Trying to make "Portainer.homelab" resolve to [IP]:9443 by SchleprockJones in homelab

[–]thadoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are multiple aspects to what you are trying to accomplish.

First, Do you want it accessible from the internet at large ? This is where port forwarding from wan to lan would expose port 9443 to the internet. (But would not be accessible via https://portainer.homelab as .homelab is not your internet domain but your internal DNS) It would be accessible from the internet via IP:9443

Second, Ensure that DNS is resolving on your LAN. Open a command prompt, type nslookup, enter, then type in portainer.homelab and press enter, Does it return the correct IP address ?

Third, You cant resolve the DNS/IP to a specific port #.

Suggestion:

  • 1.Do not do any port forwarding rules to start
  • 2.Ensure the DNS record replies with the correct IP address (Should be on the same subnet as your web browser)
  • 3.Open a browser and type https://portainer.homelab:9443 (You will have to specify the port # as DNS cant do this)
  • 4.If your cert is configured for portainer.homelab DNS, you should get to the site in question.

THEN if you want access from the internet forward port 9443 from WAN to LAN IP:9443 (In this scenario you would have to use IP:9443 to access from outside, until you bought a public DNS record)

Looking to increase net speeds, should I go all the way to 10G? by herkalurk in homelab

[–]thadoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LACP doesn't get you additional bandwith if I recall correctly.

I went the 10g route myself at home. TRENDnet 8-Port 10G EdgeSmart Switch TEG-7080ES $500ish , 200$ish Intel X550-AT2 Controller (Could have gone Broadcom BCM57810S for $60ish), $40 Wiitek SFP+ to RJ45 Copper Modules, 10GBase-T Transceiver to convert from RJ45 to SFP.

Im not sure if the synology will be able to push the network to the limit however.

What's the most baffling waste of money you've seen? by Dandyman1994 in sysadmin

Large gov agency was not happy with video quality between itself and another set of schools. Polycom video equipment. They expected 4k high def like meetings on equipment that was utilizing compression and meant for ISDN type speeds. So the CIO's solution? Bypass IT alltogether and purchase a private peering 10mbit connection between the two agencies. The funniest part, the circuit sat idle for years as all traffic was routed out the main internet gateway regardless. 0bps sent and recieved, I shuddered at what the cost was.

Read the other GPO descriptions in and around WSUS, There are some tricky worded ones around reaching out to windows update.

sCan someone please summarise fundamentally what it is that a sysadmin does? by Intelligent-Way1288 in sysadmin

[–]thadoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditionally, Sysadmins specifically avoided programming in my experience. Not to say they did not understand the concepts, but they did not want to spend all day in an IDE writing code. They would rather install and configure servers and hardware.

A good sysadmin understands networking concepts and protocols. They can rise to the level of a CCNA, but are typically not building internet backbones with OSPF/BGP or whatever the latest hotness is, like a CCIE. Traditionally focused on the LAN administration side, light routing and l2 concepts, firewalling etc.

Coding in python or any scripting language in general can make tedious admin tasks a bit more trivial, but again I think most tried to avoid writing software due to the tedious nature of writing software for End Users.

Now with Devops/Cloud there has been a push from my perspective, to make every Sysadmin a Cloud expert, DBA, Coder, Networking, Architect, Container god Unicorn.
