READ THE WIKI! & help by contributing: wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server >NAS Case Guide. Feel free to add to it: wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server/Case_guide /hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualisation. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.
>What software should I run? Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavour of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, ampache/Navidrome to replace spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.
>Why should I have a home server? /hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your Any Forums skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.
storage spaces works fine for mirror etc but it has a lot of performance problems on the parity levels if you don't go full hog with ssd cache and all that. i would not recomend it unless you are running a bunch of hyper-v vms. go with stablebit drivepool instead

thanks for making the thread, user.
Anyone got picrel? never any good objective and decent performance reviews for networking gear these days. >let me do a speedtest on my 100mb internet connection. Yup this thing is great! just give me the fucking iperf numbers at a range of distances and through walls.
>actually using Ubiquiti You'd think people would've learned to not use their hardware after they started putting ads in their router configuration pages

>putting ads in their router configuration pages no ads on my edgemax. they make pretty good hardware for the price. it's either ubnt, engenius or mikrotik, they all have different strengths.
Levi Price
we dont do ubiquiti around here.

Start small. I split up my containers into categories - game servers go into games, torrent stack goes into torrents, Nextcloud and friends goes into Nextcloud, etc. From there, I'd recommend splitting networks into public and private - e.g. in case of Nextcloud public has the NC container and haproxy from other compose, private has NC and database and Redis. Mark networks with internal: true when you decide containers in a network don't need to be able to reach internet, minimizes lateral movement if some RCE happens.
