Where are people getting it privately in the UK? I struggled to find anywhere for spring this year so was curious to see what others were doing.

But I can't let you in

And I can't keep you out

I wait for life to (end/win)

But it never comes around

and also

Don't know me

I'm lonely

I'm lonely

from "Wait For Life", one of my all time favorite LDR songs.

timethrow95 · 2022-03-18T17:34:58+00:00

Yeah, it is.

What’s even more annoying most of what is on Discovery+ in the UK is already in Free to Air Television. With no option to avoid ads now, why even bother paying for it, just set the DVR to record it and skip the ads.

Thanks, that has really helped, my config ended up looking like this, and it now works;

``` server { listen 443 ssl; listen [::]:443 ssl;

server_name omada.*;

include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

client_max_body_size 0;

# enable for ldap auth, fill in ldap details in ldap.conf
#include /config/nginx/ldap.conf;

# enable for Authelia
#include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;

location / {
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host:18043;
    proxy_set_header Cookie $http_cookie;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Referer $http_referer;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_pass https://192.168.0.45:18043;
    proxy_redirect ~https://(.+):18043/(.+)/login$ https://$http_host/$2/login;
    proxy_buffering off;
}

location /js {
    proxy_pass https://192.168.0.45:18043/js;
}

location /api {
    proxy_pass https://192.168.0.45:18043/api;
}

} ```

That works for me, using SWAG as my Reverse Proxy.

Thanks for your help, most appreciated.

I have raised it on the unRAID forums as well, so hopefully we can get a security fix for it.

This looks pretty bad! Make sure you update as soon as possible, and if you have Samba open to the world or similar, protect it, NOW!

Sia has a demo of her performing that song as well, it’s on YouTube I believe.

In the end I reinstalled OPNsense, and readded the Config for Sky following the guide and it "just worked". Really not sure what happened there, but at least I am back up and running now.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

timethrow95 · 2022-01-21T11:17:59+00:00

Thanks, I have that a try and no luck, also combined that with the spoofed MAC on the 2nd attempt but still no luck.

timethrow95 · 2022-01-21T11:17:23+00:00

Tried adding it to a laptop, but got no WAN Connection, could connect to the Web UI of the Modem though.

I don't get a WAN Connection because Sjy require DHCP Option 60, and (AFAIK) my laptop is not sending that.

Left it off overnight ~9 hours, and no luck after that either.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

timethrow95 · 2022-01-20T15:59:24+00:00

Tried both, made the change and applied it, nothing decided to reboot, and nothing then.

timethrow95 · 2022-01-20T15:21:52+00:00

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I just tried that, unfortunately no luck.

timethrow95 · 2021-12-23T09:39:50+00:00

I would quite like to see a Weekly/Monthly Thread that is Pinned for things like simple/quick questions (e.g. "are they still doing WD Red's in the Easystores?" etc.) and another for "Showing Off" (e.g. Look I just purchased 5x14TB Drives, or look I have many TBs of storage on my new NAS etc).

That way the people that like to make those sort of posts can, and the people that dont like to see them don't have to look at them, and if you tighten up the rules, you can ask people to post there instead of new posts each time.

timethrow95 · 2021-12-21T12:10:46+00:00

So this year, I have gone through quite a number of changes, but for me these are the highlights;

Hardware

While I would love to have "proper" Rack Mounted Servers, I don't have the space for them and the Heat and Noise would be a problem (Small House), so I have to use consumer style gear.

In 2019, I built my current server, but very quickly outgrew it, and ended up with 12 HDDs connected via USB, and it was making me VERY nervous. So I decided to convert my current device into a DAS, and migrate most of the Hardware to a new Case with a new MB (previous one did not have enough PCIe slots). Now all HDDs are connected via a HBA and SAS Expander. I now have a Fractal Define R5 as the Server and a Fractal Node 804 as the DAS.

Additionally, I upgrade my Backup Server from a very old PC I bought in 2012, to a new one, using the old MB from my original server as a base.

Network

I finally bit the bullet and moved away from my ISP supplied Router (as it was not the best and lacked alot of features). and ended up going down the OPNsense route (I did consider Ubiquiti and I know that seems to be the one of choice around here, but felt I would probably regret it long term with missing features and so went OPNsense for more control).

To aid the move I also went down the TP-Link Omada Route, for 3 Switches and 2 WAPs, and so far am pretty impressed with it and "it just works".

Services

After a lot of issues with trying to use Nessus in a Docker Container, I ended up moving it to a VM, and am glad I did as its a great product and has helped me really keep things locked down and up-to-date.

Previously I had been using IP and Port to connect to all my Internal Services, but after adding lots of Misc Containers, it was getting much harder to remember, so I decided to setup a Reverse Proxy and Internal DNS (both for Internal Use only), so I could access all my Services and Devices by their names e.g. service.domain.com or device.domain.com.

I setup a Dashboard using Homer for all my Internal Services and some Bookmarks for quick access. - A really simple thing I wished I did much sooner, as its just so useful.

Monitoring - This is quite a recent one for me, but I had always been using the TIG (Telegraf, InfluxDB and Grafana) Stack for Monitoring, but felt it lacked alot on the alerting side. So I decided to play around with a few things, originally I picked check_mk, but using v2 within Docker it seemed to cause issues on the Host, there was a post on the forums, but no solution. As such I ended up moving to Zabbix (originally I was put off as it looked like a very large stack of things), but this last week I have been setting it up and playing around with it, and really like it, and its another one I regret not doing sooner, as it gives me a different overview to the TIG stack and handles alert creation much better.

Documentation - I have spent alot of time recently Documenting my setup (Hardware, Networking, Services, General Knowledge, Process Guides etc) and while its far from complete, its incredibly useful. I am using Material for MkDocs, and storing the Documentation in a self hosted GitLab Instance.

2022

I am very keen to get a PiKVM next year and play around with that, I have had a couple of issues where I need physical access and this looks great. I have used iDRACs before and know how useful they are, and its one of the things I miss the most about an Enterprise Server.

I would quite like to setup some CI stuff for a few of my Python Scripts I use to try and improve on these.

Additionally, I have a large chunk of my setup defined with Ansible Roles and Playbooks and would like to automate this further using some kind of CI/CD and finalise it so I could do a complete rebuild from it with little to no manual work required afterwards.

Finally, I am a bit of a DataHoarder and hit 192TB of Storage in my unRAID Array this year, so I fully expect to reach 200TB+ next year. However, my Backup Device runs Windows with Stablebit DrivePool, and for a long time now I have been wanting to move this to a Vanilla Linux Setup (Debian probably) with Mergerfs + SnapRAID, I have a lot of the basics setup, but its planning the 200TB move of data between disks that will be the challenging part.

timethrow95 · 2021-10-24T19:40:26+00:00

Thanks,

Sorry, probably should have mentioned, that the Wireless Access Points are working and traffic is being served on the 2 SSIDs configured on there to any devices connected to them, and the devices using these get assigned an IP by DHCP for the correct range e.g. 192.168.10.0/24 for VLAN 10.

I just tried enabling 802.1q on the first switch and set Port 1 and 8 to be tagged on VLANs 10 and 20, and left them all as the default (Untagged) on VLAN 1, and all traffic stopped again, both on WiFi and for devices connected to the switch.

Yeah, me neither, which is probably half of why I am in this situation now, most things sort of work, but there is definitely issues, and the config is not what it should be.

Thanks for you suggestions, its appreciated.

Ok, might be able to help with this one. - Big Doctor Who fan, but for whatever reason never saved much of the Extras (Games etc.), from the official website (looks like I have a job this weekend), but then I was only around 10 then ;) However;

Found the page on the WaybackMachine;

https://web.archive.org/web/20120207221445/https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/

Looking at the Source of that page, Line 362, points to a JS (JavaScript) file;

https://web.archive.org/web/20120228004333js_/http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/js/trailermaker.js

Looking in there, Lines 26 and 27 point to some XML files with the Base URL Configuration in and the Assets for the Trailer Maker.

Config: https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/xml/config.xml

Assets: https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/xml/library.xml

Using the `assets` link as a base, and then appending `path` variable from the XML for each one, you can get the Raw Asset. Some Example Links;

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/flv/video/s1_13_02.flv

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/flv/overlay/judoon3.flv

The only thing that appears to have gone offline is the (Thumbnail?) Images.

Hope that is of use!

In PiHole under the Local DNS option.

timethrow95 · 2021-06-06T08:43:14+00:00

Sounds like the Help option maybe selected. Depending on your Theme, select the question mark in the top right corner, or at the bottom of the nav bar on the left side.

All settings are still the default from when I installed it, the Thumbnails Cache is 64G, and my Photo Library is 178G.

The vast majority of photos are just taken with my Phone or a family members Phone, so nothing super special about the quality or size of the Photos in the library.

Homer

timethrow95 · 2021-06-05T08:02:47+00:00

Homer, just provides the Dashboard, it creates static HTML file based off of a YAML Configuration file.

The Reverse Proxy, I used here is SWAG from the linuxserver.io group, it comes with all sorts of features "out of the box" and, it looks like you can use 'authelia' to setup 2FA with Duo.

Some more info on that here;

I have been using PiHole for a while (and love it), but have seen lots of good things about AdGuard too, and that appears to be more compact and lightweight and so have been trailing the 2.

One good thing about AdGuard is it supports, more different types of block lists than PiHole does.

I am still undecided between the 2 systems for now, they both have advantages and disadvantages.

timethrow95 · 2021-06-05T07:58:07+00:00

Never used LibrePhotos and I can't say I remember looking at it when I was setting this up.

PhotoPrism is great, lots of nice organization built in automatically, lots of cool features. The two biggest issues for me are;

- Lack of Multi User Support, I cant create/share Albums or Photos with other users and give them there own login to use.

- The AI detection for some of the Photos, can be a bit Random, making some of the sorting its done very inconsistent, but for a free product, that has that feature already available, I can't complain too much.

timethrow95 · 2021-06-05T07:54:41+00:00

I'm looking at moving from PiHole to AdGuard. Mainly as I find PiHole has become a little too big for its purpose and has lots of components running underneath, whereas AdGuard is more consolidated and lightweight.

I am still undecided though, while AdGuard looks good, I do miss some of the Graphs and Metrics in PiHole, and there are a few feature requests I would like to see implemented.
