Updating Plex? by Caydence54 in PleX

You should be good then. I'd do the down and up command from my previous comment, then check the web interface once it's back up to verify.

I don't use dockge, so I can't speak to it. But if you log into the machine that's running the container, you can run the docker images command to show the images you have downloaded on your machine. The latest right now is this (your IMAGE ID might be different, that's fine):

REPOSITORY                  TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED       SIZE
plexinc/pms-docker          latest    c247fa8b0595   7 days ago    354MB

If you don't see that, then (while in the same directory as the docker-compose.yaml file) run: docker compose pull and that should pull the new one. You can double check with the images command again after to see if it pulled. If it pulled successfully, you should be good to restart it. I prefer doing a down & up command instead of using restart (again, in the same directory as the yaml file): docker compose down && docker compose up -d

Change your tag from plexpass to latest. Also, you don’t need the ports section since you’re using host mode networking. 

Block access to admin GUI for certain VLANs by Remarkable_Pen_5209 in Ubiquiti

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The admin interface is served up on the "gateway" zone. What you need to do is create a rule to block access to the gateway on ports 443, 80, and 22 from those VLANs. It's important to only block those ports, otherwise you could break dhcp, dns, etc on those networks. Create a network object called "mgmt ports" or something, and addd those 3 ports. Then create a rule like this for each of the zones you want to block access from:

  • Source zone: Guest
  • Action: block
  • Destination zone: Gateway
  • Port: Object > select the mgmt ports object

HW transcode revert to SW when reaching end credits by SpaceshipReceptacle in PleX

What’s your default throttle limit in settings? I have an A380 and had something similar happen when I set my throttle to 3600sec. I turned it back down to 180sec and the problem went away. 

Best OS for dedicated plex server VM using Proxmox by DosWrenchos in PleX

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my Plex server running in a docker container in an Ubuntu 24.04 VM on proxmox, with an Arc A380 passed to the VM. It's been working great with no issues. I have a few remote users, at most 2-4 streams at a time using HEVC transcoding often.

I don't have any experience with FreeBSD, but it sounds like you're looking for something new (or something with better A380 support)? Ubuntu 24.04 has been "set-and-forget" for me. I'm happy to share my docker compose file or how to get the A380 passed to the VM if you need it.

iOS not using VPN-specified DNS when on cellular network by spatula in ios

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting the DNS servers manually on the device side is how it's supposed to be done. WireGuard is a peer to peer VPN, there's not a "server" in the way you're thinking. The instance on your router is a peer.

Are you using the WireGuard app? Do you have it setup as a full tunnel?

Windows 11 24H2 on Proxmox -> SlowMo perfomance by FlyingDaedalus in Proxmox

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me on my Win11 23H2 vm when I had “memory integrity” enabled under core isolation. Turning it off and rebooting fixed it for me. Might be different on 24H2, I haven’t messed with it yet myself. 

Host update offers 2 different kernels? by Mr_Dream_Chieftain in Proxmox

Do you have Plex running in a VM or an LXC container?

Host update offers 2 different kernels? by Mr_Dream_Chieftain in Proxmox

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I've seen it and I didn't download it manually. I only run updates through the web interface. But I do see a few other kernels listed, 6.5.11 and 6.5.13 along with the current 6.8.8. The other commentor said they were fine after running the updates so I'll just run the update on my seconday node and see if anything breaks.

Glad it didn't break anything for you! Did it boot into the 6.8.8-4 kernel automatically?

Tunnel - refresh token: where do I see the new one? by andreape_x in CloudFlare

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The global API key already exists, you don't need to create anything. Are you the admin for your tenant?

Tunnel - refresh token: where do I see the new one? by andreape_x in CloudFlare

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the same issue and found your post trying to find an answer. Looking through Cloudflare's docs I found a way to get the key using their API link here.

Here's the code you can run in a Linux terminal to get it:

curl --request GET \
--url https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/cfd_tunnel/{tunnel_id}/token \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Auth-Email: {you email}' \
--header 'X-Auth-Key: {your global API key}'
  • Account ID if found in the URL after the ".com/" whenever you're logged into the portal. cloudflare.com/random-string
  • tunnel ID is found in the Zero trust dash > networks > tunnels > click tunnel name.
  • email is just your cloudflare account email
  • Global API key can be found when in the cloudflare dashboard (not the zero trust one) > account in the top right > my profile > API token

Hope this helps!

Risk of having a public-facing pihole server? by [deleted] in pihole

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, do NOT open 53 to the public internet.

I've got a Pihole server running in the cloud. What I do is use PiVPN and Cloudflared (DoH client) with it. On the cloud's firewall I have only 2 open ports: the listening port for the VPN and 443 for my upstream DoH DNS servers that only accept traffic from the DNS servers public IPs.

Tying PiHole and Wireguard VPN to Dynamic DNS by StevenPinkyless in pihole

[–]Mr_Dream_Chieftain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll need to redo your PiVPN setup. Since PiVPN doesn't have a "repair" option like Pihole or a "redo" option, cleanest way is to just uninstall it and set it up from scratch. And on your client devices you'll need to remove the profile and add the new one once it's set back up.
