Hey everybody, today we will be going through on how to setup a Grafana + Prometheus stack to allow you to monitor external tools such as Blocky and other services that can output to prometheus(Basically anything with some effort). I have used this to monitor my Linux ISO collector, and my DNS server and it has worked great and has allowed me to create nice dashboards for use. We will be using docker and docker compose to set it up with bind mounts so that trasnfering data is easy. ...

Hey everybody, quick guide today as I could find very little info on this so decided to write this. I will be going through the steps to use ShareNFS on proxmox combined with ZFS to setup an NFS server. We will be adding a few paramters to give convienct access to the NFS server however as I will explain later some of my ones might introduce some inherent risk. Requirments Promox VE8 Server* Root Access A cup of Coffee An earlier version of proxmox may work and I used the same on Proxmox VE7 but it may not work on earlier versions, do it at your own risk.

Good evening, today I will be showing in this guide how to use the ZFS(Zetabyte-File-System) on Arch Linux. I shall be doing this because ZFS has a number of advantages that can be useful such as: Builtin Snapshots Feature Builtin Encryption Builtin File System Compression Builtin Deduplication Builtin Volume Manager Builtin Transfer Mechanism All of these features together make it a really appealing option to use as your file system, but do be warned that due to licensing issues between the GPL which Linux uses and CDDL which ZFS uses, ZFS cannot be included into the main line kernel. As such we will be using an external project called Arch ZFS which provides Arch Repositories for ZFS packages, you may also use the AUR for such tasks but generally is unrecommended as it would require you to create a new user and then build due to not being able to makepkg on the root user. ...
