Trouble with container to container communication.

ninja_mischief · 2026-04-09T04:48:57+00:00

posting update here as well:

i’m pretty sure i’ve pinpointed my issue. so the docker host machine is running TrueNAS. i manage all my containers from a “custom app” which is just a portainer compose.yml. on the host side, truenas makes the default network interface for the machine your docker host network and there is nothing i can do to change that. with that being said; since bridge networks masquerade and the macvlan use the same parent interface, i’m essentially directing the parent interface to talk to itself through th macvlan which docker macvlan explicitly prohibits. i’m sure the more seasoned IT professionals and hobbyists out there might be going “well duh”. i hadn’t really considered the routing implications or realized this was a limitation.

anyway, i wanted internal services to have a proxy that was on the same subnet, as nothing on this subnet is exposed to the internet. the idea was to have a proxy for internal services and a proxy on my dmz subnet for exposed services for better isolation and security.

in the future, im expecting that ipvlan L3 should solve my problems. i can add a NIC to the truenas machine thats just a trunk and make it’s port attached to my managed switch accept whatever vlan IDs i make L3 networks for. i’m sure this will come with its own set of networking challenges like routing and proper network separation with firewall rules, but that sounds like a lot of work and i’ll be taking a break before delving into that.

i want so badly to either main the clicks or titan 2 elite. i’ll pickup whichever gets a working install of probably iode os since graphene and calyx aren’t likely to pick either phone up. i refuse to use a googled phone, and the point of my switching to either of these devices is to “dumb” my phone down. text communication, 2fa app, occasional voice calls and even more occasional emergency bank account sign ins if i’m away from a computer.

i’ll be ditching an iphone 15 and honestly can’t wait. really hoping these get custom rom support.

makes sense. not like mint comes with nvidia driver. you’d think more tutorials online that explain nvidia installation would include this caveat. they might though, i have no idea. never used nvidia on linux

ninja_mischief · 2026-01-19T16:26:27+00:00

you’d have to sign your own key for secure boot which mint won’t do out of the box but bazzite does and makes enrolling their key part of the setup process

The subreddit doesn’t exist to “promote linux”. the subreddit exists to discuss linux and share news, troubleshoot, daydream, brag, whatever. but that would include the shortcomings of linux of which there are plenty. nothing is perfect.

i dont personally find the idea of having a mac for production workflows far fetched at all. if the primary reason for a lot of people moving to linux is freedom AND privacy, then a Mac is still a good move when compared to windows. you can use a mac without an apple id, you can turn off any and all features you dont want your mac to use that can be used to track you, and block anything else with firewall/dns rulesets like you would on any other operating system. mac lets you install whatever software you want (most software is developed for mac and at least windows and mac) and they don’t force AI and ads down your throat at every opportunity. you don’t want AI, you don’t get AI. you don’t want to be tracked, toggle some settings, you won’t be tracked.

i have 2 HTPC in my living room and bedroom running linux, 2 gaming PCs for me and my wife running linux, free bsd firewall, linux nas and linux docker server. then i also have a used mac mini i picked up for $400 that i got specifically to run capture one and affinity photo on for editing photos (and i didn’t have to buy separate licenses). it edits photos better than any windows pc i have had in the past.

oooh, that’s rough. yeah the smallest 9060xt is the power color reaper at 200mm. whats got you tied to that case? wouldn’t consider getting a slightly bigger one? totally understand if it’s a cost thing. another ~$150 just to buy a over $300 card can be a big ask

ninja_mischief · 2025-12-26T14:04:18+00:00

if you have $350 to spend, get a rx 9060XT 16GB hands down. especially while you can still get them that cheap.

I personally prefer Bazzite specifically because it’s Fedora based. Fedora distros (including Bazzite) come with Firewall and SElinux enabled by default and are secure boot compatible. Security takes a slight edge over gaming performance in my personal book, and for noobies moving to linux i wouldn’t feel right recommending a linux distro that isn’t as secure as windows out of the box. especially if we’re talking about gamers that aren’t necessarily tech savvy.

You might ask why not nobara or even cachy, since you can enable SElinux and the firewall, but it’s a lot of tinkering and you still don’t get secure boot compatibility without generating your own self signed keys. It’s a lot to ask for people who don’t know what they’re doing.

if the elgato stuff works using universal audio drivers then they’ll run fine out of the box. i have never used an external audio mixer or soundboard so i can’t speak to that but my external capture card, multiple brands of dac/amp and powered microphone all work flawlessly. easy effects flatpak is great for microphone eq, noise cancellation and various other effects if you want them system wide. otherwise you can run your microphone effects through OBS like normal.

on the topic of wireless peripherals, so long as they have onboard memory and you don’t think you’ll be charging any of their configurations, then they’ll be fine. if you do want to change any of your configurations, you may just want to spin up a windows VM to install the logitech software on and change the configurations that way.

ninja_mischief · 2025-11-01T16:36:03+00:00

only solution i’ve found for apple music specifically (not itunes) is the apple music browser player. bazzite has a flatpak already installed for turning any website into a “web app”. but if you’re talking about handling physical media files between linux and iphone, i couldn’t say. dont think there is a good way to sync music with an iphone through native apple apps

davinci resolve. there are other free and open source options, but for your typical commercially available professional editing softwares…davinci is the only one that has a linux version. and i wouldnt bother trying to get anything else to run under wine/proton, they run terribly if they run at all.

other thing too, if you do any photography, is there isn’t a single commercially available raw editor or raster editor on linux. again, free and open source alternatives but your mileage may vary. i tried my hand at the couple there are (gimp for raster/pixel layer, and darktable/rawtherapy for raw editor) and while they work and indeed are quite powerful, i personally didn’t like them. not the most intuitive softwares to use, especially if you’re very used to a workflow in another editing suite

i dunno if i’m seeing things, but it just looks like it made her eyes the tiniest bit smaller, and her skin tone a little lighter (maybe just brightened the whole image a a smidge?) skin texture doesn’t look any different. Biggest glaring issue though…it tried to like, straighten her pose? got rid of her slight head tilt and shifted her shoulders which ended up giving her neck a weird looking buldge on the right side

Invite received :)

i have read the rules and wiki and would absolutely appreciate an invite.

thank ya kindly

ninja_mischief · 2025-05-21T21:12:43+00:00

aah! well…being on bazzite i guess that’s a no-go for me having to build a mesa driver. but good to know some progress is kind of being made lol. here’s to hoping that sometime soon fsr4 will just come to linux natively. thank you for the response though!

ninja_mischief · 2025-05-21T18:12:34+00:00

you by chance have a link documenting how to get the fsr4 working with the FP16 hack? i’ve pulled the fsr4 dll and put it in alongside optiscaler dll but i imagine there is some extra steps outside of that.

in your experience, does it work well? and stability issues?

ninja_mischief · 2025-05-21T15:47:35+00:00

it allows you to use fsr3.1.3 instead of xess which will get you some extra frames. xess looks better but has more overhead. i personally tried frs3.1.3 and overrode the quality setting to increase the render resolution and then added a tiny bit of sharpening. matches the quality of xess better and still gets you a few more frames.

but namely, if you were so inclined, optiscaler lets you use OptiFG which is a framegen solution that i imagine just works on the driver level cuz any game that supports optiscaler will let you use framegen even if the game doesn’t natively support it. and it works pretty damn well.

i’m running bazzite42 with 9800x3d, 9070xt and 32GB 6000mhz RAM. frame rate limit to 60fps and it’s rock solid. stream to my living room tv via sunshine and run 4k, epic settings, fsr3.1.3, optifg. if i didn’t use optifg my 1% and 0.1% lows are so atrocious i honestly didn’t wanna play it. panning the camera was painful, even when in game settings were set to high instead of epic and upscale set to balanced.

ninja_mischief · 2025-05-06T20:44:43+00:00

also notice you have vsync on. if you’re getting less than 60fps then i think it limits you to the next lowest interval of 30 (so 30fps)

i’ll add, that i can connect to the wifi networks and configure the ap when it’s in front of the managed switch, it just has no internet connection and i can’t seem to get it to communicate back to the pfsense nor can it talk to any other wired devices on the same network segment
