Cum arata home serverul vostru?

Vezi r/homelab . LE3: am avut synology DS920+ dar era overkill cu Home Assistant in Synology (6GB ram se evaporau practic). Iar Plex in Synology la un film 1080 e o gluma, daramite sa pui un 4k mai ales ca nu are placa video dedicata. Eu am server sh cu 64GB ECC cu Intel cu 10 coreuri si 20 Threadur

How are y'all managing your photo libraries?

Did this as well. I got a synology 920+ with two 10TB drives. Have been using them for 3 years. It also doubles as my Plex media server as well. Worth the 700 or so upfront cost. I'll probably add two more 14TB drives at the end of the year.

Bought a SSD for 1300$ last week. Order got canceled because they were "out of stock". They're suddenly back in stock for twice the amount (2880$). Thanks a lot AI buble...

If I'm not mistaken, there are scripts to get rid of the Synology requirement. But it's some BS that Synology still requires branded SSDs. When I upgrade from my 920+ it's not going to be a Synology NAS.

Time Machine solutions for near future

Synology NAS hardware works with Time Machine over the network. Buy a Synology case, drop a suitable drive or drives in it and after a few minutes of setup, you are ready. They even support cloning the data to cloud storage for automatic offsite backups - for an added fee of course. Most NAS support

DS920+ to what?

We also have a 920+. It is up to date and will receive full updates for quite a while, no end of live is announced for it and once it is announced, Synology typically provides security updates for another 2 years, so use it and enjoy it until further notice. If you only use as backup file server, Sy

Best way to keep local backup of iCloud storage?

I actually use 2 - I have a DS718+ and a DS920+. A little clarification from my comment might be needed. The Mac needs to be running to get backed up, but all the other cloud backups happen without any intervention from a computer. To set it up, a computer would be easier than a tablet, but it’s pro

Best way of storing backups with a single node?

I have a single PVE node, consisting of a 1 liter/usff Dell Micro box. One m.2 (120GB) for the host OS, one SSD (1TB) for the guest VMs and LXCs. Beyond that, data storage - including backups - is on my Synology DS920+ NAS, over gigabit ethernet. No, it's not the most high performing system out ther

Looking for a NAS for a Plex/Jellyfin server

I run Jellyfin on my Synology DS920+ NAS. IMO, only Synology's plus series of NAS devices (with a GPU) are suitable for a consumer grade Jellyfin server. Among the latest models, only the DS425+ has the GPU needed for Jellyfin hardware transcoding - - that's probably the NAS I'd get if I bought one

4-bay (DXP4800 Plus) or 6-bay (DXP6800 Pro)? Price vs performance?

Just a few days ago I pulled the trigger on the DXP6800 Pro. What a jump in performance from my old Synology 920+. I picked up 2 more Seagate IronWolf drives and now running six 12tb drives in RAID 10. I only glanced at the DXP4800, but I thought if I am going to upgrade then go 6 bay. Nice that the

New home server hardware advice

The ugreen nas option is pretty nice. It has the quicksync support so it will be good for plex transcoding since you have a plex pass. People are suggesting NAS + mini pc because it allows some room for growth. I started off with a Synolgy DS920+ and used it to run plex directly as well as other ser
