I was trying to get yacy working in a tiny container, but the dang thing kept crashing after indexing about 500,000 sites. Yacy is like a peer to peer web crawler. Too busy to dig into it and figure out why.
I opened my laptop for unrelated reasons and was greeted by a slightly bloated battery. Idk if the picture makes it clear, but the individual segments of the battery have slightly raised above the solid structure pieces in between. Laptop is just over a year old. I have already contacted the manufacturer, but with the holidays...
I have a mini-PC running windows. On that, I run home assistant in virtualbox, have plex installed, and a cheap USB harddrive plugged in to keep my plex media. I’ve turned on sharing for a folder in this drive so other devices on my network can access it....
I don’t know if this is answering your question or not, so I’m sorry if I’m missing the point. I’m a brand-new proxmox user too. I have a mini-pc that has a 4TB usb drive attached to it, and when I installed proxmox on the mini PC, proxmox saw the internal drive as disk 1, aka /dev/sda. The usb drive? Disk 2, aka /dev/sdb. Following some tutorial out there, I wiped the usb and set it up as a ZFS drive, and I can attach any chunk of it to any VM I spin up. If I try to run an OS off of it, it’s pretty slow, but I can attach a chunk of it to a VM in a mount, so a VM can have my movies ‘in’ the VM.
I’d imagine you could attach the usb that way to your Plex VM, where the VM’s OS is on the main storage of the PC, and the media is on the external drive.
If you mount it to the Plex, you could also share it out via samba. I know you can also mount shared drives, so if you had it shared as a samba share on one container, you could turn mount that share as a folder in the Plex container. I would have to ask more expert people than I am on how, but I know you can mount a share as a folder in a Linux box, so I assume a container would work the same.
I was attempting to connect 3 PC’s (Personal and two servers) via the TL-SG105 un-managed network switch. Beforehand i just connected one server and the personal pc into another switch i have. But i got this switch to accommodate this new server. However it seems as soon as i plugged in and turned on the new switch all of a...
Its data sheet says it’s managed. It looks unmanaged, but I had a managed switch that was pre-set to use one port as uplink, and if you tried to do anything different, badness. I’m guessing there’s a way to set it up that’ll get you running.
What crazy or unusual things are you guys working on?
I read someone was trying to get Samba AD working in a container and now I am curious what else you guys are working on....

I'm a beginner and want to use Proxmox. What should I use to make a USB hard drive accessible to other devices on my network?
