Well I've stepped in after 3 iterations of access control. It all use to be IEI keypads and mag locks. Then they swapped to amano, thoes went EOL with no path to a simple upgrade now we run Panasonic software with Lp1501/pl1502 boards from Mercury. I enjoy it more than I should. But every chance I get to tear down and rebuild a box I take the chance

So with a bit of swapping you could change the fans and make it more quiet, I've done it with many older dells. For the front panel if you get a multimeter you can chase down the traces and find the outputs and solder on headers that will work for your current motherboard. Lastly for the SAS card, I have flash many over the years and have never had one fail. Just take your time and read threw the documents on how to flash and let it roll. Good luck and keep us up to date with what you end up doing

That case is super clean

Good looking setup

Could be me but I do this at a router / switch / vlan level. It also allows for monitoring and delegation a bit easier

Why not a BBS? There is already a unofficial reddit

If it was me I would keep them separated. I mean my dev box and other vms are in a dell r730 and all the storage is being pushed by a i3 8350k. I know the power usage would be more if I loaded the 730 down along side the other vms due to overall heat and processing power used.

Heck yeah man. My first setup was done similarly using a Dell and Windows file share.

Oh that's right, I forgot what you had for hardware

Where can I begin lol, I use tailscale at work and home. Currently have it set at both of my parents house for their android TV " ONN tv boxes" and they both exit out of my house so we can get around the netflix hulu sharing drama. I also keep it on my phone "Samsung" for the DEX feature that allows me to remote into any of my servers either at the office or the ones my friends have allowed me to collocate at their house. I have also allowed friends and fam access to my now Hexos box for their backups and now plex services . I know that the way i use tailscale is just the tip of the iceberg in what it can do , but all i need is it to be simple

In theory could you not add lets say 4x 20tb and then use it for a cold store and move your more active stuff to the 4x8tb as a main pool ?

Tbh I would have used a better PSU, I will change it in the future " 550watt" but i am adding more cards in the computer to add GPu . other than that i cant think of much more i would do

Im Fine with that. I also plan to document and show other things once alpha is released and things are more stable

i plan to do a write up once I get home and swap over hardware to the new case

I'm not totally surprised these drives i have are Old and were the cheapest i could get on ebay. But it is good to know after stressing 10tb that I do have some dying drives and I get notices

Im torn between plex and jellyfin, I do know i will be using my hacked p100 nvidia "mining card " for encoding . it has worked well in the past

Failing drive notifications work lol

well knowing it can be recovered in Truenas + the source of the backup has me covered

My current solution is 2x 12tb in software raid in another box. and if all takes a poop im not worried, it would just be a PITA to bring things back from usb drives and add in the data from the 12tb . Also wanna note that im not scared of the "experimental state "of hex. I know I can scrap that OS build and bring it back to freenas and let it take back over the cluster without any issues.

I want to do this but I also dont want to tear up my storage so it all just stays on disks

I was going to use roadkill back up program to verify everything once it was loaded, but ill have to look into new programs

Ill have to look into this, I usually dont have to worry about it- but i am moving files from 2x 12tb drives to the NAS/ Only plan to do it once now that everything is in order. I have been case modding since 2000. 3d Printers just make things easier, I use to have to do it in all metal and bend cut and make everything

Nothing crashed, it just paused so I had to click try again and it resumed. it just sucks that It should of moved 10tb by now but I have a week left before I get home so plenty of time. And it is a 15x 3.5 and i should have it all filled with some more inside once I 3d print some holders for inside the case

The new hand me down
