western Digital Red Plus 12 TB (x2 or x4, to start; I've heard 14 TB+ are louder)

• O.S.: Windows (I'll use the homelab to learn Linux), but I'm honestly lost here. Windows 10 is obviously no longer sold, but Microsoft kept the v22H2 .iso up on their website? Which seems great, but I'd need at least Pro to access Active Directory and such. I learned about LTSC versions, but those apparently require an Enterprise license that doesn't look like it can be bought solo for personal use. I assumed Windows Server would be an even better platform to learn on (given that I use it daily at work), but the licensing for that is also not for solo/personal use. Running a trial version on my production server also doesn't seem like a good idea, so what the heck do I do?

Any other considerations or does this look like a solid starting place?

Where I live the voltage fluctuates from 140V to 240V. It’s at the very end of the power line distribution, and it will take awhile for the energy supply company to fix the power line. 

The only equipments I want to protect, mainly from the under-voltage, are a Mac Studio and a Mac Studio Display, so I don’t need much output VA.

Been looking for a line interactive UPS, but the ones I find work only in the input range 160V - 290V. For instance,

• https://greencell.global/en/uninterruptible-power-supplies/1086-green-cell-uninterruptible-power-supply-ups-800va-480w-with-lcd-display-eu-version-2x-schuko-sockets.html

Is there any interactive line UPS that covers all the way to 140V input?

If not, want to make sure that a fully online UPS will do, in particular, if I'm interpreting the specs correctly. For instance, looking at the specs of this one I see that at 40% usage, it seems to cover the range 100V - 300V:

Hi, I have this access point that I wanna use. It supports PoE and PoE+, but it operates in reduced power with regular PoE. I would just use this is in a medium sized flat with like 4 devices. Should I buy a PoE or a more expensive PoE+ switch? It also supports a regular wall adapter. Maybe do you know something like that? Thank you.

Hello! I have two ubiquity USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE switches and a 10G Single-Mode Optical Module (UACC-OM-SM-10G-D-2). I have an electrician running fiber between the switches. He said he was running "6 Strand Indoor Plenum Rated Single mode Custom Pre-Terminated Fiber Optic Cable Assembly with Corning® Glass"

Is there anything else I need to buy or know entering into the world of fiber? Thanks!

So I have a GS728TP and recently it's been behaving oddly. Sometimes when I make some changes to settings via the admin page, sometimes it will lock me out when trying to complete, I'll no longer be able to get into the admin page, but the switch is still functioning, the network is still running.

So what I've had to do a few times is a factory reset and start over and upload my saved config file with the switch disconnected and me going in via the default IP address.

I had to do this again yesterday, but although everything is running, whilst connected to my network (DHCP sever on the router) I cannot get into the management page, I can only do so my disconnecting the switch from the router, restart the switch and using the default IP address.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I’ve always been interested in DIY servers but felt intimidated by Linux commands and complex setups. Seeing many recommend Mini PCs as easy-to-use, I decided to try the DreamQuest Pro Plus N100 (32GB+2TB).
Setup was simpler than expected—Windows was pre-installed, and it booted in under 10 seconds, just like a new laptop.
I tested OpenWRT for a soft router and TrueNAS for a NAS—both ran smoothly. The fan is barely audible, and power consumption is just 6-8W, making 24/7 operation cost-effective.
This Mini PC is beginner-friendly, powerful for daily tasks, and energy-efficient—great for first-time users.

Morning All!

When I created my Proxmox server and containers, i created an Arr Stack with Portainer and Docker in one of my LXC Containers. Everything works well and i've no issues.

I want to add Traefic to the Proxmox stack and get that up and running so that I have SSL certificates on all my hosts.

I've been looking at VSCode as a way of easily doing this, but the thing is when I created the Arr Stack folders, I did this as Root and in the Root Directory and not the home directory.

I've been able to SSH via VS Code into the Docker Folder and the Docker Compose folder as a different admin user that I have created but I can't modify or add any files /folders in those folders.

Any pointers please?
