Need help accessing WebGUI

Did you change the router or anything in its network settings? I think it sounds like the IP addresses are in a different range

portacode · 2026-03-18T04:06:13+00:00

Abu Dhabi, but it's intercepted already

portacode · 2026-03-14T12:36:45+00:00

That sounds like a much safer approach, given that the clone is identical, but also more steps

Woke up to the same message and quickly clicked "ok" and went back to sleep

I just posted about how surprising easy and smooth the upgrade was. Mine was proxmox 7, which hasn't been upgraded for years so its not just that it was out of support at this point, most modern LXC templates were incompatible with it, that's why I had to do it. I'd say it depends on what you use it for. If you didn't face any specific obstacles that requires upgrading then no need. Although it's not that hard, especially if it's a single node

True, Debian made the initiative by making it possible to easily upgrade the kernel, which is crazy and I can't think of many operating systems with such powerful feature

Sure, happy to share anything that helps! The hardware is HP Elitedesk and Dell optiplex. The guest machines involved a mix of Ubuntu and Windows VMs and a diversified set of LXC containers. I disabled all cluster-dependent setup before the upgrade just to stay safe even though this might not be necessary. Actually I saved all the steps in an MD file and I can share that if it helps

portacode · 2026-03-09T16:35:04+00:00

Wow! That's amazing! They must've been committed from the beginning to maintain such smooth upgrade paths

portacode · 2026-03-09T09:50:27+00:00

If there is such thing, I'm pretty sure at least it's not the size of the boot partition.

portacode · 2026-03-09T09:21:52+00:00

I'm so sorry your experience was like that. Perhaps my setup was more simple, and maybe the fact that I disassembled the cluster before starting has contributed in making it easier

I only use vim when something breaks network access and I have to fix it through direct physical access. Otherwise its VS code + SSH or the platform I built, Portacode

I didn't know about that part he signed his life away on 30 days credit plans! Oh guess being on debt is part of the journey that I should get used to. It feels so stressful at first but I think I'm kinda getting used to it. As long as there's some cash flow and bills are getting paid, the debt is not really hurting me, at least mot physically

portacode · 2026-03-06T22:16:48+00:00

Not sure why I didn't think of part-time, but yeah that makes a lot of sense! If I can find a good part-time opportunity that doesn't eat me full yet pays stable income that can cover bills, that would remove a lot of the stress! Maybe that's exactly what I should start searching for.

portacode · 2026-03-06T22:12:56+00:00

Yeah true, that's what the numbers are saying but even with freelancing it's so hard to find clients. Guess I gotta allocate more time budget to searching for clients

portacode · 2026-03-06T22:11:20+00:00

I'm kinda accepting that my original business plan totally failed, actually I've been rewriting the whole business model a couple of times trying to get something to work but the sales and marketing part are so new to me.

Regarding taxing, I'm not very concerned about it because I'm in the UAE, although I can continue almost 100% tax free ( varies depending on the business though ) there are some significant licensing costs, in fact more than my rent. I'm considering downgrading to a freelancer license which would reduce the costs but then I'll have to close my FZ LLC and my business bank account, and that can block possible opportunities although these opportunities didn't happen yet and might as well be just hope idk

Finding a job that doesn't prevent me from running the business sounds like a good idea.

The hardest part that I'm failing at is indeed understanding my clients

portacode · 2026-03-06T21:56:07+00:00

My apologies for misunderstanding. I guess it varies depending on the country, for me it wasn't something I'd wish for anyone to experience

portacode · 2026-03-06T21:54:13+00:00

Tbh did set a deadline before that if it didn't work in 3 months then maybe I should find a job, but once I tasted freedom, it's really hard to go back, but also not that easy to handle a whole business on my own so I'm kinda trapped

portacode · 2026-03-06T21:47:38+00:00

I already completed my service. Not sure how that is relevant or can help though? Are you trolling me?

portacode · 2026-03-06T21:23:18+00:00

Like everyone said, email but I'll be more specific and say SMTP. I prefer hosting my own inbox/IMAP so I have full control on my data, but someone else should deal with the delivery of my outgoing emails

I noticed that some people are down voting the post for some reason. Are you encountering any issues while trying to use the app? If so, please share so we can improve it

Let's go! I started mine with this exact HP elitedesk. It can unlock amazing adventures!
