some questions/ virt-manager/ proxmox/ debian in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

Install the proxmox iso directly on the hardware. Then setup a Debian without DE in a vm to run docker. Use Portainer to manage Docker containers.

Storage can then be assigned via Proxmox to the vm’s that need it.

Why and when should I use LVM? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 12 points 11 months ago

LVM is just a way more flexible partition table. It gives you the possibility to grow partitions at a later date. You probably not think you can do that with MBR or GPT too. Well yes, but only when the spare room is adjacent to the partition you want to grow. With LVM you can grow partitions even if the free space is somewhere else on the disk.

So you can grow any disk ‘partition’ at any time as long as you have some free space in the group.

Another advantage is that you can encrypt logical volumes easily. Usually that’s supported when you install the OS.

You can also stack LVM on top of a software RAID, so you can create a mdadm from a disk partition of several disks and create a VG on that with LVs to spilt it into pieces.

I usually use LVM on every server. There is no need not to and gives you options for the future.

Setup guide Proxmox, Opnsense, HA, OpenWRT in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, so it is not that hard then I guess. Install proxmox on the appliance, then install two vm’s, HA and pfsense. Deal with further segmentation of your lan and the bridge to the router in pfsense.

But if you ask me, drop the idea of vlans for appliances and keep it simple. Only make a guest network on WiFi, but using vlans is a pita, people want to stream to tv’s, use the app to control heating, etc. If you are concerned about appliances connecting to internet, just block internet access in OpenWRT or pfsense.

I’ve no idea what you are talking about

Yeah, and one day the Tesla owners wake up and will be faced with $1 per trip in their car too. Reminder me in 2 years please.

Way for non-technical users to upload to my server with resumability in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 15 points 1 year ago

There is NextCloud. It has the possibility to create an upload link where people can upload stuff. We use it daily to receive stuff from our customers.

If you need the resuming part, you would be better off giving them a NextCloud account and share a folder. Their NextCloud app will sync it in the background and resume automatically.

Looking for selfhosted app for managing and playing podcasts in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I settled on https://www.audiobookshelf.org Might be a bit confusing at first, but after setting it up, it does exactly what I want. Easy to listen to podcast on my iPhone, including setting speed & sleep timer and the server fetches the new episodes every day.

How terrible is double NAT? really? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’ll be fine. In the past stuff like ftp and sip could get confused by double nat, but not so much today. And stuff like opening a port from outside to the inside needs some planning through double nat.

We run it in the office for years now and it is totally fine. We are in a building with multiple companies sharing internet and we wanted our own network within, so we are using double nat (internet modem and our switch).

Netbox is ok, but I’m looking for something more visual.

Network overview / documentation in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, but I'm looking for something else. I know about draw.io, but it's just a drawing tool. I can use 10 different tools for that. I'm looking for something more advanced than that.

Network overview / documentation (lemmy.omat.nl)
 

I have been searching for while now for goed software to document my network setup. I would like to document my servers, containers, network flow, possibly als store some config files. Also would be nice if it has some auto discovery on my network.

As said, I’ve been through a lot, but never found the tool that I liked. Netbox is nice, but lacks a graphical base. Several tools are just drawing tools that lack auto discovery of the network and seem hard to maintain in the future and can not hold extra information. Same goes for some unl based stuff.

Does anyone have a good suggestion?

Help me choose my setup, please! in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] toma@lemmy.omat.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None. Just use everything in the VM’s. Yes that’s over committing, but who cares if the lead normally is reasonable and you can watch the ’summary’ in pm to see how the system is doing. Stop worrying, grab the proxmox iso and have fun

Hi,

I sometimes hear/read people putting their tv and other devices on a guest Wifi or even on a separate VLAN. Most guest WiFi's also have client isolation. I can understand that desire but I'm always wondering how that works in real life.

If you have a TV on a guest Wifi, how can you still cast things to it, as I assume your phone is on a different Wifi.

If you put your heating a different VLAN, how can you control the heating from your server that's on a different VLAN?

What's your setup in this regard. Is it worth to split? And what do you split and what not?

Network Routing Monitor (lemmy.omat.nl)
 

Sometimes the connection to my server in the cloud fails. 9 out of 10 times there is a problem with the routing, like a router in the datacenter that fails or a backbone temporary down.

When the connection fails, i often run a traceroute to see where the route fails. But the problem is that I have no reference to what it looked like before this problem started.

So, my question is, is there software that monitors the routes/hops to my cloud servers and remembers the different 'normal' routes that can occur.

If there is problem it would be nice if I can look at that software and it indicates where the problem is?

I prefer some docker image or at least a webbased interface, but any suggestion for such a tool is welcome.

Lemmy federation: missing properties field (lemmy.omat.nl)
 

Hi All,

I've setup my lemmy server and I can join communities at other servers without problems, but not for some servers. In the log I can see this error when searching for a community:

2023-06-25T22:19:06.276466Z ERROR HTTP request{http.method=GET http.scheme="https" http.host=lemmy.[snip].nl http.target=/api/v3/ws otel.kind="server" request_id=[snip] http.status_code=101 otel.status_code="OK"}: lemmy_server::api_routes_websocket: couldnt_find_object: error decoding response body: missing field 'properties' at line 1 column 148

What can I do to fix that? I'm running 0.17.4, installed with lemmy-Easy-Deploy and, as said, I can subscribe to communities on a couple different servers without problem.
