I’m a little lost on how a container would mess with your boot loader (GRUB). That aside, most of what you’re explaining to do with the containers. These are OS-agnostic. What do the container logs tell you?

This is really more of a home networking issue than anything having to do with self-hosting, especially since it centers on a consumer router. Please consider posting this in one of the many Lemmy home networking communities.

Building My Home Server | Kev Quirk ( kevquirk.com )

I came across this blog today while searching and I'm finding it very detailed, human, and instructive. For a beginner like me, this kind of resource is invaluable. What does a server failure feel like at a personal level? How do you make decisions about cost or utilizing existing hardware? These kind of thoughtful reflections...

I’m going to allow this post, despite its age and likely obsolescence. I encourage community members to use up and down votes to judge its value to the community.

Proxmox is Debian at its core, which is supported by Docker. There’s no good reason to not run Docker on the bare metal in a homelab. I’d be curious to know what statement Proxmox has made about supporting Docker. I’ve found nothing.

HybridSarcasm Mod ,
@HybridSarcasm@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not a definitive support statement about Docker being unsupported. In fact, even in the Admin Guide, it only provides recommendations. The comment I replied said Docker is unsupported by Proxmox. I maintain that there is no such statement from Proxmox.

I am with you on the advantages of running it in a VM. The isolation a VM provides is really nice. Snapshots FTW.

Quick and easy fix attempt would be to replace the HDD with an SSD. As others have said, the drive may just be failing. Replacing with an SSD would not only get rid of the suspect hardware, but would be an upgrade to boot. You can clone the drive, or just start fresh with the backups you have.

Check the ZFS pool status. You could lots of errors that ZFS is correcting.

self-hosted doesn't have to mean 'hosted at home'

If you really want to serve the self-hosting community, please improve your documentation. As someone unfamiliar with this product, I have no idea what to do with this once I clone the repo. I hunted and found a compose.yaml file, but it's not clear if this is all I need.

Per rule #3, this seems to be a general home computing question and not centered around self-hosting. Please consider adding details to clarify how this involves self-hosting.

Add another DNS server (1.1.1.1, for instance) to your DHCP options. Your DHCP clients will use 1.1.1.1 when the pi-hole isn’t responsive.

HybridSarcasm Mod , (edited )
@HybridSarcasm@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, your experience will be different if your DNS is being provided by another kind of DNS resolver. If you want a consistent pi-hole experience (and you can’t avoid downtime of your current pi-hole), add another pi-hole to your network and let that be your secondary DNS resolver.

@HybridSarcasm@lemmy.world avatar

Except when the ONLY pi-hole is down, which was the original OP’s whole question.

Feedback on Network Design and Proxmox VM Isolation ( feddit.de )

Network design. I started my homelab / selfhost journey about a year ago. Network design was the topic that scared me most. To challenge myself, and to learn about it, I bought myself a decent firewall box with 4 x 2.5G NICs. I installed OPNsense on it, following various guides. I setup my 3 LAN ports as a network bridge to...

VLANs all the way. I have several VLANs, including:

  • Virtual Servers
  • Bare metal
  • Trusted devices
  • IoT devices
  • Guest network
    etc.

EDIT:
An alternative would be to replace or supplement Proxmox with Docker/Podman on the bare metal of the server. The container networking would be isolated by default. If you can replace your VM needs with containers, that may get you what you want.

When you mention Postgres, are you saying PG specifically is better, or are you implying that the default SQLite db is what really slows things down? I ask because I’m on mariadb with no complaints, but might switch if NC is faster on Postgres.

Locking the thread. Information relevant to self-hosters has already been shared. Too many reports of off-topic comments to leave this open.

Add “-vvv” to your mount command and see what else it tells you.

    Based on the vaultwarden wiki, the default DB engine is SQLite. Therefore, all the data is in the sqlite file(s) contained in your data volume. This backup utility seems to take that into account and only focuses on the data volume.

    Seriously? Do we have to create a “no posts about what’s happening on Reddit” rule?

    PFSense: Can't ping physical devices on network, but can ping virutal machines? ( lemmy.world )

    So, I am running ProxMox with PFSense virtualized on it, and I am having some issues with SSH and Ping access between my physical machines and the rest of the network. The two computers are running into an unmanaged switch before then connecting to the NIC port that is set as the LAN interface....

    pfSense comes with a fairly closed default firewall. You’ve done a decent job of describing the physical configuration of the network. What is the logical configuration? What VLAN(s) have you set up? In the firewall page, what tabs/headings are there? At minimum, you should see “Floating”, “WAN”, and “LAN”.

    Also, please include the networking config for Proxmox and the pfSense VM. You can grab those details from the Proxmox GUI.

    Couple of things:

    First, the subnet router for your wireless network is not 192.168.1.1. Given that the subnet mask is /24 and the subnet is 192.168.86.0, I’d guess that the subnet router for the wireless network is 192.168.86.1. Of course, you’ll need to verify that within your OpnSense configuration.

    Second, by creating the two networks on OpnSense, each one likely already has a ‘default route’. On a Linux command line, the would be a destination of 0.0.0.0 with a gateway of 192.168.x.1. This means anything not meant for the local subnet (192.168.x.0) will gets passed to the subnet router.

    Third, the firewall on the OpnSense router has to allow the traffic between subnets. This is likely your sticking point. You’ll need to visit the firewall admin area of OpnSense and configure each subnet to be able to pass traffic to/from the other. I’m a pfSense user, so I don’t know the exact steps in OpnSense. But these general steps should still apply.

    Would a sysadmin really be looking to move away from a Red Hat certification track just because RH behaved like a for-profit corporation? I think it’s naive to assume this will have much of an impact on the reputation and desirability of an RH cert in the business world.

    But, I suppose if you just want to avoid giving RH your testing money, then the Linux Foundation certs would be fine.

    The moderator team will take this as a learning opportunity. We don’t have any rules for this community specific to rudeness or insults. This post was fine as an opinion piece until Edit 2. For this reason, I’m locking the post. Additionally, we’ll be updated the community rules on the Sidebar shortly.

    Who / why puts a downvote on almost each new post on r/selfhosted?

    I haven’t really posted a lot to r/selfhosted (or Reddit in general), but whenever I did, there was always someone who voted my post down in less than 30 minutes after it was posted. Maybe because of this (maybe because they were actually perceived as low quality posts), these posts never received a lot of engagement with...

    At this point, Reddit should be considered an informational reference only. Most, if not all, of us have removed Reddit from our daily lives. Therefore, don’t worry about the upvotes/downvotes over there because they matter less than they ever did before. If you need an answer to a question, use their search functionality.

    Alternatives to PhotoPrism ( kbin.social )

    Are there any full featured alternatives to PhotoPrism? I'd be happy to support their devs but charging almost $80 a year for basic features like having more than one user is kind of absurd. At that cost I'd rather just pay for the extra dirt cheap storage from Google and keep things there....

    HybridSarcasm Mod ,
    @HybridSarcasm@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m curious: what’s the use case for multiple users? Seems like PhotoPrism is a fancy photo gallery. Not sure how multiple users is needed for that.

    What are the other basic features that aren’t available for free?
