NAS / NAS + server? Unraid, Proxmox, Intel, AMD? Looking for guidance. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One of the things I learned as a dev is not to overcomplicate things - my profession is very guilty of this and it bites us in the ass in the end 100% of the time. I'm slowly learning not to do that, thus, Unraid :) thanks for the info.

Do you have any issues with downtime? Are updates troublesome?

I only said 3 drives because supposedly it's better than 2, which would mean simple mirroring - I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, shouldn't be hard to get answers there.

Is Cloudflare Tunnels really this problematic? I thought Tunnels and Tailscale would be safe... If I can't expose those services, I'd rather pay for SaaS alternatives.

Thank you for the other tips.

Why do you need both Unraid and TrueNAS? Don't they do the same thing? What's the downside to running TrueNAS on VM in Proxmox VS dedicated machine?

What device do you use for NAS? I'm looking to have a tb of raid 0 ssd cache and if I were to have a dedicated NAS, I would probably go for something with ITX mobo or something like Ugreen Nas with unraid software. Doesn't the power necessary to have a performant NAS go underutilized then?

In a few months, I will have the space and infrastructure to join the selfhost community. I'm trying to prepare, as I know it can be challenging, but I somehow ended up with more questions than answers.

For context, I want to run a server with torrents, media (plex, Jellyfin or something else entirely - I didn't make a decision yet), photos(Emmich, if its stable, or something else), Rook, Paperless, Home Assistant, Frigate, Adguard Home... Possibly lots more. Also, I will need storage - I'm planning for 3x18tb drives to begin with, but will certainly be adding more later.

My initial intention was to set up a NAS in Silverstone CS382(or Jonsbo N3/N5, if they're in a reasonable price). I heard good things about Unraid and it's capabilities of running docker. On the other hand, I'm hearing hood things about Proxmox or NixOS with NAS software running in a VM, too - but for Unraid, it seems hacky. Maybe I should run NAS and a separate server? That'd be more costly and seems like more work on maintenance with no real benefit. Maybe I should go with TrueNAS in a VM? If I don't do anything other than NAS, TrueNAS shouldn't be that hard to set up, right?

I'm also wondering whether I should go with Intel for QuickSync, AMD and Arc graphics or something else entirely. I've read that AV1 is getting popular, is AMD getting more support there? I will buy Intel if it's clearly the better option, but I'm team Red and would prefer AMD.

Also, could anyone with a non-technical SO tell me how do they find your selhosted things? I've read about Cloudflare Tunnels and Tailscale, which will be a breeze for me, but I gotta think about other users aswell.

That's another concern for me - am I correct in thinking Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels are all I need to access the server remotely? I will probably set up a PiKVM or the Risc one aswell, can it be exposed aswell? I will have a dream machine from Ubiqiti, anything that needs to run to access the server I may run there. I'm not looking to set up anything more complicated like Wireguard - it's too much.

For additional context, I'm a software developer, I know my way with Docker and the command line and I consider myself to be tech savvy, but I'm not looking to spend every weekend reading changelogs and doing manual updates. I want to have an upgrade path (that's why Im not going with Synology for example), but I also don't want to obsess over it. Money isn't much of an issue, I can spare 1-2k$ on the build, not including the drives.

Any feedback and suggestions appreciated :)

Sure you are, buddy in c/[email protected]

It might be due to the fact that I mostly consume media in English, but I hear more about US elections than I heard about the EU parliament elections which were last month. A lot of people are interested, and for good reasons - it's going to influence much more than US itself. I don't think you can go back to keeping your elections to yourself without keeping your military, pop cultural and corporate influence to yourself aswell.

It's somehow even trickier to find a list of differences between them and regular win 11.

There's 1440 minutes per day, a lock that's right twice a day is right for 1/720th of the time. A broken calendar, right for one day of 365, is actually accurate twice as often as a broken clock.
