I’d advise to use headscale on a vps somewhere. Its tailscale but selfhosted.

Jeaaaah I made the mistake of building everything myself. 1.5 years and counting and I have no working environment due to free time constraints.

Buy a nas. You’ll be up and running much quicker. Build a separate server instead. Look for low powered intel NUCs and run portainer or proxmox. Or both. Use rsync or nfs to backup relevant data to the bought nas and use Infrastructure as code/gitops to configure the NUC.

Thanks for your reply! Very helpful. The image I grabbed from the offial docs here: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mkfs.btrfs.html#mkfs-section-profiles

I’ll do some testing with raid 1 to see if it behaves as I expect. The only way to be properly sure i guess.

Hey thanks! Thats it. mkfs.btrfs fixed it. Its weitd though that the other disks were recognized correctly.

Now I can go and experiment with raid setups

Ah my apologies, I used the word formatted incorrectly. I use parted to do: ‘’’ Rm 1 Mkpart primary btrfs 1 3,6T ‘’’

Parted then shows the btrfs filesystem. If I then quit and look at ‘lsblk -fs’ it shows me the table in my post. I think I do this right. Im going to remove the disk and see how it behaves on another pc.

Thanks, however language by its very nature is dynamic and changing. If enough people use adhoc in this way it will mean spontaneous ;-).

Care to try and answer my question?

Jeah! Cable fixed it!

Hey thanks for the rant! Very informative. I agree that one should know the fundamentals and not just focus on the cert. I need the cert for my career though. As I always say: Certs are for managers. Any half decent technical knowledgable interviewer will suss out if you know your stuff.

I’m doing microtik training in the autumn to get my network knowledge up. (Why do cisco if networks have standardization). I need the study guides or other resources because they ask about commands I rarely use, or if I use them its only one or two specific commands (i.e. i use ip addr but rarely ip link or ip netns. But having the RHCSA/E checkmarks next to your name does wonders for your marketability. ($€₱£¥ ;-))

I’ll drop you a dm for that copy.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll check those out :-).

Ordered a new cable that was the exacg model from intertech that they recommended. I’ll let you guys know how it went.

Good to know! This might be it. I thought SFF-8087 was the spec of the cable, but its the connector!

Hey thanks!

This is a great idea! I’ll try it this weekend. I’ll let you know.

Jeah, the drives work confirmed. The drives are sata, the backplane has sas out which splits. The manufacturer explicitly says this works. Sooo i gues? Like you I am no expert and just do as i’m told :')

They said “It’s not just about open source”, implying that its about both open source and about the mentality, just like you said.

I use flatpak. Problems for me include the lack of package signing like the standard repos have.
