Not that I’m aware of, but I’m not as knowledgeable as someone else. I’m hoping some quick research or someone better can help. If I remember I can look later on this evening, but can’t at the moment.

Someone more knowledge than me can correct me, but I’m pretty sure you could buy a newer bigger drive to replace an older drive. You obviously wouldn’t get the full capacity as it would be limited by the other older slower drives. However, you would get a, theoretically, more reliable drive than a random one on eBay. Then as you replace older drives eventually you could have increased size.

Caveat is that it will put stress on the old drive to rebuild, however you’d get that with any drive you put in. General wisdom I saw says to replace all the drives. Although that can be expensive.

I’m any case make sure you have a backup before you do any of the changes.

A little off topic, but on first glance I thought that website was called fart caller.

On topic, I’ve never Heard of this service. I still haven’t setup anything like this. Might give it a try.

Hopefully someone smarter than me can help. You can always do what I do, and just blow up the install and start fresh. 😂

Darn.

I suppose you could also try using the lsof command to see if it shows anything different?

This may sound silly, but have you tried restarting? I feel like that worked for me when I had a similar issue in the past. Something was holding onto the port, but it wasn’t showing up anywhere. Restart got it to let go and it worked afterwards.

Oof, you weren’t kidding about the price. Seems like a pretty solid piece of software though.

This is 100% my experience and setup. (Though I run Debian for my docker VM)

I did run docker in an LXC but ran into some weird permission issues that shouldn’t have existed. Ran it again in VM and no issues with the same setup. Decided to keep it that way.

I do run my plex and jellyfin on an LXC tough. No issues with that so far.

That was one of the things I got wrong at first as well. But it totally makes it much easier in the long run.

I have proxmox on bare metal, an HBA card to passthrough to TrueNAS Scale. I’ve had good luck with this setup.

The HBA card is to passthrough to TrueNAS so it can get direct control of the drives for ZFS. I got mine on eBay.

I’m running proxmox so that I can separate some of my processes (e.g. plex LXC) into a different VM.

I see you spared no expense.

Some are used way more than others, but here is my list.

• Home Assistant
• ttrss
• audiobookshelf (mostly for podcasts)
• linkding
• bitwarden
• Amp game server (the game varies but right now it’s space engineers)
• immich
• baby buddy
• nextcloud
• pihole
• Plex
• jellyfin
• usememos
• paperless-ngx
• mealie

(Probably some underutilized app I’m forgetting)

For projects I prefer an ESP32 unless it needs a fancy GUI.

I run proxmox on bare metal. I have a couple VMs for docker, and video game servers.

Not OP, but my Lenovo tiny computer on ebay is about $60 and will run circles around a raspberry pi

Power usage isn’t too much higher, it’s upgradeable, and it’s x86-64 architecture so more things are supported.

My tiny has an i7 and was a bit more expensive, but it’s a powerful little guy. I added more ram for a total of 32, and it does better than my “old” server (technically from same era).

Can’t speak for the other stuff.

I got a Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q Tiny Intel i7-7700T on eBay for just under $200 USD. Though you can find slightly older less powerful ones for a bit cheaper. It does have a fan, but stays generally pretty quiet unless it’s under a super load. It’s easy enough to add an M.2 drive and get an 2.5" drive enclosure (I got on amazon).

I agree that x86_64 architecture is much more versatile than arm.
