Hi, I finally set up tailscale on my raspbery pi, in exit node mode so I have access to my whole network. I also set AdGuard an the very same pi with dhcp. I finally bought home assistant voice device, didn't arrive yet, but cant wait to experiment with it.
I still have to setup Authelia for sso, I want to setup a device on my network as a (proton) vpn gateway (zero knowledge right now) and then I want to start learning about pfsense to properly segment my network (into subnets) and have more control.
Been spending some time with podman, but ran into some issues with denied access on a bind mount. Messed around with acl for 30 minutes or so until I realized selinux is a thing.
So, now I'm learning selinux. I'm a long time ubuntu guy, but just now adding Rocky to my setup.
Immich is UP and even my wife likes it, now I'm slowly adding her 100gb library to immich. Kinda fun going through all those old pictures.
Proxmox Backup Server is DOWN. I've got a synology that boots at 11pm for my backup to use it as NFS share, but PBS won't auto mount that darn NFS. Works fine with PVE backup.

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.
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.
How the hell do you get Wger working on http only? I always get the CSRF error even after trying their recommendations
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.
