I run this server

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

mhzawadi ,

WOW
Looks like they have uncorked the update process, could be a wild ride for a bit

mhzawadi ,

A and AAAA records can have different IPs, the VPS will know it's the host for your A and to forward AAAA to your home IP

mhzawadi ,

this, most likely a netmask mismatch.

Make sure all 3 devices have a /24 (255.255.255.0) network mask

mhzawadi ,

your not a moron, networking is a learning opportunity. just need a way to debug your issue, thats how I go about all tech issues.

Most of what I know is on the job learning, I dont have any certificates in any of what I do.

mhzawadi ,

We have a git repo full of markdown files, I made this template repo https://github.com/mhzawadi/doc-store-template from it

mhzawadi ,

well the work they did to allow for faster updates has paid off in spades, sterling job to them

Hello 👋

You need to edit the below lines

set $jellyfin jellyfin;
resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=30s;

To look like the below

set $jellyfin 127.0.0.1;
#resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=30s;

Edited after reading the full config

mhzawadi ,

Im a nagios head here

mhzawadi ,

use the notification service for your phone, on Android set the message to TTS, in the data use the below

ttl: 0
priority: high
media_stream: alarm_stream
tts_text: HELP, Im lost can you hear me?

mhzawadi ,

Your missing message of TTS, android needs that to know to say the text

Just run this and my android phone on vibrate just did the announcement

mhzawadi ,

I have just been round my small setup and run an OS update, took about an hour. That includes a reboot of a dedicated server with OVH.

a pi and mini PC at home, a dedi at OVH running 2 LXC and 5 qemu vms. All deb a mix of 11 and 12.

I spend Wednesday evenings checking what updates need installing, I get an email every week from newreleases.io with software updates and run Semaphore to check on OS updates.

Managing servers in multiple locations

How do you manage multiple machines in different locations. The use case is something like this, i want self hosted different apps in different locations as redundancy. Something like i put one server in my house, one in my dad’s house, couple other in my siblings/friends house. So just in case say machine in my house down or...

mhzawadi ,

The comments about storage still stand, that's a tricky thing to do over the internet.

But I would recommend a meshing VPN, tinc can mesh and will route round network problems.

Also don't forget about backups, as that could be a better thing to have off site

mhzawadi ,

How much do you point and click your setup?

As I use nagios

mhzawadi ,

Not sure if it's in fedora, but I use nullmail as my mta. Simple to config and does just MTA

mhzawadi ,

My guess is the massive amount of hardware variations, you would need a house full of devices to test all the different options

mhzawadi ,

Plus 1 for newreleases.io, I use it for both GitHub repos and docker hub things.

You can get alerts to a boat load of things on a daily week or monthly basis

mhzawadi ,

just had a look in HACS, but nothing there.

What you could try is adding items to a todo list, with an automation to drop the last entry when a new item is added.

mhzawadi ,

Have you looked at ovh?

Have both a VPS and dedicated host

mhzawadi ,

I have been running nextcloud for some time, it was running very quickly. But the v28 update seems to have broke some of the extra apps, like groupfolders.

That said, it's very much a system that needs good hardware to run it well

How responsive is your Nextcloud?

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn't snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I'm curious what the experience is like for other people. I'd also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any other...

mhzawadi ,

My nextcloud was almost instant, then the upgrade to v28 seems to have broke a load of things and now is very slow.

  • nginx LB in LXC
  • qemu vm with PHP and nginx on it
    • as many PHP optimisations as I can find
  • qemu vm with just mysql
    • as many MySQL optimisations as I can find
  • docker notify thing on the docker swarm vms

All on the same host with other things

mhzawadi ,

I've been through everything on the install guide and update I can find, it looks to be the groupfolders app that looks for expired items every 5 minutes. It gets better if I stop Cron or delete the job

mhzawadi ,

Have a look a small step ca
https://smallstep.com/docs/step-ca/#introduction-to-step-ca

mhzawadi ,

What?

It's a single process that runs a ca, it might well be a web service but that's built in. I use it for SSH certificates in my homelab, setup was a doddle.

Might have a look at the web cert bit, but you might find certbit can connect and get a cert

How to remotely reboot a Linux host if SSH fails to connect?

Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, https://lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it's a search/index tool which I don't need. No idea why it took over all memory. I'll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it....

mhzawadi ,

Maybe investigate why it hung?

That could be a sign of something bigger about to kill it altogether

Multiple HDDs in a RPi5 vanish (kbin.social)

Hey, I'm really stumped by this issue so perhaps one of you folks might be able to help me out here. I run a little server on an RPi 5.i got for another project originally. So ce I cannot finish said project due to time constraints, I repurposed the thing into a little server. It's running smoothly so far with one really weird...

mhzawadi ,

Something to check is the type of USB devices, as I had a hard time with finding enclosures that work.

Some enclosures just don't work and randomly disconnect

mhzawadi ,

I think your missing the point of HAOS, it's an appliance. You don't manage it like a normal self host system.

Once you treat it as an appliance, it's great. Also there is a portainer agent you can run that will connect to a portainer instance.

As for your tunnel issues, maybe the tunnel thing is your biggest issue. I run all my self host stuff on its own subdomain, if I want to route something home I use the site to site VPN I have. Even a cheap ovh vps could be a way to run stuff on subdomains

mhzawadi ,

Requiring a full URL will be more of security thing I would guess, as some users put HA on the internet and it could have access to open doors.

Also I have tried things on sub paths and it got very complicated to know where a service was, a domain keeps things easy to setup and manage. As I run internet facing services for my day job, I have to look at both security and easy of maintenance when setting things up.

I would say that if you need a path over domain, its a skill issue and you need to find a better way of working.

mhzawadi ,

Ok, I dont get your point of view. As I dont see the need to sub path things.

What I do see is a lot of people who seem to think that a sub-path is good security, cheaper to run and lots of other things.

First off, you can get free lets encrypt certs and even a wildcard cert if you know how. Also you can get a SAN cert with a little config of certbot.

Second, you dont need an A record for every domain. You can use a c-name or even a wildcard to catch any domain name.

Then the security is all crap, if the sub path is on the internet it will get found in time. A domain is just more obvious, you can also name the sub domain anything you want. Case in point is my nextcloud on an owncloud sub domain.

If you start to look into ways to automate all that, then things are trivial to add to. I use OVH for my domains, as they provide an API that I can use with certbot to get any certificate I want for my domain. I can also use the API to provision a new subdomain, be that an A record or c-name. But I have a wildcard subdomain so that I can spin up anything on any subdomain and I dont have to do any setup.

Need help converting dumb switches; one w/o any lights, one w/ Hue bulbs

I'm looking for a smart home solution use two switches in my living room (EU), in order to make them just smart enough so I can control some devices. The setup isn't very complex in itself, and I'm pretty sure it's doable - I'm just unsure what I'd need in order to use these switches in a 'smart' capacity......

mhzawadi ,

In the UK most lights don't have a live, neutral and earth wires. Which is a pain when looking for smart switches

Share your favorite automations

I've been running HA for a while, and it's been working well; I haven't had to change much in a few months. That being said, it's fun to tinker with it, and I'm curious to hear what kind of automations the rest of the community is using. What automations are you most proud of? What are your favorite? What kind of interesting...

mhzawadi ,

I have door sensors on all the external doors, if a door is opened then turn the heating off. This helps over the winter when we have a firepit going and the kids are in and out every 5 minutes

mhzawadi ,

The bit of info missing here is that ZigBee is a meshing network, as said most (but not all) mains powered ZigBee devices are routers. That means any end devices will connect to a router if it's closer and the router will relay the message back, that could be directe or via another router.

To fix your issue, some well placed ZigBee plugs could be all you need.

mhzawadi ,

In that case, I would recommend a shelly button -> https://www.shelly.com/en/products/shop/shelly-button-1-white as its WiFi and the Shelly firmware has all the things you need, I have a few Shelly things and they are rock solid

mhzawadi ,

Crap, now we need to check out every job on your CV, thanks gpt.

As if not hard enough to find someone who can work a terminal and ansible and has used aws

Constantly getting possible hack attempt floods from certain IP addresses.

This is infuriating that I continue to get this repeats of nine and more possible hack attempts from the same certain IP addresses blocked by Malwarebytes, which I get popups every time it happens. This is a snapshot from my logs after one has happened, and I also save text file logs of it....

mhzawadi ,

A quick search shows that IP is known for hacking type requests https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/45.79.168.172

I would check how your router is setup, as they should not be hitting your computer at all.

mhzawadi ,

If I had all the time I wanted to homelab, I would get me a Nas box and run like 10 pis of different vintages as purpose built servers.

A pi to run PHP, a pi to run mysql, a fleet of pis as docker nodes.

Nextcloud/CardDav/iOS trouble

I am having some trouble with a Nextcloud server. I set up a digitalocean droplet to test contact syncing for work. I went with the setup that I use at home, which is Yunohost and Nextcloud. This was/is working fine to sync contacts with iOS using the built-in support for CardDav accounts in iOS....

mhzawadi ,

Is the caldev URL somehow wrong?
SSL verification could be wrong URL or wrong date even

mhzawadi ,

For my Zigbee things I use this

example:

  • 00 - Sensor - Hall - PIR - Motion
  • 01 - Switch - Bedroom 01 - Main Light

So to break it down:

  • First 2 numbers represent the floor, 00 = Ground, 01 First Floor and so on.
  • Describes the type of device.
  • Room Name.
  • Describes the Function of Device, eg PIR, Temperature Sensor, Contact Sensor….
  • Used to describe the entities of the device.
mhzawadi ,

No, if a device has multiple entities I leave the names as they are. HA will append them to the name of the device

mhzawadi ,

Not a device suggestion but a debugging suggestion, have you moved a second floor alarm with a ground floor alarm?

If not, move only 1 alarm and see if that goes off

mhzawadi ,

That's fair, was just a thought 🤔

mhzawadi ,

I use OVH for my dedi, they often have sales on -> https://eco.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/

mhzawadi ,

that looks to be almost all steaming services adding an ad-supported option, you now pay to not have ads.
