It’s Back

Ok so I guess I did not set up the raid management software when I installed my raid.  A hard drive died but I had a drive sitting there to expand the raid. I installed the new drive and the rebuild started. Of course the load on the drives when rebuilding is super hard and 2 more drives failed. I have a back up, but it’s 3 weeks back and will take some time to get everything back. But I will be using the back up for some time since 2 more drives is a bit of money.

F’ Computer, And Stuff

So this weekend sucked *ss, I got my server up and running and then my router decided to not forward static ports. I had to reset the router. It now has no QoS, Guest Network, Open Network, Remote Access. But streaming is working but all users log ins have been lost and need to be re-done Here. The page will not check that the remote server is up. I did not add that before some if anyone signed up this weekend it may not have worked. I have not decided what to do about the router issue, I need to go back to pfsense I think to keep everything working but that will cost at a lot. So for now I will just try to keep what I have working. I do have a spare Machine though Maybe I can install pfsense on that.. But we will see.

Getting there!!!

Well after my  big fuck up I’m starting to move in the right direction on getting things working again all user log ins were lost. Everyone has to sign up again. Right now streaming is not 100%  I do not think having the user database on another machine is the best but it does work for now.  So if you want to sign up again you can. I will make sure not to loose them again.. Since I did keep the last ones for over 5 years.
