Hey, So I have been looking for a motherboard that has multiple PCIE gen3 x16 slots. i wanted to use a amd ryzen 9000 CPU but at least for asrock server boards they only have a single PCIE gen5 x16 slot. do you know if their is a single HBA that i can use to connect everything to instead of using multiple?
Awesome thanks for the great help! I find it slightly confusing with all the connector types and backplane stuff. This helps out a load. I think I will go for the layout you laidout their.
Thank you! This helps a load. If i understand correctly when you use the oculink it becomes nvme only. and when using the other connector like miniSAS it will work with SATA/SAS instead?
Also I am not entirely sure how the 2 drives in the back are connected I think straight to one of the HBAs?

Opensuse Tunbleweed has some great btrfs defaults. And snapper makes rollbacks a breeze.
Personally using rocky Linux. Which is essentially free rhel. It moves slower then fedora.
Grapheneos with a dedicated profile with those China apps. Dont allow the profile to run in the background. Then just use tor with snowflake or one of the many methods of tor to bypass the firewall of China.
Opensuse TW. It is rolling release and rock solid. Also amazing btrfs implementation.
A VPN is what you want, not VLANS that is used to segment parts of the local network. not to get your friends in too your local network.
A simple and easy to use solution is wireguard easy.
I would say Seagate Exos or Western Digital Ultrastar.
I know that their are great integrations on home assistant to monitor servers. Then you can make your own dashboard as you wish
Frankly i found the Gentoo handbook much easier to follow then the arch wiki at the time I tried both. Just compiling everything takes a while to do.
Might want to take a look at a dedicated backup tool like Borg. It will keep all the proper permissions and file attributes in the backup.
You can try to see which mounts get exposed with
showmount -e IP
To see if the actual shares are working.
Perhaps urbackup? It is suited for multiple different platforms and supports multiple users. I don’t know of it can be hosted on k8s as I am not too familiar with that yet.
Unless you use Gentoo of course
Also need a router that allows for VLANS as well. Otherwise you can not access the other network when your home. As you need routing between the VLANS. Or you can use a L3 switch.
Yes kind of but it is not strictly allowed and can be considered piracy. Their are some tools for this available on github that can save songs as mp3. Then you can play them in any audio player you like. If you want to know the name of one of those tools just send me a DM.
To add to that. With ZFS raid everything is done with software so their is no hardware lockin.
wait so i can use a single HBA and use some of the ports to connect to the oculink ports of the backplane and some for the miniSAS ports of the backplane?
