As much as I like the interface and idea of lemmy, I think the content traffic is not enough for me… and keep going back to reddit :/

thanks for the info… I’m thinking of sticking with just Debian (as my simple usecase) and use virsh commands…

Okay 👍 Thanks for your suggestions. Think I’ll just stick with Debian 🙂

haven’t thought about it. I guess I’ll learn some bash :)

BTW what is a good OS for the VM host? many here are running proxmox… would you recommend it for this purpose of bash automation to bring up VMs?

Thanks… Just for clarification, you can use Ansible to control Proxmox as well… and automate the entire VM bring up?

Thanks for the addition. It’s also mentioned in that original blog post I linked in the article.

I understand what you mean. It’s become a habit of mine lately, and I learn lots in the discussion to.

In my defence I did run some tests and confirm it’s functioning.

Yes that’s how I’m automating it, and it’s noted in the blog I highlighted. Your point about post down does make sense 😕

Like I said ip6 is useless when it comes to torrenting. Even if the tracker supports it it’s not persavive with users connecting to you.

Oh cool. I couldn’t find any info on doing this. And struggled lots at I don’t understand Iptables

Oh of you didn’t want to mess with hardware setups, them it makes sense.

FYI, there are nas cases like the jonsbo, and Celeron processors that you can build entirely fanless too.

Hmm I see, you can always temporarily disconnect the drives too.

Thanks for the feed back. I started out with that post I referenced in my article, which had fewer entries. It didn’t work. Caveat was although the online port checkers were reporting the port as open, it was not actually making through the tunnel!

I actually solved it by asking chatgpt!! I put in the suggestions and it worked. I’m also no expert on creating iptables, but once it was in place it seemed self explanatory.

I ran netcat as client-server to test it actually worked.

Huh, good to know. I’m out remember some of us have traffic in the TBs pretty month!

Yeah it’s a popular choice for various things. But wouldn’t it be against TOS using it for p2p and that amount of traffic?

Since you’re already building a custom server, isn’t it just better to include HDDs in there, and have a single box? (just get a bigger case, SFF for example) It’d be good for power consumption as well. What are you trying to achieve with a separate NAS?
