Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox (lemmy.ml)

I have a trusty UnRaid server that has been running great for almost 3 years now, with some kinks and headaches here and there, but mostly very stable. Now I’m entertaining the idea of setting that box up with ProxMox, and running UnRaid virtualized. The reason being that I want to use UnRaid exclusively as a NAS and then run...

NullGator,

If you virtualize unraid, unraid wont have direct drive access - you can get around this by getting an HBA card and forwarding that to the unraid VM. Others have mentioned that proxmox doesn’t have docker support, I personally run docker containers within lxc boxes on proxmox. There are solutions to make managing containers easier, like portainer, if you want to go down that route.

NullGator,

That’s my current configuration, it works well. Put your storage on a separate network. I use smb shares so my data is password protected, even on that separate network.

Main downside of this is there’s more places for failure to occur. If your NAS goes down, there’s no storage access for proxmox which may cause service downtime. Alternatively if proxmox goes down, this also causes service downtime. For me this is fine, but something to keep in mind. Ideal solution would be 2 HA clusters for storage and compute, but thats expensive haha.

NullGator,

LXCs let you get all the benifits of VMs with fewer drawbacks, I recommend that approach if you want some extra sandboxing than docker on bare metal provides.

NullGator,

How is running a container in an LXC worse than in a VM? It’s not really, is it? No, not really. Kubernetes could also be built on top of the LXC as well, sure. There are a number of genuine benifits from running docker on top of an LXC, and it doesn’t compromise security or come with a significant performance drop (unlike VMs).

NullGator,

It does, but skipping requires plex pass which is a paid feature

NullGator,

On graphene, don’t feel like switching launchers again - just disabled all network access for nova launcher and its supporting apps… Thanks for the heads up!

How Do I Completely Remove A Docker Container And All Dependencies?

I’m using tessypowder/backblaze-personal-wine, and I need to reinstall it due to some drive changes. I have tried docker rm [container ID], but when I add the container again, it seems to be stuck with the old wine settings. I have also tried adding it with a new name so it would theoretically be a totally new container, but...

NullGator,

rm the container, then run docker system prune -a. This will remove all unused docker images, containers, networks, volumes, etc.

NullGator,

Glad to help :)

NullGator,

Fuck turbo tax, that shit sucks don’t use it - can’t say enough bad things about it. I’ve used cash app to file for free for a few years now. I doubt their privacy policy is any good, but it works well and I’m not trying to fuck around with my taxes…

NullGator,

I’d bet you can find it on private trackers - myanonamouse has signups semi-frequently iirc?

anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

I’ve tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don’t know what I’m doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don’t understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff....

NullGator,

I’d suggest proxmox. Sinple web UI for management, but debian backend. Very powerful virtualization. Supports GPU passthrough, LVMs, ZFS, and a bunch of other stuff out of the box. If you get another machine, you can also put them into a cluster.

NullGator,

Right idea, but I’d suggest getting dell or lenovo mini pcs instead. Saves you a bit of cash and you can get a semi-recent (low tdp) i5 + 8gb ram + whatever ssd the seller will throw you. They run 80ish USD before tax iirc

NullGator,

Uses the signal back end and is cross compatible

For just $30 + $5 a month, I'm able to share everything with my family. Here's how.

(Disclaimer: yes, I bought a $180 4TB Crucial SSD too, but my family split the cost with me since they’re going to use my Jellyfin server. Whether that counts towards the final cost is up to you. And the electricity cost is pretty negligible to run a Le Potato as a server, but I guess you can count that too.)...

Be a VPS for other people?

I have friends and relatives that would like to do some memory and compute intensive tasks, but lack the hardware locally. I have loads of ram doing nothing and a little compute to spare. Is there a way for me to set up some service accessible to them that would allow them to spin up VMs, similar to Linode or DigitalOcean? I...

NullGator,

repo’s readme mentions having support for docker…

NullGator,

He mentions the CPU (I watched this a few days ago, I forget the exact model) - it’s only sold in prebuilts, so of you look it up on ebay, you’ll find equivalent items

Do nameservers matter?

My domain is currently registered at porkbun, with the nameservers at cloudflare and hosting through codeberg pages. On the cloudflare end I’ve disabled all the security stuff and proxying is off for all the DNS records, though I still don’t like using them (porkbun is horribly buggy, borderline unusable). Is there a better...

NullGator,

Shouldn’t affect the speed it takes to retrieve records too much (a couple ms), but certain nameserver providers may update records faster in the event you change 'em.

NullGator,

Alternatives:

ipconfig.io

ifconfig.io

ipinfo.io < this also gives info about the IP and you can use it to do ip lookups with ipinfo.io/IP

You can also get your ip through cloudflare dns :

dig ch txt whoami.cloudflare @1.1.1.1 +short

NullGator,

Would definitely be interested

What is your machine naming scheme?

I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it...

NullGator,

That’s a TODO, atm they’re names that reflect their role. So my reverse proxy is “roundabout” because it directs traffic internally
