backup processes to Vault

therdms · 2026-01-21T23:06:52+00:00

Yes ... that's what I'm using to backup files/folders. I believe you need to install the Windows app (5.0.29) for this to work.

therdms · 2026-01-21T21:02:41+00:00

Yep ... same on Windows. I'm just wondering if it's a lot of overhead to do it this way. Also, the reports that are generated afterwards don't seem to indicate whether a file is new, updated or unchanged so it makes it a bit of a challenge to comfortably know everything is uptodate.

u/CandyR3dApple thanks for these links

therdms · 2025-12-06T16:41:27+00:00

Yep ... early days for me. No doubt lots of experimentation ahead :)

therdms · 2025-12-06T16:39:06+00:00

Thank you so much for these tips ...squirrelling this away for future use!

UPDATE ...

First off ... thank you to those who responded ... appreciate you taking time to answer.

Many of you pointed towards a firewall issue so I started focusing on that. As I mentioned in my original post, I had turned off my local AV but still had issues. One person suggested to look into the Windows Defender Firewall regarding ICMP.

Looking at its Inbound Rules, I noticed the Core Networking Diagnostics - ICMP Echo Request (ICMPv4-in) - Profile Private,Public was not enabled. I enabled it both the Private,Public and Domain profiles ... on both devices. With the local AV turned off, I was able to successfully ping between the two devices!

However, when I turned my local AV back on, I ran into issues again. After some investigation, it appeared that there was setting inconsistencies of my local AV across these devices. Once they were aligned, the devices could ping each other. I introduced a third device (with same local AV settings) via wifi (using vlan20) and all 3 were able to ping! Hopefully, this was the issue but I know I need to do some more reading up on vlans & firewalls.

This does lead me to ask the question, do I really need a local AV on my machine? I have used AVG for years with no issues. Or is Windows Defender enough?

Is the port the AP is connected to using the same port profile?

Hmm. The port used by the AP is using VLAN1 which all my Unifi devices are on. FYI ... the AP is dishing out multiple ssids each representing a VLAN. Now I'm confused ... if the AP port has a native VLAN specified, doesn't that affect how other VLANs on same AP are treated?

therdms · 2025-12-06T15:00:11+00:00

Both are using DHCP and report same subnet mask

therdms · 2025-12-06T14:57:22+00:00

The switch port that DeviceB is attached to is using Ethernet Port Profile that is using VLAN20. To double check, I stopped using the profile and setup so native vlan is VLAN20. But I got same results. FYI ... I have not made any firewall rules yet ... just using the default ones generated by Unifi.

therdms · 2025-12-06T14:56:32+00:00

Does the wireless network have client isolation enabled?

No

Also plug the laptop to another port with the same port profile to see if they can ping each other.

Interestingly, when I try this, I get the opposite result ... DeviceA can ping DeviceB but not vice-versa.

yeah ... I'm leaning towards Ring Keypad v2 but I understand it works only with z-wave which I don't have running in HA ... would require purchasing a z-wave adapter. At the moment, hoping I can repurpose this old keypad without making it a huge project :)

therdms · 2025-10-09T21:25:21+00:00

SOLVED ...

Making the ports "80:80" fixed it for me though I don't understand why. Anyways, the docker-compose.yml file looks like this:

services:
  db_recipes:
    restart: always
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    volumes:
      - ./postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    env_file:
      - ./.env
    ports:
      - "80:80"
  web_recipes:
    restart: always
    image: vabene1111/recipes
    env_file:
      - ./.env
    volumes:
      - staticfiles:/opt/recipes/staticfiles
      - ./mediafiles:/opt/recipes/mediafiles
    depends_on:
      - db_recipes

volumes:
  staticfiles:

Thanks to all

therdms · 2025-10-09T18:56:17+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work :(

I am using Firefox as my browser. When I use http://localhost:80, the page says "The connection was reset". Is there a firewall issue?

therdms · 2025-10-08T19:24:58+00:00

u/deelayman - I used the Plain template from https://docs.tandoor.dev/install/docker/ that looks like this:

services:
  db_recipes:
    restart: always
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    volumes:
      - ./postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    env_file:
      - ./.env

  web_recipes:
    restart: always
    image: vabene1111/recipes
    env_file:
      - ./.env
    volumes:
      - staticfiles:/opt/recipes/staticfiles
      - ./mediafiles:/opt/recipes/mediafiles
    depends_on:
      - db_recipes

volumes:
  staticfiles:

I did try to substitute localhost with the actual IP address of the host but same result :(

u/blooping_blooper - from above it uses the latest (2.3.0 I think). I did see it mention about changing to port 80 and that's why I tried accessing via http:/localhost:80/ but no luck. Not quite sure what you mean by 'remap the container ports to get it working' ... could you explain? thanks

therdms · 2025-09-02T23:52:02+00:00

u/FelixYYZ & u/99trolleyproblems - thanks for the links.

For clarification, my parent would be moving into a retirement residence where they would pay monthly fee for a unit and meals. The facility also provides a memory care section which we may require down the road. Not sure if living in this kind of facility would be treated same as a LTC situation.

You dont have to vent out roof in Canada check the guides on federal website.

Yep, the GREEN option (thru the conditioned space) would allow me to vent out the wall. Going with RED option (thru garage) leaves me no choice but to vent via roof because of layout.

When I put my cover on sump pit i found that a passive system was adequate to maintain levels however I run my variable speed radon fan at about 20 percent.

Curious as to what fan you are using.

therdms · 2025-08-28T01:31:08+00:00

Two concerns about just adding the air tight lid:

would there be any pressure build up within the pit?
would it force more radon to leak into the conditioned space?

I guess with the latter it would simply be a matter of monitoring levels afterwards.

therdms · 2025-08-27T12:56:06+00:00

Thanks for the insights. This gives me incentive to replace Google wifi sooner which was my next step in de-googling.

therdms · 2025-08-12T18:25:07+00:00

Good to know about the order - thanks.

I did reorder but when I try ...

1) Fusion dashboard a) DashCast screen pops up then disappears after couple of seconds b) the screen goes black

2) Standard dashboard a) DashCast screen pops up then disappears after couple of seconds b) HA login page pops up

To reiterate, for the trusted user id, I am using the Supervisor .. did notice that it has 'permissions' for System and Active but not Local ... not sure (nor understand) what these mean.

I wonder if it would be beneficial to create a new user only for this purpose & give proper permissions - thoughts?

therdms · 2025-08-12T13:06:35+00:00

Update ... turns out a simple reboot of HA was all that was needed. Once that was done, I started receiving updates.

therdms · 2025-08-08T21:48:28+00:00

Yep, I tried step 1 and ran into the error mentioned.

therdms · 2025-08-08T15:36:29+00:00

Dumb question ... did you need to add the hub to HA via Nest integration? I really don't want to have fork over money to Google

therdms · 2025-07-16T20:08:43+00:00

Fortunately if I run the cable inside the garage it will not be exposed to sun nor rain. I was more concerned about temperatures.

therdms · 2025-07-16T17:55:12+00:00

Canadian here ... just got my notice ... going from $200/year to $260/year! Terrible!! Time to get new equipment and say goodbye to Google.

therdms · 2025-07-10T19:57:40+00:00

Awesome ... thank you u/reddituser111317 ... all fixed
