i just moved almost all of my containers (except for my omada controller) to my VM running fedora and podman off my VM running ubuntu and docker. why? i was in a product sales call (being sold to) and didn't have any actual work tasks to do during that time. Now there's an additional VM on the network.
Trying to decide if I'll move omada as well or just shift everything back. I shouldn't have fiddled with the stack while I was bored. A video game or something would've been a better idea.
Trying to get the right combo of iptables rules to shuttle traffic from vps to home lab server (as I think I'll need to do once my ISP upgrade puts me behind CGNAT for the first time...
Got it working sorta, but I didn't like seeing my vps private link address instead of the remote in logs.
I installed Jitsi Meet on my YUNOhost server and am very impressed. It works really well and needed basically no setting up after installing.
I have a question on top of my matrix setup. Has any one integrated VoIP? I am trying to bring all communication in house.
I finally bought a tiny PC to replace my aging APU border router/firewall (OpenBSD), so I'm trying to wrap my head around building a router currently inside the network that it will be protecting.
I have Debian installed as hypervisor, Incus, and sticking with OpenBSD for the firewall. pf makes too much sense to me too switch to firewalld. I'll also move the network-related containers off my main lab host once this is up and running.
Went through and verified that a number of things were backing up and updating correctly. I feel a little less weight on my shoulders knowing things are working as they should.
Finally found what's causing my laptop's DNS servers to change automatically in the background. It was the systemd-resolved FallbackDNS setting. Disabled it in a config and now I can access all my custom DNS names.
