Hi all! So I noticed a few weeks ago that my home network would “crash” occasionally whenever I would try to stream content via Plex on my local network. My client is a 2nd Gen AppleTV 4K. One behavior was: After starting playback, the content would load, but shortly after my server and home network would go offline. All devices would loose connection until my router came back online. The routers would not “reboot” per se, at least according to the status LEDs, but they completely lost connection. Another behavior was: Playback would start fine, but usually after a few minutes, playback would stutter and a “your connection to the server is not fast enough” message would appear. Sometimes it would stabilize, other times it would just lag and crash the network again. Server: 2018 Mac mini running Plex Media Server v.1.87.2.87-87488d5a Router: 2x Linksys Velop MX4200 Anyway, the solution seems to have been to ENABLE “Priority By Device” in my Linksys Smart Wifi App. Assigning my server to the priority list seems to have completely stabilized my network. I watched Oppenheimer (4K @ ~45Mbps), an episode of Bobs Burgers, and am currently watching South Park while typing this. The network appears completely stable. tldr: If you have a Linksys router and your network is crashing when watching Plex, add your server to the “Priority By Device” list in your Linksys Smart Wifi App.

Hello everyone. I'm kind of in an uncomfortable situation. I need some dedicated help in getting Home Assistant, Unraid, and PiHole up and running. read on for more details. I wanted to have a Home Assistant setup for my workshop. I didn’t know it at the time, but that’s what I needed. Through a series of conversations (and roughly $700 later) I had enough equipment to set up an Unraid server, and have two tablet computers to run my home assistant (inside unraid) and two dashboards. They're just sitting in my home office doing nothing. The person who recommended all this equipment to me was willing to help me get everything up and running, but he had a personal emergency and now isn't able to help me complete the setup. I'm super-duper green when it comes to this kind of stuff... so much so that I'm finding it hard to follow tutorials, as they seem to require a base level of understanding I don't have. I'm fairly technical, but most of my computer knowledge revolves around tinkering in the files system. I just don't have the grid for networking and custom computing. This leaves me with a server that I somehow managed to get up and running properly (I think) and a home assistant VM that, while technically might also be installed correctly, I have no idea how to integrate all my devices (cameras, lights, air monitors, outlets, 3d printer). I was also trying to get Pi-Hole up and running as a VM as well tonight, but literally 1 minute into the video I was already lost. So the good news: Most of this is ready to go, I just need help in figuring out...... how to use it, I think. Pi-Hole is the only thing that hasn't been started yet. Mods: If this is the wrong place to post this, my sincerest apologies. I'd love a tip on where to go to get assistance if the post has to come down.

I have a question. Does Intel Xeon Gold 5115 Processor(DL360 Gen10 Server) supports a HPE 64gb ddr4-2933 CAS-21-21-21 RDIMM Memory? Does anyone tried to install on it? Thanks!

Hi guys, im looking to pick up a budget server mobo and corresponding CPU, it doesn't need to be anything flash but does require the following: -ECC Ram support -a minimum of 2X8 pcie lanes (16x 2 slots with minimum 8 lanes each) for SAS and SFP+ cards NVME m.2 slot In my local market I have found this: ASRock C236M WS Micro ATX https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C236M WS#Specifications

Hello, LTT Forum Community! I'm on the brink of embarking on an exciting project to set up a home server and would greatly appreciate your collective expertise to guide me through some decisions. Given the constraints of apartment living, where space is at a premium and modifications to the property are off-limits, I'm leaning towards a compact yet powerful setup. My vision includes a small form factor PC discreetly placed under my TV cabinet, complemented by a hard drive enclosure for NAS purposes. Here's what I aim to achieve with my server: Implement ad-blocking using Pi-hole or a similar service. Support at least four simultaneous video streams on Plex. Run a VPN server, specifically something along the lines of Vmess/Vless. Facilitate occasional light gaming on my TV, including Switch emulation and party games. Hosting my website(s). Explore additional services, such as smart home integrations. Potential Hardware Configuration: PC Option: Minisforum UM790 Pro 7940HS Mini PC. Storage Solution: Ugreen 5 Bay RAID Enclosure USB-C to SATA HDD SSD – UGREEN. Hard Drives: 3 or 4 Seagate Iron Wolf 8TB drives, contemplating RAID 5 or RAID 6 setup. I saw a video telling me to leave a bay or two empty for future expansions. Key Questions: RAID Configuration: Given the built-in RAID support of the Ugreen enclosure, should I opt for hardware RAID or would software RAID be more reliable? I'm concerned about the potential for data loss if the RAID controller fails, and I've read mixed opinions on the resilience of software RAID in such scenarios. PC Choice: Should I go with the Minisforum PC, or would building a custom ITX PC be a better route? Having previously built a mATX PC, I'm a bit hesitant about navigating the intricacies of a smaller ITX build. Alternatively, are there other solutions I should consider? Budget-wise, I'm aiming for a balance between cost-effectiveness and meeting my project's requirements. I'm open to investing in quality components that provide value without being excessively pricey. I'm eager to hear your thoughts, recommendations, and any personal experiences that could help steer this project toward success. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for any advice you can provide!

Hey Everyone, I recently bought a M3 pro Macbook pro for video editing and now I want use my old laptop (Asus ROG GL502 VM core i7-6700HQ with GTX 970m) as a NAS. I am completely new to this topic so here are some things that I can not figure out. 1 - I have around 5 external HDDs. is USB connection enogh for the speed? 2 - I want to be able to read and write files from my macbook, Do I have to format them all and lose current files on them? 3 - I want to be able to access them both in my house and remotely. but in house I want to be able to access the files more directly. what is the best solotion? 4 - I know I am missing alot of things so I would appreciate If you could help me out with it.

I'm new to servers, so I'm looking for recommendations that would fulfill my purposes. I'm trying to use the NAS for file storage, virtualizing OSs, and hosting a media server like Plex. I was thinking of getting a 4-bay server and filling 2 slots with 16TB 7200RPM drives so I have both adequate size and future upgradeability. It's also not required, but being able to have an NVMe drive as a cache would definitely be nice. I have heard that the DS923+ is a solid option but If anybody knows of any systems as well as drive options that would work well for my purposes i'd appreciate the advice.

Howdy! I plan to run a Minecraft server on my windows PC for some friends... but I want to do it safely. Some people recommend Cloudflare, and some people recommend a VPN or some just using a firewall with exceptions for the Minecraft port. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of how to safely port forward it? My initial plan was to port forward a VPN as I would also be running a homelab with a NAS and a couple other resources I'd like to access outside of my home network, but some people say it's still not safe and I just want to know the opinion of someone who has done similar themselves and could give me advice. Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon LTT Community, I come to you looking for some guidance I'm looking into purchasing a server for my medium / small business in order to act as our Quickbooks Desktop hosting server and be able to access it anywhere, I'd like a server to be able to handle at least 30 simultaneous RemoteApp users running Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise as well as 10 users on the local network. I'm familiar with running shared access on a local network from a regular pc, but deploying this kind of solution is completely foreign to me and I don't know where to start, specially when it comes to the equipment since I want the operations to run as smoothly and reliably as possible. Budget is not a limitation but I'd want something that could suffice my current demands and with upgrade options for the future. Looking forward to the replies, Thanks!!

I just bought a server from Lenovo. my current desired uses are. NAS (TrueNAS/OMV/Unraid). host Games like 7days to die, minecraft modded, Palworld Drive-like Software (like Nextcloud files). To eventually share files with my friends or between my devices. Photoprism. To back up my photos and videos from my phone and my family. Media Server (Plex or Jellyfin). I would like to perform well on the transcoding of 4K media. Radarr/Sonarr. An automatic media download service to feed my media server. Adblocker (Pi-hole). An instance of Pi-hole for my local network. VPN Hypervisor. Proxmox to deploy some personal projects/containers. Any monitoring service to review that everything is running smoothly. Seedbox possible AI model training in the future Some way to share some cpu and gpu power for my friends with really old hardware but good internet? Most of the list comes from this form post, but shares similar uses. Overall here are my specs. I wasnt really sure if i missed anything id need to even have it run after installing an os.

Hey guys, I’m upgrading from 256 gigs to installing 8x128GB 3200 MHz ram into my Asus WRX80E Sage and for some reason 7x128 posts but installing the eighth causes the motherboard to cycle codes, I’ve seen C2, 66, 44, 01, dE, etc. it doesn’t matter the stick or the slot, as long as 7/8 are installed it works. I’ve removed all my GPUs say for one output and I’m thinking maybe the motherboard is still trying to recognize all 8 slots so right now I’m waiting for something to happen. The VGA light is on right now…

Budget (including currency): 16,000 GBP [Ideally under] Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily Deep Learning on image data, Frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow Other details: I have two systems spec'ed out from a workstation vendor, and I am looking for advice on where I can save some money.

Budget (including currency): 5000 DKK/700$ Country: Denmark Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: The server would be run 1-2 gaming server(from Minecraft to ARK) at the time, plus storage of photos and other files Other details: I am new to the building of server and what system I should use on them, so I am looking for advice on what parts would be a good fit and the same for what kind of system is a good choice for a gaming/storage server. As of now I been looking at using the case Core 500 or Node 804 from Fractal Design, and for the other parts the only thing I know there is needed are at minimum 32gb of ram. For the storage I have been thinking of having minimum 5tb for storage and been thinking of either raid 1 or raid 10. For those who use the time to help, many thanks

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a good day! I am looking for some advice on what I should do regarding potentially renting a new server and reconciling an existing one I already have. My reconciliation plan however means I am going to be treading into territory I am not so familar with. I will try to keep this brief as best as I can while hopefully providing the full picture of my thoughts anyway. I want as much feedback so if my idea is stupid or if there are other ways I can go about tackling it please let me know! So I currently have a cloud Linux VPS which comes with Plesk preinstalled as a bundle deal. I pay £28.80 a month for this service and I don't get the full value of this setup, the spec for this is kinda overkill for my use case. This server spec is 6v cores from an Intel Xeon Gold 5120, 12GB RAM, and 240GB storage. I only use 5% of the CPU, 1.8GB of RAM, and 40GB (most of this is probably system files) of storage which means a lot is left on the table. The reason for this spec is a whole other story but we move on. I also occasionally rent shared game servers such as Minecraft, Valheim, Palworld, and others but this averages about £15 when I do this. I don't normally have multiple of these at a time so I am constantly back and forth with setup etc. I'm probably a host's worst nightmare because of my indecisiveness. So I roughly end up paying around £43.80 a month in total. My plan/idea is to do away with the above and get a more powerful dedicated Linux server to combine my two use cases and since I will have full control I can turn game servers on and off as I please without canceling and buying new games servers so I will also save money. I was going to go with a Hetzner server because I've used them before for past projects and I know they have some good pricing and good deals on Plesk License prices too. However, these servers have always been Windows as I don't know much about Linux. So the two options I narrowed it down to anyway were to go for either (prices converted from Euros to Pounds): AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 64GB RAM, 512 GB SSD + €11.76 Plesk License = £53.84 Intel Core i5-13500, 64GB RAM, 512 GB SSD + €11.76 Plesk License = £55.07 What I need help with is: Would it be wise to run Plesk and Pterodactyl together on these server options? (I want to install Pterodactyl to manage the game server-side) Would you recommend this solution to someone who has 0 Linux knowledge but is willing to learn? Which CPU would be better for my use case? The i5 has a higher CPU Mark score than the Ryzen 5 but I know that doesn't account for everything. I picked their Falkenstein (Germany) location but that does add some cost. Do you think I could get away with the server location being in Helsinki (Finland)? Is there a better solution to this? I'm open to ideas.

Hello dear LTT subscribers, i have been trying to setup a gaming server for Point Blank but all attempts failed as im simply incompitent (Requires knowlage of C+ and Java). A game that is no longer offered in North America. While it remains active in Latin America, Philipines, India and Russia, ping is shooting to the moon. Im seeing if SantaLinus and his team of network-filmmaking elfs would take on this project. What is Point Blank: FPS that is ideal for cyber sport, while it is not as famous as CS:GO, a chunk of gamers who played both would rather play Point Blank because its simple and pure skill based. Note that some pay to win is present (as that is how game makes money), with some work same can be acheaved. What Happened: Game was equiped with poor anticheat system, in 2015 RageGame realized that the game is dieing down and has been sold this project Zepetto. New owner provided terrible to no support and did not invest into anticheat system. As a result Project has shut down in North America last year and it seems that it will remain closed. How far did i get: When i recived notice of hosting termination, i emailed Zeppeto several times, asking if i could take it on and keep the game alive paying for game hosting to one of the hosting providors, hoping to get official server files, no response. (in addition to that i ended up going student broke, lol), I didint give up and after hours of research on ragezone (mmo development community) have brought me to either a localhost gameplay with no way of other players to connect or a gaming server with lots of problems, either way i could not provide a good anticheat support. while server runned poorly on v41, after the update to v42 i could not get it working at all. Here is the link to best server i could find on ragezone (http://forum.ragezone.com/f906/tutorial-instal-pbrcrossv42-server-jre-1149007/) To conclude, i tried to revive a game i really like, contacted the company that does not provide support and have greatly failed. Now looking for someonle to take this on and get it to a working condition. I mean there is a minecraft server hosted by Linus Media Group, so there is hope. Thank you in advance. VB. P.S. i can provide the server copy i have if Linus or someone trustworthy contacts me, will not post here as it has my ip address in it. all those things can be found at ragezone

In the past week I was using tailscale but the speed is so slow, is there a better alternative? Easy software to setup with faster connections. connections that would be reach my internet speed limit (about 50Mbps download, 10 upload)

Need new am4 cpu for unraid My 3800xt seemingly died. One board it posts but no usb work. Other board no post gets stuck on vga but displays an underscore in the upper left corner. My 5800x3d is currently chilling in the server and the gaming rig is down with the 3800xt. Both boards are x570. Msi in the gaming rig. Asrock in the server. I'm looking for a replacement cpu and eyeballing the 5950x. My server has a few roles from plex to a windows server to a minecraft server.

Budget (including currency): N/A Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Media streaming, file hosting, Minecraft Server Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hardware: Dell r900 16 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7330 @ 2.40GHz (4 Sockets), 128gb of RAM Built in iPERC 6 Raid controller x2 2tb SAS SSDs 2.5" (only work with raid controller) x2 2tb SAS HDDs 2.5" (only work with raid controller) 10gb TP-Link TX401 pcie NIC 1tb Crucial SSD 240gb SanDisk SSD 10Gtek PCIe SATA Card 4 Port usb 3.0 pcie card (probably will remove) Corsair CX-450M PSU (Using PSU to power SSDs and pcie cards as server doesnt have extra power plugs. I have a 1000w PSU on stand by if GPU needs more power) Palit GeForce RTX 4060 Dual (this is the GPU I want to get as it's a x8 slot card and I want the server lid to be able to close so a x8 to x16 adapter will not work) I have this server and I want to turn it into a media hosting server as well as maybe consolidate a few single use systems I have into VMs on the server as well. I currently have a single computer NAS running TrueNAS which currently stores my personal media as well as my media for video editing and photography. The other computer is just running a minecraft server on ubuntu. So if I could not only consolidate those two PC into this server but also add a GPU so I can stream my video catalog (maybe 1440p60fps and possibly 4k60fps in the future) throughout my devices in my home (I'm guessing this is where Plex or Jellyfin would come in). My GPU choices are limited due to the x8 slot situation I mentioned in the hardware specs. From what I understand I will use a OS like Proxmox to run my VMs (NAS, MinecraftServer, Media hosting for streaming). I'm fairly new to Proxmox but I've been playing around with it but if anyone is a Proxmox Pro please dont hesitate to add your 2cents! In my research I've also see that docker would be ideal to tie these things together? I'm not sure but I know if I have to use docker then TrueNAS isn't compatible or so my research has proven. And don't get me started on using raid controllers with NAS software. I get places that say you shouldn't and some say that you can now and that information is outdated. So I'm also trying to figure out how to incorporate using the SAS drives up front. So to wrap is all up how would you configure the setup? Am I on the right trail to meet my end goal? Is proxmox what yall would use? Is Docker an important role to make this work? Is TrueNAS gonna work w/ Docker if I need Docker and if not what NAS OS should I use? Is Plex or Jellyfin the way to go? Do plex and jellyfin run on their own VMs or do they run as containers (this part I'm still learning in Proxmox)? Will the built in raid controller virtual drives created from the sas drives work with not only a NAS software but work within proxmox as a VM?

Howdy guys! This is my first time using a forum for tech help, apologies if this is in the wrong area but i need some help. I'm currently turning my previous pc into a server to store files for my photography business. I've watched the LTT video on this to gain the basics and I'm also watching a few Network Chuck videos to help me understand it all. Essentially what I've done so far is setup a cloud flare tunnel and installed File Cloud to try to route that externally so i can access the server files from anywhere that has an internet connection like dropbox or google drive. However the issue I'm running into is that in order for me to download the docked drive using File Cloud Drive is that I've had to register a record on the domain to make a redirect link to the server. I've gotten the drive docked using the redirect from the record on cloud flare but correct me if I'm wrong i believe that link is only accessible though my home network and not when I am out and about. I need to locate the servers local IPV4 address and port to tie to the tunnel for internet access but I have no clue on where to go to access that information. any help on how to get this done would be absolutely amazing. Thank you guys!!!

Greetings! As the tittle suggest, I want you guys to give opinion about it for research purposes, especially doing experiment around building "almost all in one mini homelab server" and probably gonna mass produce it if thats viable. I also have some additional question regarding it, which is: If quad core with Hyperthreading (4C/8T), is enough, what kind of task you run on it? Do you prefer 6C/12T or even 8C/16T option with more steeper price? If the product is built like an mini PC (like those AliExpress multiport x86 router), what built in I/O your expect from it? Do you guys prefer more expansion option or more built in I/O with some price increases? For example, either more M.2/PCIe expansion or built in 10GBe/SFP+ Do you think video transcoding is a bonus or must have on this thing?? The performance is ranging from mobile Renoir (Zen2) to Cezanne (Zen3/3+) and its intel equivalent (15-35W TDP). Thank you in advance for your opinion!

I was given an HP ProLiant ML330 G6. This is the first server that I have ever messed with, and I don't know what's going on. I believe I have everything connected correctly, but it will not power on. Do you have an idea of what it could be that is causing that? Also, I don't even know what I'm going to do with this thing. Do you have any ideas as well?

Hi all Im working on an HP ProLiant DL385 Gen 7 for work as a project. It is currently unused. It was reported some years ago (before I started ) that there was Malware on the Server. Is there a way to check if this is true and even if I reinstall Windows Server 2019 R2 on it - will it be safe to use? Any help would be appreciated Cheers! Shane

I'm in the process of setting up a security camera system for my new house and could use some expert advice. I'm considering going with Ubiquiti, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to the technical details. Here's what I have in mind: 1. 1 camera for the balcony 2. 1 camera for the parking area 3. 2 cameras facing outside the home Total 4 cameras running on PoE 4. Wi-Fi extenders/mesh running on PoE to cover areas with weak Wi-Fi signals My house has LAN sockets in every part, and I'd like to keep the footage recording locally. Could you please help me with: - What specific Ubiquiti products should I consider for this setup? - Do I need to pay a monthly subscription fee to Ubiquiti after purchasing their equipment, or is it free for a lifetime? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Hey so I recently acquired a really cheap dell r710 server. I got it turned on it runs windows server 2003 r2 sp2. I was never given the username and password. And I was wondering how I can change it or bypass so I can use the sever?

Hi, as the title states I'm looking for the files to do a bmc update on an old intel s2600cp board. I'm unsure whether it's a cp2 or cp4. Unfortunately it's discontinued by intel and they've only put the BIOS update files on their website. If anyone has them or know where to get them it'd be greatly appreciated. By the by, the reason for me needing the update is that since one of the CPU's are faulty and I've taken it out, the fans are stuck on max speed at all times and I need that fixed, so if ya'll have any other way of fixing that issue I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
