Hobby NAS with VM, here is my rough idea

Hardware Build a PC
, ,
21

Still waiting my RAM
The waiting is killing me (compared to Amazon

22

Since I have no idea when will my RAM arrive I also did some studying on network switches.

My internet would not go over 1Gbps anytime soon so I have no need for a different router.

But my new NAS tower would have a 10Gbps NIC (plus another 1Gbps NIC).
And then in a few months (or less) I will have another new PC for gaming with 2.5Gbps.
Should I get a 10Gbps/2.5Gbps switch too?

e.g.

23

Don’t see any cheap enough 2.5G / 10G switch yet, will check back at least 6 months later

Got all my ECC RAM and built the machine, now testing with memtest

Setuping ZFS pool with properties, samba, storage pool (proxmox)

Will study boot drive backup afterward (using some really old SSD as boot drive here lol)

My ZFS notes

New Pool Properties

compression=lz4

atime=off

casesensitivity=sensitive
normalization=formD
utf8only=on

acltype=posixacl
xattr=sa
dnodesize=auto

aclinherit=passthrough

sharenfs=off
sharesmb=off

Ref

Confirm

zfs get -d 0 -o all compression,checksum,atime,casesensitivity,normalization,utf8only,acltype,xattr,dnodesize,aclinherit,sharenfs,sharesmb,available,refreservation

Already setup some CT for Caddy, qBittorrent, etc.

Setting up docker CT template but how to add SSH key more efficiently…

26

Ubiquiti would be my go-to choice. Last I checked though, ETAs for their hardware run into May/June 2023. 6 months is probably the right timeframe to wait.

27

Well I might not even need that switch anyway.
It’s not like I always got high data transfer rate.

Let me wait for cheap enough solutions…

Most old NAS functions restored, even got Emby setup (not Jellyfin coz the Unicode subtitle doesn’t work)
Gonna study CT with docker…

28

lol. It’s 2023 and something doesn’t play nice with Unicode?

29

The CT template I use (provided by proxmox?) have locale set to C
I have to do something to set it to en_US.utf8
But it’s all fine afterward (why isn’t C.utf8 set as default… anyway

locale-gen "en_US.UTF-8"
dpkg-reconfigure locales

localectl status

Using both my main PC and the new NAS to download new BT stuff
Looking at them transferring data via LAN…
It’s great that now I have no need to keep BT app opened on my main PC

31

Any 2.5G affordable router these days…? (Or still expensive period

32

2.5 is pretty affordable

Side note, I’m finding my i13500 to be a bargain CPU for this with all it’s e-cores.

33

I have that qnap 10gbit Switch it does what it states and works for me.

34

Still thinking on how to make use of that number of CPU cores… lol
