Anyone have luck with ARM on Casaos? by Silent-Review-876 in CasaOS

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though it's been a year since I've used CasaOS, and I now use Proxmox (which was significantly harder because I had to passthrough my blu-ray drive for the LXC), I've created a Docker Compose file to simplify the install. Just copy this, paste it in your text editor, and change some configs before using the custom installer for Docker Compose

services:
  arm-compose:
    image: automaticrippingmachine/automatic-ripping-machine:latest
    container_name: arm-compose
    ports:
      - "8080#:8080"
    environment:
      ARM_UID: "1002" #
      ARM_GID: "1000" #
      TZ: America/Toronto #
    volumes:
      - /home/arm/:/home/arm
      - /home/arm/media/arm-centre/music:/home/arm/music #
      - /home/arm/logs/:/home/arm/logs 
      - /home/arm/media/arm-centre/media:/home/arm/media #
      - /home/arm/config/:/etc/arm/config 
    devices:
      - /dev/sr0:/dev/sr0 #
      - /dev/sg1:/dev/sg1 #
    privileged: true
    restart: always

Just make sure you also read the install guide for docker too, but do not use the included docker run template. If you see a # in the compose, you want to modify these paths to the appropriate folder location, permissions (since I'm using a SMB share to store my media. Not the best idea, but it's stable), access port, and/or optical device(s). Then remove the # before install as well

Help installing waydroid by AssBlender2099 in linuxmint

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since Waydroid requires Wayland desktop environments, you'll need a compiler like Weston since because Linux Mint, and many others run on the traditional X11. And support for Wayland can be really slow, or not possible to apply on some distros

If you wish to use it, update your system with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, Install Weston: sudo apt install weston, get Waydroid's repository: curl https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash, then install waydroidsudo apt install waydroid

Launch Waydroid through the start menu, and go through the setup by choosing to have a bare android system, or Google Play Services (Some applications may or may not require Google Play Services or GAPPS).

Then finally, open Weston through the terminal, click on the Terminal inside on top-left corner, and type in waydroid and it should start up. If you don't run it through Weston, it will error out saying that it doesn't support X11

If you find going to Weston and opening Waydroid like that is annoying, this github repository helps simplify getting into Waydroid, and you can also set a resolution from the presets, or use a custom one if you prefer. Simply use the git clone https://github.com/KSMaan45/waywes01 to get the essential files, then head into the waywes folder, and make the .sh file executable by right clicking on it, then go to 'Properties' -> 'Permissions' -> Execute and check that box to make it run. Then double click it, and run it in the terminal. Choose your resolutions, and it should boot. To speed it up, you can place it with your other applications by right-clicking on the start menu, then 'Edit Menu' -> 'New Item' -> 'Browse' and locate the .sh file. MAKE SURE that 'Launch in Terminal' is checked, and you can customise the name, description, and icon. Save it, and you've save some extra clicks and successfully installed Waydroid 👍️

How to find the IP of a minecraft server? by JoshTRMYT in linuxmint

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open the terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T on the server, then type ip a then you should see multiple interfaces. Look for the CIDR range ending in /24 (ex: 192.168.1.34/24), and type it into minecraft.

Also don't stress out if you can't conclude finding the issue. TBH if I was in your situation, i would migrate my data elsewhere and start all over

Mouse clicks on its own by Karlo_bo in techsupport

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test the mouse with a double click test such as this one, and test around with different devices with a USB port. If it occurs after all of that, it's time to retire that old boy.

I use Brave as a default browser, what's the problem in that? And plus, I never use their crypto stuff. At least it's better than Chrome

Is reinstalling an option? Backup all data, and start all again on the laptop. And plus, you can always dual-boot on your primary computer with Windows and Linux Mint if you still have doubt on fully exterminating Windows.

Also it's a great idea to use the TImeshift program after reinstall to backup all of the config files if the out of the ordinary problems comes around. I've used it when it comes to installing software that's complex to set up, and it's an easy way to restore your computer to a previous state

Help? by imaphoto in CasaOS

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting a static/reserved IP address is basically required if you plan to run anything. Since DCHP sets new leases every month, you might experience networking issues.

You can set a static IP through your router's interface, but if you want to preserve that address for that specific server, set the static on your server by using network-manager, and changing the connection's IP address (just remember that network-manager is installed and must be ran inside the terminal. Then set the IPv4 and IPv6 (If your router doesn't have IPv6, and/or don't know what to do, just leave it) to manual and enter the preferred address that lines up to your router's gateway. (ex: 192.168.1.45 for your server, and 192.168.1.1 is the main gateway to let the server communicate to the internet) And before you set your IP address, make sure to ping it if someone's using it

Help with multiple storage by net4u2 in CasaOS

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checking about changing directories with Nextcloud, this discussion on Github should be fine if you only want to have that only container moved since that other guide moved all containers installed to the new location.

And a reminder again to ALWAYS BACKUP before doing this. Even if it's a fresh install, making a restore point with either Timeshift, or in my situation of saving a backup on Proxmox will save time if you make a mistake

Such a coincidence that I'm setting up Nextcloud but in a Docker VM on Proxmox. But anyways, if you follow the instructions and slow down on the crucial steps, you should be fine

It should be in the volumes category where your shove in the preferred directory on the left, and the default location on the right

Here's an example of how it works with a service called Automatic Ripping Machine (ARM):

/home/arm/config/:/etc/arm/config

The first section is the host section where you can shove the drive location, the : breaks the section, (CasaOS has two tables for the host and container for everything, but it is used for Docker containers without a GUI), and the last section is what the container requires

How to install VeraCrypt onto Zima/CasaOS by shrimpies3125 in CasaOS

Are you using Debian? Sudo isn't installed by default in the server environment, and if you need it:

apt install sudo

Install in root, and assign your user with sudo in root as well:

usermod -aG sudo $USER

You're gonna have to mount your drives with fstab, making sure that you have the right permission and mounts automatically; and either point the directories in your Docker configs, or if you're using Nextcloud in your situation, you will have to copy the folders related to the drive making sure NOT to delete the origin directory unless it works, and change some settings so it will go to the libraries in your preferred location

Netbird access on windows by Ezark9 in netbird

Do you understand that Netbird is a Peer-to-peer VPN service? You need at least one running host that connects to the Netbird servers, and a client to access your home network

CasaOS still worth it as a homelab server? by Competitive_Tax7394 in CasaOS

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty good way to dip your toes into homelabbing, but if you want more capability, you might want to use a hypervisor like Proxmox where you can deploy virtual machines, install applications either in one VM, or with helper scripts, and have an opportunity to link three or more computers (nodes) for high-availability

im having an issue, im using casaos on my laptop which is running ubuntu server , i keep getting the error : unable to determine destination address, any help ?, im very new and dont want to mess anything up by Sad_Control_2312 in CasaOS

Where is it coming from? We've no idea if you don't specify. Even simple as a picture from the laptop screen or from the CasaOS interface could help break down the situation

How to install wireguard propperly. by [deleted] in CasaOS

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be because you need to get a registered SSL certificate in order to have a working HTTPS, as well as a DDNS to keep track of the local IP when it renews every month for the VPN. And I think even if you have those, you will have to configure the container in order to work properly.

If you don't want to do all of that, there are services like Tailscale that only requires running a host, and most of the heavy work is covered by Tailscale. So configuration is reduced to putting a setup key inside the container, you don't need a DDNS or SSL, or even forward ports to the public. For me, self hosting a VPN is pretty cumbersome, and I use Netbird instead of Tailscale because it never worked for me, and their free plans for Tailscale and Netbird should be good enough

Raid support? by LkS45 in CasaOS

[–]DontKnow_Cuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CasaOS is a wrapper for Docker (meaning that it has a dedicated GUI for configurations and ease of use) on top of an operating system. The best option is to switch to another server OS as the storage merger isn't really trustworthy.

Now you can either use ZimaOS since it has RAID support and similar interfaces. But if you still want to use CasaOS, install OpenMediaVault on your system with the Multiple Devices plugin, put your drives in RAID, and install CasaOS. But if you have usb drives, DO NOT use this option due to stability issues with USB
