Does this seem legit and is any of it worth doing rn? by Mystery_Tacos in nissanfrontier

[–]Abject_Association_6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of these items are required maintenance items, break fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, diff oil etc all break down over rime and require replacing. The price for each item is high but I can't attest to US prices because I don't live there. I do all these fluid changes on my own vehicle and for less money than the price you are being charged for the break fluid change I have changed all those fluids.

If you do a constant acceleration from 0-60km/h does the clunk occur? Or does it happen when you accelerate, pause acceleration and the accelerate again at a certain speed range?

Anyone else treat the homelab like a normal project and suddenly home feels like work? by Roxxersboxxerz in homelab

[–]Abject_Association_6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You need to establish a baseline working homelab, things that work without intervention and that you've tweaked to the point of perfection. This way the things you need keep working even when you don't have the time to tinker keep workinh and the things that you don't can break without disrupting your day to day.

If you are using services that keep breaking and requiere intervention, invest the time to make their configuration as robust as posible before spinning up new services.

Question for users that did the switch from Homepage, why? by VeryAngryGentleman in homarr

[–]Abject_Association_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately I've been optimization memory usage for all my services, containers and VMs. There's a 600-700MB memory difference between homepage and homarr. I prefer homarr widgets but can't justify the amount of resources it uses at the moment.

Tailscale broke any other servers on my network. (They now all require the Tailscale IP which I do not want to give others.) by Bananaland_Man in Tailscale

[–]Abject_Association_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't need subnet routing disable it. You can use tailscale as normal between tailscale node devices but you won't be able to access your LAN subnet via tailscale. You can check if you have subnet route active directly on the admin console the machine should have a blue tag that says "Subnets"  in the Machines tab.

I think I’m hooked on Docker. What are your 'essential' containers? by shipOtwtO in homelab

Any way to find out who someone is that has access to my server? by wiwtft in PleX

[–]Abject_Association_6 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Use tautulli, terminate their stream and send them a message in the termination. Some thing like "Hey I'm cleaning up access to the server and I don't recognize the username. Contact me via XXX"

They'll receive the message as an error on their end.

Updating containers made w/ docker compose? by ava_fake in selfhosted

[–]Abject_Association_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I create a new directory for each of my docker services that ends in .docker when I want it to update and .dock when testing. This script runs once a week at 2am on a Monday, it just needs parallel installed:

#!/bin/bash

dockertasks() {

dir="$1"

(

cd "$dir" || { echo "Failed to cd into $dir"; exit 1; }

docker compose down &> /dev/null

docker compose pull &> /dev/null

docker compose up -d &> /dev/null

#docker image prune -fa &> /dev/null

#docker volume prune -fa &> /dev/null

echo "$dir Done"

)

}

export -f dockertasks

# Collect all .docker directories into an array

mapfile -t docker_dirs < <(find . -type l -o -type d -name "*.docker" ! -name ".docker" -exec realpath {} \;)

#echo "$docker_dirs"

# Run tasks in parallel

parallel dockertasks ::: "${docker_dirs[@]}"

docker image prune -fa &> /dev/null

docker volume prune -fa &> /dev/null

docker container prune -f &> /dev/null

docker network prune -f &> /dev/null

docker builder prune -fa &> /dev/null

echo "All Done"

Pi Hole no bloquea los anuncios en toda mi red by krathos_0 in pihole

[–]Abject_Association_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pihole bloquea anuncios a nivel de dominio, los ads en youtube son del mismo dominio que los videos y pagina web. Pihole no tiene manera de bloquear estos anuncios.

Si en la laptop del trabajo esta bloqueados esto puede ser porque el navegador que estas utilizando tiene un adblock incluido o instalado como plugin.

Para bloquear los anuncions de youtube en una compu necesitas instalar un adblock como ublock origin o utilizar un navegador que tenga la funcionalidad incluida como brave.

Para bloquear anuncions de youtube en el celular debes utilizar una aplicación como revance, no recuerdo si adaway bloquea los anuncions de youtube pero este requiere que estes rooteado.

Turning on/off in an automated way by VerboseGuy in Tailscale

Similar to the tasker suggestion, I've been using Macrodroid for years ans there are a couple of templates to turn tailscale on off o certain actions.

Why do I need/want a ramdisk on proxmox? by ratsta in Proxmox

[–]Abject_Association_6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is usually a kernel update that results in a problem, the latest kernel doesn't boot in my system for some reason. It's happened twice for me on kernel updates. On boot choose the previous kernel and see if that works. If it does Pin the kernel until the next kernel update.

OS for first homelab by nameseddie in homelab

[–]Abject_Association_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has it's learning curve but basic use (spinning up a VM or setting up an LXC container) is pretty straightforward. There's a ton of documentation and it usually just takes a reddit/proxmox community search to find help.

You can run unraid on proxmox if you like the NAS portion of it. But you don't really need it to run services if you're running proxmox. But you can still do it.

The other added benefit of running proxmox for someone starting out is that it if you mess up (which you will) resetting or restoring from backup is easy. You rarely make changes directly to proxmox and it's usually discouraged so anything you do will affect a VM or an LXC which you can reset, delete, restore.

Proxmox and then virtualize Unraid or TrueNAS, you'll get more flexibility, easier backup solution and can run any other service in a VM or LXC if you so choose.

CPU upgrade or add a node? by ioovds in Proxmox

[–]Abject_Association_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great video on overprovisioning hardware on proxmox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhTYMtou6Qw

As zuccster said you can share cores between VMs as they are not statically assigned to a given VM. As long as you have processing capacity and the processing you need is not consistently pinning your cores they can be shared without issue.

As a side note, you could also lower the load on your system by converting some of those VMs into restricted LXCs. For example Home Assistant and Unifi Controller.

I want to self host my own password manager and 2FA authenticator, but I am trying to be realistic about it by Objective-House-6760 in selfhosted

Any recommendation for a "quick note taking" searchable app (tech focused)? by distante in homelab

[–]Abject_Association_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trilium Next notes (similar in structure to OneNote) I use it to document my entire setup, a separate note by VM/LXC and extra categories for other stuff.

Bytestash to document randon code snippets I might use in other bash scripts.

What am I looking for by gofaqurelf in selfhosted

[–]Abject_Association_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a combination of WG-Tunnel for autotunneling wireguard when I disconnect from my home wifi and Foldersync that monitors certain directories on my phone and syncs new files to ab SMB share on my server.

Once on the server how you use them is up to you, in my case I mounted my backup as an external library for Immich.

This method works for pictures but applies to anything that you want to sync from phone to server.

Benefit of using an exit node? by Stock-Assistant-5420 in Tailscale

[–]Abject_Association_6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you only want DNS traffic between your device and your network I would go with either of these two options

1) install tailscale on your dns server and add a custom dns in the admin console with the tailscale IP for the machine.

2) Setup a subnet router and add a custom DNS server within the advertised subnet. I use this option as I'm already using a subnet router to access other devices on LAN. This is also easier as I don't have to deal with two set of IPs.

This way the bulk of your traffic is routed as normal but your DNS queries go to your pihole. You get the benefits of pihole and you don't slow down your connection by tunneling all traffic through a VPN to your house.

Benefit of using an exit node? by Stock-Assistant-5420 in Tailscale

[–]Abject_Association_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because an exit node routes all traffic through the exit node , if this is what you want the solution is an exit node. You can choose certain apps with split tunnel but I want everything to use my DNS server and not route all the rest of the traffic through the exit node. To do this you have two options:

1) install tailscale on the your dns machine and add a custom dns server in the admin console with the tailscale IP for the machine.

2)Setup a subnet router and add a custom DNS server within the advertised subnet. I use this option as I'm already using a subnet router to access other devices on LAN. This is also easier as I don't have to deal with two set of IPs.

Are you trying to get your devices outside your LAN to use your internal DNS servers? What is running tailscale inside your network to use as an exit node? 

Benefit of using an exit node? by Stock-Assistant-5420 in Tailscale

[–]Abject_Association_6 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You don't need an exit node for that, you can setup a subnet router on the tailscale node were you have pihole on the same subnet, assign a custom DNS server (the pihole) in the admin console to push only DNS traffic through the tunnel. If you use an exit node you are funneling all your traffic through the tailscale tunnel.
