6 years old and running perfectly fine.

I have 5 WD RED disks in a RAIDZ1 config. In the first year I was experimenting with the sleep or spindown options. Then I have read that drives live longer if they run constantly. Now they are spinning 24/7.

The additional SSD has broken and been replaced 2x during these years.

Mods don’t communicate with common earthlings.

Great answer! 😃

How do you insert/eject the discs from a webui?

I want to build a whole new server, starting with a wooden case that makes it perfectly silent (but allows for good air flow).

Btw: does anybody know what bad things actually happen if there is no metal cage that blocks all the radio?

ip 10.0.0.1.1/8

This one was created by AI, right? 😉

I can not get my host node (the one that is 10.0.0.1/8 in vmbr1) to communicate with that NFS share.

Go through the usual debugging steps like:

Can they ping each other? Is the NFS access restricted to certain hosts? Is your NFS mount command correct? Is the service really running when you try the mount?

As I understand it, OP just wants to hide (=remove) the subdomains from the public URLs.

You do not keep the pool, but the data set = file system.

man zfs send

What did you do?

What did you expect?

What did you observe?

It’s an old desktop PC

One (or more) of the electrolytic capacitors in your PSU has died.

Remove the power cord, wait for 2 hours, open the PSU and look carefully for the candidate(s) with the domed head. Healthy ones are perfectly flat on the head.

Order a new one and replace it.

Can I go to my public sites

I would not recommend. Remember, wherever you step, your feet are leaving traces. Your public sites may be a little too publicly well-known afterwards.

and/or VPN into my servers?

VPN’s might not work from there, or the use may be considered a crime.

In that case, your phone needs to “see” at least 4 satellites at the same time (more is even better) to get the first GPS lock, and that’s probably why you need to wait for so long.

It could help to walk to a spot with no buildings, trees etc.

Once there was an app called “GPS essentials” to help with that.

In the other reply, you said something about GPS.

Well, location services aren’t really GPS anymore.

The phone looks at all of it’s radio environment (cell and WiFi and whatnot) and from that it calculates it’s location. GPS may help a little, too, but it’s not important.

It needs Apple’s own databases to do that: collections of all antennas in the world, and their known locations.

True, somewhat… but on the iPhone, many functions that seem like basic things are tied to Apple’s services and cannot easily replaced by selfhosted services. This phone would not work properly anymore.

Yes. Firewalls.

With an iPhone, however, you are screwed. Apple won’t let you do what you are looking for.

You say it is mounted. Then you can share it in all the same ways as you would share any other of the VM’s folders.

I am using SMB shares for that (but that is not always the best way ofc).

recover data from unfunctioned remaining RAID disks due to RAID controller failure

In this case, you need a new RAID controller of similar type.

Can I even simply attach one of the RAID 1 disk to the desktop system

No. One disk out of a RAID array is different from a normal disk.

Recovery becomes easy if you do not use a hardware RAID controller, but a ZFS software RAID instead. It does nearly all automatically. But you need to do a little more reading tutorials for the first setup.

The SD card is broken, but not totally dead yet.

So, decide now if you want to try and rescue some files from it, then DO NOT USE IT anymore until the real data recovery operation starts. No further tries to boot, no fsck etc.

better to pass the individual disks through to the VM and manage the zpool from there?

That’s what I do.

I like it better this way, because less dependencies.

Proxmox boots from it’s own SSD, the VM that provides the NAS lives there, too.

The zpool (consisting of 5 good old harddisks) can be easily plugged somewhere else if needed, and it carries the data of the NAS, but nothing else. I can rebuild the proxmox base, I can reinstall that VM, they all do not affect each other.

Tl;dr but:

If you simply want the best UX, then you need to stay with the real Facebook etc.

They spend millions and millions and millions only for UX. Free software can never compete, period.
