Yeah I love it. Also if you are stuck with outlook. Use Caldav synchronizer it is a add-on you can use with outlook to sync calendars with nextcloud.

What I use is Borg. I use Borg to backup the server to a local NAS. Then I have a NAS at my grand parents house which I use to store the backups of the NAS it self.

Raid is not only for if a drive fails. But can also be used against slow corruption of files. If you love your data use raid.

Any storage shut be raid or a form their of in a ideal world. The storage where backups are stored a defiantly yes raid shut be a very high priority.

Personally I prefer Rocky linux. Default to using SElinux which I also like. not a big fan of debian though as things are quite old and sometimes outdated for my needs.

Ports below 1024 are by default reserved for root. So unless you use sudo or change this you wont be able to use port 80 and 53 without root

Take a look at the following topic. It is not just relevant for TrueNAS but ZFS in generel. https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/whats-all-the-noise-about-hbas-and-why-cant-i-use-a-raid-controller.81931/

Be aware! The dell R730 most likely comes with a raid controller which is not suited for ZFS. You need a true HBA instead. Some raid controllers do let you set them up in JBOD mode but it still is not suited for ZFS as you need a proper HBA and or a raid controller where you can flash the firmware to IT mode.

For ZFS storage and many apps and more Truenas scale might be interesting to you.

About 500W. 1 self build server 1 Dell R510 and one dell R710. This also includes a bit of network gear like a 48 port switch.

I in fact run a AD domain controller *and *a rhel IDM controller. For me other then it is fun to play with, makes it a load more simple to manage the user accounts of my famalie. Also auto mounting network shares and setting a few policys for updates and security is great to from a central location. having SSO for many if my services also makes it more easy to use for the fam. The rhel IDM controller I use to manage a few user accounts. I also use it to manage the ssh keys and set sudo rules on all my servers.

From my understanding is that Proxmox is one of the more easy platforms to learn. I must say iI never used it personally.

Alright thank you! good to hear

Fail2ban might not be a good thing. You can flood the blacklist.

You just have to run a continous attack with spoofed source addresses. use IPv6 addresses and just wait until the whole ipv6 space is in the blacklist. by then that file will be huge. might even crash some servers

Unifi is simple to use but you can hit its limitation. A other brand I can highly recomend is Mikrotik. They have some small and cheap devices to some fairly high end gear 100gb gear. No licensing cost or anything.

A few actually.

Rocky Linux 9, XCP-NG, Windows server 2022 datacenter

Different usecasses.

What? No warranty covers the product with ITs serial number most of the time. I have bough seagate exos drives seccond hand. One was broken and kept failing tests. Send a RMA to seagate and got a new one. They did want some proof of the test failing.

Maiby this depends on the counrry you are living in?
