I’ve been fighting nextckoud over the last few days. I got it up and running, yay. But the. I could not get Nextcloud office or Onlyoffice to work at all.

I used the AIO docker install and followed all the instructions for setup behind cloudflare tunnels but I’m guessing it’s something to do with that, but I just don’t have the time or patience to spend hours trying to troubleshoot why I can install onlyoffice but it won’t allow me to create documents.

I may revisit in the future but the frustration levels are just too high atm.


It’s just the default font for the theme but I may look at changing it. I’m partial to Comic Sans… ;)


That would be awesome. Although I feel like it would be depressing opening a dashboard that showed 0, 0, 1 hour, bad etc… :)


I installed Dashy a couple of days ago and have got things pretty much how I want them I think. There is more off the bottom of the screen but this screen shot shows the main things I need. I've set the stats widgets to auto-collapse on load so they don't take up the entire screen, and I'm pulling those from Glances running on my ProxMox server. Really impressed with Dashy, and how easy it is to configure and customise.

I got Hue working, as I suspected it was a me issue (well a Hue Hub issue) rather than an HA issue :)


Home Assistant - am I missing something?
I decided to spin up Home Assistant on a VM on my server yesterday, and so far I'm not having much luck getting to to much that is actually useful. I'm wondering if it's me doing something wrong, but I can't see what that would be. I've signed up for the free trial of the cloud services which all seems to have gone fine, and I have a couple of integrations working (Roomba, printer ink levels, Sonos and a couple of others) but mostly everything else I've tried just doesn't want to play ball - Apple TV - won't pair - I press the pair button in HA but the ATV doesn't respond with a pairing code - Ring doorbell / cameras - these are found but won't display a live feed - Ring alarm - not recognised at all - Netatmo thermostat - widget displays but doesn't sync correctly with thermostat and if I try to adjust temp it sets the target temp to 137 degrees C - Hue lights - having issues but this one might be my hub not HA I was really hoping I could set up automations to, say, turn off my TV, turn off the lights, arm my house alarm - all with one press of a button but it looks like currently this isn't going to happen. Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong perhaps? Maybe I'm missing something obvious but it just seems like the integrations with these devices just isn't quite there? I'd really be interested in other people's experiences and whether they were able to solve these issues (if indeed they had them at all).

Cloudflare tunnels on a pi zero?
I use Cloudflare tunnels for most of my self hosted stuff and I wanted to point a subdomain at my piHole, but it seems that you can’t install the cloudflared software on a pi zero. Is there any way to get this working? It’s not a massive issue if not as I’m currently just pointing to my Pi-hole from my load balancer but it would be nice to have everything tunnelled.

Have a look in to Twingate, that should do exactly what you need.


FWIW I tried AdGuard as I liked the look of some of its features but it slowed my connection down massively - sites would take ages to load.

I may have done something wrong but I tried quite a few things but went back to PiHole as I’ve never had any issues with it.

YMMV


I haven’t had a Google router in a while so I don’t remember if it’s possible, but can you access the router settings via a browser using the router’s IP address (maybe something like 192.168.0.1)?


I know some people dislike NetworkChuck but this video should help you get things going.

I have things scattered around different machines (a hangover from my previous network configuration that was running off two separate routers) so I’d probably look to have everything on one machine.

Also I kind of rushed setting up my Dell server and I never really paid any attention to how it was set up for RAID. I also currently have everything running on separate VMs rather than in containers.

I may at some point copy the important stuff off my server and set it up from scratch.

I may also move from using a load balancer to manage incoming connections to doing it via Cloudflare Tunnels.

The thing is there’s always something to tinker with and I’ve learnt a lot building my little home lab. There’s always something new to play around with and learn.

Is my setup optimal? Hell no. Does it work? Yep. 🙂


Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me out with an issue I keep having with Kemp Loadmaster. I use Kemp to point various subdomains to different VMs and physical servers and for the most part, everything is working. In the attached image all the VS above the disabled one are working just fine. The issue is with 10.0.0.75:5100. However, if I try and add any additional VSs they just don't seem to work. Instead, they just point to the website hosted at my domain and the subdomain is ignored (so, if I navigate to the subdomain that points to 10.0.0.75:5100 instead I'm seeing the site hosted on 10.0.0.70). I've created the VS, created the relevant rules and as far as I can see everything is set up in a similar fashion to the working ones so I'm really at a loss. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening? I should add, the same thing was happening with the VS I was pointing at 10.0.0.72 so it's not just the machine on 10.0.0.75 that's the problem as far as I can see. I don't really want to move to using Cloudflare Tunnels for everything - I had that set up before and one day all my tunnels just stopped working so I'd like to get Kemp working correctly. Edit: As a temporary workaround I've set up TwinGate so I can access my SnippetBox instance when not on my local network which works fine, but I would very much like to get to the bottom of this Kemp issue
