I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
I use grafana that gets data from a Zabbix server and also a proxmox exporter for prometheus, most VM also have a zabbix agent, mainly to monitor disk usage.
Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing....
Zabbix collect all the data (for exemple, cpu usage, memory usage, disk space etc...)
Grafana take this data from zabbix and display it, You can create dashboards with only the useful data you need!
TubeArchivist is indeed "selfhosted youtube" but more importantly it's more of a Youtube Backup, if you watch a lot of content on there, like me, you know that videos gets deleted all the time, and archiving videos that you like is really important (at least if some videos means a lot to you, like me)
And a XMPP server is just a self-hosted messaging/calls service that works like email and is decentralized. I'm not that familliar with it yet, but i'm loving the concept
After thinking for about a year about it I decided to rename the project to 🚀NetAlertX. This will help prevent confusion about which fork someone is using, and differentiate it from the now stale upstream project. With about 1800 or so commits over the stale project, I thought, this project deserved a new name. It will also...
Came across this in-development app, that seems really clean. Is available for iOS/MacOS already. It will be available on PlayStore and Fdroid eventually, but there is an APK for those who want to try it out....
Jellyfin is awesome, and the ecosystem keeps on growing, and I love that, I love to see the community build awesome app! (I've also built a few Jellyfin tools for Linux myself!)
Indeed! I have a lot of SCSI disks, PCI cards and a few cables too! (also, SCSI is fun to pronounce... SKEUZY) but on this server, the RAID card doesn't have any option to create a RAID in its BIOS, from what I can tell it needs a special software and I can't find good tutorials or documentation out there :(
You're missing the point, it's not about using old hardware to daily drive them here, it's for the fun and thrill of discovering ancient hardware, software and technologies! I'll definitly need to see how much power this one is taking tho, but with only 1 out of 2 CPU I'd say around 200W for something this old
In my opinion, selfhosting is also about discovering how (and what) you could selfhost with old hardware and OS, just for fun and understanding a bit more about the history of hardware
But yeah for 24/7 services I have others way more modern servers and also an OrangePi
I would love to actually get my hand on some Sun gear, they look really cool! Or even some Itanium powered servers! This one is an IBM server that I got for free, and exploring the software to use it, is a bit of a challenge and it is pretty different from how you configure server nowadays. (Also, a floppy drive on a server, this is what I call awesome!)
For selfhosting real stuff, I do have modern gear and an OrangePi too!
SCSI is its own thing, to fix some issues with IDE iirc. The drive backplane is directly attached to the motherboard, well, more specifically to the RAID Card on the Motherboard, then the RAID card give the OS/Motherboard access to the configured RAID disk that you have created, but not to the disks themselves.
Hey, it's a 2005 server, it can't do IT mode, it only have Ultra SCSI 70GB drives, a 10 GB nic would be useless (it's only PCI, not PCIe) DDR2 RAM and 1 core processors only too!
I'll probably install a Debian, I had fun trying Windows 2003 Server. It has a Floppy drive too, I'll definitely keep the DVD and Floppy drive in there! (the CD Drive is IDE btw) And you can only configure the RAID array via a CD provided by IBM (No, you cannot boot this CD from an USB key, as the software on the CD is looking for the dvd drive and not an USB key)
Most of everything you said would be accurate for recent servers tho, but not here, not at all ahah!

Hey everyone...
How do you handle family requests that you disagree with?

Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy ( lemmy.world )
6 servers were decomissioned, Iwas able to only get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card....

I have a IBM eServer xSeries 346, does anyone has experience with the ServeRaid-7k, to create a RAID array? Also, you can ask me anything about this 2005 beast! ( lemmy.world )
