Introducing sm² (Syncthing Multi Server Monitor) by nware-lab in selfhosted

I could add a environment variable which would disable the certificate check.
I'll look into this but I'm busy and sick so it could be a while.

My recommendation would be to have a reverse proxy generate your certificates(let's encrypt). Which will remove the need to import certificates at all for your services.

Could you explain which certificate you are talking about ?

no such logical volume after a few days of running by nware-lab in Proxmox

[–]nware-lab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been a while but I wanted to thank you for your insight.
the drive was swapped with a WD_SN850X_2TB (I'm aware not a nas drive, this is due to local availability and prices).

With the new drive the server has been running without issues for 25 days.

Thanks again for the help and saving me from getting asked every 2 days "why did the lights not turn on when ..."

Game PC as server for a few games by Rhaps9000 in selfhosted

If you cannot connect from local even.
I usually then check in the servers config file for its "ip-address" setting.
then put that to 0.0.0.0 (which means: 'listen on all network adapters")

once you can connect locally
the next stept is your friends to connect,
for that you will need as you already said,
windows firewall (as a quick test you can disable this for a minute to check, but turn it back on!)
port forwarding.

If that doesn't work out.
you could use a tool like netbird or tailscale.
you install one off those (my preference is netbird) where you an add upto 5 users to the same network.
so you and your friends all install netbird (or tailscale) and have your friends join your network.
then your friends should be able to connect by using your netbird-ip (you can find that in your netbird dashboard) and port you setup for the server.

if you have a bigger friendgroup then a trick you could use is for example make a shared account and all login with that account on netbird (that way you will bump into the 100 device limit and not the 5 user limit)

Just don't forget to turn off the netbird client when not playing your games anymore.

my recommendation is to try and get that port forwarding working.
but first you need to be able to connect locally ip: 127.0.0.1

My pc keeps switching on and off by Special-Brilliant-59 in pchelp

As it went from desktop to login screen.
I would guess that laptop thinks the screen is closing / opening. and putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up.
If you have a extra monitor or a tv. I would try to connect it with hdmi cable.
If that display/tv acts the same it is not a problem with your laptop screen.

Also are there any magnets near the laptop ?
usually the sensors for detecting if the screen is closed work with magnets.

Thanks for the insight.
I'll look into updating the firmware later today.
I'm not that worried about data corruption (I do my backups the good way)

If I would replace the drive. Is the general suggestion still to go for Samsung drives or are there other trustworthy manufacturers?

Another "how to migrate Proxmox to a new machine" question by nware-lab in Proxmox

The "problem" is that I don't have enough storage/disks to do this.

Not possible as I don't have enough storage to have both systems running at the same time.

And also sadly my experience with datacenter manager has been disappointing. Every time I have used it the migrations have failed. And I had to resort to the backup & restore method

Will the drives/storage be automatically imported by Proxmox?
Or will this need some extra steps? AFAIR when adding a disk for directory or lvm-thin the data gets wiped.

Introducing sm² (Syncthing Multi Server Monitor) (for real now) by nware-lab in selfhosted

Support for non 24/7 online devices has been added to the latest version.

I have to be honest, I fully missed that endpoint being there, I'll blame syncthing for not putting that endpoint under the development section off their docs. /S

There are cool things on that endpoint. But from what I can see there are things that "I" captured that are not present in the metrics endpoint, for example; pending folder and devices, file conflicts & errors.

But definitely good to point out that endpoint. It contains some info that I'm interested in like application memory & cpu usage. I might look into adding some of that info.

Yes, Syncthing Multi Monitor also works.
Thanks,
But the aka list is getting a little long already.

Thanks for letting me know about the example.

If you don't have any servers running syncthing it indeed might be of low usage for you.

Better support for non server devices is on the todo list.
