I personally would go the other way, use your nvme for storage and have a second small drive for proxmox since that part doesn’t really need speed. That said, if you go with zfs replication it doesn’t matter; just have the one nvme drive that holds the proxmox install and the storage pool. Separate drive only matters for Ceph.

That depends on what level of HA you want to end up with.

If you want proper HA, you’ll want to plan on adding a (small, like a Raspberry Pi) third node for quorum. If you are already taking backups and you just want “I can restore on the second system” then it’s slightly simpler, but mostly the same process:

• Setup new node, add to cluster
• Migrate all VMs and LXCs to new node
• Remove and upgrade other node
• Add rebuilt node to cluster

If you’re planning on proper HA, I’d strongly advise having the proxmox installation on a second small drive on each node and leaving your 1tb drives as data only.

This article half-explains one option for a two node setup (zfs replication), which is functional but not ideal. If you want to get your feet wet with Ceph then I can give you some pointers.

There are a few ISPs in North America that support ipv6, but many many don’t. As much as I detest the recent push toward “5G Internet to the Home”, it at least does increase adoption of IPv6 since (from what I understand) basically all mobile carriers are v6-only and do NAT64 for v4 support.

I don’t know if that translates to the 5G-at-home offering but it wouldn’t surprise me since most customers don’t care what address scheme is being used as long as Netflix works.

Go watch the Aging Wheels Silverado EV road trip video. Charging infrastructure is fine, and even when the truck itself broke and wouldn’t charge at the proper speed it was still fine.

EVs aren’t being adopted because the fast charging infrastructure is lacking. Improvements can be made, sure, but that’s not the reason. 95%+ of people do not need fast charging.

When (slow, 120 or 240V) charging is more available to people without garages/driveways (read: at apartments and in workplace parking lots) you’ll see EV adoption in the US ramp up substantially: new car buyers will opt for the thing that’s less likely to suddenly cost double-per-mile next week, and used car buyers will have an increasing supply of 3-10 year old EVs to choose from.

yeah but then you’re interacting with oracle

Why use netcat when you can just tap the bits into an ethernet cable with a bench power supply like a telegram operator?

The FUTO guide is extremely detailed, accurate, and accessible. It does not always follow best practices, and it’s not a comprehensive guide to all of the possibilities for self-hosting. It’s not trying to be. It is a guide for someone with no technical expertise (but with basic technical ability) to degoogle/deapple themselves at a reasonable level of cost and effort.

You do not have to do everything in the list, you can pick and choose the parts you’re interested in. That said, I would recommend reading through the whole article as you have time, because it does a very good job of explaining the concepts involved in building a self-hosted setup, and understanding how everything works is the biggest step toward being able to effectively troubleshoot problems when they inevitably crop up.

If you have specific questions about things that aren’t answered in the guide or via a quick web search, post them here.

Thank you for the detailed write up. I’m going to give this a shot and see if I can save myself some space.

I’ve got TrueNAS running on a reasonably recent PC but not a ton of space on the drives. I’d love to transcode the handful of 8GB+ movies and 40GB+ seasons sitting around taking up space. How complicated was it to set up tdarr and how long does it usually take to transcode?

I can attest to projectivy and smarttube, they are great. I went with the internet’s recommendation on the $20 Walmart/onn Google tv 4k box, with projectivy as the launcher instead of the default.

My only gripe so far is that the remote doesn’t seem to consistently turn the box on, I have to go unplug the box every so often to reset it. probably some misconfiguration that’s making it not wake from sleep correctly.

Despite that issue, 10/10 experience: ad free YouTube, fast jellyfin in 4k, fully customizable ui…
