looks good but, any option to add ddr4 16gb ecc ram for use in truenas? any recommendation for that type build.

but something like an amd ryzen V1500B cpu seems good enough and is power wattage efficient

Clockspeed: 2.2 GHZ
Cores: 4 Threads: 8
Typical TDP: 16 W
TDP Down: 12 W
TDP Up: 25 W

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AM...+V1500B&id=4304
https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_embedded/v1500b



heck even a ryzen 3500 is only 60 watt (sure an intel celeron is lower you could argue)

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AM...+5+3500&id=3588

for ecc motherboards, i see asrock, asus, and maybe some gigabytes was the recommendation if going down ecc ram route for an AMD system


useful videos but one of them is 3 years old so may be outdated info

i liked immich

i installed truenas. you can check out my project if you are interested to see what that looks like
https://forums.truenas.com/t/qnap-ts-877-tr...as-journal/1646

for apps like photoprism you can then install as a docker app.

though i prefer immich


uh....4gb is not good enough for truenas, not recommended

did you look at netbird? it also looks like another good option to tailscale


This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: May 14 2024, 06:12 AM

tailscale or netbird are some good options. with tailscale there is a package for pfsense so makes it easier to set it up on the router side if you prefer.

alternatively there is cloudflare tunnels also does not expose ports for remote access. and adds an authentication layer for added protection





for homelab setups you can check techno tim's channel he shows how he does his

some people consider tailscale a privacy issue. so there is headscale for self hosting version of it.

have to take into account of shipping and customs.

packaging should be fine because they are renowned for packing very well. so the question is the price for the shipping + customs. And yes they do ship to Malaysia.


They are a better deal for US because free shipping for them but not elsewhere


the recertified which is cheaper than brand new MIGHT be worth it. yes they are used and recertified hence why they resell at a lower price. But some of these could simply just be drives that are resold once they reach a certain time period of a few years. So the enterprise would sell them off regardless whether they have issues or not. so that is what you are most likely buying.

They have a 2 year warranty i believe, so that is something. But if the drive you get is seagate, i'm not sure the rma is covered by seagate, but is by serverpartdeals themselves directly? i'm not sure. If it's seagate, seagate rma is good with free shipping, if not, then you probably have to pay shipping yourself for rma, which could be problematic.

shopee. but i recently found out that recertified might not be that bad a deal, so that was why i was doing research on it and found that. so just sharing. i mean, for the same price roughly would you rather get 4tb or a 12tb? (both nas 24/7 drives) put it that way

yes recertified but i think it should be fine if it has some warranty and somebody inspected it before reselling. I've had brand new drives that died within 2-3 years, so it's not much difference in that sense



china second hand? i wouldn't risk that. But from a reputable company similar to serverpartdeals i might.

here is another list of apps you could self host
https://github.com/veggiemonk/awesome-docker

this is hardly everything, but it's a glimpse of the kinds of apps you can self host on a nas.

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: May 18 2024, 03:30 PM

any good source for 12tb hard drive for nas? ideally seagate ironwolf? any good reco?

thats incorrect. it was truenas that ditched truecharts it was not worth using truecharts, their packages as badly maintained. Just use docker and get direct from the project on github, copy the docker compose, edit it, then use dockge to deploy it. Easy. Using dockge it can also save your docker compose which is easy to backup.

truenas opted for docker since that is more popular and works out for most people.

but for people that want K3 or other, they still can. a way to do this is via jailmaker. you can then install K3, podman or whatever it is you require.

The default for truenas however is docker. You don't need to run a jail anymore for docker, though you can. Jails are still pretty handy, but for simplicity and if you are using docker, may just be a good idea to use the default.

proxmox is useful if u want to use ur server for more than just truenas. thats one option, personally i never tried that, but i didn't hear bad things about it. just that it's just an additional complexity to the setup

im using dragonfish with jailmaker for my dockers.

tried eel, but it broke my jailmaker from working (but stux who tested it said it worked for him). stux video is how to migrate from jailmaker to truenas native docker support.

jailmaker ended support, so may have to do that in future.

right now eel is release candidate, i would not recommend it just yet.

anyone have any recommendation for 2u case for truenas?

preferably 6-8 hot swappable drive bays 3.5''

and can somehow install 3x m.2 nvme ssd gen4 possibly. Also 1x sfp+ 10g pcie card, 1x graphics card (1050 GTX nvidia)

depth/length for server rack is 550mm

got aliexpress?

however too late alrdy though. already bought. nice but expensive



dont plan to install graphics card anytime soon. using the igpu in the ryzen 7600

for pcie card installing sfp+ 10g 10gtek
