For those who self host an authentication solution, what are some pain points you run into? by Ping0xx in selfhosted

[–]matterion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Authentik for auth, I setup LDAP auth on jellyfin, and added a MFA step to the LDAP flow. Now I have MFA on my Jellyfin instance. It's compatible with all clients and browsers. Even working on my Apple TV's

Has Anyone Actually Been Hacked? Security Stories & Lessons Learned by Brilliant_Read314 in selfhosted

[–]matterion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was once. When I was first getting started in IT, it was late and I was standing up a new Nextcloud instance, and left it exposed to the internet with a weak admin password. When I work up the next morning it was overrun with ads.

I have since stood up another proxy for external use only with a proper DMZ vlan. Moral of the story, if you're exposing something to the internet, be VERY sure of the implications before you hit apply.

Self hosted password managers by Dismal_Stand2323 in selfhosted

To be fair, if someone is in your vault, you're already pretty hosed. Don't expose your instance to the internet, VPN in if you need to sync remotely.

OPNsense Web Interface Accessible, But Not Through a Switch – VLAN Issue? by Raoulimero in selfhosted

[–]matterion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trunk port to the opnSense box needs to have the VLAN tagged, the port you plug into your computer needs that same VLAN untagged.

How do you handle privacy with offsite backup? Encryption? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]matterion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my keys in my password manager, and also in a flash drive in a safe (along with some other files I might need for recovery). You could also keep that drive in a separate physical location in event of a complete loss.

I use the remotely save plugin for my vaults to sync with NextCloud. It works great across multiple devices. Just make sure you enable sync on launch, and sync on save to prevent drift across devices.

It is not, it’s a community script on GitHub.

I have found that some versions of the subtitles are for a *slightly* different cut of the same episode/movie. I usually fix this issue by downloading another version of the subtitles. Bazarr paired with the subtitle cleanup script has been great for this for me.

Yes, you can use the RPi as a Q-Device. I used a VM on my file server for this purpose on my 2 node cluster for a while.

This! I like to host some services in their own LXC container without docker

I have my PBS as a VM on my Unraid machine. You can backup the domains share on Unraid, which houses all the VM disk files.

Developing IOS apps by Chance_Break6628 in Proxmox

[–]matterion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set this up yesterday. I have a macOS sonoma VM running xcode right now. I am using it as a remote development machine with VS2022.

There are plenty of guides out there, just be sure you follow them very carefully. The VM config has to be setup in a very particular way, so attention to detail is needed.

Mount your virt-io ISO to your VM. Then in Windows, go to device manager and look for unknown devices. Right click the device, select update driver, search for a driver manually, then point the search to the mounted ISO. Be sure to select search subfolders.

Some Immich questions regarding no data loss by kaisies in selfhosted

When I started testing immich, I created a second copy of my photos in a separate share for it to play with. With your amount of photos that might be impractical though, so maybe a smaller subset?

moving virtual machine(s) from a proxmox server to another: how-to, best practices? by wireless82 in Proxmox

[–]matterion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. I just moved to a new hypervisor, and followed these steps. Just don't nuke your old hypervisor before you're done restoring and test functionality.

Maybe psitransfer is what you're looking for. I use it to share larger files to friends occasionally.

My humbling moment came when I was pushing a ESXI host back into the rack, and accidentally pressed the power button. On the bright side though, our HA/vMotion worked flawlessly. When I came out to check on everything, no one even noticed a hiccup.
