This seems to be the best option. I’m going to measure the mounting options on the side and look for something that matches up.
No worries, it’s on a shelf right now, the ears are for when I move it to a spare set of slide rails. No weight should be on the ears.
I appreciate your concern and bringing up the potential for issue. I actually have it on a shelf right now and am planning to move it to rails soon. I have a spare set.
The ears are primarily just to keep it in place if I need to do maintenance on the server below it. I don’t intend to put any of the UPS weight on the ears. I should’ve included that in my OP.
My hope is to find something I don’t need to customize, my tools/facilities to do so are limited. I do think I’ll check the screw holes on the side to see if I can find something that will line up.
I’ve tried a few so far and things didn’t quite line up. I’m going to try the suggestion of checking the screw hole distances. Maybe I can find ears for an HP switch that matches.
Same thing happened to me, but with a rosewill case. Luckily there’s a 3d file for my card clip a fan to the heating and keep it cool. Unfortunately ALL the noctuas already in the case weren’t enough. OP be prepared to have a dedicated fan for the card
What about the shields own Cec option? Has it not worked when plugging it in instead of the host’s android boxes?
Not at all! I upgraded the heavy lifters case fans to all noctuas, there’s still fan noise but it’s very easily drowned out. Actually the most noise came from my HAL model. Partly sunny days would trigger its sensor and it’d randomly start spewing lines.
The table (dm) might finally make the switch from roll20 to foundry for a campaign!
I ran into a similar issue when visiting some family. Even though I was connected to home via VPN, my devices wouldn’t pull servers by their IPs. Our networks were setup too similarly. I was able to fix it by editing my conf for the WG connection and added my static servers as allowed IPs. While still having to self host a server for accounting at work, we did a similar split setup so they would be able to use RDP to their desktops but all other traffic was ignored and handled locally. This forum post has pretty good, short explanation with some example config scenarios https://forum.mikrotik.com/t/wireguard-allowed-ips-unofficial-wireguard-documentation/156426
Opinion wise: love unifi for networking equipment. Especially since that equipment doesn’t require the web account. For a Nas, I’m in too deep already, I’ll only use equipment I fully control. I wouldn’t buy a Unifi NAS just like I wouldn’t buy a Synology, but I’ll keep leaning on my Unifi stuff as long as it keeps doing its job well.
As for using TrueNAS w/ZFS at home, go for it if you know and like it! I actually was recently given my boss’s old home NAS that used to run his Plex server. When I got it it was still on FreeNAS (same thing, just a few versions behind) and it’s using ZFS. Worked for him, and now works for me, no problem. Both of us also use Unifi equipment for our networks. The only problems we’ve ever had were our own doings.
Turns out I’m just an idiot. After trying a hail mary test of moving the keyboard nib into the back of the motherboard (again) the keyboard let me navigate through BIOS. Of course, all the USB settings were enabled lol and then I went to check the USB cable coming from the KVM, it had come partially unplugged.
Gotta love good ole user error!
Here’s the method I used from one of the issues on GitHub https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/12925#issuecomment-3516549977
Iirc my docker.socket wouldn’t let me just stop docker.service to edit it as described in the post, so I made /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf with the 2 required lines. After saving it and running daemon-reload I was able to access my containers in portainer again.
You can also add an override for the docker.service file to specify min api version 1.24. Had to do that last night
Terminus is nice and has a lot of platform options. Ive used on an old ipad in the past. If you have several machines, I highly recommend servercat. Works wonderfully on iphone, ipad, and Mac. It also has options to write and store commands to easily send out to any number of devices with a taps/clicks.
As said in another comment a bare metal Debian install likely wouldn’t be very smooth, or you’d have to run it within Android. Alternatively, if you want to run Linux directly on the phone you could try postmarketOS https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_5T_(oneplus-dumpling)
I can’t help as much with the exposing outward (I’m a basic bitch and just use ddns to expose mine since I can’t get a dedicated IP) but a separate vlan with rules to allow your primary vlan devices to see/talk to it, and block it to be able to see out of it’s own VLAN, would definitely be recommended.
Why not split the difference and do both. Hdd for storage and SSD for services/containers. To help with the power load/performance hit I’d recommend using a usb to sata adapter that has external power. Overall though it sounds like a micro optipl x would be great for you. They’re cheap, more powerful, but still sip power, and usually can fit nvme and 2.5" drives together.
Is the Hba in a traditional server case with lots of airflow? My 9207-8i displayed a similar issue bc it didn’t have enough direct cooling (it’s not in a traditional server/case.) it would never show more than 2 drives at a time and they would often vanish. Once I mounted a fan to it, the Hba has been stable and showing every drive I attach
I tell people, like my friend that wanted a bunch of drivel kids stuff, that if they give me 2 hard drives I’ll set them up as their own library.
That’s unfortunate you have to put in a ticket. They should be able to help you with this during a 5-10m phone call. Hopefully they get to your ticket in a timely manner
IT started as a hobby for me. My initial career was digital art/design. When I was 12/13 my dad let me have a pc, that I had to build from a box of scraps he got from work. I kept adding/upgrading that pc until windows pissed me off. Years later I kept it up on ppc and Intel Macs, when I started college. (No degree at all, went to a fancy art school and they ended up killing my program, so I just got a job instead)
I pretty much got my current job by already running a few various servers at home on arm boards and a NAS, helping with basic o365 admin tasks, and being able to crack open/max out the MacPro6,1s at work. I was only supposed to resize art files lol By the time we named a CTO, he just straight up asked me to run IT for him.
