The unifi controller is java and mongodb - it can run basically anywhere. The biggest problem seem to be that ubiquiti occationally introduces breaking changes that the various distributions then have to try to work around (sometimess less successfully than others).

I think it's a pretty good balance.

I'm kinda interested in Switch Flex XG. I got 3 machines with dual 10g NICs daisy chained and Linux IP forwarding on the middle one. Just pumping it into a regular switch would make my life easier. I don't know of any other prosumer 10G copper switches.

TpLink and Netgear seem to make 5 and 10 port 10G copper switches. Seem to be in the 300-500USD range. Unmanaged which sounds fine for you. Presumably the ubiquiti one will also work fine unmanaged out of the box too.

Just pumping it into a regular switch would make my life easier. I’ve got a couple, they were kind of a mess from September or so up until the last firmware update, there was some bug in the firmware that was causing weird ping spike/lag issues if it was connected to another flex xg, so you had to run the pre September firmware. All good since the last update in march though. can read about it here if you’re interested: https://community.ui.com/questions/...63-1e409dd5f949

Power cycling the unit has magically made all disks operational (after some tinkering since it didn't like going from four to zero disks) with no visible data loss. I'll keep it running as is until it melts. Hopefully it will last long enough for wifi7 to be available so i can replace everything to remove the dependencies on the nas(maybe i'll search for a router with vpn packages so i can skip the raspi).

I solve the second by running a cron job that starts a docker container of yt-dlp once a day that downloads anything in a file using the settings: --download-archive youtube-dl-archive.txt -a playlist-dl-channels.txt first saves the IDs so it doesn't pick it up again next time, second is the file to take the list of URLs from.

I'm still chasing a high performance NAS setup for editing video from. I think I have the hardware figured out, my problem is that I have a mixture of 1TB and 500GB SSD SATA disks. RAIDZ seems to want to use all similarly sized disks, and most JBOD solutions seem to not split data over different drives, which results in read speeds limited by the speed of a single drive. I have recently come into a decent used gaming PC (i7-6700K, 32GB RAM) that can accept M.2 drives, so I have the option to do that if I want to as well, along with throwing a SATA card in it to take the disks. I also have a 10Gigabit link that can go between the NAS and my editing PC, so I'm thinking of connecting the two over iSCSI? Is truenas the solution for all that? If so, what is the best way to set it up to use differently sized disks? I also have an option to throw all of that out and put the drives in a Synology DS2419+ that has a 10Gbit SFP+ card in it, but no NVME capability unless I buy their adapter card for it. So do I build my own thing with Truenas, or just pres the easy button with the Synology? Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Apr 24, 2023 |

KVeezy3 posted:Looking for a storage solution in the ~50TB range. Is going Synology a bad idea? I'm specifically curious about the DS1522+. I'm not too concerned about budget, but value. Synology is analogous to Apple in certain ways. They want to lock you into their proprietary ecosystem in favor of a hands-off "it just works" experience. That's good for people who don't want to tinker at all, but you're getting less computing power for your money. Whether that makes Snyology a good value is in the eye of the beholder. The other route would be to get a used tower and/or some used parts and put together your own machine running TrueNAS, Unraid, or Ubuntu. That setup would be more flexible, and much more powerful, at the same price point. It would require more learning, but the stuff you'd learn would be much more valuable and transferable than learning how to use a Synology box. After it's all set up, there is very little computer janitoring required to maintain things regardless of OS. Also Synology isn't compatible with ZFS, aka god's file system, which is the best for storage and backup. But BTRFS, which is supported by Synology, has a lot of the same features. In essence, Synology = a little easier, and almost as good. But not that much easier, and not quite as good. Beve Stuscemi posted:So do I build my own thing with Truenas, or just pres the easy button with the Synology? Unraid is the OS that best handles a mess of drives of different sizes. But if you're talking about 1tb or 500gb drives I would seriously question the effort and complexity of this operation. You could buy two medium sized drives like 4-8tb and mirror them for something that is much simpler and a lot less of a pain in the rear end. See my other response in this post for my general thoughts on Synology vs other options. But since you already own a tower that's plenty good enough for a server, I would lean against Synology in your particular case.

You could see how a 4x1TB + 5x500GB + 5x500GB (each a raidz1) pool performs? I believe it will balance usage to keep them at roughly equal fill levels, so vdevs with more free space see more writes - but they're not wildly mismatched so maybe it'll be good enough?

I’ll give that a shot. Normally I’d feel like it’s a bad idea to use this many disks, but they all probably draw less power than one spinning disk anyway

It's night-and-day compared to when I was fussing around with OpenMediaVault and Portainer. I had an issue with setup where my NVME kept failing but it wasn't Unraid's fault that the motherboard put its NVME slot on the back right up against the bottom of the case.

I took the auto update one step further and have the appdata backup running daily and then it upgrades the docker for me after the backup. Kills two birds with one stone. UnRAID has its problems and if speed is your big concern then it's probably a no go but goddamn do I love it for what it does.
