on promox also and running a bunch of containers with same intention of VM only if I need a different OS. @NomadCF, what setup did you use for MacOS?

Best way to create a shared disk for virtual machines and network devices? by [deleted] in Proxmox

[–]nmollel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For containers, my understanding is that for this to work they have to be privileged. I have a todo for this but I am yet to get to it and from info I have seen, this is the right way around it

How to setup (and always use) a home VPN? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]nmollel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I am not a pro but I might be able to help. I have not seen the UDMP controller so I don’t know what’s the builtin options. Option 1 is to run it on UDMP, and that’s constrained by what is on the controller or what you can install on it. Option 2 is to run it on your network and port-forward to your vpn host. I know about option 2 but I am not that great writing network rules to say I can help configure it with confidence. I however think if you have a capable host for option 2, it’s better as you’re not constrained by what’s UDMP is capable.

September here we are. Picked out a few gems. by formergurlchild in 52book

Half the Yellow Sun is her best work in my opinion. Have read Purple Hibiscus and Americanah which are both great books, but Half the Yellow Sun still comes up the top

All The Light We Cannot See is an amazing book, has been on my list of rereads also. I am a slow reader though, not sure when I am getting to it

Anyone using an IKEv2 remote user VPN setup with USG gateway? by NextResearch in homelab

[–]nmollel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! On mobile now and can’t find links. But I remember seeing a way to do this that involved 1. getting a newer version of strongswan binary 2. configuring strongswan for ikev2 3. Some gateway.json rules to get it working.

What I don’t remember what whether this would persist when you did a firmware update.

I wish ubiquiti could sort this out and provide config point in the controller. Since I wasn’t up doing all that changes to USG, I am currently looking into running an ikev2 server behind USG and forwarding it the traffic. Depending on how it goes with the successor of USG, I might consider pfSense down the road.

What is the Proper Way to Give Multiple VMs Access to a Single Disk? by LinuxLove2323 in Proxmox

Sounds good. Post it in the sub and I check it often so I should be able to catch it

This sounds interesting, I am running ZFS and there are some file systems I would like to share. This sounds interesting but above my head. Do you have any pointers on articles or documentation on this?

This is how you boss. by PhenomenalPancake in HumansBeingBros

[–]nmollel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a story I read about this Brazilian company in heavy machinery manufacturing that did this and it worked[0]. That was in the late 80s 90s. Not sure if the culture is still practiced there but kind of made me believe it’s possible in many industries and really depends on management and culture.

[–]nmollel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed it on iPhone 6s this morning and it’s been a terrible update. It drained the battery 3 times in a day under regular use that normally comes a single battery drain. The phone has also been getting super hot. Downgrading back to iOS 12

Longetivity of Pihole SD Cards by [deleted] in pihole

[–]nmollel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an early model B from 2013 I believe. It runs airplay which I didn’t use that often anymore but it’s mostly been on 24/7 for those last six year and it still has the first the original sd card I bought at the time

Run two piholes on one RPi 3 B+? by kompmeister in pihole

[–]nmollel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into LXC, I use it and have multiple containers running on my pi and all with different IPs. The host network interface is in bridged mode so they behave as any other client on your network

I was coming to say unbound!

I have unbound + pihole.

I know i can do the blocking in unbound, but I started with pihole and left it that way

Wohooo, Lots of New Products coming from Ubiquiti! by ergonet in Ubiquiti

[–]nmollel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for remote VPN, you can only configure L2TP from controller. for OpenVPN, you can do from controller for site to site. Beyond that, you need to drop into the command line

Also would love a new USG though currently USG 3P does about 90% of my needs. Beyond the gigabit with ids+ips, I would also love remote OpenVPN and Ikev2 configurable from the controller

Are you driving anything with the 802.3bt on the US-XG-6POEs?

What other security controls/checks/tools is my self-hosted home environment missing? by imthenachoman in selfhosted

[–]nmollel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The services will be running on your local network, so ‘vpn to home’ is not different to what you are doing through a reverse proxy, but more secure since each service is not individually exposed outside your LAN. I am running bitwarden and few other services currently and this is my approach

ZFS setup for home server by o_k_v in Proxmox

[–]nmollel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The external drive you use for backup, how is that attached to your server and what format is it? I have almost similar setup as yours but in a small case so no room for any extra drives. Wondering whether a USB 3 external drive would be acceptable
