A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

Like the title says. I installed a GPU, everything posts and boots fine. The lights on the Ethernet port are lit up and will stay lit up indefinitely (I assume) if I leave it at the kernel select screen.

But as soon as I load a kernel, the lights go dark. It also is not shown as an active client on my gateway, so it’s not working at all.

I’ve tried lots of commands I’ve found to force it up. It looks to me like the NIC assigned to vmbr0 is correct. Etc. I just can’t get it to work.

If I remove the GPU, it immediately works again. NIC stays up after the kernel loads and I can access the web UI as normal.

Is the NIC built into the motherboard or an add on pcie card?

You could check the journal to see if the logs tell you anything.

ASRock Z90 Extreme.

Has 2 built in NICs. The intel 1g and the Broadcom 2.5g.

Trying to use the Broadcom here, though my Ethernet is only 1g house wide, so I could try the intel if that seems like it could help..

I don't think you'll benefit at all from using the 2.5Gbit port if you only have 1Gbit cables, so there's no downside

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I am pretty sure 2.5GBe will work over normal/standard CAT5 and Cat5e cable. It's the upstream switch that you'll need to replace.
