And how would power management work without a proper OS? If you buy enterprise hardware honesty you need to educate yourself first.

a good backup strategy should follow the 3-2-1 rule (I recommend google it so you understand the concept)
I use tape for the pure purpose of easily having a backup offsite. Even if we don’t foresee [insert your worst nightmare] happening it might, and having your data save outside of your house is for me a must.
Now its quite easy to store pictures and documents in the cloud and its fairly safe, but storing a lot of virtual machines, databases etc. in the cloud can be expensive. Storing the data on hard drives might be easy, but in 10 years who knows what interfaces your computer will have, that will be compatible? Also hard drives are clumsy.
Tapes allows me to take a backup every night, every week, and a monthly backup, as well as one quarterly backup without having to having to buy 10 hard drives.
I can easily store each tape at remote locations. Currently I only have tapes at work and at a family place, but all in the same city. Backups have saved my life 10+ times due to hardware issues.
A tapeloader might be better than having a single backup drive, but is more expensive and would require a tape backup software that can handle the loader.
There are VPNS that offer public IPs, some more enterprise grade VPNs can offer static IPs as well. But its not cheap.
Another way if traffic is mostly HTTP(S) based you can use cloudflare, seems to be the norm here.
Why are you moving to an ISP that does not support your needs? are you moving?
did you read the manual and connect power the way you are supposed to?
I don’t need to worry about getting appropriate local storage for the computers that host these services
not sure I understand, what OS should these computers run? should this also be NAS storage? Or is it just the database filesystem that should be on the NAS?
honestly it looks like you don’t have the knowhow to setup shared storage, it seems you are more a developer type of person, so KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
run local storage, your databases won’t be even gigabytes in size, get some cheap SSD drives instead (SATA) if you want I/O.
also all your databased won’t dive when your accidentally pull the power plug to your NAS or trip over the ethernet cable.
I have never used TrueNAS but I guess you could provision a separate volume and use iSCSI on top of that, and serve your very large database just to make things easier.
you can in theory connect multiple hosts to the same JBOD with SAS, there are even “SAS Switches” that are built for that purpose.
But if you do this incorrectly and initiate the incorrect drives your TrueNAS data is bye-bye
generally 1U servers are not loud in the datacenters, that’s just a myth, the main reason might be misconfiguration, or a datacenter that does not have any cooling…
if you control the fans your pizza boxes will run hotter, and might be throttling, or just shutdown completely.
running customers in your basement seems to be a horrible idea, but its your business :)
These are over 10 years old and are not really useful for anything, they are passively cooled. All this is quite easy info from google…
So useless unless you really want to get your hands dirty on VDI but it seems a bit out of your league at this point in time. that’s why the cost like $40 on eBay.
the only good news is that they do not require a license to do vGPU / vVDI
, but $1,000 in cash
not sure how this would help me, I’ve spend 10k or more, but I could get a t-shirt I guess?
SQL server express is available even for Linux so that might be an interesting homelab setup.
Otherwise you can use a trial license for (any) windows client or server to run SQL Express. This of course implies that you dont run any commercial stuff, but you posted in homelab
“We love detailed homelab builds, please put as much detail about your lab as possible and what you are using it for. Posts with just a few pictures and no context behind them will be removed. Detail can be posted as a reply to your own post.”
without seeing your Nginx.config it will not be possible to help. you can also run curl with -vv and troubleshoot. I assume you just get two re-directs that append the path based on existing path, so you are doing the re-direct twice somehow. I don’t know what Daminion or NPM are.
however its possible to route traffic in nginx with location and a normal proxy_pass.
