As I mentioned in my last post I was tired of having a folder full of bookmarks to get to everything on my network...I have a bunch of stuff and it sucks. So I had seen someone discussing Organizr ( https://organizr.app/ ) a while back and thought yep its time to make this work. So I set up a new jail on my new FreeNas server as I mentioned in the last post and got to work. So after quite a bit of experimentation, reading, playing, downloading custom JPEGs etc this is where I ended up at. A landing page with all my links that can be easily updated as needed. There are some people out there doing some awesome things with it and I may add more things over time. So here is a few screenshots etc. Some items do not like being in an iframe and some I just let pop out to their own windows. Just depends on how they act.  As I also mentioned the other day I finally got around to getting Lidarr installed in a jail as well. ( https://lidarr.audio/ ) I have been a...

I got all the hard drives moved over, I got a few new small flash drives for SLOGs in my system. I ordered a few of these for putting a 2.5-inch drive into my 3.5 bays. They work perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZWX6PD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Other than having to fight the networking which seems pretty standard on a move it all went pretty well. I don't know what it is about FreeNas in LACP that completely pisses off my switches, but once I got it worked out it is working very well. Then took the old PC/Server out. The bigger project for the weekend was getting Organizr, Lidarr, and ZoneMinder running. These were a combination of a few projects I had been working on. Each of these is running in their own jail inside of FreeNAS along with other software. Organizr, I have a lot of internal services I wanted to go past bookmarks-  https://organizr.app/ Music management client similar to Radarr/Sonarr - Lidarr -  h...

So it is here, YAAA! First thing of course I put in the 64GB of RAM I ordered, put a 250GB hard drive I had laying around in it and installed Windows after playing around in the BIOS setting up the IPMI IP etc. I then fully updated Windows and ran ycruncher on it for several hours just to kind of work out any issues if there were any.... there were not. YAA! again. As I mentioned I messed up when I ordered it and ordered the version with a RAID controller card instead of an HBA. Well, last night I went to rearrange the rack and repair an issue I had when I first put it together where some of my rails were not long enough. So originally I flipped the upright on the rack around so they would reach...apparently my brain wasn't working or something that day because the obvious answer should have been well move the uprights closer together. So I did that last night and flipped the upright back around so now all the rails reach as they should...another YAAA! Now the part where I go S...

So I have been using an older AMD FX-8320 based Freenas box for a couple years which was originally one of my old gaming machines. It has served me pretty well, but over the course of my current lab requirements and testing I have to do let's just say it works, but it struggles. I have issues with occasional crashes especially while using ISCSI LUNS inside Vmware ESX. I think the reality is I am just doing too much with the amount of RAM I have. Freenas makes it very clear in their documentation that of course, RAM is very important between ZFS caching and other functions. I have multiple jails running, I have ISCSI LUNSs for SQL cluster testing. I even have a VM domain controller inside my Freenas....and I only have 24GB of RAM. If I were only running Plex/Freenas I think that would be plenty, I could probably even get away with my VM running, but I also have 7 other jails and the ISCSI on top of that. I would like to add at least 2 more jails. (Lidarr and Organizer)  I cou...
