I work for Trane Technologies!

So I had tried TrueNas and it was cool but just to complicated. Don't get me wrong I liked it and if i wanted to spend the time I would figure it out. In my day job I design and program automation control system for HVAC using PLC like control called BacNet. The company i work for designed a Wrapper to pull in the points from a controller allow you to map it to animated graphics or text and display it in really time in a browser. So this is right up my alley.

I will find out When the other set of 10 comes in I will. have a total of 22 drives in there I think i will destroy the pool and see how it wants to set them up just for fun.

I have a mirror boot drive of 2 800GB SSD's. I then installed 10 900GBB 10K SAS Drives. HexOS set it up a a z1 with 8 Drives and it left 2 spares. I just order another 10 and I will try to enlarge both pools to 10 drives. Might just blow it all away and see what it wants to do with 20 drives. But with the 10k drives the array is fast. Dell r730 XD 26 2.5" drives has 2 in the back 24 in the front.

I currently use Plex. I put my first Plex machine up in 2010 and got on board why back then. Because of that my monthly payment is really cheap has never changed and I get all features. So for me I am staying there. I have tried Jellyfin but it has never worked as seamless for me as Plex. I have the client on my phone and Ipad and it just work anywhere i am at. The last cruise me and the wife went on I had free WiFi on the boat and at night we watch movies from my server while at sea.

I ran a IRC server for years I love it. I also ran some forum sites like this for a while. I use to be a BBS sysop and ran a support site for the Doors I wrote. Those were the day's. I am a Pascal and programmer and ran a site for code for Pascal along with the programs I wrote for Sysops. Did that for 18 years. Still write in Pascal now but use Lazarus.

I use to do a lot of mods with my Uncle on CB's. There was this company can't remember the name but they released magazines that told you how to mod a CB 40 above 40 below and if SSB to slide a whole channel, me and my uncle we lived about 70 miles apart and talked all the time back then. Really miss those days. Tech is great but some of the people I talk to at night and on the weekend were actually better friends that I have to this day.

Yea I was one of those really bad CB boys. I. had a 100ft crackup Tower dual Y quad on top. Collins 30 or 32 i think transmitter and receiver on 11mhz range, The I go one of the Heath Kit rigs transmitter and Rec sets. That was back in the late mid 70's thru maybe 84 and I moved and never lived anywhere that i could put one up..

Based on what I have seen any drives you hook up will have to be formatted so no exiting drives could be imported. But you could build up the server with lets says 3 Hard drives. Then transfer the data then wipe and install the drives into the new server or pull then as external but you will still have to format them. Kind of a shell game. At some point I will be doing that my self.

I have ran it on about 6 different machines now over the years. I finally bought some cheap appliances off Ebay for around 60 each. I installed DietPi X86 version and that has a Text Gui setup for Pihole and Unbound. That let me put one at the rack at each end of the house and NS1 and NS2. You can set one up just like you want and then export the config into NS2. love the setup and this way if I take down the server pihole setup. Also the NS1 in the studio is also setup as my print server. Lanner appliance which is NS2 has 6 ports.

It is a docker program called HomePage. As you can see it has widgets that can be used to pass data like I have on my Pihole DNS on the left side. https://gethomepage.dev/

So one of my main pages I have on my Unraid Server is a default page for my lab setup. In the future this will move to HexOS as the App's list grows. But i could not wait so I create a logo and the temp server I have up on Proxmox is linked now. As soon as my new server comes in I will switch the virtual out to the r730xd. This is the docker app HomePage.

Hello all. I live in Deland Florida, that's north of Orlando. I have been a Technoid for as long as I can remember. My first computer was a Kim-1 that i buillt. I went from there to a Ohio Scientific 6502 machine. I then switched to Radio Shack TRS-80. I ran a Pascal support BBS and wrote door games and utilities for Sysops for 18 years starting in 1984 using RBBS on a Model 1 Trash80. BBS software I used was RBBS, Spitfire, Proboard, AptXbbs (OS2). After moving to Orlando I switch to OS2 for a while, my clam to fame or my stupidity (don't now which to embrace) was that i had 42 phone line BBS in Orlando. I had always been into Linux for years before and it only got worse as BBS system gave way to the internet. I started out as a pipe fitter and controls system specialists. I now work for Trane Technologies and I design and program and commission both software and graphics for HVAC Automation Control system I do work for NASA, Hospitals and Schools. I also am big into music and music production. I toured as a second job when i was young as a roadie for ShowCo this let me work with some really cool bands in the mid 70 thru the late 80's. I ran sound for the USO at base's in IRAQ during the war in 2005 to mid 2007. Got to run sound for Toby Keith and Taylor Swift several times while I was there. I have a small studio in my house that i do mix and mastering for local bands most of my work right now is bands in Europe. Anyone have music they need to master just give me a yell. This is one of the main reason for my NAS systems, backup for my music files and also my media library. FYI The graphic logo is from my studio name I picked Phat Dragon Studios HA!!

Like the setup. I order a used r730XD off eBay for mine and some update CPU's to kick it up. Did you order a flashed raid card for yours or did it have IT mode. I also order a new mini 300 raid card that has been flashed for Unraid and TrueNas, Proxmox mode. Mine I think is like yours has 2.5" HD. Right now I have mine loaded on Proxmox with 4 virtual 500gb drives and its working great.

I had so issue with it being a docker or on my windows machine that I put it on Diet Pi along with pi hole. I just installed in on Debian using the Linux install. Its been up now for 3 months with no issue. Going to keep it this way. I bought a Dell Optiplex 3040 for 40 bucks on Ebay. Using Pi hole its my Unfi Console, Print Server, reverse proxy and DNS for my home system.

I ordered a flashed Dell HBA330 mini monolithic module to change out the H730 SAS/SATA module for one that will work in IT mode ZFS, TrueNas and Unraid. While I was chatting with him he told me about the Dell Slog ZFS NVME card is it worth putting in the server. I not going get it right now but in a few months I might add it.

I have both a Dell r530 and a Dell r710 both have built in Dell Raid Controllers. I had to order flashed replacement controllers off eBay for both TureNas and Unraid would not see the drives until i did this is referred as IT mode. So Hardware raid will not work form everything I have read and seen.

I have had that happen to me so main times that I now cheat. I download DietPi for x86 and put it on a Dell micro pc. After the install you can pick tons of apps to run and they update easy. I have been doing that now for about 3 years or more and. have never had an issue. You can also download it for raspberry pi. Also I actually have to small micro pc's that i have as nas1 and nas 2 in my house doing it this way.

I know your busy but when will the T-shirts and Mugs be coming out.!!!!

I got the change to pick up the above machine cheap and kind of want to play with the Opteron CPU, it has 128 GB ram . Since its a Opteron it does not have hyper-thread but it does have the hyper-link between the CPU's. Think it would be a fun build. I can get it real cheap.

I look the chip up it will do Virtualization but i don't believe any VM would win a racing contests. Docker on the other had should work fine. I am running a older HP micro server which is also 4 cores and its my plex server and it runs fine. If nothing else you can use it to learn on till you get something more powerful. Then de authorize it on the web site and authorize then one.

Are you going to setup a Official Discord site.

So if we setup the server the way we want can we then drop into TrueNas export the config and load that Config into another actual TureNas Sever. I understand that some of the added feature would not work but, it would let you use HexOs like a build manager that would let you set up a site quick. I am assuming you can export a TureNas config. To me that would make it even more useful.

Thanks

Dear Santa Clause Please send me several servers and the same number of licenses for HexOS and I will be a good boy next year.
