Same here. 300w with 12 disks, switches, and router. But electricity only costs $.12/kwh. I wouldn’t trust having terabytes of data in the cloud.

Meh, I no longer participate but it still had a huge wealth of knowledge. Only time I end up on it is from a search engine.

Not dns then. For some reason you can’t reach the default gateway

can you ping 8.8.8.8?

In the UI, go to your host -> system -> network and confirm that you have a default gateway set.

Can you link the 4 bay that you have. I’ve been thinking of getting a 4+ bay recently but have no idea where to start.

Does that still allow other Plex users the ability to play remotely without having to use Plex relay?

I agree on this comment. I run a couple of these and they work great. If you want to go even cheaper I have setup my sibling with this one running proxmox with a Plex and WireGuard lxc and an HAOS vm. It will hw transcode just fine as long as you are the only user.

Love proxmox. Been using it for nearly a decade and while it has its pain points it has been rock solid for me for the past 4 years.

I have the same SSD thought, except every time they come down HDD prices also go down.

Personally I don’t think I will be getting anything over 5gb fiber so as long as it can do 10gb combined then it should be okay.

I think I like this option the best. I’ve got a month before I get back home and have the fiber installed and the shipping from Ali express lines up.

Let’s be real here, for a gas station Casey’s has damn good pizza.

That was my first thought, get a few of them and create yourself a scootermox cluster 😂

+1 this. I went further and have a 3 node proxmox cluster with a mix of beelink and minisforum pcs. If I find that I need more cpu power I can add another node to the cluster and drop the weakest link and proxmox handles moving all the vms/lxcs

At $50 a month using cloud services you could buy a very beefy mini pc but that also means you have to manage it. I’d say that it took about a month of setting up everything to get to a point where I only log into proxmox ~1-2 times a month.

Thank you for the info. I set my instance up yesterday as well and my goal today was to do this.
