Hi everyone
I’m looking to expand my storage. I have a case capable of 8 bays and I don’t think I’ll exceed that soon (currently at 3 drives).
I bought a m.2 slot with a bunch of sata ports on it but it doesn’t work. I’ve researched and read an HBA is a much better solution anyway.
If I’m going to get the HBA I might as well run all 8 ports on it.
Aside from the clearance on the card in the case, are there any other considerations I need to he aware of? I justbeant to get something that works from the get go. For my uses I have a good amount of apps and I stream media from the server

It’s been a while! Let us know what you’re currently working on, what exploded, what cool stuff you found, or just brag that everything is running fine unattended.
I haven’t been doing a lot, renovate auto upgrades for patches and sometimes minor updates work great so far. I got involved in my union to spin up a mastodon server soon, so there’s a new project, but I already run mastodon so it shouldn’t be much of a deal, I just need to get comfortable with the infrastructure. I also set up ntfy but only sent some test notifications and didn’t configure any app yet - planned for Element Chat.
[Meta] I’m not sure how to apply the new tags. In the recent versions of this thread, people sometimes posted about their ollama setup or the like, but I’m not mentioning AI in the post body (except this meta thingy) and it shouldn’t be much of the discussion, but it’s an open post. Maybe curbstickle can chime in to let me know if I should apply one of them.
Hi everyone,
I am the original author of Searx. I started Hister with a similar motivation: reducing our dependence on external search engines while keeping searches and personal data under our control.
Searx is a metasearch engine that forwards queries to other search providers. Hister takes a different approach. It builds a private full text index from content you choose, then searches that index entirely on your own infrastructure.
Hister can automatically index pages through its Firefox and Chrome extensions. It can also watch local directories, import browser history and bookmarks, index individual URLs, and crawl complete documentation sites.
The feature I find most useful is offline previews. Hister stores the readable content and HTML of indexed pages locally. You can open a result in a clean and sanitized preview beside the search results without visiting the original website again.
Some other features:
Full text search across web pages, PDFs, docx files, Markdown, OrgMode and text files
Phrase searches, field filters, date filters, wildcards, negation, aliases, labels, facets, and result priorities
Optional semantic search using an embeddings endpoint you configure
Persistent website crawls
Imports from browser history, Linkwarden, Karakeep, Shaarli, Wallabag, and Linkding
Web, terminal, command line, HTTP API, and MCP interfaces
SQLite and PostgreSQL support, plus optional multiple user hosting
Hister cannot replace a global search engine (yet) for subjects you have never encountered because it only searches what you have indexed. My workflow is to search Hister first, then use its shortcut to fall back to traditional search when I need broader web results.
The project is free software under the AGPLv3+ license. It can be installed as a standalone binary or with Docker.

After years of breaking things, I think I’m finally at a point where I’m genuinely proud of my setup -so naturally, I have to share it with you all.
This is my single-server do-everything box. The whole point was to kick as many big-tech cloud services out of my life as possible. Photos, passwords, code, chat, even ML -all running in my closet/corner.
The guts:
Ryzen 7 3800X (8 cores, 16 threads)
48GB of RAM (Channel A: 16GB+8GB, Channel B: 16GB+8GB | still dual channel with stock timings and clocks.)
RTX 3050 8GB (handles GPU-accelerated processing with GPU passthrough to said LXC’s)
A couple of storage pools (Fast-Thin-LVM (Nvme) for stuff that needs speed, TB-Thin (Sata) for the bulk)
Proxmox 9.2.5, kernel 7.0.14
Nothing crazy by today’s standards, but honestly? It handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat.
The services:
Everything runs in LXC containers. If a service needs Docker, I run Docker inside the LXC - so each service gets its own dedicated container with its own Docker install. A couple of other things (like OpenWrt and DSM) live in VMs instead.
I’ve got the usual suspects - Immich for photos (goodbye Google Photos), Vaultwarden for passwords, and Matrix Synapse for chat. Networking side is Nginx Proxy Manager, WireGuard, Pi-hole, and OpenWrt routing traffic as well as DDNS-Updater to keep my domain up to date. Also running Gitea for my little coding projects, Kiwix for offline Wikipedia (because why not), Trilium for my scattered notes, homarr as the dashboard and of course lemmy, your reading this on it haha.
On the heavier side, I’ve got Ollama + Open WebUI running locally with GPU acceleration - the 3050 gets the job done.
Snapotter is in there too - it’s an open-source, self-hosted file toolkit with 200+ tools for images, video, audio, PDF, and document processing. I use it so I don’t have to rely on sketchy file conversion sites anymore. Convert, compress, OCR, strip metadata - all happens on my own hardware, files never leave my network. The GPU helps with some of the heavier image tasks too.
And yes - I’m running DSM (Arc Loader) in a VM with PCIe passthrough for the NAS. It’s a bit overkill, but I wanted proper storage virtualization with direct hardware access.
I also will not lie- the GPU sits idle most of the time, but it’s nice to have the acceleration.
Why LXC + Docker instead of just Docker?
I just like having each service in its own isolated container with its own Docker daemon. It makes backups and snapshots stupidly easy in Proxmox - when I inevitably screw something up at 1 AM (and I will), rolling back takes two clicks. Plus, it keeps dependency hell contained.
Dive into the Details
If you’re curious about the configs, the philosophy, or just want to see the messy reality behind the setup, head over to organic-server.org. You’ll find some more of my ramblings there.
Or, if you have a specific question, I’m always happy to chat here.
edit: I also forgot to mention I have degoog running. oops.

My all-time favourite remote desktop tool that I've been using for well over 15 years, @NoMachine@mastodon.social , went from full-altruistic to full-Evil last week, by switching to a yearly subscription model. 🤢
Time to transition the whole house to a new remoting platform... 😭
What are y'all using nowadays for remoting / using headless machines?

Im in the market for a NAS solution. By NAS I don’t mean running Jellyfin and some homepage thing for vibes, I mean your old-style “it just provides network attached storage”.
I love the Jonsbo cases but I don’t want to drop as much coin as building out a NAS based on one of them entails. I’m looking for an older office/home/gaming PC or case that has room for atleatst 4 3.5" HDD’s. Something around ten years old with maybe an i5 7th+ gen CPU. I don’t need hardware RAID as I prefer ZFS anyway.
Ideas?
Immich always asks for confirmation when deleting an image on android. How can I disable that behavior?
why is there no delete button for images/videos that are not yet uploaded? It’s annoyng to upload a huge video just to delete it. Why does the UI change dependent on the local/server status?

I’ve been self hosting a few services on a raspberry pi-based NAS and decided I was ready to up my game. I got on eBay and found myself a decent deal on an old Supermicro dual-cpu board with an EATX form factor. Now I need a case for it.
I could rack mount it, but I’d rather have it be a standalone. I also have several HDDs in a RAID for storage, and would love something that has room for those internally. I was going to get a Darkrock Classico Max, but figured out it won’t fit an EATX board without removing the HDD cages.
Do I’m wondering: anyone out there have a recommendation for a good EATX case with ample HDD space? Anyone else got a setup like this you are happy with?

Had a little bumpy on the personal server this AM; it was throwing out 500 errors all over the place. Suspected cause: memory overflow. I’ve upped the memory allocation from 4 to 8GB. Let’s see how that goes…
#SelfHost#SelfHosted
12 years and 11 months of powered-on time for this SSD… I should definitely turn it on for another month lol
10 years powered-on time for this HDD. Who says HDDs aren’t reliable? 😂
Anyone got better numbers than these?
I’ve been trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 10.11 for a while now, as the Android TV app keeps nagging me, and every attempt ended with impossibly long library scan times.
After some thorough investigation, it appeared that a Home Videos type collection causes unending scan (yet to be solved), but also that Jellyfin does a lot of writes to the config directory (either database or metadata or both). Mine’s on spinning media part of a ZFS pool. I tried a few performance tuning options, such as testing the config dir with recordsize (similar to block size) of 4K, 8K, 64K, 128K and library scans fell from 30-40 minutes down to 8-13min with 4K-64K. The ZFS tuning wiki suggest 64K recordsize with LZ4 compression for SQLite workloads such as Jellyfin. That seems to work as well as 4K and 8K but likely is faster when reading thumbnails and such.
Note that upgrading to 12-rc3, which is supposed to speed up library scans did not improve scan times for me. Optimizing config/database write speed did. I cross-checked the culprit by experimenting with moving the config dir to NVMe and RAM. Both of those got the scan times down to 8-9 minutes compared to the optimized spinning media’s 12-13.
So if you had upgraded (or about to) to 10.11 your library scans are (about to get) dog slow and your Jellyfin’s config dir resides on spinning media, optimize its write performance for SQLite.
