Meet our new #NAS. #Zimablade#SBC arrived. Wired it up to two 4TB hard drives. 5400rpm, for quietness and reliability. Installed Cockpit to pair them up in RAID1, and left rsync copying our media onto here overnight. Next up, a #Jellyfin media server will access media from here, and try #Syncthing as a Dropbox replacement...
Any nerds out there know whether it’s possible to find an adapter to replace this tiny drive with something more useful?
I’m pondering this tiny Dell PC as a home server, but it only has USB 2. So I’m wondering whether I could run an adapter cable to a socket outside the case into which I can plug something with a usable capacity.
As far as I can tell it’s a 44 pin IDE DOM, but not much appears to work with it.
Also bei der Installation von #Yunohost hatte ich keinerlei Probleme. Ja: Es muss aktuell Debian 11 als Grundlage installiert sein. Aber das steht auch in der Doku #rtfm 😉
Since I can't stop thinking about expanding my NAS (I've got a 2-bay NAS now, apparently my brain "needs" a 4+ bay NAS), so I'm looking into building one from parts vs just buying the 4-bay Synology.
Finding small cases with four drive bays is apparently hard; they've all got 1-2 bays and a huge amount of space for a massive GPU because only gamers buy them?
Hey, you know what? For around the cost of upgrading to a 4-bay NAS, I can just double the storage in my existing hardware. And I can just plug in the new drives (one at a time) and repair the volume.
Did UGREEN just send a bunch of techfluencers a free NAS just to push their new kickstarter project? It's nice that it's significantly cheaper than Syncology's practical monopoly on all-in-one NAS, but I'm not sure I'd want to trust my data to sync via this actual Chinese company.
Imagine them harvesting all your photos for AI... Or blackmailing / corporate theft of secrets.
A few weeks ago I bought a terramaster NAS (because it was the only device you could install other OSes like proxmox or truenas on it) and now UGREEN published a kickstarter with their new NASes which can do the same but are much newer in terms of hardware…
I have a NAS that I use to backup my devices. Now I want to periodically backup that NAS to some cloud storage.
There would be many uploads and very rarely (hopefully never) downloads. So uploads and storage should be cheap, but it's OK if downloads are expensive.
What software and host/cloud providers do you folks recommend? I want to encrypt the data before uploading.
Although I've been using linux and hosting websites on external servers for many years I'm a late comer to the home server network. Probably a good solution for storing and backup of images amongst many other things. My Synology NAS drive arrives in the next few days and I then can start "messing" :sablobsmilehappy: Any starter tips?
Les presento mi próximo proyecto ñoño: Armar mi propio NAS
Voy a remplazar un Qnap de 2 discos por un sistema armado con 4 discos. Ya tengo el gabinete, fuente de poder, procesador, RAM, SSD (Reciclada de la que cambié en el laptop) y los discos duros los reutilizo del Qnap. Solo falta que me llegue la placa madre.
Voy a utilizar TrueNAS SCALE como sistema operativo.
Tuve el servidor funcionando con #TrueNAS por harto tiempo, pero al intentar instalar aplicaciones me pareció que el sistema es muy poco flexible y cuesta personalizar las cosas. Está pensando para trabajar desde la interfaz web, así que cuando quieres usar la linea de comando las cosas se complican e incluso puedes perder lo que haces con las actualizaciones, así que finalmente decidí formatear todo y partir de cero nuevamente con mi NAS casero.
