Graphic designer, home labber, food junkie. I break expensive things. I usually can’t fix them.
I run proxmox on my server, VMs within that. It has an excellent backup service built in (not the proxmox backup server, that’s separate) that you can set a schedule for and it keeps to it. Very customizable, all my backups (tested monthly) have restored fine for the past few years. If you’re looking for something to run your homelab, I highly recommend it.
I’m going to say this now before anything happens: backup, backup, and backup. Make multiple copies, store them different places. Please dear god backup your data, because no one else will.
Long term side effects include:
A Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.
“To have a child is to give fate a hostage.”
I’ve said it before, but I’ll believe a corporation is a person when Texas executes ones.
I have a trillium sync server setup, and connect to my network using a VM. The web interface works well enough for what I need it to do. I really wish there was an app for my phone, though.
Any Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.
Determination, patience, a willingness to learn anything you need to.
If you have those, in time, you will be able to get your lab up and running. I started mine with a minimal knowledge of Linux (I could install it from a USB and poke around). Now it’s the center of my families digital life.
You’ll get there in time.
Only the best words?
Building a new, bigger, storage server using TrueNAS scale. I’ve been on CORE forever and it works well. Running out of space, though, and might as well upgrade the OS too.
Behind the Bastards is an amazing podcast.
I would highly suggest separating your storage from your compute. I’ve found this to be a cheaper and more flexible option over the years.
If you are going someplace sensitive, leave your actual phone at home. If you need a phone during that time, pickup a prepaid burner. It sounds extreme, but there are extreme people out there with extreme views about what you should and shouldn’t be doing. Protect yourself.
He gives the wrong shits
It used to be $25. Now it’s $35, waiting for them to raise the threshold further.
You are the hero we deserve. Take my upvote.
I am happy you left it this way.
Take my money.
I used to buy mine from Art of the Server off eBay. Came ready to go.
