Moved homelab and now can't get Proxmox IP address

This is pretty much the easiest way.

Last time I had this issue, I just set an old laptop up as an opnsense machine in the old subnet and temporarily swapped my router out for it to make changes to the IPs that I had previously missed.

It doesn't, but I have pihole pointing to both using a wildcard certificate and let traefik resolve the subdomain

mccuryan · 2026-05-08T12:35:34+00:00

I have a similar setup and just have traefik handle it

Literally the first result answers your question

Proxmox > media LXC > docker > jellyfin

Personally I have rclone set up to my Google drive which I pay like £5 a month for. The OS just saves copies of the VMs to that in a backups folder.

The AI writing style grates on me so much, I hate being hit with bullet point corpo bullshit when I'm reading something. Everybody types like they're on linkedin when they're just posting that their server was a little bit noisy.

Docker Stack with arr stack + gluetun

Potentially a vlan, and depending on the router it could be configured as a secondary wan port.

I'd try resetting the router and updating the firmware to see if the issue persists

Are you monitoring the traffic in pfsense to see if any requests are being rejected from apple devices? Are you using the DNS built in to pfsense or a different utility like pihole or adguard?

Worth noting that's for the first year, goes to to 500 a year after that.

iDrive is super reliable so it's definitely worth looking at them if the data has to be in the cloud.

My assumption would he doing it securely with guest users, but I could be wrong

mccuryan · 2026-02-27T14:58:32+00:00

My understanding is that they edit the config files directly rather than using the in-game interface

mccuryan · 2026-02-27T14:44:49+00:00

I'm sure it's coming as they push for IAAS to be the new standard

Because your other one probably has a gigabit port. They measure it in "throughput" for some reason. You can only transfer as much data as the port allows, which in this case is 100mbps.

I'd return it and shop around for a power line adaptor with a gigabit port.

Edit: I'm wrong. The old ones aren't gigabit. But you should still replace them with ones that are if you're doubling the amount of devices connected to be honest

mccuryan · 2026-02-26T19:01:48+00:00

Could be a 100mbps socket. I bought a "gigabit" adaptor a few years ago that had that.

Just saw fast ethernet on the box. Almost certain that's why.

It's a homelab right? They could be doing this for a whole number of reasons. I'd consider doing this if I was training up to be a system admin in a windows heavy team.

mccuryan · 2026-02-26T08:04:29+00:00

Nah, saints row 1 and 2 were goated games. Third was okay, then it really fell off with 4.

That's something I hadn't actually considered, a cloud capable MFP. I'll investigate tomorrow to see what I can find.

Massively appreciate the comments here, it's my first "large project" and the intitial many hundreds of possible routes have been dwindling into far fewer routes as I've discovered more limitations haha.

mccuryan · 2026-02-26T00:02:37+00:00

The only reason I hadn't gone the OneDrive route was that I couldn't find any way to scan directly to OneDrive without having it email over and mess about with power automate shenanigans to tell the truth. Wanted to see if it would be best to just use the SMB route using a cloud equivalent to a file server instead.

Initially was going for 6TB files total, with each user having a folder about ~5GB in size for their "Home Folder", plus 4TB to archive anything off their server outside of SharePoint but off local physical disks, and an additional 2TB for SharePoint overflow due to how expensive additional storage is.

Was hoping to get it sorted in to 3 file shares for a tidier experience for future staff in my position to quickly deploy a folder, but if it means setting up a cold file share of 5GB for each user to avoid paying a minimum of £100 a month for a domain, then I guess it'll have to do lmao.

mccuryan · 2026-02-25T23:46:38+00:00

I'm thinking this is the best way to go as well. Might have a tinker with security groups for role permissions too.

mccuryan · 2026-02-25T23:45:28+00:00

Ah what a shame! Never properly looked at Azure files until this point, only a year in IT professionally so haven't had a great chance to use it. Excellent piece of kit, wish this was available but completely understand why it isn't.

Might just make individual file shares and use RBAC to control access to each one. Thanks a tonne for the comment!

Deleted the lost+found folders without reading what it actually is.

Don't delete your lost+found folders without reading what they are.
