Yeah I love it. Also if you are stuck with outlook. Use Caldav synchronizer it is a add-on you can use with outlook to sync calendars with nextcloud.

What I use is Borg. I use Borg to backup the server to a local NAS. Then I have a NAS at my grand parents house which I use to store the backups of the NAS it self.

Raid is not only for if a drive fails. But can also be used against slow corruption of files. If you love your data use raid.

Any storage shut be raid or a form their of in a ideal world. The storage where backups are stored a defiantly yes raid shut be a very high priority.

Personally I prefer Rocky linux. Default to using SElinux which I also like. not a big fan of debian though as things are quite old and sometimes outdated for my needs.

Ports below 1024 are by default reserved for root. So unless you use sudo or change this you wont be able to use port 80 and 53 without root

Take a look at the following topic. It is not just relevant for TrueNAS but ZFS in generel. https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/whats-all-the-noise-about-hbas-and-why-cant-i-use-a-raid-controller.81931/

Be aware! The dell R730 most likely comes with a raid controller which is not suited for ZFS. You need a true HBA instead. Some raid controllers do let you set them up in JBOD mode but it still is not suited for ZFS as you need a proper HBA and or a raid controller where you can flash the firmware to IT mode.

For ZFS storage and many apps and more Truenas scale might be interesting to you.

I am also searching for a good way to watch F1.

For the sharing part take a look at I2P

About 500W. 1 self build server 1 Dell R510 and one dell R710. This also includes a bit of network gear like a 48 port switch.

I like a song from a artist so I download the entire catalog. Lossless where I can

it is improving a load. Also you can ask on the wishlist of postman. Many folks are happy to reseed it for you or make it available on I2P.

Working on it 😉

I in fact run a AD domain controller *and *a rhel IDM controller. For me other then it is fun to play with, makes it a load more simple to manage the user accounts of my famalie. Also auto mounting network shares and setting a few policys for updates and security is great to from a central location. having SSO for many if my services also makes it more easy to use for the fam. The rhel IDM controller I use to manage a few user accounts. I also use it to manage the ssh keys and set sudo rules on all my servers.

From my understanding is that Proxmox is one of the more easy platforms to learn. I must say iI never used it personally.

Look up I2P

Google massgravel

Alright thank you! good to hear

My man, You need a NAS. I can highly recommend TrueNAS scale if you want to go the self building route.

I agree that the web UI looks a bit outdated. But it is more then functional and imo not that complicated. Personally I use the container version with podman so idk about the windows version.

Personally i get the highest quality i can. Often 4K REMUX . If a device is not capable of showing 4K i just transcode the stream at the server.

Fail2ban might not be a good thing. You can flood the blacklist.

You just have to run a continous attack with spoofed source addresses. use IPv6 addresses and just wait until the whole ipv6 space is in the blacklist. by then that file will be huge. might even crash some servers

https://geti2p.net

Fully anonymouse and FREE P2P network great for torrenting and somewhat encouraged even.

More people to get in to I2P.

Unifi is simple to use but you can hit its limitation. A other brand I can highly recomend is Mikrotik. They have some small and cheap devices to some fairly high end gear 100gb gear. No licensing cost or anything.

Look up I2P

A few actually.

Rocky Linux 9, XCP-NG, Windows server 2022 datacenter

Different usecasses.

Letting users in too your entire device and potently your LAN is worse then giving access to a single service.

Its not that it wont “work” but it is anything but secure your better of port forwarding and open it straight to the internet.

Hamachi is the worst. better setup a proper VPN

i send you a DM. Not sure if I am allowed to say it in the sub

How is quality compared to tidal? Been ripping lossles flacs from it for a while now.

Spytify but it is for windows only. You can use a vm for it. You got to have a premium acc to acces higher quality though.

Personally i rip straight from tidal. Been thinking of making a few tb available on I2P soon.

Actually you can block vpns using port 443 and 80. Using a methode callesd deep packet inspection. Not something you find in a typical coffie shop. But it being practically unblockable is false. My school used to do this. So i used shadowsocks or tor with snowflake.

I am already using this for publick services i have things jellyfin.publick.com domains. Which works fine for that usecase. What I am looking for here is to make SSL work properly for services that are part of the 2 local domains. where the 2 controllers are authoritative of those 2 domains.

Arnt GPOs on Linux very limited? Anyway to get some form of “policys” working I was thinking of using Ansible and playbooks to manage that portion anyway. (Next project).

you can still use sudo and all the other good stuff while only having one source of truth for identity.

I am aware that linux devices can join the AD domain. The reasons i setup up FreeIPA/IDM is the linux specific rules I can make. Like the Sudo rules for example. As far as i am aware you can not do this with a windows domain controller.

What can also be a good option is urbackup. it supports different operating systems full image backups of windows clients. Not entirely sure if it supports image backups of a linux clients how ever.

Not the intended usecase but fogproject can be used to pull images. Then later you can just PXE boot and place a image back on to a differen system.

Still i think borg would be better for actual backups.
