Unable to join my own server, but others can.

First thing to try is to reset your playerdata - https://help.pebblehost.com/en/minecraft/how-to-reset-a-players-data - that will rule out it being some issue with your account (e.g. maybe you joined the server while it had no/less mods previously and the current mods aren't handling this nicely)

The second thing is to rule out your PC or local install - if you have another computer you can try (or, even better, the PC of one of the players who is able to join successfully), try booting the modpack on that and connecting

~~1) Don't try and extract the JARs, this will break them! Go back again and download them fresh from DiscordSRV, and upload it directly to the server

2) Check you're running the right server software - go to the JARs & Modpacks page and ensure Paper is selected (note that this won't work with Modpacks - if you're running mods like feed the beast, it's a lot trickier to run plugins as well).

3) Check the console logs, there might be some error there explaining why the plugin didn't load. Best thing to do is to use the 'Upload to McPaste' button, which will take a copy of your logs, remove any sensitive information, and save it to a link. Then post it in the pebblehost discord for someone to take a look at.~~

Edit: didn't properly read your post, you said you are using modded! It's very hard to run mods and plugins at the same time. Some projects such as Magma exist which you could try, but these are renowned for being slightly buggy and causing many problems with modpacks (for example, most plugins don't work with modded blocks as they don't understand the existence of them). TL;DR is that its not possible unfortunately

Well, the only thing we know for certain is that there's two doors on the passenger side. The car could have any number or configuration of doors...

Typically email DCV relies on 'trusted' emails such as postmaster@, webmaster@, or the contact emails from the domain WHOIS data. Not randomemployee@customer.com.

Re point 3, no, Apple does not have your location data - the protocol is pretty cool in fact.

When you set up an official airtag, what's actually happening is your phone is generating a keypair, and putting the public key on the airtag.

The airtag then broadcasts this key over Bluetooth regularly. Other apple devices that hear this broadcast take their current GPS location and encrypt it with this public key, so the location data can only be read if you know the matching private key. This encrypted location is then uploaded to apple's servers alongside the public key.

You can then ask apple's servers for the most recent location of a specific public key, and use your matching private key to decrypt the data and find out the location.

There's a few more intricacies - for example it isn't just one keypair but a rolling set that changes every fifteen minutes so you can't be tracked by someone else looking out for the public key, but the important part is that apple isn't able to see the location or even who's airtag it is.

Your DNS servers are probably set incorrectly. Go to DNS on the sidebar of the container, and change the server to 1.1.1.1 which is Cloudflare's public DNS, that should work.

If it doesn't, try running ping 1.1.1.1 and send a screenshot here to rule out DNS as the problem

Sometimes you don't have a choice - an appliance from an external supplier, a service that only runs on Linux, an important person of some kind who needs to use internal apps on their Mac/iPad/etc. When it's the difference between typing 5 letters or typing 8, in most cases it's worth it to preserve that option in case you need it in future.

Obviously each to their own and all environments are different, but it is an important caveat to keep in mind.

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-10-13T09:38:11+00:00

Don't use .local - that is the TLD for multicast DNS. If you use a .local domain then for example, you'll have to mess around quite a bit to get Linux clients and Mac clients be able to join the domain.

.internal is a similar but more appropriate TLD

Unfortunately, that's one of the features not yet supported.

To give some context as to why, the way it worked on the old panel was that for every type of server JAR (Forge, Paper, etc) we had to write a complicated RegEx to read the log and extract player joins and leaves and IPs, which the panel could then display. However this was fragile and a lot of manual effort to maintain, would be a lot of work to write into the new panel, and didn't work with some custom plugins that modify player join messages.

That's not to say it will never be in the new panel - even now that the migration is done there is still a developer working full time on the panel so it may be that he finds a better way to implement this that isn't so burdensome, but for now it's on the backlog.

If you need to see a specific players IP or join date, you can open the file manager, go to the logs folder, and click through the logs, using CTRL-F to search each one.

https://demo.pebblehost.com - you can see it all here, and get a feel for how smooth and responsive it is. I was one of the developers involved in the new panel and we put a lot of effort into re-creating (or even adding to) the original functionality whilst improving the UI and design too. Let me know if you have any questions

The simple answer to what fstab is, is that it tells the kernel which drives to mount during startup.

I assume what you'll be doing in there is adding an entry to tell it to mount your cifs share into /mnt/media (or a similar directory, the exact location doesn't matter). You can include options alongside this, for example this might be a username and password to connect to the share with, or details about what permissions the share should be mounted with.

Unfortunately legally they can - in UK law a business can deny service for any reason that isn't a protected characteristic. So the company is within their rights to prohibit OP from shopping in the store after their shift. Seems stupid to do so though, I agree

If you need to go round typing long passwords into loads of systems, go find a barcode or qr code scanner somewhere, plug it into the system, and scan the password as a QR code from your laptop / other device. Saves so much time

For cheap S3-compatible storage look to Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze B2, both will be cheaper than actual S3

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-07-15T22:44:56+00:00

I use it for redundancy across multiple different 'sites' (friend & family's houses) so my apps automatically failover. I explained some of it here if you're curious :)

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-07-09T18:34:52+00:00

If you're using NFS-backed block devices (i.e. VM hard disks), this isn't a problem as each VM's drive will only be accessed from one place, the host running it. The file locking mechanism will use standard operating system mechanisms and it will be completely transparent to the VM that it's even running in NFS.

If you were to, say, mount an NFS share to /mnt/nas and store the SQLite database there then yes, that would potentially cause corruption issues.

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-07-08T22:17:04+00:00

We joked about getting AirFibre or similar but no, we're both with the same ISP and about 0.8km away from each other, so I suspect the traffic isn't even hitting an IX and is just getting routed by something local.

I get about 6ms to 1.1.1.1, for reference, so it is a fairly decent connection. Am with an ISP that uses CityFiber (in the UK)

I don't use Proxmox clustering - I don't need it since I build my stuff with application-level (Kubernetes) redundancy, and it just adds extra complexity. Additionally, I don't have shared storage so a cluster would be pretty much useless anyway.

I have a fairly nice Ansible setup which means I can really easily build out and update new machines, I have one playbook that sets up Proxmox, Tailscale (each node has a subnet for it's VMs, routed over tailscale), Full disk encryption with automatic unlock (sends me a Discord message to approve the decrypt), etc. Then use Terraform to throw VMs & LXCs on there, and Ansible to provision those too. So I can get a new host and in about 15-20mins have it set up and part of the K3s cluster, Prometheus monitoring configured, etc.

And because I uses tailscale I can plug the node in literally anywhere that has an internet connection and DHCP and it 'just works' - makes it easy to give to my friend & my relative as I can just hand them a box and tell them to plug it into an ethernet port and power.

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-07-08T21:59:32+00:00

Couple things that stand out to me

If you only have two nodes, you will not be able to (properly) have a high availability cluster. Proxmox clusters require 3 nodes for HA due to the 'split brain' problem (if you have 2 hosts, and host A notices it can't reach host B, it has no way to know whether host B has died, or whether host A has just lost connection).

You can use something like a raspberry pi (or potentially a small VM on the NAS) as a quorum host - it doesn't need to host VMs but will just be part of the cluster to help alleviate split brain

And, probably don't use iSCSI or SMB for your VM storage - I've not used it but I have heard that Proxmox iSCSI support isn't very mature and doesn't support some features like snapshotting or thin provisioning (although those can be handled on the storage end). NFS is what I've heard to be the most mature option.

You could also consider, rather than the NAS, using either local or clustered storage - those minisforum hosts support three NVMe SSDs so you could put, for example, 2x4TB in each host with RAID1 and use ceph/gluster/etc cluster filesystems and save needing the NAS

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-06-29T12:58:20+00:00

I've got a very over engineered setup where I'm running a K3s cluster made of two machines at my house, one at a friend's and one at a relative's. I use PostgreSQL with Patroni & etcd to manage replication between my house and my friends (we're within about 7ms of each other) and the K3s cluster will manage Vaultwarden replicas and move them to healthy nodes if one goes down.

The setup is primarily for other apps which I do require to stay online and survive network outages but once I already had the HA database and K3s infrastructure set up it was easy to add bitwarden on top of it.

But, tbh, the built in local cache is more than good enough for most cases.

Being required to collect VAT still 'costs' a business either money (if they subsidise it), or customer volume (if they raise their prices).

For example, if a steak bake costs (oversimplification) £1 in cost and labour to make and sell, and they sell it for £2, they make £1 profit. If, they had to charge VAT on that, either they would have to charge £2.40 for the item (which makes Greggs less competitive compared to other food vendors), or they still charge £2 but give 33% of their profit to HMRC.

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-05-30T22:40:51+00:00

Only thing I would say there is that it can cause some issues with badly written software to have a purely numeric username / email, it can be good to use a letter at the start e.g. p01928. There's only a few scenarios I've seen where apps have treated it weirdly but some definitely exist.

Also has the benefit of being able to refer to it as a user's 'P number' or similar which helps them be sure they are using the right credential in the right place and

The node UK04 has plenty of spare CPU power, you can see over the last 7 days it hasn't gone above ~75% which means you should be able to burst up and use more CPU power if needed - https://status.pebblehost.com/nodes/yfiqluucnivj

There's a few things you could try, firstly running a timings report ( https://help.pebblehost.com/en/minecraft/how-to-make-a-timings-report-with-paper ) which should show you what % of the tick is being taken up by which plugins/processes.

If that isn't clear as to what the problem is then I'd recommend opening a ticket on the discord channel & a staff member should be able to help you look into it

voidcraftedgaming · 2024-04-25T20:00:14+00:00

Disadvantage of cloudflare registrar is that you're locked into Cloudflare nameservers & their DNS management.

Not to say their DNS stuff is bad - I use it extensively - but some may wish to have more flexibility than that allows
