On projects like this, there's just SO MUCH to cover. One of those tutorials by itself is nearly 40 minutes, so no way I could cover it all in this video :-) Plus, I like getting clicks.
Had to rewind and take a second listen when you said you put the 2 drives in TrueNAS into a raidz1. For those who may not be well versed in ZFS or TrueNAS, it was a zfs Mirror, not a RAIDZ1. I love your content so much, always such great ideas and helpful ways to set things up!
Yep, RAIDZ1 is akin to RAID5 (also which not a great idea since long ago with drives getting huge). If you must, RAIDZ2 (2 parity recovery members). I prefer striped mirrors (like RAID10). Much easier to extend existing arrays (no backup, destroy/reconfigure/restore) - just add a new mirror ZVOL to the array and -- done! (There's lots of good info on TrueNAS and ZFS over on Lawrence Systems channel.) Like here, the signal-to-noise ratio is very good, unlike LTT seems to have become (with the exception of ones with Anthony).
I can't believe how powerful this Hyper-Visor is. An amazing case study, a fantastic demonstration and proof of concept. Giving you all the virtual thumbs I can brew. Great job, thoroughly entertaining and informative! Cheers 'tink'.'tink'
I wonder if you'd get better deduplication efficiency if you set the volblocksize of your zvols be the same as the cluster size of the FS you format them with. BTW, what are the values for your setup? The default volblocksize is 8kB, I think, whereas the default NTFS cluster size is 4k. I would suggest setting both to 16kB to cut down on the metadata overhead. Jeff, do you feel like giving it a try?
That's a great idea. In a quick setup like this, I've left everything at the defaults (8K in ZVOL). I'm working on some testing methodology to start sussing some of this out.

Love the cloud gaming! I'd really like to see a... public cloud / private cloud deployment with a self service portal with vGPU support. It's been something I've worked on before and would love to see your rendition of it.
Thanks to your series, I've been able to build my cloud gaming server PowerEdge R720 with 128GB of RAM, 2x Xeon E5-2697 V2's, and 2x TESLA K80's. My Operating Systems run locally on a NVME drive, however all my steam library games run off TrueNAS VIA iSCSI with zfs de-dup, which was also the result of one of your videos. I really want to upgrade to M60's but they're very expensive right now.
@@CraftComputing personally this series is the best. I would love to see a practical 2 gamer one system cloud machine. But the real question is how much do you use your cloud gaming system??
This is essentially the perfect hardware target for roughly 30 years of videogames. With a rom library AND a PC gaming library you could categorically load and stream 8 instances of humanities videogame history (or at least the "top hits") from 1980-2010. Some of those instances could feasibly handle multiple players on older multiplayer titles OR indie titles.
pretty much perfect for the computer games that came before that too - most of them were terminal based and ran on mini/mainframe systems this would have no trouble emulating
(12:32) When we're seeing the vGPUs here, how are they implemented? Is it a pci-passthrough scheme? Are the requests proxied through one of the VMs? Do we have something else? Would Mesa within each individual client VM work with this without any additional setup? Could the computing power be spread over only 2 VMs instead? Could different GPUs, from e.g. AMD or Intel be used in a similar fashion? Even compute-only GPUs?
I have a system with an HV paravirtual guest that I share with my lady. For storage, we both connect to the same SMB TrueNas share for the Steam library. It works very well as we have a 10 Gbit link back to the shared storage. Since Truenas has 128GB of ram with l2arc as well, all games run off the storage flawlessly.
Freakin space ship man. Gotta get into this server building thing. Sure messing with laptops is cool and fun. Certainly building a pc tower from the floor up is great. But geez dude 😅 the server thing looks amazing. Had to subscribe.
@@CraftComputing thanks for your tireless efforts to make these videos, i did try the vGPU / Proxmox video you linked above and must admit that i sadly failed, both times :-) Then i went with the Hyper V approach and that seems much more promising, but admittedly doesn't feel as "cool" as the proxmox stuff. As you i have been hunting for a VDI solution since the "dawn" of computers and with the new streaming clients that uses the NVENC hardware we are finally getting there but what really confuses me is that the nvenc streaming tech isn't just a native the host that the virtual machines run on...
Amazing video, thank you. Would this be applicable to a LAN set up? I.e. 1 machine with 8 separate players stations. How would the displays and keyboards/mice work? Would be amazing if you could do a video for this to!
Wondering if the NVME SSDs were not actually heavily loaded by all 8 instances, since most of the data that the Cryses needed for that first level were only read ~once (because of dedup) and therefore cached in RAM for the other instances. Could turn off dedup and reinstall Crysis to test.
The reason for the dedup is to save on disk space not for performance. Would love to buy several 4TB NVME SSDs for ZFS raid but too pricey at the moment.
@@Darkk6969 I understand. I'm just saying the performance test in this video might not perfectly match reality if the machines are loading different levels.
This was my first time watching you and I subbed during your in video ad, that's a fucking first for me . Love that you even changed your booze for the skit when you recalled the past lmao. Bunch of stoners, loved the vid.
Wondering if it is possible to deal with the GPUs in a completely different way - having multiple GPUs for a single gaming VM instance? Using two M40s or P40s could bring some real performance if the thing scaled well. I remember that we used to have SLI/Crossfire in the consumer grade PCs, but I guess it is not the thing anymore.
Used your tutorials to create a remote gaming VM within Proxmox, setup iSCSI to said VM and other PCs, and some other things regarding Plex all using HP Z840s.
Love your content, it is both chilling while informative, hope this kind of things reach out to more people so other tech youtuber can also try it for as niche this sadly is.. I know this is a rather unrelateable thing to ask, but can you do a showcase of gpu passthrough on gaming laptops? I am looking to build like a unified setup, therefore i don't know if it'd be worth to have gaming and workloads to both in and out of my house. Or else just a desktop pc with linux and some vms to work/gaming at home and provide the cloud and a laptop to access it on the cloud and just work/game otg. Keep up the great work :)
I enjoy learning from the information that you put out there. I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple windows OSs in the DeDup? Or will that not work? Or does each Windows OS VM need it's own non-DeDup zvol?
You can use Barrier. Its a open-source fork of an older (now commercial?) app called Synergy. It allows you to have a single keyboard and mouse controlling an arbitrary (and heterogeneous) collection of network-connected machines which each have their own locally attached display. The mouse controls the keyboard/mouse input "focus", much like pressing a button on a hardware KVM switch. When setting it up, you designate one machine as the "server" and the rest as "clients" and describe the positional relationship of the "client"(s) screens relative to the screen of the "server" (right-of, left-of kind of thing). You can use it across an arbitrary mix of Linux, Windows and Mac machines seamlessly. Highest recommendation.
So headless gaming servers are a thing? But what is the ideal use for doing this? What type of networking and additional hardware, setup is needed so 10 people can enjoy this? It is nice to have a setup, but can we see you hire 10 people to use it vs seeing you just run it but not have 9 clones of you simultaneously using? It would be nice . Being a solo artist and not a group limits you. How would your network handle to different people remoting in vs 1 person just viewing?
Strange config! In your video and in the links I see SuperServer 1027GR-TRF with X9DRT-HF. Right? This motherboard supports Xeon E2 processors with 12 Cores and DDR3 as much as possible, but you have something more advanced stated in the video! Or do I not understand something?
Thanks for all the great videos :) I would like to know more about "Thin Client" or whatever they call it. If I wanted to make a server for my 2 boys so they could game on it, which "Client" should I use and what are the requirements for them if they want to be able to play at 1440p?
pretty cool Jeff, I have been following you for the last few years. Also it would be pretty cool if there were a way for you to control all 8 instances simultaneously.
I'm looking to put together a home, rack, gaming server together just for the server, to connect to, not to game directly from. Being new at this do you need graphics cards when all the server is doing is processing incoming player computers ? I've been surprised at how little i've been able to find about making gaming servers when it's not an old PC / Laptop you are converting. Anything would be a great help.
How do you handle Windows Licensing? MSDN/VSS? Also, UA-cam has been around long enough that watchers know where the links are and pointing to "the usual spot below" isn't required.
How does this do for newer games? Also, is it possible through UnRAID? Been thinking of giving it a try at some point, but also constantly looking at all options
interrestung you using sata drives, this means you using a standad SAS controller? or can you use nvme on this system too? if yes why you dont buy a adapter bord thats hase the size of a 2.5 inch drive and has on its self a m.2 connector for nvme drives if you want fast drives
Out of curiosity, would Tesla P4 cards work with this build, and if so, would it be considered a worthwhile upgrade? I recently watched the P4 video and it would seem that those cards out perform by quite a bit.
What are you using to tile all the moonlight windows? I’m trying to do something similar to basically build an “Xbox” based around a bunch of windows VMs
Check out my video on Parsec and Moonlight linked in the description. You stream each VM to a client device, whether it be another PC, a chromebook, handheld, etc.
As configured, you'd be looking around $1600. Nearly half of that cost is memory and SSDs though, so if you don't need 256GB of RAM and 8TB of flash, you can do this quite a bit cheaper.
I am glad your channel has found success, so that we can continue getting content like this.

I wonder if you'd get better deduplication efficiency if you set the volblocksize of your zvols be the same as the cluster size of the FS you format them with.

That's a great idea. In a quick setup like this, I've left everything at the defaults (8K in ZVOL). I'm working on some testing methodology to start sussing some of this out.
