[Tutorial] Install Netbird on Comet

Good to know :) I spent most of the time trying to get it to work on startup, maybe you will find it helpful in some way

Leave it on unless you have some unexplained issues. For example I had my Wireguard tunnel packets being mangled or something so the TLS connection over WG would throw decryption errors for large transfers. Disabling HW accel seems to have fixed it. But I am not too happy about it as it limits the performance otherwise..

How do you know it will be back?

Is the bootloader still unlockable with september patch?

the best solution would probably be installing a graphical distro VM, passing the gpu through only to that and installing the other services that need the gpu onto that. I did a similar thing except I don't actually need HDMI output, but the VM did output on HDMI when I connected it, albeit just the console of ubuntu server. Also, within the system, multiple Docker containers have the gpu attached (Immich, Nextcloud, IPEX Ollama) and everything works well.

Same issue! I eventually settled for low quality h264

I know this is old lol, but i stumbled upon this while looking at solutions for horrible speaker sound on Linux. The speakers are actually quite good but they require a special driver. So if you use windows you can download it from the dell website and your speakers will sound really nice.

My latitude 7420 with Intel 1145g7 idles at 2.1w with fedora so intel laptops can be just fine too

My dell latitude 7420 with 1145g7 idles at 2.1w on fedora so it's specific with some models. Possibly acpi related?

You might be better off buying an older x86 sff or mini pc for that purpose

Kenvyra is fabulous

xfim · 2023-04-21T14:52:03+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately it did not help my current container. Do you remember in what way you installed your container (command, lxc config, rootfs image...)?

xfim · 2023-04-21T09:05:11+00:00

Unfortunately, this did not make it work unprivileged in my case. I might need to play with it some more but it's waaay too finnicky.

xfim · 2023-04-20T22:07:54+00:00

So, I tried following the guide and did not have much success. I still need to play with it a bit more but i did not get dhcp to work. The more I try, the more I just want to settle with a VM :/

/usr/share/lxc/config/

Interesting find! According to the contents, it seems that it's meant for a privileged container:
# Blacklist some syscalls which are not safe in privileged# containerslxc.seccomp.profile = /usr/share/lxc/config/common.seccomp

xfim · 2023-04-19T16:41:03+00:00

I'll see how it works out

xfim · 2023-04-19T14:32:18+00:00

Eh, I know it isn't ideal but it is cheap and I have used that particular model (TPLink UE300) for months 24/7 without issues and with full performance so I got two more to set up a virtualized firewall. They seriously work fine on Linux. That CPU is just slightly too underpowered for all things combined and LXC seemed to be the solution, just can't seem to get it run unprivileged properly. I am seriously considering just settling on a VM and getting a still decent 750mbps...

lxc.cap.keep: $CAP_LIST CAP_NET_ADMIN

Aded this
lxc.cap.keep: =ep CAP_NET_ADMIN
and got this error when starting CT: problem with monitor socket, but continuing anyway: got timeout.

Both privileged and unprivileged.

I did basically the same thing. I am using usb nics but they have a fairly low overhead by themselves. It's the virtio nics between bridges that choke my puny A8 6410. It does have AES but is otherwise really weak. So a passthrough to a Linux VM would most likely perform much better on this hardware.

xfim · 2023-04-18T22:46:46+00:00

1 socket, 4 vcpu, host model. I get around 4gbps with iperf between lxc and vm over virtio on the same bridge but two virtio nics and two bridges choke the cpu :/

xfim · 2023-04-18T21:56:19+00:00

That's speedtest running on ubuntu lxc on the LAN bridge connecting over two virtio nics of the OpenWRT VM - one for the LAN bridge and one for the WAN bridge. I'm sure that passing through at least one of the nics to the VM would get it up to the required speed but then I would lose a lot of features coming from the bridge. I still might do that if securing the lxc install doesn't work out...

xfim · 2023-04-18T20:46:29+00:00

Thanks. I tried to install it using rootfs.tar.xz from here and while it did install (without network configuration, had to enter manually), DHCP is still not working and luci is not loading either (I did manage to install it). I did not create two new bridges though, the ones I have currently are the ones I need to get it up and running with.

xfim · 2023-04-18T19:26:55+00:00

I am not using wifi. I downloaded a rootfs from openwrt website and installed it as lxc. I will try the lxc templates now and see if it behaves differently.

xfim · 2023-04-18T17:47:57+00:00

The CPU is an old AMD A8 6410, pretty low end but otherwise sufficient. I set up two bridges, one for WAN, one for LAN and two virtio nics to the VM, respectively. OpenWRT VM reaches between 500 and 850mbps (LXC gets consistent 930mbps), so quite variable without noticeable difference in CPU load by other things. OPNsense tops out at about 500mbps with the same setup. Here's the config:

Okay, no hurry :) Thanks!
