What’s amusing is I’m long time stoner. As such, I have a shit memory. I do not remember writing this comment. Nor do I remember even struggling with this. I do know that I had a bunch of .crypt domains for a while.

So your comment is hilarious because I frequently find my own comments when I’m struggling through that thing I once did that I don’t remember, documenting what I did.

I do it to help others, I call it “leaving breadcrumbs for those further back on the path” but those breadcrumbs are great when a server dies and you have to re set it up.

Kudos for being a great guy and leaving breadcrumbs. Karma likes to remind you that you’re a wonderful person sometimes, so just enjoy it, and don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Rereading my own comment, I do this, I thank people hoping they’re still active at some point. I really do believe in thanking those that help me, even if they may not see it until 10 months later, if at all. You must have been the post that slotted it all into place.

I’ve stroked a Capybara

No my point is, as a British person that uses the kettle A LOT we went out and bought one that heats up a single cup at a time, which is quicker than boiling a whole kettle.

I fill it up like a kettle and it has a little chamber underneath that it fills and heats, then the boiling water comes out of a spout into the cup.

After owning this type of kettle for over a decade I don’t think I can go back to a conventional kettle.

Meh my British kettle heats a cup of water to boiling in 30 seconds.

Faster than a microwave

So you’re trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container?

I don’t use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port?

If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever.

Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files.

Restart the stack and have 2 instances.

In all seriousness it was only a few weeks ago that I heard about a teacher in Bangladesh that did actually shoot one of his students in the leg. He apparently always brought a loaded gun into class with him in his bag.

Hello again.

I’ve gone through your steps outlined in this post now for LAN. I’ve made my own network name .crypt and added *.crypt to Adguard and pointed it at the IP address of Nginx.

I’ve then gone and mapped my local services in Nginx. So radarr.crypt sonarr.crypt plex.crypt etc and mapped them to ports.

Now what I enjoyed was that I had to map Adguard to forward to Nginx, but in Nginx I can use the IP address of anything on my network, not just on the host.

So it’s map Adguard in DNS rewrites to Nginx IP, then map the IP:ports in Proxy Hosts in Nginx.

Now when I use my Tailscale exit node (that I have from Home Assistant) I can use those addresses outside the house.

I have noticed it only works for the .crypt domains, and not .local despite being set up as well. I guess because .local is a special address it is harder to map to Tailscale.

Anyway, it’s working for me after following what you’ve done, I just did less in Tailscale because of the exit node

He’s playing my Helldivers mate, I just worked out how to share my library. I’ve just managed to unlock the Patriot Exosuit but can’t play with it because he’s always on it now…

This looks interesting, but I don’t know if it can replace anything. I have Home Assistant dashboards and Homarr. Would be nice if I could have both in one place. But this seems to be a homepage replacement for news and YouTube, not local services.

I’ll have a play once I prize my son off Hell Divers.

Bleugh Immich.

I’ve heard great things but I’m quite new to all this and can’t get the fucking thing to boot. Last night I followed their install via Portainer walkthrough to the letter, copy/pasted their files from their links they pointed at…

I’ll have it running by next weekend most likely, this keeps happening, then I learn a bunch of shit. But I really have no idea why it wouldn’t boot last night.

This all sounds awesome. So eli5 I have all my drives mounted to Proxmox, then passed through to OMV in a VM.

I can just mount these same drives to containers no issues right now, and I can add them to VMs using your link?

I would like to get down to LXCs too, but I’ve found VMs so much easier to set up and use. I’ll try your way

I share bind-mounts currently between multiple LXC from the host Proxmox OS, configuration is pretty easy, and there are lots of tutorials online for getting started.

Now then:

Are you sharing SMB mounts? I have my HDDs passed through to OMV and have considered just trying to pass them through to other VMs, but never tried because I don’t wanna break anything.

I have seen that you can share SMB to Proxmox and use them in Proxmox but don’t know if you can use them in VMs too.

As it is I really struggled with mounting smb for a couple of weeks and then had an “aha” moment last weekend, and have it all figured out now.

The Tailnet idea was so I can just mount everything to the Tailnet and stop worrying about whether it’s on this vlan or that. I was trying to set up an Openwrt container with VPN, which I could use for any container that needs a vpn, but then those containers couldn’t see the main network properly…

I’ve given up on that now and have my SMB mounts all set up, but feel like pass-through would give better network speeds for moving things around.

I hear what you’re saying and honestly it’s not something I had thought about, so thanks for that.

For myself I should be good if your prediction comes true since I already have Home Assistant through my own domain using Cloudflare. I could theoretically move all my stuff to my own domain and Nginx, etc.

I like Tailscale because I don’t have to do all that. I’m new to Self Hosting (no I’m new to running multiple VMs) so finding something that just works with minimal effort is great for a noob. I wanna learn the things (networking), but I wanna learn other things (loads!) first.

Cloudflare and a Domain wasn’t as hard as DuckDNS and Nginx, but Tailscale was easier and cheaper than that in my adventures on Home Assistant. I’ve gone from hard to easy mode.

At some point a hobby has to cost money, I may be happy to pay for Tailscale if there’s more features. I’d like to replace SMB mounts with Tailnet mounts, but currently that’s not a thing to my knowledge.

Oh and I’m not really shouting from rooftops on a self hosted Lemmy server, it’s more like a quiet chat around a campfire telling a potential newcomer and easy way. It may cost in the future or they may make enough from Businesses that they keep a free tier, but currently it’s free and easy.

Nah it sounds far too simple to “just install Tailscale and you’re good” doesn’t it? But it really is kinda that easy.

Install the Tailscale add on for Home Assistant, sign in and set up an “exit node” (it’s a menu item, easy) then install Tailscale on your phone.

Switch it on on your phone outside your network. 3 dots in the app and select “Use exit node” and select the one you set up.

Now on your browser on your phone just type in the IP address of the self hosted service (I just have my home page address set to Homarr which has them all) and you’re done.

Really damn easy, and free

Edit: That exit node you set.up is inside your network. Tailscale tunnels to that exit node inside your network without open ports, so when you do as above, you’re essentially inside your network.

I use work WiFi. Work block WhatsApp. When I connect through Tailscale via work WiFi, my WhatsApp works fine, because I’m using my own home network to send/receive messages

I have a domain I own and access through Cloudflare, but there’s also DuckDNS or Nabu Casa.

Or as someone else has pointed out, Tailscale, which is awesome, and free.

That’s to access from outside.

As for NAS, I’m currently happily using Open Media Vault.

won’t proxmox add a layer of complexity with Coral/Frigate/a Zigbee dongle?

Nah, just pass it through

Honestly I wouldn’t worry too much, I mean yeah get one with a fan but it’s not integral to getting it running.

Install Home Assistant Operating System on an SSD when you can, SD cards aren’t made for the read/write you’ll get from HAOS but again, it’s not integral.

So yeah do those things, but boot it without a case and SSD for now and just play with it. Get the Google drive backup add-on for it. When you upgrade to an SSD just pull the backup from there and you’re golden.

I tried to spin up a Homarr docker container the other day after seeing it on YouTube, but because it’s located in ghcr it just wouldn’t install.

I even added ghcr to my resources in docker using my password and an API key, but still no dice.

I’m missing something obvious, but I’m not sure what, any pointers?

Edit: I’ve just tried again and this time it hasn’t failed with an error message, just hanging in Portainer stacks deployment instead

Edit 2: I left it hanging and checked while I was out and about (love Tailscale)and it’s working now!

I have my router point everything through my DNS servers, a main one and a backup on a pi3b, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Except for Wifey. She hates ad blocking with a passion, so I’ve set her phones to use Google DNS servers.

Wifey also does not care one jot for what I’m playing with, it’s mainly my 13 year old ATM. Wifey likes having TV shows appear when they air in the States and that’s it.

She’s an odd one but I love her a great deal.

I shall have a look into avahi just because I’ve heard of it but never known what it actually does. Thanks
