You would likely need to build a NAS with a HBA (Host Bus Adapter). I’m not aware of any low-end NAS systems that support SAS

Fuck em

Here is my install script to set up Ubuntu since it has a bit of extra steps for privileged ports https://gitlab.meme.beer/-/snippets/1

Docker compose example, note that my config has a shared network with containers in another compose called nginx to keep traffic inside docker.

The VM is a 6 thread 16gb

OS is currently Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS (cloud image which is lightweight) just running a very simple docker engine install using the script (plus a few other options since I script the install)

The load averages as of this current moment are 0.12, 0.15, 0.10 so not even a full thread is being used.

I let the container run unmetered on the CPU and memory.

I can provide both the compose and my install script (which is on the GitLab instance) if you are curious.

I run GitLab with docker compose and watchtower, all the updates are automated and have never caused any issues for me.

That being said my setup uses about 7-8gb of ram.

I got a home server with a Nvidia Tesla P4, not the most power or the most vram (8gb), but can be gotten for ~$100usd (it is a headless GPU so no video outputs)

I’m using ollama with dolphin-mistral and recently deepseek coder

This is lemmy… Did someone not tell you that?

My go-to for user and group IDs is 1234:1234

Well if you ever do want to discuss it feel free to give me a shout ;)

I have a full rack colocation, been doing colocation for other people aswell

I have it replicated to a backup server then to one in the dc

At home I run my ISP modem with a UDM Pro behind it.

My data center setup is a bit more involved.

I agree, I’m a bit of a different case since I’m also colocating my equipment. I run a UDM Pro for all my IPMI with a VPN into that subnet, but everything else is running with public IPs.

I believe they still sell their domains at cost.

Sweet!

I’ve got a gen3 hyper M.2 but I was looking for something for the 8x slots in one of my servers without needing full height cards.

Do you happen to have a link to those cards?

Uhhhhh, I would need to shell into my host and check what isn’t running…

I have no naming consistency, whatever I feel like that day is what it’s name ends up with.

Wouldn’t recommend running production services on windows.

All I gotta say is my media pool has 3 replicas.

2 at home, 1 in Colo.

I never plan on losing data anymore.

Currently my Plex data is split between my old instance at home which has my watch history, and will probably still use when watching 4k.

The new server is on a 5x 12tb z2 pool, lol.

In total I’m probably around 160-170tb raw storage total.
