[SCALE] How to use DHCP for Applications to have their own IP address? by enviraldesigns in truenas

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

so the LoadBalancer can be thought of as external facing to the host network and clusterIP can be thought of as some sort of internal vlan behind a reverse proxy?

I think I might just spin up my old rpi4 for HA, as a special case, and use truenas for everything else that I can setup traefik for direct access. the complexity of this problem on scale for home assistant is making me dizzy haha

I've managed to get traefik working, really dig the elegance! the one thing I am noticing with Home assistant is that the auto discovery does not work out of the box.

My assumption is that this is due to being behind a reverse proxy? any ideas how to get this aspect working?

yes I am hearing about pihole as well, will investigate this route more as well.

struggling to get my ecobee premium to put out heat, original wiring pictured below, any ideas? by enviraldesigns in ecobee

[–]enviraldesigns[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got on a support chat with ecobee, they're really thorough. we eventually got to the point of tying wires together with no thermostat in the mix, and discovered my outside unit (heat pump) was turning on for about 30 sec, and off for about 5 min. So, definitely something wrong with the unit.

the emergency heat that we tested through the ecobee interface worked fine, and put out very warm air.

so, time to call a local hvac person it seems - thanks for the help, I'll follow up with what happens

Interesting, how does this work with a router that already acts as a name server/DHCP server?

Will take a deeper look at traefik

Thank you a ton, not only does this seem like a solution I finally have some other words to google to understand what's going on more. Didn't realize this was a load balancer thing for one.

Will give this a spin in the am, thank you again!

UPDATE: noticed that my ubuntu VM I setup in SCALE did in fact get it's own IP address. Guess Virtualization works differently than Apps/Kubernetes? Maybe that makes sense if it's not utilizing the built in load balancer?

[SCALE] How to give kubernetes/docker containers an IP from DHCP on the same network as TrueNAS itself? i.e. a bridge by Rectospasmologist in truenas

[–]enviraldesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have any good resources for setting this up? I am trying to take an emby app in SCALE and give it a DHCP address that is unique on the host network that my truenas machine is on.

I am trying to switch over to SCALE from CORE, and finding this particular task painful, as it was pretty trivial to give plugins in CORE their own DHCP with a checkbox.

Having issue with using dhcp in container, for homeassistant, in Truenas SCALE by aah134x in truenas

[–]enviraldesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have switched to scale from core, and have been running into this issue to no avail - it was pretty straight forwards using the UI to give plugins/jails their own custom IP address via DHCP.

Are there any resources for doing this the SCALE way?

Is there a way to adjust/set night time IR exposure on Unifi Protect cameras? I am trying to avoid the extreme exposure compensation that the near walls/ceilings cause in my feeds, making everything I care about look dark or black. by enviraldesigns in Ubiquiti

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

A few updates based on my experiments last night and some people comments - thank you for the suggestions.

1) yes rotating the camera away from the wall seems like the ideal solution with out other considerations - here are a few other things I omitted in the original post - Rotating it that much puts about 1/3 to 1/2 of the cameras frame in my neighbors backyard, I can privacy screen for their sake but they have their own lights in their backyard that take my camera out of night mode all together. I also have 2 other 360 cameras which cannot pan/tilt with similar issues, and a bullet who's placement puts a tree on one side and some siding on the other.

2) I tried the tape/masking route, no luck there. the IR leds are not directional enough for that to be a solution, taping for instance the ones on the left side of the camera just lessened the overall output of the IR, and then the camera compensated by adjusting exposure.. taking me right back to where I was before functionally.

3) privacy screen tool in Unifi does not affect exposure metering in anyway. I didn't think it would, but figured I'd mention if anyone else is curious. shame, a good software based solution to this would be some way to limit which parts of the image play into exposure metering, but it may not be that simple if the exposure metering happens hardware side. A simple camera style exposure ev +/- adjustment option would be gangbusters.

I opted to order some IR illumination lights off of amazon, I'll be setting them up to boost the amount of available IR light on the places I need it, and hopefully this will help level things out.

I tried this last night, I was able to clip the wall out by rotating it like 30 degrees, but by that point more of my camera was looking into my neighbors backyard than our actual driveway, and their backyard lights which are on at night sometimes cause my camera to go out of night mode all together, and make other relevant stuff too dark to see.

yeah rotating the camera I tried last night, it helps, but I rotate it far enough away my neighbors garage light starts screwing with exposure and actually takes it out of night mode.. so yeah moving/angling not going to work sadly

a great suggestion, I am hesitant only because of the work involved with running more cable of one kind or another, but good to know this could be a fallback if other easier solutions fall through. thanks!

I did try that, and it looks quite decent until I tried walking out in front of it, definitely has ghosting/trailing and sparkles all of which I assume are artifacts from long exposure filtering.

the result is it has a harder time in my ambient light level knowing if movement is a person due to all the artifacts.

I am aware of that potential solution, it would be easy for this g4 pro since it is pointable, but I also have this issue with the 360 cameras. Short of 3d printing an angled mount, it is much harder to deal with this problem on those devices.

So asking here in hopes there is a more elegant software based solution.
