I always wonder what legal risks hosting something like this comes with. If you host a public server and uploads are client side encrypted, seems like it would be a magnet for illegal file transfer and CSAM, no?

Yeah I think we’re talking about the same thing. Got any guidance on how you set that up?

I would say pretty secure. Of course, I would ensure all of the proper firewall, app pins, 2FA are in place in case my phone was ever compromised.

I’m already accessing all of the services now over the web with authentication. This new configuration would shift thos services from being public to only devices on my private mesh network with the proper certificates.

Hmm. I’m running a 3090 and 4090. Looks like vgpu is not possible yet for those cards.

Have you tried or do you have any knowledge about utilizing the display ports on the gpu while virtualizing either in lieu or in tandem with streaming displays?

I’m curious in a more in depth breakdown of your setup if you don’t mind. What is latency like and how are you handling switching?

How are you handling displays and keyboard/mouse? Also what VM software?

I’m not the one making wild accusations about somebody wanting to selfhost a gpu server to edit…incest porn or whatever it is you’re on about.

No idea what lie you think I’m telling. 🤷‍♂️

That’s such a weird leap in logic to jump to. Are you okay?

ELI5 please. What are the benefits over unbound?

I run a few servers myself with proxmox. FYI there is a script that removes that nag screen as well as configures some other useful things for proxmox self-hosters.

Maybe my situation is just unique, but due to my job I’m able to have a single workstation with multiple high VRAM GPUs. I wouldn’t be able to justify the cost of buying new GPUs and an entire rig just for gaming or AI image/video. I wouldn’t foresee more than 2 VMs using the GPU in high priority at any single time.

When I’m not working this system sits idle or is running renders. Why not utilize the amazing resources I have to serve my other needs?

I have a workstation I use for video editing/vfx as well as gaming. Because of my work, I’m fortunate to have the latest high end GPUs and a 160" projector screen. I also have a few TVs in various rooms around the house.

Traditionally, if I want to watch something or play a video game, I have to go to the room with the jellyfin/plex/roku box to watch something and am limited to the work/gaming rig to play games. I can’t run renders and game at the same time. Buying an entire new pc so I can do both is a massive waste of money. If I want to do a test screening of a video I’m working on to see how it displays on various devices, I have to transfer the file around to these devices. This is limiting and inefficient to me.

I want to be able to go to any screen in my house: my living room TV, my large projector in my studio room, my tablet, or even my phone and switch between:

• my workstation display running on a Window 10 VM
• my linux VM with youtube or jellyfin player I use as a daily driver
• a fedora or Windows VM dedicated to gaming, maybe SteamOS
• maybe a friend comes over for a LAN party and we both can game without having to set up a 2nd rig
• I want to host an LLM or stablediffusion server without having to buy a new GPU with enough VRAM to run SDXL

Can I hijack this thread to ask if any of these recommendations have iOS apps? Vikunja looks the most enticing to me but seems they don’t have an iOS app sadly.

Do you mean leantime.io?

I haven’t. I doubt it would solve all of the problems I experience.

Anybody downvoting me can share their experience running protools with multiple hardware fader interfaces and 18 input DAW interface, pci SDI cards, and 6 separate display monitors.

Adobe software, Davinci Resolve, 3ds Max and its 20 plugins. None of these work or work seamlessly in Linux.

I can’t even get my surround sound to work properly in Ubuntu without having to manually adjust multiple convoluted conf files.

That’s the truth. I love Linux. I use Debian and Ubuntu on a bunch of servers I run. But fanboys need to stop deluding themselves into thinking it’s easy or even worthwhile to use Linux in lieu of Windows for anything and everything. I would be ecstatic if that changed.

I don’t think it’s the options that make Linux a hard pill to swallow. For me it’s the lack of support for hardware and most software. Sure there are alternatives or WINE but that’s usually a big downgrade from just running it on windows.

My Ubuntu box I use for browsing/watching videos and listening to music just barely works and was frustrating to get properly configured. Linux for the dozen professional softwares I use for work is basically impossible. As much as I hate it I had no choice but to stick with windows.

It’s not the fault of Linux developers. The hardware and software companies just largely do not support it still.

QEMU. Using NAT but it’s attached to the host’s NIC. I know this is probably what’s causing the issue. I’m not sure how to connect it to the VPN.

I’m a massive Nextcloud fan and have a server up and running for many years now.

But I understand all of the downvoted commenters. It is clunky and buggy as hell at times. Maybe it’s less noticeable when you’re running a single user instance, but once you have non tech literate users using it you begin to notice how inferior it is to the big boys like google drive in some aspects.

That said, I personally have a decent tolerance for fiddling and slight frustrations as a trade off for avoiding privacy disrespecting and arguably evil corporations.

I would recommend everybody looking for a gdrive, Dropbox, one drive alternative to at least give Nextcloud a go.

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I have about 20TB of data on the disks otherwise I would take your advice to set up a different scheme. Luckily, as it’s a backup server I don’t need maximum speed. I set it up with mergerfs and snapraid because I’m essentially recycling old drives into this machine and that setup works pretty well for my situation.

The proxmox host is the default (ext4/lvm I believe). The drives are also all ext4. I very recently did a data drive upgrade and besides some timestamp discrepancies likely due to rsync, the SCSI semi-virtualized thing wasn’t an issue. I replaced the old drive with a larger one, hooked the old one up to a usb dongle and passed it through to OMV and I was able to transfer everything and get my new data drive hooked back into the mergerfs pool and snapraid. I’ll do a test and see if I can still access the files directly in the proxmox host just for educational purposes.

I’ll try to re-mount the NFS and see where that gets me. I’m also considering switching to a CIFS/SMB share as another commenter had posted. Unless that is susceptible to the same estale issue. I won’t be back at that location for about a week so I might not have an update for a little while.
