I think he’s a tool, but credit where it’s due: it’s great that he’s supporting the movement, and he does have a huge following.

Yeah I’m running 16s and that’s pushing it imo

Holy fuck can you imagine how long it would take to re-stripe a failed drive in a z2 array 😭

How did they squander being the name in autonomous vacuum devices…? It’s kinda baffling tbh.

No no - it’s not plagiarism; it’s standardization.

Leave it open and unsecured on the internet and see what happens

That is some big dick energy ngl

Self hosting isn’t likely to ever get to the point of “plug and play”. It’s inherently incredibly flexible and different people will do different things with it. Some people just want NAS. Some people want to build a router. Some people want to have a modest compute farm that they physically own. Some people want a virtualization playground. Or pretty much anything else you can think of, or some combination thereof.

For instance, I custom built a 2-tier + optane cached NAS running proxmox, and I have a handful of old thin clients I can spin up for doing Beowulf things when I feel like it, and I also have another repurposed thin client with an old enterprise-grade SFP+ NIC running pfSense as my router that can support up to 10g (futureproofing).

GSV, and thank you very much for noticing

Nothing, they’re just being an ass. Don’t worry about it.

No u

DAS enclosures are super easy to set up. Disk won’t be a big issue if you go that route.

If you’re planning on running containers, tbh I would not. The required virtualization layer (due to macOS being BSD-based) is going to make containers WAY less efficient. You’re better off with a system you can easily slap proxmox (or whatever distro floats your boat) on.

Huh, really? Is there that much of a perf hit using passthrough? I’d have assumed that the bottleneck isn’t actually the PCIE, so much as it is the beefiness of the GPU crunching the model.

Bro this is a community for sharing knowledge and increasing the technical aptitude of fellow users by doing said sharing. Maybe instead of shitting on a pretty solid digest of the fundamentals of setting up something like this, try adding to the body of knowledge instead.

Wtf are you talking about. PCIe passthrough exists.

Fair; I blame target fixation

Well sure, but the question was about gluetun, so I was trying to focus on that and the applications thereof. In terms of homelab stuff, I know a lot of people appreciate the containerized approach.

Oh yeah you can do it that way too, but if you want it all containerized, that’s roughly how to do it. That’s all I meant.
