iirc, they removed port forwarding because people were hosting CSAM and Mullvad lost some location/internet providers business.

For the services already hosted by the VPS, I just point service.web.site to the appropriate localhost:port.

My hiccup is that the VPN software (pivpn) gives me an internal IP for the clients but pointing Nginx to that IP doesn't work.

Network config confuses the hell out of me.

haha same 🥲

which IP are you trying to obfuscate with a VPN?

My goal was to hide my home IP by routing everything through the VPS. The VPN is hosted on the VPS.

Why don't you just host your public services on the VPS, and whatever else private on your home equipment.

The VPS is 1 core and 35 GB of storage. I host several websites and some game serves on my home server.

The goal is to route the services through the VPN and point Nginx to them... but it doesn't work.

The VPN is hosted on the VPS, which I rent and have full control of. It's my own VPN between my devices.

The intent is to put my VPS between my services and the outside world so that it doesn't expose my home IP.

I think you got it reversed. I want the container traffic to go through the VPN to the VPS and I want the reverse proxy on the VPS to point to that container.

I want the website (hosted at my house) to be accessible through the VPS so my IP isn't directly exposed.

Nginx was already set up and working before. I have some sites hosted directly on the VPS as well.

I'm just not sure how to make a http request go to a VPN client

 

I have a few things that I host from my house. I have read that it's better practice to route stuff through a VPS to not expose your home IP.

Here's what I've done so far: VPN setup on VPS with successful routing of containers. Confirmed by using a CLI IP check within the container which returned the VPS IP. I used PiVPN because I know it and it's easy to set up.

Where I got stuck: I pointed Nginx to the supposed IP:port of the connection, but couldn't get it to load.

What should I do next?

I'm using 4 refurbished drives in my server. My first one is showing early signs of failing after three years of being my main torrenting/plex drive.

The other three are new (to me) and are an upgrade from the failing one.

I'd say if the prices are decent, and it includes a year warranty, it doesn't sound like a bad deal. Just make sure to back it up.

 

I'm in the market for a TV and I already use a HTPC as the main device. I am curious about the Sceptre TVs.

How is the image quality? Any input lag?

 

I've made sliders about 4 or 5 times in the past couple months and they've gotten really good. I use Gibsons seasoning salt, a higher protein beef (88/12 was the last one), white onions, and Hawaiian rolls. Add whatever cheese we have at the time.

I brought one to my neighbor and he suggested horseradish sauce, which was absolutely stellar.

My kids, my wife, and my neighbors all say they're amazing.

 

As the title says...

Is this a risky thing?

EDIT: I have a wireguard VPN set up for myself and it's always on so I can access *arrs and the like. I would like to expose immich on my domain to share photo albums and such.

I just switched from Windows 10 to Bazzite with KDE 6. I have experience with linux before, but not as a main OS. I have a Logitech Performance MX. I used SetPoint on Windows to fine-tune things.

For some reason, my scroll wheel acts differently in almost every program. Firefox is the only one that feels normal. My scroll wheel clicks as I scroll, and in Windows that would do 3 lines up or down.

Nothing except Firefox follows the clicking, so all my scrolling is super fine-grained as if I were scrolling with a trachpad. I tried Solaar and that gave me an option to turn off smooth scrolling, but now I need to scroll 6 or more times to see any movement. Increasing sensitivity in KDE just means after 6 times of nothing, the next one is a huge leap. There's no middle ground it seems and I'm losing my mind trying to fix this.

Is there anything else I can do?

 

I have a couple things set up:

The configuration:

  • DNS points to my IP
  • Nginx configured to point to Authentik for the metube subdomain
  • Authentik configured to point to the correct containers after authenticating

What I'm experiencing:
Upon initial login to Authentik, MeTube works correctly. Restarting or closing the browser causes MeTube to fail to connect to the server until I clear cookies and re-authenticate (see picture). Accessing MeTube by its port on the host IP works fine. All other services connect fine.

Does anyone know what is causing this?

Related note - I've seen MeTube do this before when the container wasn't even running. I think it has something to do with how much info the container caches in the browser or something.

 

Setup:

Debian running podman. Containers and compose files are managed with Dockge. qBit and Gluetun are on a single compose file and all qBit traffic is routed through Gluetun.

qBit seems to starts first before Gluetun is fully set up and qBit doesn't see the open port. Every time I start them together, I have to manually restart qBit again once Gluetun is ready. Once it's restarted, it shows as open and connected again.

I tried looking for ways to delay startup in a compose file but I didn't get any results.

Is there a solution to this?

I've got a portable monitor that only takes one single USB-C input. The Pi 4 can't deliver enough power to keep it on. The monitor power cycles endlessly when plugged into the pi.

Is there a way I could give it more power somehow?

 

I'm planning out my next homelab when I move soon. I have the floor plans and it looks like the best place for my computer is not centrally located, so the Wi-Fi won't be ideal. I'd like to run the cables a short distance so the router would be in a better spot.

I'm just renting and will likely only be here for a year so I don't want to do any drilling. I just want to secure the cables somehow to the crease where the wall and ceiling meet.

The total length will only be about 20 feet to the router.
