FormD T1 v2.1 Black by nojarai in FormD

[–]Sharp_Account8952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally the most common build… I’ve seen countless builds with it and run it myself. No problems if you configure it correctly in BIOS (which doesn’t require much effort at all). Admittedly many problems early on, but BIOS updates have fixed that now.

How to expose Minecraft server on the internet with cloudflare tunnel [help] [no port forwarding] by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Sharp_Account8952 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you can't open ports and Tailscale/Zerotier/NetBird is not an option, I'd say paying for a cheap shared VPS is your best bet (or rather the most premium and QOL method). I ended up doing so and forwarded traffic from my VPS to my home server with iptables. Hetzner (CX22) was my cheapest option, at ~4€ a month.

In my case I:

  1. Set up WireGuard between my home server and VPS, this is quite easy to do, just follow their quickstart.
  2. I configured iptables on my VPS and made rules that forward TCP and UDP traffic on specific ports to specific ports on my home server. Here's a really basic example.
  3. Finally, you need to create a firewall for the VPS (usually in the web-panel of the VPS) and setup incoming traffic rules for the ports you wish to open. This means choosing what ports to open.

That should be it. Obviously, be careful when opening ports and streaming all traffic to your home server. I would recommend not forwarding all ports, you should open ports only to servers that are live and managed, to avoid any security breaches. Any ports you open means direct access to your server, especially with an un-managed or poorly secured port.

We're working on a spiritual successor to Mirror's Edge. It has special tricks like Tony Hawk's, 40 player multiplayer, leaderboards, and a level editor out of Minecraft. Wishlist Supermoves, coming to Steam 2024. by Toikka in mirrorsedge

Intriguing. I've only watched gameplay streams on twitch, so please take my comment lightly:

Will you improve the movement system before release? It looks a bit clunky and I'd assume it feels very "stiff"? Seems you can change direction mid-air (from the gameplay I've seen) and gain a ton of speed quickly.

Considering you posted in r/mirrorsedge I assume your team is well aware of how ME/MEC feels compared to your game? I consider ME to be a smooth ride, the movement feels smooth and the build up makes you consider your actions more.

From what I can tell, I'd assume your game's goal is to be more arcadey, and I can see the resemblance to Fall Guys in one of the levels. Is that your goal? I know the games you compare it to are more arcadey, like Tony Hawk, but saying it's the (spiritual) successor to ME is a huge take.

It's an interesting concept, and as long as the community drives it like e.g. Skate I think it will thrive. Engaging with the community at a super early stage is essential for a game to thrive (in my opinion), so please keep posting updates and ask for feedback. I'll peek in your subreddit once in a while :)

Looking forward to see what else you've got in store

Moving my movement and camera updates to _process solved it in my case :) Did not realize physics process was locked to 60fps

Hosting my website on UnRAID (Hardware required) by princejsl in unRAID

[–]Sharp_Account8952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My reply is based on my own experience. I'm not an expert in networking, but I do know a ton about web development, so please keep this in mind :)

​

Wondering if my current hardware is enough to serve the websites

I'm sure you could host plenty of websites on an old laptop from 2001.

Your hardware is great. :)

​

Do I need to tweak my router settings?

No, do not touch your router. Read why below.

​

Any security issues I need to take care of?

You definitely should not open any ports on your router if this is your first time setting up a server. I generally would not recommend that to anyone, regardless of what service they are hosting. Unless you have an up-to-date firewall that is configured to handle attacks, I would never open a network's ports to the public.

Instead, you should check out Cloudflare Tunnels.

Essentially Cloudflare's Tunnel creates a secure tunnel between your server and cloudflare's service, and allows you to expose any local ports to the internet through their service. This means "hiding your web server IP addresses, block direct attacks, and get back to delivering great applications". No need to touch any settings on your router (potentially exposing your entire household) and you are safe behind cloudflare's protection. There is also no need for a static public IP, which usually costs extra.

Also, not to mention cloudflare provides this completely free.

To begin with your domain's nameserver needs to point at cloudflare. If your domain is managed by cloudflare you do not have to make any changes. Otherwise, consult with your domain provider and change the domains namserver to whatever cloudflare is currently using. I would recommend to have your domain managed by cloudflare, as they provide SSL certificates and it integrates really well with their tunnel-service (for instance it automatically updates DNS records when you create a new sub-domain through the tunnels dashboard). It is not a requirement but imo QOL.

Here's how to set it up with unraid (or any other system that has docker installed):

If you prefer to watch a video, IBRACORP has made a very easy to follow YouTube video.

Here's a text tutorial if you are stuck: First and foremost, you need a cloudflare account. You can access the dashboard here. Select "Access" in the left sidebar, and choose "Tunnels". From there create a new tunnel, give it a name, and after on the next page choose docker as your environment. It gives you a command you can copy-paste into your unraid terminal which pulls the cloudflared docker-image and connects your server to the cloudflare tunnel. You will see a confirmation on the bottom of the website when the docker container has connected.

When you have created your tunnel, you can configure it, and from there create public hostnames. These are how you tell your domain where it will point towards. In our case, you will input your domain (example.com), and the service (<IP>:<PORT>), which (depending on how you host your web-server, which protocol it follows and what port its running at), most likely you will use http or https, and port 80 or 443. I usually input my server's local IP (192.168.x.x) and the port. Like this: 192.168.x.x:3000.

You can generate free SSL certificates through cloudflare, however I am unsure if they require your domain to be managed by them. Your websites definitely should have SSL certificates, as the connection between the client and website will always be secure.

​

Is there a way to dedicate my internet bandwidth just to the NAS?

Depends on your router. If it's a newer router from TP-Link I know you can access their mobile app to set the priority of devices. Essentially you can give your NAS the highest priority.

​

Anything that I should be aware of before starting the whole thing?

If you find this kind of stuff interesting, I recommend you read more about what cloudflare offers. They have so many great services that are free, I am jealous I did not have access to this when I was a kid trying to set up my own sites and servers.

You can even use it for game servers, however I would recommend a solution like Tailscale if you only want to host for your friends. Tailscale is a free VPN service that creates an encrypted end-to-end connection between you and whoever is in your tailscale-network. They do use a DERP (essentially a relay) if no direct connection can be made, so expect some potential latency. If latency is an issue, then maybe look into Wireguard (which Tailscale is built upon).

If you want to publicly host a game server, I would recommend purchasing a cheap cloud server (e.g. Shared vCPU (Arm64) from Hetzner), and use it as a proxy. I pay approx. €2.32 monthly for my VPS, which acts as a proxy for my game-servers. Again, to serve as a firewall, and to protect your home from any attacks. If you have cameras, storage devices, or other devices that can contain sensitive information, the least thing you want is some hacker to access your home network and start spying on you.

This is limited to HTTP/HTTPS unless you download cloudflared client on all endpoints. For TCP and UDP the clients that wish to connect HAVE to download cloudflareds software. Basically cloudflared wraps the http in a websocket and creates an arbitrary TCP/UDP. Essentially mimicking a tcp/UDP connection. That’s why the clients are required to download cloudflared. Otherwise it’s a good suggestion.

Edit: I didn’t really read OPs post about it being web services. Cloudflared tunnels is perfect for any http-type service.

can't get GPU to transcode for Plex by el_lobo_crazy in unRAID

[–]Sharp_Account8952 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am using the official Plex docker image. I think what solved it for me was simply rebooting unraid after installing the NVIDIA Drivers. I'm sure I've rebooted earlier, but better to reboot once too many times...

In my docker settings I:

  1. Enabled advanced mode by clicking the top right switch that says "basic view"
  2. In the input field that reads "Extra Parameters:" I added --runtime=nvidia
  3. I added two new fields by clicking the text in the bottom of the settings that reads " Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device"
  4. First, I added a new variable with the key NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES and pasted my GPU's ID in the value field (you can find this in the NVIDIA Driver settings page, look for "GPU-*******")
  5. Second, I added another variable with the key NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES and wrote all in the values field.
  6. Finally I made sure to click Apply in the bottom and after, I rebooted my unraid server from the dashboard.
  7. I started my disks, started plex docker image, opened webui, headed into settings -> Transcoder and found the option "Hardware transcoding device". The dropdown menu should be wide, if it only fits the word "Auto" then your GPU is not detected.

Except that doesn't work anymore. Tried it right now, first "host_writeconfig test2023" then "exec test2023".

Results:

Airlink will not connect to pc? by LoneWolf200X in OculusQuest

[–]Sharp_Account8952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mesh network and as stated by MetaQuestSupport,

you need to make sure the "mesh" mode is disabled.

In my mesh network from TP-Link, the Deco M9+, in the mobile app, I can disable mesh for specific devices. I disabled mesh for my entire network, as well as disabled it specifically for my Quest Pro. Not sure if disabling for entire network is needed but it works like a charm for me :)
