I usually follow the craft computing video whenever I have to set it up. He has a document in the description with all the things you might need to passthrough a GPU but only like half are needed to passthrough an HBA

Proxmox wiki has a more concise guide IMO

It was really simple to do in Proxmox.

You will find no name brand HBAs in IT mode on eBay for half the price of Intel, Supermicro, Dell, Etc branded ones. Do not buy the no names. I spent a week flashing and reflashing some cheap one, cycling through cables, etc. Nothing.

My supermicro branded one worked absolutely no issue. And I think it was like $40

It probably took a total of 30 minutes to pass it through and build the VM and everything. It took a couple days to rebuild my data from my previous truenas server but I had 10 TB of data on 4 drives.

The only issues I've had have been my own reading comprehension in setting up truenas accounts.

 

I've been looking at moving all my services to my 10 inch mini rack and I found Lenovo Tiny P320 computers with P600 GPUs in them. According to a reddit post from a while back these are 1060 equivalent and should be able to handle multiple 1080p 60fps streams.

My current Jellyfin server is in my Epyc 7302p server with a 4060 which I'm pretty sure is over kill for my use case.

Anyone else ever make a downgrade like this? Did it work out alright? For $100 for a P320 I'm sure I won't regert the purchase but I need to be talked into wasting money.

Are you using truenas as the entire homelab?

I also love messing with stuff until it breaks and I learn something, but I've decided I just want my files to be accessible.

So I actually have truenas virtualized with a passed through HBA so I can run proxmox to host all my breakable VMs while leaving truenas alone.

Its not actually sustainable for the whole planet. Meat farming, particularly beef, is terrible for the environment.

Not to mention the already dubious state of meat production in the US, the country with the highest consumption of meat. I don't think these issues would be solved with everyone on an all meat diet. Obviously they'd worsen.

I'm glad its working for you, but consider the larger implications of 7 billion people going all meat. Or even just the entirety of the US.

As a guy who felt the same way what 20 years ago when I played that game.

Keep it up. World needs to know.

But he did fuck up in the next campaign when he grabbed frostmourne. That was objectively a bad move.

Great read and good points by you.

That's a fair read and I had kinda come to that thought process. He's a friend of Trumps and I guess Musk as well. So he's okay with fascists.

But I do want to point out that in the linked article, he talks about a guy, Franchi, who received support from Communists and presumably the UK while resisting Mussolini but was a monarchist who fell into right wing activities after the war and was charged for plotting a pro monarchy court d'etat.

Much like how I don't condemn small African anti colonial governments for taking Russian assistance. I don't immediately view a struggling Small Pro Capitalist state taking USA assistance as inherently condemn able.

I don't know Milei's full views, but I struggle to have "guy who's rounding up all the racial undesirables and occupying cities with troops" on the same level as "guy who thinks letting companies pay in milk is good". Both are dangerous and bad ideas, but one is much MUCH worse in my opinion.

If I'm missing something, I'm genuinely down to learn more. These are just my concerns with my limited understanding.

That's so funny. Rip those poor idiots HAH!

I mean shit. If everyone is tested clean and the ones who want kids are paired up we're good.

I'm so mad at this anime for being so good it broke my rule

Genuine question for an OOTL guy

Is Milei actually a fascist and why?

I just genuinely haven't kept up with him I knew he was a pretty serious libertarian cut all the government subsidy type, but I didn't think he was a fascist.

 

My rack is finished for now (because I'm out of money).

Last time I posted I had some jank cables going through the rack and now we're using patch panels with color coordinated cables!

But as is tradition, I'm thinking about upgrades and I'm looking at that 1U filler panel. A mini PC with a 5060ti 16gb or maybe a 5070 12gb would be pretty sick to move my AI slop generating into my tiny rack.

I'm also thinking about the PI cluster at the top. Currently that's running a Kubernetes cluster that I'm trying to learn on. They're all PI4 4GB, so I was going to start replacing them with PI5 8/16GB. Would those be better price/performance for mostly coding tasks? Or maybe a discord bot for shitposting.

Thoughts? MiniPC recs? Wanna bully me for using AI? Please do!

 

So I have rebuilt my Production rack with very little in terms of an actual software plan.

I host mostly docker contained services (Forgejo, Ghost Blog, OpenWebUI, Outline) and I was previously hosting each one in their own Ubuntu Server VM on Proxmox thus defeating the purpose.

So I was going to run a VM on each of these Thinkcentres that worked as a Kubernetes Cluster and then ran everything on that. But that also feels silly since these PCs are already Clustered through Proxmox 9.

I was thinking about using LXC but part of the point of the Kubernetes cluster was to learn a new skill that might be useful in my career and I don't know how this will work with Cloudflared Tunnels which is my preferred means of exposing services to the internet.

I'm willing to take a class or follow a whole bunch of "how-to" videos, but I'm a little frazzled on my options. Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Okay Kubernetes people. I am about to build my first cluster with 4 Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb models powered over POE.

I was going to host just some basic stuff on it (forgejo, a couple Ghost Blogs) and try hosting a Mastodon instance.

The documentation mentioned that I should not use the SD cards for database stuff. So I was going to get some super short thumb drives.

What is everyone else's set up look like with raspberry pis? And how important is matching hardware?

I'm sure I'll learn more from reading the documents but this is my concern right now.

(I was also required to upload a photo so have my Latitude D630)

 

Anyone have any recommendations for Blog software?

I was considering for a while just using a mastodon instance as my blog because I just kinda wanna sign in and upload my papers that I've written. I was pretty close with Hugo. I'd rather not have to build the site everytime I upload and I want to self host and not use Github actions. I think I still could do it since I like using Cloudflared tunnels.

What is all out there?

 

I run my production Jellyfin server and a few other services on a Optiplex sff computer with a thicc hard drive and a low profile GPU.

I want to build two more of these with thicc Hard drives so that my parents and my in-laws can have a local Jellyfin instance that I manage remotely and they just need a box plugged in somewhere at their homes.

Is it possible to make Proxmox build a VPN tunnel on boot so I can just have it in my cluster dash. Like using tailscale or openvpn.

Or am I going to have to go with my original plan and put that on the same box as the Jellyfin server and then just VNC in?

Any tips or ideas?

 

So I'm trying to get Jellyfin accessible on the open web through a cloudflared tunnel

I have a default install of Jellyfin running that is still accessible locally.

I'm able to ping TV.myblogdomain.com

And the Cloudflared dashboard says the connection is up.

I have implemented page rules and caching rules to turn CDN off.

I have set the DNS server on the Jellyfin VM to be the Cloudflared DNS server.

It's pointed to https://jellyfin:8096/

And it wasn't working with or without a CIDR in the tunnel configuration.

Should I try uninstalling fail2ban and see if that helps? I thought I configured it right pointing it to the 8096 port but maybe I need to do 80/443?

Any tips or guides would be appreciated.

 

I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I've deleted all my socials.

I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending "delete my data" emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).

Is there more I'm missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?

I really don't mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I'm missing?

 

I've been wearing Xero shoes as my preferred every day shoe and my hiking shoe of choice for a while. I got a few pairs on a steep sale and now my last pair is starting to die.

I don't mind getting more, but I'd like to see what else is out there. I used to wear Altra and I've gotten Hobbart shoes, but those were weird shaped and rubbed on my pinky toes.

Any suggestions for foot shaped shoes? I'd prefer some cushion like Altras and bonus if there's a business casual looking variety

SIEM (startrek.website)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by nagaram@startrek.website to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

I am studying for my Network+ and my Sec+ hoping to shadow our Cyber Sec guy at work.

I want to set up a SIEM on my home network so I can be used to it's operations and how it works by the time I start messing with Pentesting stuff. Then I'm going to use it to try and track myself when I pentest myself.

I was looking into Graylog or Security Onion since they seem to have decent documentation (and I can find videos on how to set them up which is nice).

I was recommended building my own ELK stack and doing everything manually for maximum learning potential. Which I understand why this is a good idea, but I think I'd rather be as close to "baby's first SIEM" as possible or at least have a robust how-to guide.

What do you suggest?

 

Hello comrades! Friendly reminder that American leftists continue to be threatened by gun loving conservatives. You should know how to defend yourself and you should probably own a gun. Find an active SRA, John Brown Gun Club, or (if things are dire) pink pistols or other "apolitical" gun club.

I've been in the SRA for 4 years, it's not great, but I met comrades local to me. I've learned a lot from them and fash who post good firearms advice and I love to share that when I can.

Open for questions and I'll post more getting started stuff if this doesn't get banned.
