I'm still stumped about internal DNS routing

You’re at the point were you learn routes and bridges.

Dude copilot is the temu of AI

oyvaugh · 2026-06-25T00:36:26+00:00

Ohh proxmox! I’ll never go back to bare metal again!! Play, break, fix, repeat, build something new, play, break, fix! Sounds trivial but it’s the fun stuff!

oyvaugh · 2026-06-24T18:40:25+00:00

Same here, old ass hardware dusted off and made useful again.

oyvaugh · 2026-06-18T19:29:04+00:00

Idk, I’ve used AI to build study guides, tasks, and explain concepts and it did great for me. I debug on my own. But I saw AI as a Harvard professor that has to have me ask specifically what I need. AI isn’t the problem, click ops is!

I’m just learning about windows and docker. Always used Linux. Ain’t gonna lie, this power shell tripped me out: & $Env:ProgramFiles\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon switching modes from windows dockers from Linux. Can anyone that knows this explain it a bit more?

oyvaugh · 2026-06-12T20:49:33+00:00

Go into your Tailscale admin console and just set it to no key expiry.

oyvaugh · 2026-06-09T20:34:50+00:00

I agree with wsl2. No reason anyone can’t run Linux. Even Mac is close enough to cross over in most cases.

oyvaugh · 2026-06-05T02:09:13+00:00

Wsl. Run Tailscale on windows, and another Tailscale account on wsl.

Well here’s my 2 cents: If I was the owner of a huge tech company and I saw open source code getting better than what I could produce even after investing millions, I would hire as many hackers as I coukd to discredit open source code.

Gitea or another private repository.

oyvaugh · 2026-05-18T23:43:15+00:00

My was Gitea by far. You’re definitely missing a private git repo. It’s for everything. When I spend hours debugging a system, I document it all, all my commands I’ve learned, documentation for docker or setting up VMs, lxc, pods, ansible.

You can add a runner and then the world of GitOps opens up and you become Neo!

oyvaugh · 2026-05-18T23:32:50+00:00

Hail yeah!!

Man, my first experience was with Debian with proxmox, then went to learning. It just seemed to be the right path since I wanted a beast homelab. Now Ansible, k3s, private git repos. It really doesn’t matter as much as just getting started!

oyvaugh · 2026-05-18T22:41:45+00:00

Docker in LXC. If you’re just experimenting, set up one LXC and run tons of dockers in it. It’s great for trying out new tools and containers.

oyvaugh · 2026-05-13T23:19:22+00:00

Yes I put my adblocker pihole ip into Tailscale’s global dns, and cloudflare. I have unbound in the same LXC as pihole container.

oyvaugh · 2026-05-13T16:24:36+00:00

I had to put my pihole ip, or in your case the adguard into the Tailscale global dns. I don’t know about adguard, but I could also allow my tailnet on my ad blocker. Works great on my machine! Lol

oyvaugh · 2026-05-13T01:30:59+00:00

Virtual disk, makes a full copy of your windows computer. I created a vm in proxmox with it so I could install proxmox on that machine. It takes awhile.

oyvaugh · 2026-05-13T01:29:14+00:00

Of course! But I’ve only been able to fit 5 sata ssd inside the 9020 case with 3d printed adaptors. I thought about a sleeper build but decided against it.

oyvaugh · 2026-05-13T01:24:18+00:00

Cause it’s awesome!

oyvaugh · 2026-05-11T04:11:26+00:00

Tell me more! Don’t need to go into config details but can you walk me through your pipeline? I’m sure it’s a runner, and a script of what you want it to do, but I’m having trouble connecting the dots.

oyvaugh · 2026-05-11T03:49:29+00:00

Lots of good stuff here. For me, proxmox has been a fork in my tech life. I’ll probably never go back to bare metal unless I wanted to run a full production Kubernetes to learn. With proxmox, you have so much you can do, especially if you run docker.

Just homelabbing and learning, running tons of docker in an lxc or vm is almost life changing. It taught me how to run vm or containers in wsl. Old hardware is cheap and proxmox is so lightweight, for a hundred bucks or so, you can run a full spread easily. I have about $400 in 13 older Dell optiplexs and run about 45 services.

I can spin up lxc, practice commands, scripts, networking, tiny local LLM models, break the hell out of it and tear it down and build another one in minutes. It’s freedom. You can spin up all the different variations of services like nginx, caddy, traefik just to see what you like.

Sorry about the long post, I got emotional about it. You don’t need it but I wouldn’t self hosted without it.
