He just told you. Assign VLAN on each individual port on your switch. Done. If your switch is unmanaged, then you need a new switch to support VLANs.

Also -1 for netdata. I loved the analytics but it brought all of my VMs to a screeching halt. It did not seem very will optimized for the amount of data it was polling.

Yes you can. It requires those docker containers to be installed and plugged into it on a stand alone system. This is exactly what HAOS is doing behind the scenes for is users and why many stick with it.

Yeah it’s near impossible to block on streaming services because most of the ads are served up from the same DNS locations that the watchable media is hosted on.

What makes it better other than the UI? I’m weary of using it because it is developed by Russian developers.

This is the way. My setup is very similar except I only use authentik for Nextcloud. I don’t expose my “arr” services to the Internet so I don’t feel it necessary to put them behind authentik, although I could if I wanted.

Using Duo’s free 10 personal licenses is also great as it can also plug into authentik for MFA through the solution.

I backup my ESXi VMs and NAS file shares to local server storage using an encrypted Veeam job and have a copy job to a local NAS with iSCSI storage presented.

From there I have another host VM accessing that same iSCSI share uploading the encrypted backup to Backblaze. Unlimited “local” storage for $70\y? Yes please! (iSCSI appears local to Backblaze. They know and have already started they don’t care.)

I’m backing up about 4TB to them currently using this method.

I’m sure you know this, but snapshots are not backups!

Very cool they’ve added an interface to connect a peripheral that can have one though.

Not sure why they are bothering with this, it will likely get DMCA’d, especially with the news from last year on the series. I partook in this survey and it heavily leaned into questions regarding a potential remake.

As this is a sound suggestion, this is probably not suited to this users needs right now and he should start small. I started my home lab by deploying Pihole on in podman on a virtual machine in my VMware environment and even that had a little learning curve for me as a network engineer. If he wants to tackle pfense at some point, then migrating Pihole via gravity sync should be a cake walk.

Thanks for all you do!

This is my main reason for not using them. I have two Pihole servers running gravity sync, unbound and wireguard on each and VPN my phone back home for self hosted DNS resolution and ad blocking.

To the Usenet!

I bought into it last year wanting to get my feet wet. There’s a small learning curve to get set up, but I’ve switched over my sonarr\radarr instances to use it over torrent trackers and I’m amazed at the content out there (and how fast it’s available).

I’m currently looking to replace my QNAP. My current unit is the second unit I’ve had of thier that has failed due to motherboard or processor failure and I’m sick of dropping $$$ each time they fail on a replacement unit to keep my data.
Next time my $$$ is going to a self built truenas server, at least this way I have control over replacing bad components and not reliant on a third party. It took 1 month to get my repaired unit back and data restored because the RAID was lost.

For a NAS it’s very important because ECC allows write-back to your disks from cache in the event of a power failure. Without this, your data is at risk of being lost or RAID corrupting if you don’t have battery backup and\or your battery backup fails during power outage.

I’m looking at building my own truenas server since my rack is only 22" depth, but I want a 12 bay hotswap array. Very challenging to find an matx board AND chassis that can fit the bill.

In kbin if you updoot it, it will show up in your profile. Not sure if there’s another way in kbin atm as I’m still learning
