I bought a 2024 vehicle with OnStar, I wonder if the process is comparable… Could you share your source please?

Good to know. Thank you!

I ran into an issue where I changed nothing, and all of a sudden none of my SSL certs worked on top of most of the hosts were not working through the reverse proxy. I had not even changed ip addresses on any of them. I am not sure what was going on.

It was more of a “I didn’t want to troubleshoot” and gave up, so I shut down my servers.

Using SMS through signal defeats the purpose of signal…

The UI is fine, what more do you expect out of it? It has a list of chats, a menu button with menu options, like it’s a messaging app not a social media platform akin to discord or telegram.

Today I learned about Linkwarden, and I am so excited to check it out. Thank you!

NPM I did use, however it was ultimately the catalyst as to why I quit homelabbing. But when it did work, it was simple even for SSL cert renewal.

I will have to check out gitolite. Thank you!

Traefik or Caddy are the 2 I am bouncing back and forth between currently. I may spin up a nextcloud instance.

I still want to get familiarized with NixOS and the concepts behind it. Just haven’t taken the time.

I may have to check out BookStack. I dig the looks of it.

I appreciate that mentality though. When things break, if your understanding of your setup is there, it’s less to deal with.

I am forgoing the Portainer route this time. I am going to strictly use Docker Compose for my containers. I had too many issues with Portainer to consider using it.

For reverse proxy, I just need/want it for simple ip:port to sub.domain.lan type addresses locally. Anything I need outside of my home will be tunneled through wireguard.

I always quite liked Dozzle. It was handy, and has helped me comb through logs in the past.

I think Traefik is going to be what I investigate using. However the last time I tried, I was a little lost. I will have to comb over the documentation better this time.

That is good advice, and honestly never really occurred to me to set specific versions for containers.

I will likely dabble with Logseq.

I used NGINX Proxy Manager for a while, then had some issues that ultimately killed my homelab setup, so not sure that I want to go down that route again, or if I want to investigate Caddy, Traefik, or another.

I think I am going down the docker compose route. When I started using docker, I didn’t use compose, however, now I plan to. Though, Ansible has been on my list of things to learn, as well as nixOS.

Thank you for the suggestion. The fact that it’s FOSS wins my vote. I have been trying to go all open source where possible.

I think I need to utilize this strategy because I get lazy and don’t update external documentation.

I really should spend time familiarizing with maintaining a git repo. I’ll likely find one I can self host.

I have looked at Obsidian, it looks nice, but the closed source part is why I can’t personally use it. Though, from discussions I have seen Logseq be thrown out when talking about similar software.

The wiki idea is a good one. The way to handle that is to have the wiki backed up incrementally.

It was able to get an IP, and I was able to get smb access, but for some reason still won’t allow me to open a web browser and browse, or pull windows updates.

I may have to play around with what is allowed through UFW a bit yet.

Completely unrelated, but on my Wireguard/PiHole server I setup this weekend I did get a bit more familiarized with UFW and how that works a bit better. So with that fresh new experience for me I think I may have a few ideas on how to accomplish this.

And thank you again!

I will check again later tonight when I am back to my desktop.

Though I think another project I am going to do is instead of using a qcow2 image for my windows installation I am going to experiment with using a dedicated SSD for my windows installl to keep it out of my BTRFS snapshots, and hopefully have a bit better performance. As well as I might install my second GPU for GPU passthrough.

This interests me. I may have to check this one out specifically for my configuration files. And I will definitely go the self hosting route if I do this. Thank you!
