I'm at a loss on what server to buy in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thank you so much! After searching it up online, the Minisforum MS-01 seems to check off every box I'd had when I went looking.

I'll look around to see if there is anything more suited, but for now, it seems like what I'll end up going with.

Thank you! I'll check it out, it seems to have quite a few good suggestions.

Mostly, I just don't know much about hardware in general. I'm sure I could follow a tutorial online on how to put it together, but I don't know much about what I'd need to buy in the first place.

I'll look online and see what I can find though, this does seem like what I'm going to have to do to get the specs I want.

If this isn't the right community to post this, please let me know, and I'll take it down. I don't want to cause any trouble, I'm just looking for help. I'm really new to this kinda stuff.

I'm at a loss on what server to buy (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm pretty new to self-hosting, and the NAS I'm using right now has been a pain since the moment I bought it. The Synology DS220+ just doesn't have enough CPU power for my needs, and I've recently used up all the disk space I installed, so I'm looking for a new server.

Unfortunately, all the options I've found online prioritize storage space over CPU, and I haven't had much luck finding anything that fits my needs.

Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i3 or higher, but preferably Core i5 GPU: Not needed RAM: max 64 GB, min 16 GB Storage: max 32 TB, min 10 TB Network: 10 GB SPF+ Price: max 6K CAD, preferred 3K CAD

I'm hoping to run TrueNAS Scale with Plex and Nextcloud installed, and my media library isn't likely to get larger than 5 TB, so CPU is really the main limiter of my current NAS.

As an example of something almost perfect: The TrueNAS mini X+ and R varieties would work excellently, but don't meet the CPU requirement. I wanted to look at the other systems on offer from TrueNAS, but they don't list out CPU specs for anything more advanced than the Mini line.

Of the Lenovo stuff, since it was one of the few websites with a filterable picker, the ThinkSystem SR630 V2 was the closest of fitting my requirements. It comes short on the CPU, though, and is verging on the price limit too. I also don't need 12 TB of RAM, or 1.2 PB of storage.

What do you use? Can you recommend any websites I can go to find something that fits my needs better?

I'm using Btrfs. I'm not that experienced with Linux, does that kind of thing usually cause issues?

I'm running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It's an offshoot of Silverblue

I haven't tried any of the other versions in a while, mostly because it takes forever to install, but I can do that. I'll point out that this issue has been going on for years, and I had issues with all variants of steam I've tried before.

I'll download steam a few other times from various package managers to see if any of them work now that some time has passed. In particular, I'll try rpm-ostree layering, docker, and nix.

(edit) I've tried installing steam a few different ways. First, I tried installing with nix. nix profile install nixpkgs#steam resulted in an error about non-free software that couldn't be bypassed, so I tried devbox global add steam@latest which did work, but only in so much as it installed. It failed to launch steam, never mind any games.

Then I tried docker, since it's what I used prior to flatpak. I first ran podman pull ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome then ujust distrobox bazzite-arch ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome This functioned well, but had the same exact problems as the flatpak version.

I was unable to install the rpm-ostree version. Apparently, Bluefin doesn't include it in the default repositories.

I did test to see if 'brew' had steam in its packages, but unfortunately it didn't.

I added some system details to my original comment, if your still interested. I also included the logs from when I tried to run Titanfall 2

Sorry, Flatpak

I edited my original comment to contain some other system information and the logs.

What's your list of banned brands? (lemmy.ca)
 

What brands do you avoid at all cost? I don't keep up with the news all that much, and many of the reasons to avoid something don't make it there anyway. So I'm asking here to make a big list of things to avoid. It could be anything from bad security practices to really frustrating packaging. Working as a cashier myself, I definitely know there are plenty of brands I avoid purely on the basis that their product is a pain to stock.

On the flip side, what's the alternative? If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?

What's some easy recipes that only use non-perishables? (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm getting really tired of my food expiring before I make anything with it, and I want to quit buying anything that can't be frozen or last several months in the cupboard.

What's the name of the belief that gods/entities are quasi-semtient memes (the linguistic term, not the cultural term) in the same manner that corporations and governments are considered people? (lemmy.ca)
 

It's a personal philosophy that I've come to use as my own form of religion, and while I'm aware other people have researched the idea, I'm having some trouble finding the name for the concept.

What are some useful crates? (lemmy.ca)
 

I love browsing crates.io and blessed.rs for interesting and useful crates to experiment with. What are your favorite?

I'm especially interested in those simple ones that do one thing and do it will, like uuid, tempfile, and notify.
