Yea, I use Glacier as long-term storage and backup of last resort. It's for if my house burns down.

If you're into podcasts at all https://selfhosted.show/ is probably of interest to this thread. Difficulty: I'm only two episodes in and maybe it becomes utter trash.

H110Hawk posted:How much data do you have to upload? And why do you care if it takes 90 days if you're presumably doing nothing today? Your NAS will handle it in the background. Will your work care if you sit there and bang off the limiter for presumably 5 days (in my 90 day example, 500 / 30mbps = 16x faster?) If I wanted to sync everything probably 60 TB or so, but the actual amount of data I really really care about is much, much smaller. More a thought exercise than anything else... if it was relatively cheap / they sent you some drives, I'd give it a try, but I figure Comcast would also have something to say after awhile. Running off a fat pipe even on the weekends would help speed it up.

AgentCow007 posted:Are you using HyperBackup? I just set up HyperBackup+B2... I wouldn't mind having a second backup on Glacier, but AWS's pricing for reads and early deletion fees makes me nervous to use automated software with it. I'm just using the officially supported synology glacier tool. I think it's called synology glacier, or something like that I pay like, $2.53/mo, but I only use it as "in case my house burns down, all my kids baby photos are still recoverable" storage, which I'm 97% sure that's the intended purpose If you're going to be using it for medium term storage, or short term, S3 has added additional tiers with more flexible costs. But glacier's not a good choice for that

My 7yo WD Reds are nearing full, 3tb was lots at the time. I've never been the biggest fan of my Buffalo linkstation. Looking at amazon real quick, the kinda prices you'd be looking at for a 4 bay quality NAS I feel I'd be just as well served picking up a used tower and I could use that as my Plex server as well then and just use my Shield as the client. Whats a good spec I should be looking at in terms of the latter usage that will decode efficiently?

bobmarleysghost posted:sweet thanks all, I'll go with backblaze For people who want to back up a ton of data with Backblaze's unlimited plan, you can also still do the trick where you use something like Dokan to mount network drives as local drives so Backblaze's client won't kick 'em out. It also comes with 30 day versioning as part of the price ($6/mo), which is nice.

codo27 posted:Whats a good spec I should be looking at in terms of the latter usage that will decode efficiently? Pretty much anything Ivybridge or more recent that isn't a Celeron / Atom should be more than capable of doing whatever sort of decoding you want, unless you're talking about like multiple simultaneous 4k BDR rips or something. The catch is always on the encoding side--if you need to transcode for any reason, requirements go up considerably.

Any 7th gen intel or newer with the on chip graphic will transcode plex without even breaking a sweat. They are the transcoding hotness. I run plex on a dell outlet 10 gen pentium and use a NAS for storage. It can hardware transcode 15 users and was $300, cheaper then any video card.

H110Hawk posted:https://pca.st/episode/b027f8f9-bae7-4985-90f4-86771377d80c The trick is to ensure that only allowed hosts are permitted to connect via access control lists, and to ensure that the authentication is tied to both a certificate/keyfile and some physical property. One way to accomplish this is to use a (BPF-based) firewall and something to handle blocking on behalf of the daemon that's handling the connections, properly configured port knocking, PAM to enforce TOTP when connecting via SSH (or even locally!), and not permitting passphrase-based logins. That way, if you're using a passphrase-protected keyfile, you get at least three authentication factors:
Similarily, having full system auditing isn't a bad idea, although I don't really know how to accomplish this on production systems without using dtrace and openbsm, which aren't really available outside of FreeBSD (and macOS, I guess - but Apple have basically killed every project that would use it).

BlankSystemDaemon posted:That's not really a tenable solution - especially in these work-from-home times, you have to have some way of remoting in. This is the wrong direction, and I entirely disagree with you. Why does an employee, in their home, need to "remote in" to their home? They need to "remote in" to their employer, who can implement these best practices. Employees on the move should be given corporate laptops and access to corporate resources outside their home.

The implementation is fine, I was just scoped to home users intentionally. In the plex thread I detailed some of how a user might go about it. I still don't, and think most people shouldn't either. Including 99% of people reading this thread.

I'm tired of maintaining FreeNAS on an old PC, so rather than upgrade/reinstall, I am considering just paying some extra money for an appliance such as the QNAP TS-451D2-4G. Any +1s or advice? This will be my first foray into off-the-shelf NAS appliances. I'll be using it for photos/videos/docs/ISOs, and I'll probably set up a backup to Glacier.

Nitrousoxide posted:What is time intensive about maintaining the freenas setup? 4-5 (maybe more?) years ago, I set it up on an old PC I had lying around. The case is falling apart, the fans are breaking, and it's only a matter of time before I need to replace a failed drive. It's sitting in a corner of my living room and isn't attached to any input devices or a monitor, so when it drops off the network (e.g., power outage), troubleshooting is more work than I'd like. I'd also like remote access to my files, the ability to stream shows to my TV/laptop, and a few other features like backup-to-cloud support built-in. These aren't problems with FreeNAS/ZFS - in fact it's been remarkably stable - but my home-grown solution has basically reached EOL and I'm looking at alternatives. Admittedly, if I had a rack in a closet hooked up to the network, a monitor, etc. I would probably build a small server and go the home-grown route myself. But even then, I don't know if I'd stick with FreeNAS because I'd like to set up the whole sabnzbd/etc. thing, and I'd prefer to do that in containers.

Welp. The ancient 1TB drive in my mother's DS115j has poo poo the bed. There's a relatively recent data backup on an external equally ancient 1TB drive. But this being a 1 drive enclosure, the configuration is lost, which is going to be a pain in the rear end. Obviously shouldn't have used drives that were on the wrong end of the bathtub curve at all in the first place. I'm thinking of maybe putting an ssd in there, since there's no need to up the capacity and because it's quieter. My question is if anyone has experience putting 2.5" drives in 3.5" bays. I suppose I need some bracket or some sort of caddy? Anything else I'm not thinking of that wouldn't make this work?

Might be worth considering upgrading to a two bay unit so if a single disk fails again it won't take everything with it. SSDs are way more reliable but they can fail.

A couple of days downtime like we're going to have now isn't really an issue. I just looked it up and it seems you can export the configuration to a file. That's what I should have done and will do in the future. Thanks, both fair shouts though.

As someone who migrated from 9.x plug-ins to 10.x docker support to the 11.x decrepit rancherOS VM generator to now just finally rolling my own VM for containers I hope whatever k8s/docker thing they got going for SCALE works out. Had that lovely rancherOS vm held up another few months I might have just tried migrating to SCALE. At least the compose yamls I generated for rancher mostly Just Worked with podman + podman-compose.

But there's a chance I'll have to talk my mom through putting the drive in there due to covid hellworld concerns, in which case I feel more confident the bracket will provide a more positive "(not) in there properly" distinction, maybe. It's 10€ in any case and shouldn't contain any electronics as far as I understand. Be certain that the 2.5" to 3.5" adapter you get her will orient the disk so the connectors are where they would be on a 3.5" disk if you're trying to replace like for like since a lot of them are just a piece of metal that holds it in a drive bay and the exact location doesn't matter. The NAS might have a solidly mounted sata connector for the disk (I've seen several that do but it's possible it's a cable).

A variation on the "use double sided tape" idea is just to screw in a single screw into one mount hole to hold the 2.5in drive in the 3.5in bay. Basically just keep it from wild movements.
