Ah, the return of my Cloud Gaming Server series. This time, we're cramming three nVidia Tesla GPUs, two CPUs, 8TB of SSDs and 256GB of DDR4 RDIMMs into a 1U rackmount server, all to run EIGHT gaming VMs at the same time.
But first... What am I drinking???
Kla3 from my Patreon server sent over some Norwegian goodness in the Nøgne Ø Imperial Stout. Definitely a stout like no other... rich and thick, but with a flavor profile closer to figs and cinnamon rather than dark chocolate and coffee.

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.

@arthuralford Год назад

@Crystawth Год назад

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!

@andrewr7820 Год назад

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).

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.

@Darkk6969 Год назад

I just looked around for M60s on ebay and it's too much for me to spend on one right now. M40 as an experiment is good enough for me to try.

@Itay1787 Год назад

Porkbun are great! I bought my domain there a few years ago and I recently renewed it with them, they are cheap and the service is great.

@nmihaylove Год назад

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?

@CraftComputing Год назад

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.

@ShinyTechThings Год назад

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.

@SmokinMoaksBBQ Год назад

That was a great sponsor plug 😂

@greenprotag Год назад

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.

@greenprotag Год назад

Given that older roms are so small and quick to load, you could offload THAT library to a NAS.

@mycosys Год назад

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

@@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...

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 :)

@spagamoto Год назад

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.

@Darkk6969 Год назад

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.

@spagamoto Год назад

@@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.

I need to follow along with this eventually. I've wanted to make a gaming server so I can play games on my (non-gaming, fully arting) laptop without issues on the go. It would have been nice to have a total cost listing for a generalisation on what people looking to follow along can expect to pay. I get with eBay it's a bit of a crap shoot. Your $20 Tesla M40 may be $2000 for the next guy. But generally it gives an expected project value from $2k to $20k.

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.
