    I'm considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I'm wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this

  • notice the bit about pushing it... say transcoding all the streams etc. I don't know what or how it will be used... thus saying should be fine. Everyones mileage varies no talk about network either, far too many variables to consider thus saying it should be fine!

  • Backing up easily

    Jump

  • For photos I'd look at running immich as it handles duplicates well, and it also plays nicely for you to categorise your photos and videos. For general backups, as said, I would personally look at a solution. I personally use duplicati, others exist, you can have a look into what you need. rsync can do the job, but I found duplicati quicker and easier to setup

  • As said it should be fine unless pushing it with something like media files/jellyfin/plex/nextcloud. Nextcloud for example needs few resources but running anything nice would soon crawl. For the best advice a bit more of what you intend to self host would be nice

  • Data Backup Solutions

    Jump

  • I haven't changed much in years, still run a truenas box (was freenas before) with 5 spinning rust drives and never lost any data yet (bang goes something now I've said it). Currently duplicati but some stuff is just backed up manually still. Each to their own like, and immich on truenas for backing up photos and videos

  • Whilst on many things I respect Linus he is always opinionated to the max. I seem to remember him doing the same over hardware raid and then software raid as well over the years - so Linus what would you like us to use for some data security eh? I do have to throw in that this article is also from 2023 - a long time and a whole host of the issues he says are simply not true any longer

  • First Time Self Hoster- Need help with Radicale

    Jump

  • So you need to understand a bit more about addresses here. If you access the website from the pi it will be http://localhost:5232/ as the address using the defaults. Form another machine it will be http://ipofpi:5232/

    As said below you need to make a file to specify that address, but the defaults given will end up with the above ip addresses. It is a http, not a https as well. So config the address used via the documentation and then access it how you'd like to. This is used because you can, if you wish, specify a different port (5232 is the default)I hope that helps

  • Am I corrupting my data?

    Jump

  • Also I have to say that the whole idea of truenas is moving towards enterprise even if you self-host it. They'd much rather you bought a whole system than on your cobbled together old stuff. That's why it is now community edition, a simple way of saying you are gonna get bugs and things that don't work

  • Am I corrupting my data?

    Jump

  • I get that - it is never going to replace a true docker setup. However I am pretty happy with what I can achieve on my personal truenas setup, and it is NOT exposed to the web which appears to be perfectly fine.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • Nextcloud is pushed as an easy to use docker setup these days, heck most people I know who "use" it don't do much with it at all so what database it is using is gonna be way back in their list of priorities...Plus the users outweigh the admins surely (as in those that just install then forget)

  • I am web developer where can I get white label websites and other resources since I am solo

    Jump

  • Wordpress, as mentioned, should cover you for most things, but you have to realise that Wordpress is getting more and more commercialised every day and cheap hosting is probably worse than a bad wordpress site. You can search for free plugins and theme inside wordpress for example, but if you really want to go white label then you will need to look at your own themes or modifying one to suit

  • oh and then there is truenas which will do all that you want and allows installation of things like plex and/or jellyfin automagically

  • If you go down that route then look at zfs which will allow you some redundancy (like raid) raidz1 can tolerate 1 drive dying and radz2 can tolerate 2, but obviously it is not 100% though I have never had a drive failure corrupt a zfs pool in like 10 years, and replacing a drive is easy. This question has, I'm afraid, many answers. zfs on a 3 drive system would run nicely though, and zfs is supported by Ubuntu. But of course we are talking different ways to do things, and this is part of the fun of self hosting!

  • how to start with self-hosting?

    Jump

  • I agree but I do have to say that Yunohost is becoming bloated. Successive versions run way slower than they used to - I know it is part of the security and ease of use but it is becoming noticeable. You can also use some docker things in yunohost but for an absolute beginner Yunohost is by far the best way to do it.

  • RK3588 consumes less at idle and full power. I said more power hungry and it is exactly that. The n100/150 can be twice as power hungry when on load, you can spin anything if you want but they consume a lot more. Add in extras and it can add up to quite a lot more hungry, I have seen certain n150 setups use 4 times a similar setup on an RK3588 board for example - that is a significant difference

  • Advice for an EU (and in any case non-spying) Dynamic DNS provider?

    Jump

  • Pretty sure you'd be better of with a tunnel like Cloudflare Tunnels, Tailscale, or something similar. They couldn't care less if your ip address changes. Of course Cloudflare is a big corp and doesn't fit your bill but it's the idea I mean not the corp and it is probably the most well known

  • You'd be miles better off with a mini pc with an intel processor than an RK3588 SoC. Drivers are sketchy at best whilst an N100 or similar will just work, plus they will easily take an ssd and other hardware much easier. Yes more power hungry but way easier to work with unless you want to tear your hair out with silly things. OrangePi are decent boards, for example, but they are way behind even a Pi for software support. If you must go ARM I wouldn't look past a Pi5, a decent one with a HAT for nvme/m.2 should do the job

  • I'm "use NFS forfilesharing" old. what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house?

    Jump

  • Oh it just doesn't like it as much as SMB... has work mandated VPN on it for starters! I use a truenas box for most of the backups etc. and I just share the same dataset via SMB and NFS and locally only, so it is sorted, but NFS on the Win 11 box is just way flakier and drops often

    Jump

  • I still have to use SAMBA as Win 11 hates NFS with a passion and we have Win 11 boxes here supplied as work machines so no changing. Also wifeys gaming rig is Windows as she don't want to mess around getting stuff to work...But hey - for everything else it is NFS with all of its weirdness, but it just works a bit better than SMB
