Idk if Wholphin will fully fit your needs, but that’s what I use on my FireTV and we love it. It looks sleek as hell and has sone plugins like Serr requests. Weirdly though, it takes longer to load an ep on there compared to my laptop or phone.

Checked my OPNSense Kea DHCPv4 setup, and it’s only running on my LAN/VLANs. WAN side is correctly disabled for both IPv4 and IPv6. Since it’s not advertising on the WAN uplink to my Cox modem/router, there shouldn’t be a collision right? Even then Internet access completely fails even when connected directly to the Cox LAN. Additionally, wouldn’t DHCP collision be a constant issue rather than sporadic? Is there something else I’m missing software wise?

Cable modem used to sit on the carpet in a corner of the room, now it’s on top of my Dell running Proxmox. So maybe heat? I’ll move it off the server.

Same orginal coax cable, and it doesn’t look loose, but I’ll check.

Are you using OPNSense to do the PPPoA / PPPoE connection through the ISP modem?

I’ll look into this, unsure rn. EDIT: Nope! No PPPoE setup, plus Cox doesn’t offer PPPoE anyway.

Keep a track of when this happens and what was happening at the time, that might help you to work out what’s going on. Only during the day? Also failing at night?

Seems to be mostly during the day, but kinda random hours during the day. It’s usually when I’m out and about and my mom who’s at home often will immediately know when it goes out. Since most of us are out at that time, it’d just be her watching YT and my arr going on in the background.

I don’t think it’s gone out at night before, and the one time she said it was out at night, my father and I were fine, so that could’ve just been device stuff.

And as someone else mentioned… have you disturbed the cables, etc… maybe one of the cheap cables is having problems?

No new cables to the modem, only to my OPNsense. But it is sitting on top of one of my servers rather than the carpet floor it used to be on. I’ll move it back to the floor. But the modem coax cable should be fine, I’ll check it.

The original Cox Wifi LAN has DHCP running, and then my own OPNsense LAN/VLANs have DHCP running. Would that cause overlaps despite two different network addresses on a /24? My OpenWrt AP used to do the DHCP until I changed it to OPNSense, but once again, this is all on OPNsense LAN side.

I’m not too worried about lack of tls/https for my websites rn, I just want to get working concept lol.

But thanks for the caddyfile, although I’m not sure I can use it since OPNsense seems to like to auto generate the config based on the settings in the UI.

I’ve narrowed down my issue a little more with the help of frongt@lemmy.zip, and I’ve established that:

Pinging immich.homelab.internal gets a response from the correct IP. When typing http://immich.homelab.internal/ or http://immich.homelab.internal:2283/ in browser I get an ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED page.

If I curl http://immich.homelab.internal/, I get: curl: (7) Failed to connect to immich.homelab.internal port 80 after 6 ms: Could not connect to server

If I curl http://immich.homelab.internal:2283/, I do get the html of the site at least.

Through some digging through other people’s forum posts, I made sure to turn off https redirects (auto_https disable_redirects).

I definitely know that it’s failing because Caddy isn’t redirecting my services from port 80 to their upstream port (2283, 8006, etc.), but I don’t know why it won’t redirect, even when looking at logs…

Sorry, I didn’t specify in my original post but I did plan to use .internal for my domains. And I never planned to open my ports on my firewall either so that’s good to know. But I’m still having issues despite this…

Here’s my Caddyfile:

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE -- OPNsense auto-generated file

# Reverse Proxy Configuration


immich.homelab.internal {
	handle {
		reverse_proxy 192.168.10.247:2283 {
		}
	}
}

import /usr/local/etc/caddy/caddy.d/*.conf

Here’s my firewall config (I allowed any source IP to Destination “This Firewall” & port 443/80 on my LAN/VLANs):

Here’s my Caddy configs:

And I did make a wildcard domain override (*.homelab.internal) in Unbound with this config:

Host = *
Domain = homelab.internal
Type = IPv4
IP = 192.168.10.247

I can ping my server’s IP, nslookup the homelab.internal domain, and ping homelab.internal. So the regular DNS entry is working, I just can’t get my reverse proxy to work…

Huh, just checked settings and I see that you can add SSIDs to a radio. Awesome, thanks!

But I think I have to add, that I use the openwrt machine just as dumb access point behind a opnsense box.

Ooh, can you go more into that? i have Opnsense as my router and this AP is just supposed to act as a WAP. I was struggling to figure out how to have it pull dhcp from the router and not to configure it on the WAP itself. That and DNS too, if the DNS isn’t configured on the interface then I get no internet access.

What hardware do you recommend?

Tbh I just picked something that was in their list of supported hardware that also operated with the Wifi bands I needed and had a good amount of Flash and RAM. Try to take the time to research what wifi drivers suck, such as Broadcomm. Mine is a Qualcomm, I got the Linksys MX5300 Velop Mesh, and now that I got my 3 wifi VLANs set it seems pretty nice. Haven’t gotten to use it much though so we’ll see, but I’m excited.

I do recommend checking how many radios it has because I was maybe considering having my Smart TV on it’s own VLAN but I don’t have enough radios for that. Maybe I’ll put it on the IoT VLAN.

Are there any that are smart enough for a SMB setting where the APs all scan other networks and then talk to each other and set their own channels and power levels to optimize WiFi traffic with minimal channel or power overlap?

Sorry, I don’t know anything about this 😅 You’d have to research this.

Misskey/Sharkey being similar to Pinterest??? Has Pinterest changed that much in about 4 years, cause that’s when I last used it (ads ad AI art chased me off)

Miss/Sharkey is more like Twitter but if it was pretty/customizable and with a pinch of overstimulation imo. The JP origins is what gives it the overstimulation (the reaction emotes, oh my god…)

I don’t really think any popular Fedi platform is similar to Pinterest tbh.

I think people should have to lurk and contribute a little before just advertising.

I don’t think we should promote closed-source apps on here at all, at least not in it’s own post. For exampke, many people here talk about Symfonium when mentioning their music client that they use to listen to their selfhosted music, and that app is not FOSS at all.

If an app is mostly open with some proprietary bits, then we can discuss. I’m perfectly fine with fully OSS apps that aren’t free, as the devs do deserve to be paid. As gnu.org states, Free means “Freedom” not “Free beer.” While I typically only use “free beer” type FOSS apps, I do occasionally donate to ones I love/use often, but we know that devs struggle to keep their projects afloat.

Holy shit I almost thought I posted a comment and then somehow forgot about it. Are you me?

Ok well, I don’t really listen on TV nor do I have a music assistant, but I do have Jelly on my TV for my family.

But I LOVE Feishin so much, it’s absolutely gorgeous.

I did do a scrub in the past when I had an issue with accidentally pulling the bay power cord a few months ago, but I genuinely forgot to run these weekly. I have no idea what trimming is…

I just went to ebay and goodwill for my tech stuff. Goodwill is a tad annoying though cause their online shop is literally only bids, so have fun watching the price shot up in the last few days.

Yeah, I got 4 used 2TB hard drives on Amazon back in early 2024 with a $100 gift card and still had a few bucks left over, and now I see that you basically can’t find a single 2TB drive lower than $70…

I wish I started my homelab sooner…

What I want to do is set up an Arrstack, and I know I need to put Docker and maybe Portainer? I have no experience with Docker though.

I used DockSTARTer and TraSH Guides to set up a docker instance running the arr stack in a Debian VM. I still should take the time to learn more about it though.

I also want to put some basic things I and others can access remotely like a shopping list program, photo backups, period tracker, and DnD software. But I’m very afraid of exposing the server to the internet and it being hacked or such. I know there’s something called Tailscale but I’m not sure if that’s what I need.

As of now, it’s pretty much just me accessing my services, but I did use Netbird (similar to Tailscale) to make a VPN to my home network for my friends to access my minecraft server. My setup is jank though, a shared account for all my friends while I have my own. I definitely need to just use another method to host stuff so no account login sharing is being done.

I picked Tailscale to avoid major provider login (Google) and I plan to selfhost it one day…

Oh, I totally understand the software side would be different due to running different firmware, and yeah I wasn’t expecting to be able to use the vendor management systems. I was more worried abiut the hardware, but you cleared that up a bit :)

I’ve never heard of OpenWISP, but I’ll keep it in mind if I’ve ever got a bunch of devices I need to manage!

I still don’t truly know how to use docker, as I use dockSTARTer on my Debian VM on Proxmox, but it runns all my services now. I tried to resist and have multiple LXCs run everything, but as my homelab grew more complex (SMB & NFS, VPN tunnels, filesharing/hardlinks, etc.) I’ve just given up and have most things running on the docker. With dockstarter it’s enter “yes” to some terminal qs, copypaste templates into your overrides folder, and then use ds -u for update and ds -c to run everything.

I tried to use podman at first because people said it was safer and faster but… I literally couldn’t figure out how to turn a pod into a service so it will autostart on system launch 😅

Okay, how do you get sanoid & syncoid to run, because I’ve tried, and I’m just too dummy. When it makes a backup, is it literally making a zfs data record/pool/whatever on the other machine? Or is it more like a file? I have a Proxmox running cockpit (SMB & NFS) and the machine is connected to a USB drive bay that has ZFS. My immich is saving pictures to my ZFS drive bay via SMB.

I’ve tried to do

syncoid pool_name/data/immich root@cockpit.service.IP.addr:mnt/samba/backups

but I get hit with:

WARNING: ZFS resume feature not available on target machine - sync will continue without resume support.

I’ve tried reading the github docs and some forums but I’m dummy. I just want to have backups that I can encrypt and keep in a cloud for cheap somewhere. Does it literally have to be two different machines (god I’m dumb)? Can I just auto run ZFS snapshots and encrypt then save those to Drive/OneDrive/Whoever?
