Interesting OSS project: Holesail creates instant P2P tunnels between networks (like a VPN)
  • I've tried to use it to ask for help on a couple of other open source projects and I thought that I was using it in the wrong way, that I was missing something. So...I was not! I don't understand how people could use it for support. Guys talking over each other, questions mixed and lost between other people's chats, terrible!

  • Two definitions of self hosted
  • Why do you distinguish on premises from self hosting? If the server is in a server farm or in my basement, I'm still hosting myself my services.

    From Wikipedia:

    Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control

    A private web server is not defined by its location.

  • Alternatives to CloudFlare?
  • Well, if you use the CloudFlare WAF with login protection (available in the free tier), you're pretty much safe since the connection doesn't arrive at your server if you don't authenticate in CF first (with Gmail, Microsoft, OTP, etc.) @foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml

  • Open Source FindMyDevice Solution - selfhostable!
  • or even pinging GPS satellites (because that leaves a log)

    What logs does it leave and where? Satellite is a one way communication system, the devices just receive the satellites signal and calculate the position by themselves.

  • Open Source FindMyDevice Solution - selfhostable!
  • I've been sending my position to my server (with Traccar and GPSlogger) for years and I haven't had any problems with the battery. It sends out the position every 5 seconds (excessive, I know!!! 🙈) and every 69 seconds when the battery is below 25% and only when it's not connected to a WiFi network.

    But I'm with you about the new Google tracking system. I haven't had the chance to check: does it work like Apple and can track devices that have been turned off?

  • Open Source FindMyDevice Solution - selfhostable!
  • I'll have a look at it. In the meanwhile, I've been using Tasker for that: if an SMS from curtains numbers is received with the text "POSITION", it will reply back with an OpenStreetMap link of the smartphone position.

  • VLAN question

    I've finally been connected to a fiber connection 2,5/1Gbps! 🥳 Now I want to share my connection with my neighbor and so I've installed 3 PCIx dual 1GB nic (I'm out of PCIe slots 🤷‍♂️).

    The connections comes from my OPNsense to the server (Proxmox) via a 10Gbps fiber connection.

    I want OPNsense to take car of firewalling dividing the neighbor networks with VLANs. The OPNsense part is done and working, I need to assign to each of the 6 1Gbps NIC each VLAN.

    I've tagged the traffic going into the server via the fiber connection, but now how can I assign each VLAN to each NIC? Thanks!

    Edit: Proxmox has nothing to do in the equation, it just happens to be on the same server where the NICs are.

    [Jellyfin] PCIe x4 graphic card for transcoding

    I have only a PCIe 2.0 x4 and a PCIe 3.0 x16 free and I need to install a 10Gbps SFP+ card and a graphic card for transcoding with Jellyfin (the CPU is an old E5-2620 v2). Since I can't find any SFP+ card that is x4, do you know a graphic card with decent transcoding capabilities (I'd day 2 4K simultaneously) that is only PCIe 2.0 x4?

    Edit: the x4 slot is full length.

    Single mode fiber cable: which SFP module?

    My Internet provider just installed a 2,5/1Gbps Internet connection and I've asked the guys to run a couple of their fiber to connect my router (HP Prodesk with OPNsense) to my server. I didn't know that the fiber is single mode and all the SFP+ sold used now seems to be all for multi mode fiber (www.bargainhardware.co.ukfor example). The cable is about 30m, can I use a 810nm SFP+ or is it definitely better to use a 1310nm?

    Suggestion for a 2,5Gbe PCIe x1/x4 (or 10Gbe?)

    Hi everybody! For my OPNsense router (on a VM on Proxmox) I need a 2,5Gbe card (to connect to the ONT of my provider); I only have 2 PCIe 3.0 x1 or 1 x4 because the only x16 is for a dual SFP+ fiber card.

    Can you suggest me a NIC (I'd prefer to buy used)? Is it better to go with a 2,5 or 10Gbe? The cooler (temperature!) the better. I just need 1 port, if there are 2 it would be better, but the most important thing is the low operating temperature.

    Thanks!

    Software RAID1: how to change disks?

    I have installed Debian with software RAID1 (and installed Proxmox on it) on 2 256GB SSD and I now want to move to 2 500GB SSD, how do I proceed?

    Edit: the RAID is of the OS disks.

    Jellyfin on a Windows VM with NDI scren capture

    Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I'm the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy.

    Have anybody tried to use a Windows VM and share the desktop with NDI? In this way I just need an NDI decoder behind the TV and all the job will be done by the server.

    Any thoughts about this?

    Edit: NDI: Network Device Interface: basically it's an audio/video (and intercom) transmission over IP with low latency. The sender could be an hardware encoder or a software.

    Used NetApp 6TB SAS for 38€???

    I've found these NetApp SAS Festplatte 6TB 7,2k SAS 12G 3,5" - 111-02374 E-X4064A-R6 ST6000NM0034, that cost only 38€! It's a brand that I've never heard about and I've no idea how many hours they've worked (I've asked and I'm waiting for an answer). What do you think?

    Edit: I've asked the seller if there is a custom firmware that makes the drive unusable and it answered me saying that they work with any SAS HBA controller. They have worked 1863h and written 130TB (he showed me 4 screenshots of 4 tests of 4 drives)

    Damn SAS connector! I got the wrong cables.

    Hi all, I've bought 2 Dell H310 6gbps SAS HBA controlelr with cables, but the cables have the wrong connectors (for me). They have this:

    !

    While my drives have this one:

    !

    What's the name of those 2 so that I can sell mine and buy new ones? ...or should I just cut the side of these and power supply connectors? 🤔

    NFS: permission denied even locally

    Hi all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this...let me know :)

    I'm trying to create a NFS share, this is my /etc/exports:

    /mnt/pool/var_VM_docker/ 172.31.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

    When I try to connect with:

    sudo mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 -vvvv 172.31.0.1:/mnt/pool/var_VM_docker /mnt/test

    I get: mount.nfs: timeout set for Mon Apr 15 19:07:11 2024 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'nfsvers=3,addr=172.31.0.1' mount.nfs: prog 100003, trying vers=3, prot=6 mount.nfs: trying 172.31.0.1 prog 100003 vers 3 prot TCP port 2049 mount.nfs: prog 100005, trying vers=3, prot=17 mount.nfs: trying 172.31.0.1 prog 100005 vers 3 prot UDP port 41067 mount.nfs: mount(2): Permission denied mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 172.31.0.1:/mnt/pool/var_VM_docker

    I don't have iptables enabled, nor SELinux. I've tried exporting it on 127.0.0.1 and connecting it to 127.0.0.1, but the problem persist. What am I doing wrong?

    Do you encrypt your data drives?

    Fellow selfhoster, do you encrypt your drives where you put data to avoid privacy problems in case of theft? If yes, how? How much does that impact performances? I selfhost (amongst other services) NextCloud where I keep my pictures, medical staff, ...in short, private stuff and I know that it's pretty difficult that a thief would steal my server, buuut, you never know! 🤷🏻‍♂️

    GUI on a Linux server

    My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV. I want to get rid of the Windows PC and connect the TV directly to the server with an HDMI+USB RJ45 extender, but...how do I get a GUI from it? Is it even possible? I would need to connect to a Windows VM because for what I know Netflix only plays 4K videos with Edge. Thanks!

    Selfhosted systrem to monitor daily incoming email (backup reports)

    Hi all! I've been looking for a selfhosted system that can monitor one or more email accounts and check if a certain email with a particular subject arrives every day (or every x hours) and alert me if it doesn't (or if the subject is different). I need this to check if backups from different PC have run or not. The best thing would be to integrate it with Uptime Kuma. Any idea? Thanks!

    Edit: I'm switching all my backup software to Restic (Autorestic on Linux machines) so I can send a ping to Uptime Kuma when every single backup successfully ends.

    Self hosted AI chat like OmniGPT?

    I've just discovered OmniGPT that seems to be a chat where you can interact with different LLM (Claude, GPT-4, Llama, Gemini, etc.) and costs $16/month (it was $7/month until a week ago 🤦‍♂️). I've read on a Reddit post that it uses the APIs of all the provider that is a thing that can be done for free using a personal account (since the API limit seems to be high). Do you know something like OminGPT that can be self hosted that uses users API keys?

    Battery indication for MQTT sensors

    I have some sensors like this one: ```

    • name: "Sala" unique_id: "temp_sala" state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/temp_sala" value_template: "{{ value_json.temperature }}" unit_of_measurement: "°C" ```

    Those sensors publish the battery status too, how can I add it? Thanks!

    Climate to turn on/off heat pump

    I have created this climate:

    ```

    • name: "Riscaldamento" unique_id: "termostato" modes:
      • "off"
      • "heat"
      • "cool" mode_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/mode/set" mode_state_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/mode/state" temperature_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/temp/set" current_temperature_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/temp/state" power_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/pump/set" payload_on: 1 payload_off: 0 min_temp: 17 max_temp: 28 temp_step: 0.1 precision: 0.1 ```

    thinking that the power_command_topic would be sent whenever the temperature would go over/under the one set, but nothing ever get send to that topic. How can I turn on the pump when the temperature goes under the one set and turn it off when it goes over?

    Timer/schedule entity

    Hi all, I've been using Domoticz for years and I've finally decided to move to HA. In Domoticz I could have a timer (fixed date, every days, every x days, and so on) for every single entity, in HA how I can do that? Thanks!

    [SOLVED] Frigate: vertical camera shrinked vertically

    Hi all, I'm pretty new to HA and Frigate. When I installed the cameras (they are all vertical, 9:16), they were correct, I could see all the vertical images. Since about a week they are all shrinked in a 16:9 images/videos, even if they are 9:16

    New home server: what hypervisor/OS?

    I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options:

    • stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS
    • use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor

    What other option would you suggest?

    How to keep data across HA restart

    I'm pretty new to HA. I've set it up and I keep editing the confirmation and everytime I restart to apply the changes, all the switches, sensors and even the thermostat lose their values. The most annoying is the thermostat (classic thermostat entity) because I have to turn it on selecting heat/cool and set the temperature. Is there a way to keep all these values across restarts?

    Edit: I'm using HA OS on Proxmox. All the sensors and switches slowly goes back to "normal" as soon as they publish their state, apart from some entities that have values provided by HA itself and not by the devices (like the thermostat).
