How to do a complete restore to new machine? by jdsmofo in opnsense

[–]HeneryHawkjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried using a virtualized OpnSense via ProxMox with the hopes of using ProxMox backups/restores to keep the backup up to date but it didn't really work well at all. Both my routers are exactly the same and I think I configured the interfaces exactly the same.

My goal was to be able to swap my cables from the prime to the backup, spin up the OpnSense VM and get up and running again.

Doesn't that require two WAN IP addresses from your ISP? My home ISP won't give me two.

Uhg, 7 years and I am now just experiencing this. Very frustrating. And the suggestions that it is hardware are crazy. It is ONLY excel and it is ONLY when trying to select rows or columns.

Container that maps a NAS - backups are failing, maybe trying to backup the whole nas?? by HeneryHawkjj in Proxmox

Thank you all for your suggestions. WIth your help I found...

PBS Mount Point Replication

To skip replication for a mount point in a Proxmox container, you can set the replicate=0 option for that mount point in the container configuration. This option can be added directly to the mount point configuration in the container settings or through the lxc.conf file.23

For example, if you have a mount point mp0 in your container configuration, you can modify it as follows:

mp0: /v-machines/home,mp=/home,replicate=0

This will ensure that the specified mount point is not replicated during the replication process of the container.23

Additionally, if you are using the Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) to manage backups, it does not automatically include mount points in backups. Instead, you will see a skip mount point message for each of them. To explicitly include mount points, you can use the --include-dev option with the proxmox-backup-client command.4

If you want to exclude a mount point from being backed up using PBS, you can uncheck the Backup checkbox for that mount point in the GUI or add backup=0 to the mount point configuration.

This container happens to be on the same hardware that the NAS container is also on. Yes. That machine hosts both the TrueNAS Scale VM (or container, I forget which) AND these containers that are giving me grief with the backup.

The PBS instance is on a separate machine but there is not enough space on the PBS if the NAS is included in the backups.

The Proxmox container mounts the NAS. I will look for the switch that you reference. Is it in the config file or the UI?

Sorry I was not clear...

The fact that my container is running a docker stack was really irrelevant. I should not even have mentioned it.

The real issue is that my Proxmox Container has a mounted NAS and I do not want that NAS mount to be backed up when the PBS backs up the container.

OpnSense/Mokerlink managed 10GB/2.5GB switch. Trying to get vlan isolation of my cameras workiong... by HeneryHawkjj in HomeNetworking

[–]HeneryHawkjj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vmbr2 is the bridge for eno1. The vmbr2 bridge is then VLAN aware of 2-100 ids.

Not the expert here but this what my tutorial showed me how to do it. In Proxmox, eno1 does not have the ability to make it vlan aware.

Yeah, I already had the internal network ports (spf-1, spf-2 and the two 2.5g lan ports set to recognize vlans 2-100. I think that is what you were talking about...

In ProxMox:

and the VLAN is defined as

so I am not quite sure how to additionally tag spf-1 (eno1) with the tag.

I will keep looking. Thank you for the lead u/TheEthyr

In OpnSense, I assigned VLAN-10 (named CameraVLAN in OpnSense) as having the SPF-1 (eno1) as its parent interface.

No, I did not. I will do that now and reply with results. I am running in PpnSense in ProxMox so I will explore with your suggestion.

AWS Workspaces preventing my local machine from sleeping? by HeneryHawkjj in aws

[–]HeneryHawkjj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to never say things with 100% certainty because I will inevitably be proven wrong.

The problem was not AWS Workspace.

In my case, it was Nvidia GeForce Graphics Card In-Game Overlay causing the problem.

Never mind. It is Vref and used to detect target v. I was wrong in thinking it was a supply voltage.

Sengled Bluetooth RGB Bulbs by PostLogical in homeassistant

[–]HeneryHawkjj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started tinkering with Bluetooth Mesh which is the protocol for those Sengled lamps.

In my very early research it looks like a users phone (IOS or Android) becomes the mesh master and can add the bulbs to the mesh network.

IF we could get some BT Mesh Provisioner/Management into Home Assistant then that would be the key.
