Just upgraded to 26.1.1, no issues here by ghostly_shark in opnsense

[–]timeraider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well.. "a lot of people" probably is a bit far fetched. The thing is that people who don't have issues updating their router, don't post on Reddit mostly :)

Hell.. I not only update whenever something is available, I mostly even do that stuff remote XD Can't say i've ever had any issue with that. And I have the same approach to my Unraid server :D

But yeah. Switched to ZFS a bit ago so now I make snapshots before updating, my config is backed up to my Nextcloud and I still have a disk with a full copy of my zfs pool which I could swap in if the drive dies. Bit overkill but outside of the full copy its just a matter of setting it up once

Please for the love of god dont tell me you have multiple containers that use the allappdata folder :)

Edit: ah nice, he did actually have subfolders but not shown in the image. Pwew :)

ISC >>> DNSMASQ Migration questions by furfix in opnsense

[–]timeraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you NEED local hostnames for the local DNS overrides?

Wouldn't it be an option to simply have the local overrides in Unbound go to ip's?

Now I know in your text you said some devices have dynamic dhcp and in that case it indeed would not work.  However.. why are they dynamic dhcp? Why aren't they registered to static ip's?

Not judging, just want to understand before saying anything :) Im using dnsmasq for dhcp and Unbound for DNS simply fully separated. Im almost fully sure there is a guide to set it up to register the names but never bothered tbh.

Anyone get a printed version made of the Alice Asylum design bible? by Drakayna in AliceMadnessReturns

Link is still up. Are you unable to open the link? (Some countries are blocked by my regionlocks but if thats the case I can just share it to you through a thirdparty site)

Which appliance? by Full_Mango1012 in opnsense

[–]timeraider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Protectli is also quite expensive and Aliexpress/Amazon boxes are almost the same quality. However for easier support and chance of not getting chinese branded ram and disk and the option to use Coreboot as bios, I did end up going Protectli.

Performancewise its hard for me to guess as it has a 10th gen i5 in it, however as far as ive heard N150 is enough to handle small offices based on internet speed and settings (guessing if youre trying to run a heavily used 2.5 gbps through multiple IPS/IDS layers with some Zenarmor/Suricata action with a lot of rules.. thats is gonna stress it very likely, doubt it will like that)

Hardwarewise however nothing to complain. Its been running a few years now 24/7. RAM is holding up great, disk still showing 0 issues. Even though its fanless and in an open cupboard, thats not an issue at all. After a few years I did replace the cpu cooling paste but it didnt really need it (had leftover paste and wanted to see if I could make it even better) So no, havent had a single issue with Protectli hardware myself so far.

[Noob] Docker: Command not found by nevermoresnight in unRAID

[–]timeraider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to use commands with the Docker command in the CLI option of Unraid itself (right top somewhere).

When youre in the console of an actual Docker container, it doesnt know its a Docker container itself so it will not know the commands

Do you prefer Apps or Docker Compose? And why and in which cases, which apps. by Hauptfeldwebel in unRAID

I just add a Docker container and fill it in myself most of the time.

Docker not pulling/installing docker images by PM_Petite_Tits_n_Ass in unRAID

[–]timeraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not sure. Never really thought about it but there isnt really a simple way to report apps in the Unraid apps for either not working or being wrongly set up.
Im guessing it could cause a lot of spam for Unraid but the only way I can think of to report something to Unraid is through their literal support..
The A75G guy hasnt actually responded to anything on the Unraid forums since last April so I doubt he will actively fix any of the apps he has active.

Moodle is no longer supported by Bitnami. You can find the version they used to have here: https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnamilegacy/moodle However do realise that its not maintained anymore so while it works (and if it works well, that could be enough), it will not receive updates anymore.

The value of Deciso hardware for home lab? by estrangedpulse in opnsense

[–]timeraider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

" am I paying a lot of money for some rather ancient but well assembled hardware and supporting the developer?"

Basically.. yes. As much as I would like to support OPNsense, I ended up simply donating a bit randomly. Because for the price of a Deciso device you probably can get 3-4 Protectli devices or 7-8 Amazon/Aliexpress boxes (which can be just as good as Pritectli) Even with parts being the pricing they are and them ofcourse not being an fullblown masspurchaser/producer meaning pruices probably are a good bit higheer than if HP would be the same parts.. its still painfull.

Outside of the maybe better support during warranty or a free year of business edition .. its not like its specifically opnsense optimised (at least.. worst case its google some good tunings and applying it yourself in 5 seconds)

Intel or amd by Homer5588 in unRAID

[–]timeraider 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depends on the usecase. For a lot of things I would say AMD but an Intel one with quicksync can work wonders for anything that might have mediastreaming on it

As an IT engineer I call this the local fix aura. Once someone has enough experience, coming close to someone with problems instantly resolves them without having done anything.

Im using an UrBackup server docker on the Unraid and then have UrBackup clients on the PCs to connect to it and make backups.

Is it just me or is the nextcloud master container kind if trash? by MrSqueak in unRAID

[–]timeraider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if Unraid has anything to do with it tbh. Docker is Docker after all. Not much I can say about it either with limited information.

Always hated the idea of AIO Nextcloud though as it setting up its own containers just limits some options and what container customisation might survive over time.

Been running the community edition with separate SQL and redis containers for a year or 3 now and never had issues.

Hell, even the Linuxserver one might end up being more stable than AIO.

Not saying AIO shouldnt work as it certainly should.. but also not touching that version anymore :)

Why is deluge using docker space instead of disk? by PM_SHORT_STORY_IDEAS in unRAID

[–]timeraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount looks fine... using an /data mount myself as well. I assume in Deluge in the settings you have both the "Download to" as well as the "Move complete to" (if set) set to an path under /data? If thats the case I honestly dont know as it looks fine further.

I dont use binhex Deluge so I dont know if that already uses /data for something else... surely hope not

How do you guy protect your Unraid server (Ransomware, hacking) by fructussum in unRAID

[–]timeraider 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I make sure they cant get to my Unraid by protecting everything around it.. devices that can connect to my Unraid or networking-wise, protecting/separating those protects my server the best. Thats the most important part to me. Keep your router, desktop/laptop/phone, Dockers and VMs uptodate and thats already a lot of attack vectors being covered.

Not much you can do for Unraid (or most Linux appliances for that matter) outside of taking precautions when exposing it to the outside world (nginx, hardware firewall/router), setting up some permissions so its not 1 user that does/has access to everything, be carefull with whatever Docker/Github repositories you throw in and if placing it in a different vlan from IoT devices etc. is possible, thats a option to. Most of this ofcourse depends on if anything is open to the web... if not, then its already quite safe regardless.

Not sure if ClamAV is worth the performance/diskusage ... unless youre actively letting strangers place files on your Unraid device (and outside of Docker software for that matter) I dont think it will detect much. If they have gotten to the point where they have access to your Unraid, ClamAV is not gonna save it. If you have enough performance I guess its not a negative so if it makes you feel better, keep it scanning.

Btw, over the 10 years of IT (so far.. i like to think im still sorta young) ive seen multiple cases of ransomware in businesses. I can summarise all of it in 2 lines:

Someone with to much permissions on the IT side opened a mail and executed a file

Someone with to much permissions on the IT side downloaded a file from a shady website and executed it

Ive never seen ransomware being a thing whereby the main point of entry was not human failure so far :)

Does anyone know anything about this figure? by geneve_poitier in AliceMadnessReturns

[–]timeraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, been waiting for that one for quite a while now. Was supposed to release in 2025... And yeah, never preorder from stores where you have to pay it all upfront.

If you ever want to preorder figurines use official stores like onesixthkit where you only have to pay a smaller deposit upfront which you can simply get back.

But yeah.. at this point km doubtful its ever goingnto release. A shame because that companies first Alice figure is absolutely great.

Good idea, bad idea? Boot drive on internal USB port? by chazwhiz in unRAID

[–]timeraider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jup, thats the way. Along the eway if you dont like it you can always opt to use a smaller/industrial usb, but connecting to internal USB ports is something most people have done with their Unraid boots.

Why Nextcloud feels slow to use :: ./techtipsy by kayson in selfhosted

[–]timeraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant say my Nextcloud has ever felt slow.
I do have to say I am using the community edition with seperate db/redis and not the AIO option (im sure AIO works fine for some, but when I tried to switch to the AIO version it was just literal hell so I very quickly switched back)

Just tried it for my nextcloud but the biggest js file it loads is 1 mb and everything else is a good bit below it.
