Ditto. I just farted to look into this yesterday and found the trash guides. It was pretty incomprehensible and I gave up. I hope to come back to this thread later and see that someone has explained how to set this up simply.

Me three, and I supported the original games kickstarter and loved it.

I had such a frustrating time getting onto that site and trying to figure out their karma system after I made it in. Nothing I actually wanted to read or listen to was available until you reached a certain level of upload. I downloaded all the free leech stuff but nobody downloaded it from me. It was a huge waste of time and I gave up eventually.

Just checked on my pi4 with 4GB of ram that has been running beautifully as a NAS with 2x10TB USB drives mirrored, *arr suite, and Jellyfin for a couple of years, only 250mb of RAM free. I’m glad I splurged and got the 4gb model.

You don’t want a swap file on the SD card as excessive writes will kill it rather quickly.

I’ll take an 8 bay NAS with Thunderbolt/USB 4 for the best of both worlds. My only problem is that I’m very sensitive to sound and I don’t want spinning hard drives in my office.

If it had a split screen view on iPad, posts on a side bar and content on the main screen, I would be so happy.

Absolutely loved those books but can’t recommend reading them until book 3 comes out, lest others be stuck with us in this same eternal purgatory.

I’m very happy with ansible-NAS! https://ansible-nas.io/

It takes some extra time to understand and configure up front on another computer, but once you do, reimaging the server in case of problems takes a single command.

That’s great. It’s been chugging along beautifully with no downtime for me too. It’s just that one failed update attempt, losing internet and network while it was down, and needing to go Ethernet directly into the box to do the snapshot rollback late at night made me afraid to try again. Last night it took me two hours to update everything , first proxmox 7 to 8, then OPNsense needed 4 rounds of update and reboot but each one was seamless.

I’m also on ZFS with two primary mirrored drives. Do you have to check zfs status regularly to see if a drive has failed? Or is there some kind of warning system when logging in via SSH?

I’m thinking of turning my rarely used windows gaming PC into a proxmox host with a Linux gaming VM for my next adventure.

Edit: realized it was a whole node that failed, not just a drive. Cool setup! I’m not there yet. I’m curious about your setup, what’s between the modem and the router?

You just described my setup of about a year. I’m struggling to update opnsense, last time I tried it just stopped working and I had to restore a snapshot from proxmox to get it working again. If anyone reading this has any suggestions I’m all ears!

Just updated proxmox and opnsense with few snags and it just worked. Phew.

Ah yes, the single player MMO.
