I did know about zabbix before, and I actually did try to install it before using the proxmox helper scripts page. Somehow, by the end I got a blank page. Hence I made this post to see more alternatives.

I do know zabbix is super recognized in this area. I just did not install it successfuly on my previous attempt

I will look into this one. First impressions looks interesting, thanks for mentioning it!

I will check how that one works. I was not planning to have another machine to do dadhboarding, bit maybe there are ways to host this as a VM or lxc and make it that way

Those are good questions. I would prefer somewhere in the page of proxmox to have this info. If that is not feasible for any amount of reasons, second best option is to have a service to have a dashboard page. I did forget about graphana, but I can look into it

I do not use models in general online, but my needs are also much smaller. Max I use my local model for ollama is translations. I am always interested in seeing more focused models so we can use on lower end hardware

Did you try to do this workflow with local models? If so, in your experience what are the better models for this?

Fixed on bios, but from what I see, the dbx part is still missing in some models. They are working on it at least

send the DB entries of your Downvotes on a Thumb drive (or anything else from SSD to 3.5 inchHDD, depending on your preferences), and shove it up your rectum.

Do not threaten them with a good time

I tried a couple of times with Jen ai and local llama, but somehow does not work that well for me.

But at the same time i have a 9070xt, so, not exactly optimal

So is not on this rack. OK because for a second I was thinking somehow you were able to run ai tasks with some sort of small cluster.

I have nowadays a 9070xt on my system. I just dabbled on this, but until now I havent been that successful. Maybe I will read more into it to understand better.

I have a question about ai usage on this: how do you do this? Every time I see ai usage some sort of 4090 or 5090 is mentioned, so I am curious what kind of ai usage you can do here

I am using them on a small storage box (around 2tb) and I am quite happy with it. One of the things that I particularly liked is the documentation. If you have a use case for rsync, Borg backup or others, it’s probably covered in their documentation (plus, never had an outage or issue with my data). I didn’t use their support at this point, but ibheard good things about it as well.

2 you say? That is 2 more the amount I actually have of real friends

That is for sure a good gap solution. It depends a lot on the space we are talking, and more critically, number of concurrent devices connected. For some use cases converting routers to APS is for sure good enough.

You can use on any computer really (with network connections of course).

I use on a minisforum PC with 2 NICs attached to it. For this solution is usually needed APs (which tends to be better in general, just more expensive). There are people that even use opnsense with proxmox (which is a VERY advanced use case) to have the machine for more things.

One interesting detail: with opnsense you can actually have on the same machine adguard for DNS installed as a service for opnsense (and use opnsense to actually force all DNS to to there, as long is not doh, but that is a bit of a different story).

I checked their page and I have now a personal license. I am going later to try to find out how it works, so we will see

That sounds like a crazy story to find out what the issue was. As I stated somewhere on the thread, ram is not the issue, and the APS are quite new (Aruba stuff that is 1 and a half year old). And the only situation I get this issues is with my phones in specific. I will probably use the smb solution stated before and see how is goes. If the thing still happens, then is hunting time

That is something I can totally do after I figure out this syncthing thing. Probably will use Borg backup but same principle applies

Finished an all nighter memtest with a total of 12 passes. All good on the ram side

That is some crazy story right there. I do know for a fact that memtest needs multiple passes. But in my case the machine only has 1 stick of ram (used to have 2, one died). I will probably do a memtest overnight and get at you tomorrow.
