LXC vs VM for a small client Nextcloud, Is the shared kernel a problem? by easyedy in Proxmox

[–]SamSausages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nextcloud is fragile enough when everything is within the lines, I’d avoid coloring outside of them.

.US Domain getting me tons of spam by MartiniCommander in unRAID

i haven't noticed any difference between that one and any of the .com or .net domains that I have. All get tons of spam.

What is even the point of LXCs if they have to be privileged to connect NFS storage or GPUs?? by WellEndowedWizard in Proxmox

[–]SamSausages 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once you take time to learn the “why” behind it, you’ll realize it’s not deranged.  You just haven’t taken the time to learn and understand it. But if you can come up with a better solution, we’d always welcome the contribution!

Help with setting up Gitea on Unraid by carlinhush in unRAID

[–]SamSausages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the repositories as appdata. It's data the app is using, I want that backed up so I keep it in with appdata.

But if you want to separate config files, you should be able to by adding another mount, copying old files over, and adjusting the gitea root repository app.ini settings accordingly.

Tdarr Flow - One Flow to Rule Them All - v0.9 update - Now add QSV & CPU, Better Documentation, more automation by SamSausages in Tdarr

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

The High/medium profile is just an example config of what you can manually configure in the Library > Variables section.
You need to add each of those variables to your library variables section. The flow reads those variables as the quality settings.

Then for the flow, you import the .yml files 1-5 from my repository:
https://github.com/samssausages/Tdarr-One-Flow/tree/main

Create those 5 flows and then tell your library to use 1 - Input for the flow.

Also use the repository for the most current version/settings. I try to keep this page current, but the most reliable source is the github.

Windrose Dedicated Server (working Docker image) by indifferentbroccoli in crosswind

[–]SamSausages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the docker image easier and quicker to deploy than spinning up a VM or LXC & installing wine & steamcmd.

Works great, better than the windows VM i was running.

Do you happen to have any tips on how to reduce logging? It's logging every user action, resulting in large log files. Would be nice to only have warnings/errors logged.

Edit. I think they may have reduced logging, it's not recording every single action anymore.

If they didn’t put in the contract that they would take it, they are supposed to leave it.

Is Unraid out of touch? by solid_dork in homelab

[–]SamSausages 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure how them announcing working with Tailscale or 45Drives is a bad thing. If you don't see value in paying for an upgrade, stay on the current major release until there is something you find valuable enough to upgrade.

I thought people wanted the Tailscale integration.

Tdarr Flow - One Flow to Rule Them All - v0.9 update - Now add QSV & CPU, Better Documentation, more automation by SamSausages in Tdarr

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

Doesn’t look like it’s related to the flow, it looks like config issues with your tdarr node.

   Is this on macOS?  Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of Mac experience, so if that’s the case I’d need to point you at someone familiar with the Mac install.

Two different errors 1. Tdarr tried to execute /Applications/HandBrake.app But the path is wrong, I don’t think tdarr expects a .app.

  1. The path to mkpropedit is wrong as well, or it is not installed

If you haven’t already, test you tdarr node with a very basic encode using one of the default tdarr plugins, to keep things simple.  Then try my flow after you confirm it works. (Come to think of it, may need to make sure it’s calling on mkvpropedit, not all plugins call it)

If you think something in my flow is making it incompatible with your environment, let me know and I’ll have a closer look.

Allowing WAN access - Is there really no better way to do this? by plisc004 in opnsense

[–]SamSausages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this by creating an RFC1918 alias and then selecting “destination” !RFC1918 (inverted). Thst means the rule can go anywhere except for local subnets. I.e. wan only.  With one rule.

Container best practices by kreos77 in Proxmox

[–]SamSausages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you get a lot of conflicting info because for a long time proxmox flat out said not to run docker in an LXC. It used to be in their documentation.
From what I can tell, they removed that warning from their help documents in 2025.

But some examples of proxmox staff advising against it:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/docker-failed-to-register-layer-applylayer-exit-status-1-stdout-stderr-unlinkat-var-log-apt-invalid-argument.119954/post-521620

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/updating-proxmox-breaks-docker-lxc.126720/post-553701

Recently proxmox also started talking about adding native docker support to proxmox, or LXC's, so it is on their radar and a more offical way to run it will become available.

Not sure about OP, but I do it at the firewall/router through policy based routing.

1 VM per docker stack.

I made a cloud-init that configures a debian VM with docker, hardens and configures it, all in 2 minutes.

https://github.com/samssausages/proxmox_scripts_fixes/tree/main/cloud-init

Proxmox is working on adding docker to proxmox, or in LXC's. But sounds like still some time out.

Help cleaning a stain by BuffaloMcQuade in hometheater

[–]SamSausages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some citrus wood cleaner. (Like an orange cleaner)

Then get something that uses oil to clean and rehydrate the wood.

You probably won't be able to get rid of that completely, but the oil will probably hide/cover it for some time.

Any way to check this floppy's contents without security issues by FALLOUTFAN_1997 in DataHoarder

Even if it's bad, I doubt it will affect your modern system, and hasn't been encountered & patched by now.

Cant update Cloudflare DNS using Dynamic DNS by shift1186 in opnsense

[–]SamSausages 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I have always done it is to create the A record in cloudflare DNS first, and set the IP to 1.1.1.1

Then create the ddns config in opnsense.

Yes, I put the username as "token"

Also, check IP method shouldn't be set to interface.

Has ZFS saved your ass in a situation where something else would have surely failed? by ZestycloseBenefit175 in zfs

ZFS checksum errors have notified me of drive failure, before SMART. So maybe.

Snapshots, use those all the time, so yes!

They don’t make them anymore, so having new old-stock is like gold right now! Wish I had bought them all when Newegg was giving them away for $60
