    RACKNERD-BF-2023-SHEEEEEEESH!

    @DrLowEndTalk Have you won anything from 2023 BF thread ?

    Unfortunately not. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    I've edited out my comment. Congrats! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ‘Š

    @harrison Wow this is really kind of you to do for @DrLowEndTalk. Are you in the US? If so, would you like the gaming mouse pad + stickers giveaway that I won a few days ago?

    That's really kind of you. But I'm not in the US, so I can't get your kindness. Anyway, thanks a lot! ๐Ÿ’•

    No worries. Take care! Keep being a good human. :smile:

    Oh wait. Not that you're not a good human, but my original giveaway comment was to @harrison. :smile:

    @harrison The offer is still up. I just wanted to pass back the good karma that you gave to @DrLowEndTalk.

    I won the gaming mousepad/swag bundle last year and it actually nice. I use it under my keyboard/infront and under a razor tartarus (little gaming keypad thing). If I didn't have a fancy rgb mouse pad, I would be totally using it for my actual mouse!

    @PuDLeZ I see that you edited your winning comment to allow someone else to win as well. That's kind of you. Are you in the US? If so, would you like another gaming mouse pad? Maybe you can give it to someone in your life as a gift.

    Yeah, I commented without actually looking at it since you have to be fast to win! :lol:

    I am in the US but I don't need another one and friends all spent money on those extra large ones that fills their whole desk. Nice of you to offer though! :heart:

    Deciding between one of the three Ryzen VPS plans. What do you guys think? Future proof a bit? Or be cost effective for now? I likely won't have a need for 3GB of RAM. If anything, I'm looking for more storage so that I could host things like Nextcloud in more useful ways - but of course none of these VPS deals offer that. Would the suggestion there be to get some sort of dedicated server? Or look into external block storage providers to mount to one of these VPSes - this would be new territory for me so it'll be a bit of a learning curve.

    I would always estimate, how much I really need, and then add a bit of reserve. e.g. If I know, that I need 2GB for sure, I would take 2.5GB RAM at least.

    For the Nextcloud it depends on how much space do you really need. I personally have my home lab server with 10TB of RaidZ2, have given my OwnCloud VM 500GB, its only 200GB used, so have plenty of storage left :) Since I had my own server, I decided not to use any of the cloud storage and use my own. So I don't have to pay for GDrive, OneDrive or any other backup solution. On mine and my wife's phones I have set up to backup all photos and videos to my OwnCloud and am completely sure that I have at least 3 copies of everything (1st copy on phone, 2nd on my OwnCloud, 3rd - borg backup to AlphaVPS storage VM :) ).

    Whichever VM you choose, please feel free to use aff link in the Stats page to passively support the growth of all the features there ;)

    RaidZ2, sweet! I just use RAID5. How are you finding ZFS? I'd like to move towards that, but it requires a whole rework and transferring data off and back on.

    Good call on following the 3-2-1 backup strategy!

    I went a bit lazy way - TrueNAS Scale, so I don't have to worry about any manual stuff with ZFS. I think I like it, enabling deduplication saves a lot of space ;)

    TrueNAS Scale is a great choice! Definitely not lazy. I figured you meant something like that, as opposed to ZFS from scratch. Did you move to TrueNAS Scale from something else? If so, how was the transition? Did you have enough spare space to back things up and move it back on?

    I didn't have to backup and migrate, I still have my old machine with J1900 running, having some non critical VMs there, and got a bigger machine assembled just for TrueNAS and instantly started creating more critical VMs on it, migrating one by one. J1900 is Ubuntu 18 (I think), running plain virsh and lxd, everything done via bash :) Both ways are interesting, on the new one, some clicks and you have VM running, on old one you have full control :D

    Exciting stuff! These small form factor boards and computers are awesome! They're great for getting started with self-hosting. I had a few things running on the original Raspberry Pi over 10 years ago. It's incredible how much that can do. And the newer Raspberry Pi's are just exponentially more flexible. Who knows what's coming next, eh?!

    Yeah, this summer I replaced a pi3 that I had running since I got it (early 2016 iirc, which that pi3 replaced a first gen pi) that I had running at my parent's place as my secure way into their network and to do tech support for them. Only reason why I replaced it is because the microsd died and it was easier to setup a pi4 (what I had at my place) before I made the ~7.5hr one way drive to them. So it was basically just a quick swap :) I'm still waiting for sparkfun to give me the email that my pre-ordered pi5 has finally shipped!

    @MrEd i use zabbix, its fairly easy to set up and reports on low disk.

    Zabbix is also a good choice. A fair bit of options in this space, eh? It's actually quite amazing what the FOSS community has cooked up over the past decade especially.

    Will have to look at something, probably next year :)

    These like 10 years ago I also considered using RaspPi, but decided to go with mini itx, you get a bit more power, you can try out Windows VMs if needed (and I needed :D), and you can have multiple HDDs without sacrificing any speed. And you only sacrifice a little more electricity. :)

    The new server, though, is much more expensive (investment and power consumption). Its i5-11500, 96GB RAM, 4x6TB HDDs, 2xSSDs, 1xNVME, did I forget something to mention? Anyways, the idle consumption is like max consumption of J1900 machine :D

    Sadly, I am in EU, so no item giveaways are good for me. Of course, the laptop I would accept to pay taxes and shipping, because that would anyways be much cheaper than buying one locally, but for smaller items shipping+taxes would be too high of a value according to the prize.

    RackNerd, i hope you can upgrade to SolusVM 2.

    Hi @webshanks -- Thank You for commenting and for joining the thread! This is actively something we are working towards :) We have also been working closely with their team on missing features/bugfixes that we would need in order to ensure clients do not lose any existing features they have already become accustomed to.

    We are eagerly looking forward to this as well and I hope to have more news to share on around Q1 or Q2 of 2024.

    Hoping to see SolusVM 2 in the near future!
