I’ll freely admit to skimming a bit but yes proxmox can run trunas inside of it. Proxmox is powerful but might be a little frustrating to learn at first. For example by default proxmox expects to use the boot drive for itself and it’s not immediately clear how to change that to use that disk for other things.
The noctua dh-15 is overkill for that cpu btw unless you’re doing an overclock which I wouldn’t recommend for server use. What’s your plans for the 1060? If using proxmox you’ll want to get one of the “G” series AMD CPUs do that proxmox binds to the apu and then you should be able to do gpu passthrough on the 1060.
I’d planned on using the GPU for things like video transcoding (which I know it’s probably way overkill for). Perhaps something like stable diffusion to play around with down the line? I’m not entirely sure. I do know that, since the CPU isn’t a G series, it’ll need to be plugged in at least if/when I need to put a monitor on it. Laziness suggests I’ll likely just end up leaving it in there, lol. As far as the dh-15, yeah, that’s outrageously overkill, I know, and I may very well slap the stock cooler on it and sell the dh-15.
I have a proxbox with a R5 4600G even under extreme loads the stock cooler is fine. Honestly once prox is setup you don’t need a GPU. The video output of proxmox is just a terminal (Debian) so as long as things are running normally you can do everything through the web interface even without the gpu. I do highly recommend a second GPU (either a G series CPU or a cheap GPU) if you want to try proxmox GPU passthrough. I’ve done it and can say it is extremely difficult to get working reliably with just a single GPU.
Yeah, I’d definitely considered the fact that I can probably just take the GPU out as soon as proxmox is set up. The only thing I’d leave it for is for transcoding, which may or may not be something I even need to/want to bother with.
There is no need fire up a dedicated machine to do this. Use your router/ap running openwrt and connect a hdd via usb. The machine needs at least 128 Mb RAM (256 mb would be better). Install the transmission package, set it up, add a gig of swap space on the hdd and you are good to go. The AP runs 24/7 anyways so there will be very few extra power consumption. Vpns often don’t allow port forwarding (mullvad has stopped support recently if I remember correctly). You can just be a passive node and not often ports, that should work good enough. Consider seeding parts of sci-hub. it’s a project worth supporting imho.
You can just download once of the parts below with less than 12 seeds and set it to host without ratio:
I use annas archive for ebooks but I organize those with calibre, not audiobookshelf because I have a somewhat peculiar organization scheme that relies on calibres custom columns and export feature.
My audiobooks I get from abtorrents but I heard great things about myanonamouse
I do use Obsidian and you can use what you want to sync between devices by activating plugins. I’ve used many différent notetaking app and Obsidian make my day! obsidian.md
Its 5 devices too so with mullvad id get 10 devices… would be nice that i have another vpn that can do lots of devices maybe 50… but airvpn looks banger for torrenting :) (id need only one pc in airvpn)
Love airvpn, it unfortunately trips captchas a lot, and some sites outright block you. If you’re seeing this up on a router, make a wifi network that’s unprotected just for the sake of convenience.
But torrenting and everything critical, rocksteady.
I am by no means an expert, but my current solution is a spare raspberry pi running a docker container with qBitTorrent+VPN that sits plugged into my router. I like to think of it as my first step towards getting my shit together to building a full ARR stack
PS.: if you’re new to this and muddling through, I am happy to send you my notes and the docker compose file. The only thing I had to do outside of that was to mount a network folder so that it was downloading straight into my server and not locally on the Pi
Definitely does the job… I have a Plex server that a lot of family and quite a few friends use. It used to be that every time someone had a request, I would walk over to my desktop, find a torrent, wait for it to finish, copy it over the LAN to my NAS running Plex, and there might be days between me remembering to fulfill their requests. Now I get a message, and immediately from my cellphone pull up the qBitTorrent web UI, paste whatever they asked into the built-in search, click add, and reply “will be in Plex in 10-15 minutes”.
Now I want a fully automated ARR stack with one of those tools that allows people to make their own requests and it have it autopirate… So instead of them sending me request messages, I will be opening my Plex to watch TV, see something I never heard of on the “recently added”, and then guess who requested that and text them “hey was that you? Thanks for the new movie/TV show, I love it”
Got so carried away I didn’t answer your actual question. Yes, good speeds but then again the sucker is hooked up to gigabit fiber. But also, my speed is usually not the bottleneck anyway, I think
Haha i actually like that you got carried away. You have a nice system :) i definitely want to have something similar. With gigabit fiber yeah you will hit whatever cap is on the pi board then and its still plenty
I love my orange pi (5+, 16GB, 256GB eMMC, 2TB NVME). New, with case and eMMC (excluding NVME) was about $200.
Smart switch says it idles at about 2.9W, transcoding 1080p with Jellyfin draws about 5W (at several hundred FPS with HW transcoding — so it presumably won’t draw that much for the entire duration of the media). Not sure how reliable smart switch is at those powers but I’m guessing it’s ballpark accurate.
Works flawlessly for Immich of course.
The duel 2.5G NICs are underutilized by me but kinda fun to have I guess.
For me, idle power is important, so the ARM SBC route is pretty appealing. A new x64 NUC at same price might offer comparable performance I suppose, and something used could be beefier at the expense of more power usage. But to each their own!
I got lost with setting up a nice inbox downloader to store all my emails on a HDD attached to my RPI4, but haven’t quite mastered the SMTP server part or found the right software to run on it. It’s currently powered off waiting for a reflash of the SD Card so I can try again. The end goal for mine is to set up fetchmail and have it grab from my inboxes then imap capabilities so I can read it in Thunderbird. (Don’t talk to me about webmail, I know it’s the way but I’m older than Star Wars (Original one) and am stuck in my ways. Now get off of my lawn!
Seriously though, I have tinkered with it before as an AdguardHome Server, but somehow, my latency increased so I dropped that. Most of it’s life was spent hosting Home Assistant on it until I moved that to the umm…more controversial Proxmox VM method. I’m also on the fence about setting up the Raspberry Pi Nextcloud on it. (Maybe).
Here is a good resource for 36 different things you could possibly do with yours.
I remember there was a tool so you can download your lemmy subscriptions then upload it to your new Lemmy instance so in that way it will federate with those you are interested in. I don’t exactly remember the name but if I find it will comment back here.
The issue could still be a fail-to-band issue if fail-to-band is looking at the user agent string (I’m not sure fail to ban looks at the user agent string, but it might be worth checking out.). The user agent string would likely be different on a mobile app versus a browser login.
I hear Anna’s Archives is great for ebooks. I don’t do audiobooks, and can’t stand podcasts, but it sounds like a lot of good suggestions were made for those already.
