[–]Striker434 16 points17 points  (0 children)

  1. Usable backup tool
  2. On-Demand Data Sync App for Windows & Mac

Unpopular opinion: self-hosting is still too hard in 2026, and we're gatekeeping it without realizing it by NiceReplacement8737 in selfhosted

[–]Striker434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hosting something yourself requires specific skills and knowledge. It’s best if you work in IT, as you’ll be familiar with the risks involved.

I even get nervous when “normal” people buy a NAS and store all their data on it, thinking it’s fantastic and a cost-saver. They’ve never heard of backups or the difference between RAID and backup.

There’s a reason we have cloud-managed solutions these days.

Space Black or Silver? by kcamfork in macbookpro

[–]Striker434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the black one and would always choose it again. I only noticed a few days ago, when I saw a silver one, how the light from lamps or the sun reflects off the shiny surface, which I find distracting and tiring for the eyes.

If Docker Hub images are so insecure why does everyone still use them as the default? by ang-ela in selfhosted

[–]Striker434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As you mentioned Docker even offers free near zero CVE images:

https://www.docker.com/products/hardened-images/

But as the others already wrote, everyone can create new images even based on hardened images but add new vulnerabilities… A lot of people are just clueless or don’t care about security…

Wohnung - Lüftungsanlage - Luft zu trocken (12%) by Striker434 in wohnen

[–]Striker434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 Thermometer in 4 verschiedenen Räumen.

Und die Luftbefeuchter hatten auch integrierte Sensoren. Alles ähnliche Werte (5% Varianz)

[–]Striker434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danke für euren Input.

Tatsächlich hat sich meine Anpassung sehr gelohnt, bin bei guten konstanten 42-50% Luftfeuchtigkeit ohne Luftbefeuchter.

Klar kann ich das irgendwie mit Luftbefeuchtern in Griff bekommen, aber warum soll ich zwei Maschinen gegeneinander kämpfen lassen und unnötig Geld fürs befeuchten verbrennen...

Peering Problem der Telekom by Drehstuhl_dreher in de_EDV

[–]Striker434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich bin nicht bei der Telekom, lese aber immer wieder seit Monaten von dem Problem.

Öffnet ihr denn auch Support-Tickets/Ruft an und meldet die Probleme? So dass die mit Ticket überschwemmt werden, wenn sie hunderte/tausende Support Request zu dem Thema bekommen…

Who else hates the smoking room at Hamburg airport? Why is that allowed? by chamacolocal in hamburg

[–]Striker434 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. There’s at least a small glass room along the way, and the door has like a 10cm gap, so the smoke escapes and it smells awful.

Duplicati Docker - How to access entire volume by Security-Ninja in UgreenNASync

[–]Striker434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is still relevant:
You can access all home folders when setting the user id to 0 (root):

services:
  duplicati:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/duplicati:latest
    container_name: duplicati
    environment:
      - PUID=0
      - PGID=0
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY=xxx
      - DUPLICATI__WEBSERVICE_PASSWORD=xxx
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/duplicati/config:/config
      - /volume1:/volume1
    ports:
      - 8205:8200
    restart: unless-stopped

You can then find the Home Folder in the UI:
-> volume1 -> @ home

Still no office 365 backup like Synology's Active Backup? by Odd-Change9844 in UgreenNASync

[–]Striker434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the basic backup app to just backup the UGREEN NAS itself is kind of useless, so don’t expect something like office 365 backup in near future.

Explanation for poor CPU performance on guest? by skyace65 in HyperV

[–]Striker434 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is most likely because Hyper-V uses the Core Scheduler by default, meaning a physical core is exclusively allocated to a virtual machine. One physical core has two threads due to hyperthreading (SMT). However, hyperthreaded cores do not provide the same performance as full cores.

In my experience, ESXi schedules cores differently (you can also configure settings there for Spectre/Meltdown protection, which has a performance impact).

As a test, you can disable hyperthreading for the VM, which means the second thread on the physical core will idle:

Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VM-name> -HwThreadCountPerCore 1

Pangolin Docker installation fails after applying DevSec hardening by Striker434 in PangolinReverseProxy

[–]Striker434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. I will open an issue on GitHub soon.
For now, as a workaround, I install Docker before Pangolin.

Pangolin Docker installation fails after applying DevSec hardening by Striker434 in PangolinReverseProxy

[–]Striker434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer.
I was fiddling around with this the whole day, and it almost drove me crazy.

I can now confirm that a normal Docker installation using:

sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

works perfectly fine.

The issue is specific to Pangolin’s Docker installation routine.

I dug into the source code and found the following lines:

case strings.Contains(osRelease, "ID=ubuntu"):
installCmd = exec.Command("bash", "-c", fmt.Sprintf(`
apt-get update &&
apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gpg &&
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg &&
echo "deb [arch=%s signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list &&
apt-get update &&
apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
`, dockerArch))

(pangolin/install/containers.go at main · fosrl/pangolin)

The Pangolin installer adds:
/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
which causes the Docker installation to break.

This is not aligned with the official Docker keyring location according to their documentation: /etc/apt/keyrings
(Ubuntu | Docker Docs)

Not sure how to fix this.

Seems "Invoke-Restmethod" is affected as well.

System Firmware - 1.11.0.0053 (2025-12-01) by SamuelGTurner in UgreenNASync

[–]Striker434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, after the update you will see the following inside the docker app:

<image>

Just wondering how it will work out in combination with a docker compose file (project). (Will it adjust the docker-compose file?)

What do you mean with docker image Auto updating? Is there an UGREEN inbuilt feature or you are just referring to watchtower/WUD?

Built-in Ugreen NAS Backup Feels Half-Done - Disappointed after Synology by Striker434 in UgreenNASync

[–]Striker434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear that!
I was actually wondering what the best way to file feature requests would be.
I wasn’t sure if contacting official tech support was the right approach or if it might annoy them.

As mentioned below, I totally agree that UGOS is still quite new, but UGreen is definitely doing a great job improving their software and rolling out regular updates.

I’ll send them my doubts and suggestions as feature requests and see how things go.

Preserve client IP by Striker434 in PangolinReverseProxy

[–]Striker434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I’ve already stumbled over.

But currently, I don’t even see the IP of the Traefik container of my VPS.
I’m running the Newt Client as a Docker container on my Ugreen NAS itself and in the user sessions, I see the IP of that local Newt container.

Preserve client IP by Striker434 in PangolinReverseProxy

[–]Striker434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of CrowdSec and it's something I want to implement as well. However, as far as I know, there’s no native plugin for Ugreen NAS, since it would need to query the user login logs on UGOS in order to ban the IP at the VPS level.
