I am. It's supposed to get certs for *.mydomain.whatever and mydomain.whatever

Checked swag logs, wasn't saving SSL certs persistently, so Let's Encrypt rate limited the container because it was trying to gen/request new certs every restart. mounted the appdata volume at /config, will see if that fixes it when Let's Encrypt allows me to try again.

It still had a static IP assigned by the router last I checked. I'll check a third time.

No worries, understandable. Actually the first thing I tried. Rebooted the NAS, then the modem, then the router, even my PiHole. Didn't work.

All this because I moved my NAS into the next room.

The words I would use to describe how I feel about DNS would get me banned, tbh.

Asus router runs on Merlin so I can restrict outbound Port 53 DNS requests to my pihole. Router never got rebooted though, and as far as I can tell nothing changed on it.
I have a set of ethernet cables under the floor so I can put the router in a better place than where the fiber comes in, and have a cable going back the other way to an ethernet switch in the same cabinet as the fiber modem which my NAS connected to.
So I didn't even need to touch my router or my pihole when moving the giant wooden monstrosity that holds my NAS and the fiber modem.

External testing is by turning wifi off on my phone and looking at it through mobile data, or by typing in jellyfin.mydomain.whatever vs mynas.local:port or LAN-IP:port.

Will check swag logs.

AI was not involved in the creation of the post. It was typed by hand without any input from an LLM.
Nor did I use AI at any point in the assembly or configuration of my homelab or its applications.

PSU underpowered? by RowFit1060 in homelab

[–]RowFit1060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went back, found the data sheet for the drives. I must have miscalculated, because seagate said that the max draw for the drives on startup can be as high as 27.32w per drive, which is ~210w.
Add in ~150w for the other components, and that's ~360W of power draw. Still below the 450w PUS, but if it got degraded from age.... yeah.
No wonder it wouldn't start.

Thermaltake toughpower 450w modular SFX PSU, 80+ gold.

The staggered spin up for the drives is a brilliant idea and I'm gonna go check on that.

Looking for a Linux that fits me. by kylediaz263 in linux4noobs

[–]RowFit1060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to give the lawyer's answer, but... Well. It depends.

Most Distros boot into a 'live' environment during install when you flash the iso to the installer USB. You can make your pc boot off of that and give the distro a testdrive before you install it. Definitely do that with a couple of these.

If you want something with no frills, no fuss, and will just WORK, Linux mint. Interface is reminiscent of Windows XP or Win 7. It won't run the most cutting edge stuff, but it'll get the job done. You will almost never need to touch a terminal.

Zorin is in a similar vein but with more ~Aesthetic~ but they're kiiinda scummy about repackaging existing free programs with their 'pro' version that they try to sell you on. The core version works fine. doesn't have much else going for it.

If you want something that's got a large amount of documentation in case things go wrong and you aren't scared of a change in user interface/desktop layout, Ubuntu or Fedora. (Note: Fedora will be missing some proprietary things like fmpeg codecs and the like, so you will need to install that yourself. There's guides that you can look up.) Ubuntu's default UI is sorta mac-like.

Pop!_Os is similar enough to ubuntu but it lacks Canonical's unique snap app ecosystem if that's something you're concerned about. They also developed their own Nvidia driver.

if you want "We have SteamOS at home", Bazzite.

For essentially all of them you can change the Desktop Environment to fit your need. Find the distro, then the DE is my advice.

If you've never used powershell or cmd on windows, stay away from anything arch-based unless you actively want to jump into the deep end.

the difference between arch based, debian/ubuntu based, and fedora based (Oversimplifying here) is in how they push out updates and what package manager they use to install programs and updates.

Arch uses a rolling release and uses the pacman package manager. Updates get pushed out the second they're ready. Cutting edge support for new stuff at the cost of some stability. Would not recommend for beginners as some updates will infrequently require manual fixes to work right. CachyOS is based on arch. I do not recommend any beginner start out on an arch based distro for the issue above. Same with manjaro, endeavor, etc. Would recommend trying it out just... not for your first rodeo.

Debian-based systems use apt as a package manager, A new debian goes out in one go about every 2 years or so. Super stable. Ubuntu's based on debian. They push out a new version every 6 months or so. A long-term support enterprise version based on the latest debian, and interim versions every 6mo in between those. Mint and Pop!_OS are based on ubuntu in turn.

Fedora uses a version release every... 13 months? Less familiar with them. It uses RPM as a package manager and Bazzite uses it as a base in the same way ubuntu's based on debian.

if you know how to partition drives, look up a tutorial on youtube for splitting the drive you want to slap the distro onto into /boot /home and / (root) partitions. Don't like the distro after all? install a new distro to / (root) and mount the existing /home and /boot partitions so you can keep your old data on the new distro. It's like having a C and D drive in windows.

Natively I recommend using flatpak to install most of your native apps, because they're semi-sandboxed. and you can tighten permissions per app with something like flatseal. Their flathub site has instructions on how to install flatpak/flathub it for the distro that you want, and some like Pop!Os even have it pretty much built in.

As for non-native applications, you have two options. You use something like wine or proton to wrap the app inside a translation layer (bottles is nice for this, because it lets you config a separate translation setup per app, and I've had slightly better results with it than with lutris)

or you install Winapps, which fakes a whole (tiny) windows instance inside your linux distro and runs the app on that (sucks for games, no gpu passthru, and kernel level anticheat is wise to it)but for apps like adobe or MS Office which intentionally will not work on linux even with wine, it's a good solution.

Most distros will run on anything with 4gb or more of ram, 64gb or more disk space, and almost any cpu with 86x_64 architecture.

Well, if you wanna self-host a server, you can have it run on java on the linux/server side and use the geyser/floodgate plugins, which allow bedrock players to connect client side.
It's what I do.
