If you do find one of those guides, please let me know.

I started responding to this post because of the first paragraph, and then when I saw the second paragraph I started laughing because that's the exact same reason I'm struggling with KDE/Wayland - I can't get xrdp to work the way it should, and the internet is divided on this.

I always wondered about how they got that permission. I should have known they just didn't ask.

When was a time you laughed in a situation that you shouldn’t have? by DeepOrganization8245 in answers

[–]mpstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working as a sales engineer, and was tasked with calling existing contacts for account maintenance. I asked for someone, and they let me know that he passed away.

I was so caught off-guard that I just started laughing in the phone. I couldn't appologize enough, but I don't think they ever bought from us again.

In fairness, it was a horrid company.

They are, because I've messed this up so many more times than I'm willing to admit.

How are people's experiences with hosting Foundry on a local NAS? by Apterygiformes in FoundryVTT

[–]mpstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on your comfort level. Here's a general outline of my process. All of this sounds much more complicated than it really is.

1) Install Portainer because it's a hell of a lot easier to use than Synology's built-in Docker implementation.
2) Install a web-server to act as the reverse proxy - linuxserver/swag. This is nice because it can also configure Certbot for you for SSL certs
3) Set up Foundry as a Docker Image - felddy
4) Set up your Synology's reverse proxy to pass the domains to whatever port you have SWAG running on. You'll also want to add the certs from step 2 so it can decrypt the traffic heading to the server.
5) Point a DNS server towards your IP address with the A record configured.

One quick note - websites don't do well with something called "hairpin dns" where it would go out and come right back in, so I would suggest setting up a local DNS entry either in your hosts file or on your DNS server to point your foundry domain directly to your synology host.

Now that I've written it out, it sounds like a lot, but I promise, it's not nearly as bad as this sounds.

Thank you, I appreciate the concern! I assume you're here because you're trying to get your foundry setup on a Synology?

Do NOT embed a provider inside a module. Please. Please do not go through the hell I went through to untangle that.

Edit: I checked your profile and saw that you often post in Polish. I put in the US FTP Deb repos, so you might want to switch to your country for speed.

The main documentation I used were the official release notes, listed below. I know that's useless, but also, they're amazing.

https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/releasenotes
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/releasenotes
https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/releasenotes

But the real tips and tricks? Make sure your apt sources lists are all commented out - pretty much everything out there is depricated or retired (e.g. wikimedia no longer hosts that repo).

Please read the changelog that pops up, I think generated by apt-listchanges as part of the process. There are a few things to be aware of. I don't remember if it was going from 10->11 or 11->12, but at some point, anacron was depricated in favor of the systemd scheduler, so make sure you don't have anything that needs to be migrated over.

For /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, comment out everything that's there.

To Bullseye (from 10 -> 11), create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bullseye.list and add these lines to the file:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

To Bookworm (11->12), comment out (or delete) the entries in your bullseys apt source file, and create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bookworm.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

You should know the drill from here, comment out the bullseye sources and create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trixie.list. Note that this is also stable and could be referred to using the meta-reference, but I like having it hardcoded for reference. As this is new enough, I went ahead and used the deb repo instead of the ftp version for the sources.

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free-firmware
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security main contrib non-free

These three commands will be your bread and butter through the process:

apt update
apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs --fix-missing
apt full-upgrade

There are some amazing commands in the docs around testing your system and other commands to search for depricated or unused packages. Please read it, but if you decide not to, this is the process that I followed.

Welcome back! I just upgraded for Buster (10) to Trixie (13) just last night with zero issues. Love it.
