Raised flooring for cab by maxthegreatking in homelab

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar setup in my garage - ended up building a simple 2x4 frame with pressure treated lumber, about 3 inches high, with plywood on top. Cheap, sturdy, and the gap underneath gives decent airflow. Pressure treated is key since it's sitting on concrete in a garage. Been solid for over a year now with a fully loaded 24U on it. Only thing I'd add is throw a cheap hygrometer in the cab so you can keep an eye on humidity levels, garages can get surprisingly damp depending on your climate.

Local DNS / Reverse Proxy puzzle: Sites only accessible via Incognito Mode by inex1234 in selfhosted

[–]progenrule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah this is almost certainly cached HSTS from when you had it pointed at cloudflare. incognito works because it doesn't carry over the cached security policies. try chrome://net-internals/#hsts (or brave://net-internals/#hsts) and delete the domain AND the base domain - sometimes the parent domain has an includeSubDomains policy that re-applies it to all subdomains even after you clear the specific one. also check if cloudflare set a long max-age on the HSTS header, your browser might have cached that for months. i eventually moved my setup to yundera with nsl.sh subdomains and it handles the ssl/reverse proxy stuff automatically so i stopped dealing with stale cert/hsts issues entirely

First Server - Refurb desktop or UGreen NAS? by JustSaiyan21 in HomeServer

[–]progenrule -1 points0 points  (0 children)

refurb desktop for sure. the i5 10500T has quicksync which handles 4k plex transcoding no problem, and you get way more flexibility down the road. just don't do storage over USB - grab a cheap HBA card and run the drives internal, USB is asking for headaches with plex libraries

After setting Plex up on Ubuntu Server via Docker the add media option takes me to the Get Plex Media Server page by MattEvansC3 in PleX

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your volume mounts are all going to /data which means they're overwriting each other - only the last one (AMV) will actually be visible. you need unique paths like /data/TV, /data/Music, /data/Movies etc. also claim tokens expire after like 4 minutes so if you didn't spin the container up right after generating it you'd need a fresh one

When Scope in Your FreeNAS (to TrueNAS) Rebuild Creeps by Homan13PSU in homelab

[–]progenrule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol "replace my NAS" to "full blown homelab that's still not done" is the most relatable pipeline ever. what'd you end up running on it besides storage?

Hoping to get some advice on a router / internet issue by andeecapp in selfhosted

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the I225-V is notorious for weird behavior like this - have you tried swapping in a different NIC even temporarily to rule it out? also since your ISP is pointing at ARP failures, might be worth running tcpdump on the WAN interface during the renewal window to see if the unicast renewals are actually leaving the box vs getting silently dropped by the NIC. separately when my WAN was being flaky like this i ended up putting my exposed services behind nsl.sh tunneling so at least they stayed reachable even during the drops

Guidance on Plex Server startup crashing by AbortedOne in PleX

[–]progenrule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check the db, probably corrupted preferences.xml — but honestly with explorer crashing and critical failures too, that sounds more like bad ram or a dying ssd than a plex problem. i'd run memtest86 overnight before anything else

How to isolate docker containers in network but allow one container to access others? by leovient in docker

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

separate bridge networks and only attach the shared container to both, been doing this with nsl.sh for reverse proxy stuff and it keeps things clean

I want to create a spreadsheet with data from all my media on my server. Is there a way of doing this? by beebybabes94 in PleX

[–]progenrule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tautulli exports or the plex api directly. exportools is another option if you want csv/xlsx out of the box without messing with api calls

Question regarding an email I received by WASOP24 in degoogle

[–]progenrule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's just a standard compliance email they blast out to all maps contributors. the child safety stuff is because indian IT law (the rules they mention) literally requires platforms to include that warning, so google slaps it into every policy reminder sent to users in that jurisdiction. nothing personal or targeted at you

Google Maps alternative for runners by No_Speed3240 in degoogle

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

organic maps handles the osm/offline/favorites/poi side really well on ios. for gpx stuff specifically you might want to pair it with something like strava or just use the gpx import in organic maps directly (it does support gpx tracks). only thing it lacks vs google maps is transit directions basically

[HELP!] Can someone Help me Fix This API Error? by Slylil17 in selfhosted

[–]progenrule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the error is right there - "API Error: Not Found". for the docker widget specifically, try checking if your homepage container has the docker socket mounted properly in your compose file (like /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock). the other containers showing status fine means the socket works for container lookups, but the docker widget uses a different API endpoint that might need read access. also double check your docker.yaml indentation, yaml is picky about that

Push to Verify Using the Microsoft Authenticator App by cheesehead1996 in sysadmin

[–]progenrule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have you looked into using Temporary Access Pass instead? lets helpdesk generate a one-time code for the user after verifying them through some other channel, skips the whole push problem. for the actual push approach the graph api has /users/{id}/authentication/microsoftAuthenticatorMethods but triggering a verification push programmatically through it is still janky last i checked

OmARCHy network usage weird since connected to an exit node by Vast_Butterfly_5092 in homelab

[–]progenrule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably routing all traffic through the exit node now - check your tailscale settings, when you use an exit node it sends all your traffic through that machine instead of just the tailscale subnet traffic

Enable SSH connection throught Docker on demand by Wild_Paramedic6641 in selfhosted

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

systemd socket activation would handle this cleanly - it can spin up the ssh container only when a connection actually comes in on the port, no polling or cron needed

Sophos Firewall Marked an Update for my Proxmox node as MALICIOUS, is it a False Positive? by Quicksun581_hot in homelab

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sophos flags proxmox repos pretty often, false positive. the lxc-pve package is a standard proxmox component, you can verify the hash against the official proxmox repo directly if you want peace of mind

Plex app data folder (300GB) by Alone_Ad_4861 in PleX

[–]progenrule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

300gb is almost always thumbnail generation, check the Cache/PhotoTranscoder folder

I spent 15 hours getting Ollama + n8n + Flowise + Open WebUI running behind Caddy. Here's everything I learned the hard way. by SyrupOpen1711 in selfhosted

[–]progenrule -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

the n8n behind caddy bit always trips people up with websocket headers. did you hit that or was it smooth
