I did finally get ESXi 6.5 (7 didn't work with my older hardware) installed. This project has taken the back seat for a few weeks while I got my garden up and running but now I'm back at it. Over the past few days I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of guides. Right now I'm trying to...

Man! I don't know what I'm doing. I'm trying to learn. This is not my world. Otherwise I'd just use VirtualBox on some Windows install. I have been Googling for HOURS over days. I'm very grateful for your advice thus far. If anyone can point me to a guide I'd love it. I just want to make...

I switched because I hit a wall in importing the NextCloud .ova and was just thinking that ESXi would be easier in that respect. Not so though. It doesn't even have drivers for my HDD controller. I'm happy to use whatever works and am happy to learn. I got stuck at the first command. I think...

Jesus! I went through a very painful process of downloading ESXi (The download button wasn't responding for me in any browser) and now it won't even load! I loaded the .iso onto a USB drive with Rufus and after the boot process I immediately see a screen that says "Remove media and press any key...

Yeah, I just got a second SSD for VMs. Server hardware has been rolling in to my house like a herd of turtles. Shipping is apparently overtaxed these days. I also have all of my RAM installed (64 GB) and 8 x 8 TB HDDs so I'm ready to go. I had already seen that guide. It seems like a bit of...

Yes, yes. How? How do I run a .ova?

Should I just use ESXi instead? That was my plan originally.

Yes. But a few posts up someone said that Proxmox now supports them. Is this true?

I have Proxmox up and running. I got a second SSD for VMs. I have the napp-it .ova and my NextCloud .ova. How do I get them on Proxmox? When I Google "Proxmox .ova" all I find is complicated business. Can I just put them on a USB drive and import them? I'm sort of thinking that ESXi might be...

I have a local and a local-lvm......... I think?

I finally have Proxmox up and running. Now, how do I utilize the rest of the OS drive for VM storage? I only really need to install napp-it.

Ah. That's a good idea about the clones. And I'd love that script. I've watched some tutorials and it looks a little annoying. Thanks again for all the input.

Beautiful! I'll just use an old Intel SSD for Proxmox, napp-it and Pi-Hole. I'll install Nextcloud and Colabra on the array. Thanks for all the great advice guys. Anything else I should be keeping in mind?

I've heard that with Proxmox you can't install the VMs on the same drive as the OS itself. True? If so I'm going to have to get a new SSD just for the VMs.

I haven't ruled out Proxmox yet, haven't really had the time to look into it. Here's what I'm currently thinking about doing: ESXi, a VM for Windows Server 2019 (Does Proxmox have the same hardware passthrough as ESXi? I absolutely need to be able to pass my USB ports to Windows.), a VM for the...

Anyone? Has this forum really slowed down this much since Kyle went to Intel?

I'm not familiar with Proxmox. I'm planning on using one particular VM image that was created with VMWare player. Will that work? I guess an alternative is Hyper-V as there is an image available for that. Is that an option in Server 2019?

I'm trying to get some things set up on my file server and am having difficulty setting up a SSL cert and I believe it's because I'm using PIA as a VPN on my PFsense firewall and No-IP for my DDNS. Am I hosed? I'm not sure if it matters but I'm trying to set up NextCloud and OpenOffice. If this...

Hello all, I just ordered some new server hardware to replace my decade old system. It's got plenty of processing power and about 32 GB of RAM. This server will be used mainly for media, so I don't really need all of the power this thing has, but I'm future-proofing a bit. I need to have a...

WTF!? I almost posted some kind of yawn comment. It's gotten to the point where this is just business as usual. "Several million records said to include bank account details, Social Security digits, wire transactions, and other mortgage paperwork, were found publicly accessible on the server...

Woops. Systems at a number of Baltimore’s city government departments were taken offline on May 7 by a ransomware attack. As of 9:00am today, email and other services remain offline. Police, fire, and emergency response systems have not been affected by the attack, but nearly every other...

The pace at which HDDs are increasing in size in astounding. Here I am thinking that my 8 TB drives are huge. These aren't HAMR either. I wonder when we'll see them in the wild and what they'll cost. Link...

I got the permafix a few days ago. I switched to Chrome. I've been a Firefox user for close to two decades, since is was called Mozilla, but this was the last straw. I had been staying on an older version because most of the add-ons I used weren't supported on newer builds and that's not...

Not working for me. Add-ons stopped working last night. My God, YouTube is Hell without an ad blocker. I'm not using the latest version because of newer versions not working with so many add-ons, so am I screwed? Is it time to find a new browser?

UBNT is ceasing production of the USG-XG-8. I hope this isn't a road sign for further decline in Unifi products. The explanation they give seems a little flimsy to me. We recently made the decision to halt production of additional units of the USG-XG-8 and wanted to explain exactly what this...

Woops.

Terrible quality portrait cellphone video doesn't count! Ever. For anything.

Come again?

I think that the protection offered by most routers would be sufficient. The reason I went with the hardware I did was because Super Micro has served me well. I've never had any of their hardware die and every single consumer motherboard I've owned has died. I wanted something that could handle...

OK. It appears to only keep logs from the current day so I can't see anything from yesterday when I had the issue. I do have alternate DNS providers. I have, in this order, 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4. Should I disable dnssec now or wait until the issue appears again? Thanks for...

Yeah. I'm with you. It's a DNS issue. What kind of DNS issue? Why does it only rear it's ugly head from time to time? What's triggering the problem? Sorry. I'm not up on my memes. Maybe I should spend more time looking at instagram to un-fuck my router?

I have DNS resolver enabled but not DNS forwarder. I have Enable DNSSEC Support checked, system domain local zone type set to transparent and this is custom options: server: forward-zone: name: "." forward-ssl-upstream: yes forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853 forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853 server:include...

It just happened again and I was able to go through this list looking at it on my phone. 1: I can't ping a domain name. 2: I can ping an ip address directly. 3: Which logs should I look at? There are tons of them. I looked at most and didn't really see anything that stood out as pertinent. 4: I...

The blatant racism against the Chinese on this forum is repulsive.

You can couple MPC with avisynth so really it's about as versatile as possible.

Banana hammock.

Configuring the VPN in pfsense wasn't too difficult. I believe there's a really clear and concise guide on the PIA site about it. Pfsense has been fantastic in that respect.

Yeah, that's what I'm suspecting. This whole pfsensse endeavor has been more involved than I had anticipated, unfortunately. I'm going to keep plugging away with it and if these issues continue to stump me I think I'll just get a USG. If it's anything like the rest of their products it should be...

My home automation software and video surveillance software need Windows. Unfortunately.

I had this post of yours in mind when the router flaked out the other day but....... Internet access was, well, I didn't have any, so I couldn't check these items. I have copied the list to a word file and will consult it the next time this happens. Thanks!
