That is exactly what I do, I dont bother buying from other places like amazon or newegg for HDD.. I got a business account with WD and the last few orders i was able to get them to price match and drop the price down a bit. Im not ordering a lot of drives either, last order was 6 26TB drives...

i just got some new drives from WD using business account and they will probably be my last drives for a while. Im also keeping my old 8TB drives that have 8-9 year poh just because i dont expect prices to drop anytime soon.

My homelab is a bit of running a home prod and work dev workloads, so it's a bit of hardware. but i found for me this works out well to cover both workloads. Compute: Two servers running xcp-ng (similar hardware) I run VMs for home prod stuff like opnsense, omada, game server, website. on...

for nas, you can pick up something like qnap brand or roll your own with old hardware/truenas. For photos i been using Immich which has apps for phones does pretty much what you are looking for. I run it in a docker on my qnap nas.

I don't have experience with AMD Dash other then trying to figure out if it worked with minis forums n5 pro nas unit which it does not. But my understanding is it kind of half baked solution, so you may want to consider ip based monitoring.

Well I'm done with shipping items on this forum. Cash and local pickup only at this point. Thread has been updated accordingly.

No i was hoping to run a hypervisor os like xcp or proxmox and pass through the external gpu to win11 vm for htpc functions, sata and igpu/npu to truenas vm for storage and containers like frigate/plex etc.

Ignored. Please stay out of my FS thread. If @Patrick has it listed in the forums for sale rules then i will adjust as needed.

Bump

bump Also if anyone wants the n5 pro shipped, i do have boxes for the unit and dock expect about 100 dollars average for shipping via ground.

Added new stuff for sale.

I decided to sell the N5 pro unit and the deg1 dock. I just ordered a 4060 vid card that will fit inside my qnap nas which will handle docker/vm for frigate/plex etc. Ill leave my old htpc as is. If anyone is local to orlando FL area and wants to get it before it hits craiglist and FS...

yeah same here. my goal was have a hypervisor OS (xcp/proxmox) and VMs for htpc with windows11 and gpu passthrough, truenas VM with sata and igpu/npu passthough to run storage and containers. my current htpc is amd 5950x with 128GB ram and 2080ti card, so it plenty for htpc needs lol. And if i...

setup proxmox and windows 11. did the grub change. still getting code 43 on device in w11 with pass through device. Here are the details. pvesh get /nodes/pve/hardware/pci --pci-class-blacklist ""...

i have installed proxmox but didnt use the overide where that go into grub?

PS - I tested the 2080 ti gpu pass though via deg1 dock is working in truenas to windows vm. but that worked on all the other platforms as well.

yeah seems like the passthrough of igpu/npu isnt something that will happen easily. So im back to using windows as a base and seeing if docker/vm will work for my use case, if not im going to sell the unit.

i got truenas scale installed. I see two gpu and selected amd as isolated gpu in advance.I added it to w11 VM and it fails with below error. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/plugins/vm/supervisor/supervisor.py", line 191, in start if...

if i have time ill try it out. I was using truenas as a VM under XCP-NG and not as a system installed OS.

So i been doing more testing on the unit and decided on two outcomes. Option 1 - Keep old HTPC setup as is, sell the unit. Option 2 - Install windows 11 on the unit and use dockers desktop with WSL setup in windows. Windows 11 allows all devices to work and with wsl/dockers i can run frigate...
