A long series of posts about how you can administer your ZFS filesystems and pools. The articles were originally written by Aaron Toponce and published on pthree.org in 2012, which is unfortunately no longer available online. I’ve mirrored his valuable work along with linked content here to ensure that readers continue to have access to this information.

In most situations, you would be entering your containers as root, and that’s perfectly reasonable. After all, an unprivileged container ensures that the root inside it will only have root privileges within that container and nowhere else. Sometimes, however, it might be useful to enter a container with a specific user.

This article goes through all the reasons why you might want to replace Proxmox with Incus / LXD and how it could save you from a lot of headaches down the line. While free Proxmox, much like VMWare ESXi was, is a potential disaster waiting to happen.

There are cases where we need LXD / Incus containers to have direct access to the network. In such cases, we want the containers to be assigned an IP address by a router on the network, treating them as individual devices on the network rather than containers inside a host machine that get to the network through NAT.

hdparm.conf can be used to store hdparm settings permanently, ensuring they are automatically applied at every boot. However, for testing purposes, rebooting a machine multiple times can be inconvenient. Fortunately, with a simple command, changes made to the file can be applied live without the need for a system reboot.

Did you get a WD Red drive and you can’t get it to standby or spin down? You aren’t alone and your drive isn’t broken nor it ignores hdparm as some people may think. I’ll show you how to properly set APM (Advanced Power Management) on Western Digital disks and share a few extra tips.

For those of us running servers with nftables it was great news to discover that pvxe/nftables-geoip now has the ability to generate IP lists by country. This feature can be used to, for instance, drop all traffic from specific countries or, the opposite – allow traffic only from your own country.

@Haui@discuss.tchncs.de asked me an interesting question: how could he pull emails from multiple providers such as Gmail and Outlook into his home server? This article assumes you have working experience with Linux and can set up a local Dovecot and Postfix server to handle your e-mail.

Systemd is incredibly versatile and most people, including myself, are unaware of its full potential. Despite its usefulness, it is often overlooked due to controversy and the current state of things when it comes to software development. Begin today your journey thought Systemd’s capabilities and discover how to efficiently manage systems with fewer processes than traditionally required.
