I considered this. But unfortunately my meter has a large dial that slowly passes over the numbers, obscuring it. Also it’s rusting really bad.
Do you need to use tailscales server for anything (like certs)?
I want to try to set up a network but prefer keeping everything 100% self-hosted.
I use ZHA and so far everything works perfectly and it’s easy to add new devices. I only really use Zooz products for my zwave network though.
QEMU. Using NAT but it's attached to the host's NIC. I know this is probably what's causing the issue. I'm not sure how to connect it to the VPN.
I’m a massive Nextcloud fan and have a server up and running for many years now.
But I understand all of the downvoted commenters. It is clunky and buggy as hell at times. Maybe it’s less noticeable when you’re running a single user instance, but once you have non tech literate users using it you begin to notice how inferior it is to the big boys like google drive in some aspects.
That said, I personally have a decent tolerance for fiddling and slight frustrations as a trade off for avoiding privacy disrespecting and arguably evil corporations.
I would recommend everybody looking for a gdrive, Dropbox, one drive alternative to at least give Nextcloud a go.
Bingo! Feeling a bit stupid for missing that but thankfully that was the issue and now everything is working perfectly. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I have about 20TB of data on the disks otherwise I would take your advice to set up a different scheme. Luckily, as it's a backup server I don't need maximum speed. I set it up with mergerfs and snapraid because I'm essentially recycling old drives into this machine and that setup works pretty well for my situation.
The proxmox host is the default (ext4/lvm I believe). The drives are also all ext4. I very recently did a data drive upgrade and besides some timestamp discrepancies likely due to rsync, the SCSI semi-virtualized thing wasn't an issue. I replaced the old drive with a larger one, hooked the old one up to a usb dongle and passed it through to OMV and I was able to transfer everything and get my new data drive hooked back into the mergerfs pool and snapraid. I'll do a test and see if I can still access the files directly in the proxmox host just for educational purposes.
I'll try to re-mount the NFS and see where that gets me. I'm also considering switching to a CIFS/SMB share as another commenter had posted. Unless that is susceptible to the same estale issue. I won't be back at that location for about a week so I might not have an update for a little while.
Third time posting this reply due to the lemmy server upgrade.
Proxmox on bare metal. A VM with OMV and a VM of proxmox backup server. Multiple drives passed through to OMV and then mergerfs pools them together. That pool has two main shared folders. One is for a remote duplicati server that connects via SFTP. The other is an NfS for PBS. The PBS VM uses the NFS shared folder as storage. Everything worked until recently when I started getting estale errors. Duplicati still works fine
Looks like my reply got purged in the server update.
Running Proxmox baremetal. Two VMs: Proxmox Backup Server and OMV. Multiple HDDs passed through directly as SCSI to OMV. In OMV they're combined into a mergerfs pool. Two shared folders on the pool: one dedicated to proxmox backups and the other for data backups. The Proxmox backup shared folder is an NFS share and the other shared folder is accessed by a remote duplicati server via SSH (sftp?). Within the proxmox backup server VM, the aforementioned NFS share is set up as a storage location.
I have no problems with the duplicati backups at all. The Proxmox Backup Server was operating fine as well initially but began throwing the estale error after about a month or two.
Is there a way to fix the estale error and also to prevent it from reoccurring?
Underlying system is running Proxmox. From there I have the relevant two VMs: OMV and Proxmox Backup Server. The hard drives are passed into OMV as SCSI drives. I had to add them from shell as the GUI doesn’t give the option. Within OMV I have the drives in a mergerfs pool, with a shared folder via NFS that is then selected as the storage from within the Proxmox Backup Server VM. OMV has another shared folder that is used by a remote duplicati server via SSH(SFTP?), but otherwise OMV has no other shared folders or services. Duplicati/OMV have no errors. PBS/OMV worked for a couple of months before the aforementioned error cropped up.
Also possibly relevant: No other processes or services are setup to access the shared folder used by PBS.
An AI movie would likely be an improvement over the dog shit Amazon and Netflix put out. The streaming services make content chasing algorithms. Sometimes they get lucky and find a legitimately good indie film they can slap their “Netflix Original” branding on. Rest assured they actually had nothing to do with its production and just bought it after the fact. The stuff they produce from scratch is usually the worst.
The issue with soldering I was trying to convey is that it isn’t an ideal process to make connections “in the field”, aka in a tight corner or behind a cabinet. A proper connection is solid, but it’s not feasible to make a proper connection if you’re upside down under a cabinet or standing at the top of a ladder.
