I do super lazy zipped/encrypted Syncthing backups from my server to my PC, my laptop, my phone and a small PC I have at my parents place. I also have a space-share with a friend where we dedicate 16GB or so on our respective machines for each other.
That is awesome, and kind of funny. The Rsync solution would be up my alley. Keep it simple and generally low-maintenance. And I wouldn't have to go anywhere, which is nice.
I should look into Syncthing. The trouble would be keeping connectivity from another site. If I gotta expose a port for that on another residential network, that's gonna be too much of a pain. Could probably VPN it into my home network, though, that could work. I got DDNS, so no issues there. I gotta read up on how Syncthing works.
Or just go overkill. I just can't give up my ancient dual-socket opteron board. Recently redid my entire setup with Proxmox as base and moved my Desktop upstairs to connect via 10Gb. Stream everything downstairs via Sunshine/Moonlight and have my Cockpit/HOTAS setup connected back up via USB/IP running on an ancient Raspberry Pi 2b. I'm running a local Steam Cache that has my entire library downloaded (about 3TB) and when I want to install something it just pulls from the cache over the 10Gb link.
For over a decade I've used a local Password Safe file I keep on Dropbox. Dropbox is synced to my local storage nightly via a Truenas cloud sync job and I have about 1-2TB of the most important/impossible to recover things synced to Backblaze B2.
Pleroma, Akkoma and Rebased are just optimized, rewritten versions of Mastodon with some extra features. They're federated to the Troonstodon network by default unless you disable federation. It looks like the creator put Rebased on the backburner to focus on some TERF Tumblr clone? Anyway, you can find an archive of the install guide here. I can't remember this too well because the last time I deployed Rebased it was still called Soapbox-BE, and that instance has been gone for years, but I wanted the thing on Docker as well and wrote my own Dockerfile with the Elixir install and compile commands in the guide.
That memory usage is kind of worrying as PVE isn't good at dealing with OOM situations reliably.
Impressive, very nice...
Not sure if the reporting is correct. PVE does these weird things to me, too. It depends on the number of VMs running. If in doubt, check host memory usage for each VM and the host's total free RAM. But I agree on zRAM, it's really great.
I don't; those are strictly one on at a time. Consumer AMD cards (7900 XTX in this case) have no support at all for SR-IOV. I'm trying out running as much gaming on Linux as possible but (Ubuntu at least) doesn't play nicely at all with Steam VR hence still having a Windows 11 VM. The WIn7 is so I can run an ancient version of Java necessary to connect to the IPMI remote console on the server board; the video analyzer VM is me starting to play around with some on-prem AI.
Nice setup you got there, do you have any tips regarding RAIDZ? I currently have a simple eight drive RAIDZ2 pool, are there more optimal ways of setting up pools?
I only have a single VM at a time running on that box using at most 28GB out of the 32GB. I wouldn't ever run something important that close to the edge. zram-tools does look interesting though.
Nice setup; deserves better than those flimsy tables, though.
ZRAM/Zswap has one caveat, though, because of the general weirdness of Linux' memory reporting: When your machine hits 100% of physical RAM usage, even with several GiB of free Zswap reported, it will start killing processes, anyway, starting with the biggest offender. So, you'll still need to check against free and what that says.
All the parts arrived yesterday, and I was able to get TrueNas and Jellyfin installed relatively easily. I uploaded a few movies and shows and the server is easily able to handle a couple streams. Now my biggest problem is Jellyfin downloading incorrect metadata based on the video file titles.
I've always used the Arr stack for that. Radarr and Sonarr containers are also available in TrueNAS.
Update: Unraid has made me lazy and I got filtered by the Truenas permissions system when trying to set containers up so I went with the only logical option and virtualised Truenas under Proxmox. I had accidentally (sending stupid offers on eBay) bought one of those HP Elite Mini 800 G9s (12700T/16GB/500GB) and have been playing around with Proxmox for the last few weeks and really like it.
As a Windows pleb, the pozix security permissions system in TrueNAS is dreadful. I stay as lazy as possible and create a dataset just for apps and slap permissions for the apps user ( 568 ) all over it.
