brownmustardminion,

I was under the impression you need a license to use remote access via idrac. Do you know if it also requires a second run of ethernet cable separate from the server NIC?

brownmustardminion,

Due to my understanding of it, I was hesitant to use AC recovery in the case that the power goes down more than once in a short period. It could drain the UPS to the point that it might not be able to sustain enough runtime for a proper shutdown. But I’m also a bit confused about the setup here. If the server is sent a signal to shutdown due to a grid outage, who is telling it the grid was restored? The server would always detect power because of the battery backup, so I don’t think AC Power Recovery would work in this case, no? I believe I have the UPS comm server (probably apcupsd) installed on the server itself, so there’s no way for it to know to wake up unless from an outside source.

Maybe you have some further incite into how to make that setup work properly.

I’m brainstorming here, but would it be possible/feasible to have the Unifi Dream Machine execute a script everytime it turns on telling the server idrac to power up. I’d have to see if the UDM has that ability as well. The UDM turning on would only really happen if power was restored from an outage. Otherwise I could send a command manually once I have access to the network.

brownmustardminion,

This would be great. I’ve got 3 r610s and a bunch of sliding rails I wouldn’t mind selling.

brownmustardminion,

Very true. Traefik is pretty awesome. Thanks for the input!

brownmustardminion,

Just downloaded and enjoying so far. Great work! It was a bit hard to search for but that will likely change once it has a bunch of downloads.

Privacy-preserving metadata downloaders to use in jellyfin

I am setting up my first jellyfin server via docker, and I am offered the option to either use TMDB or OMDB. I have jellyfin on a LAN-connected device w/o VPN connection, and I am concerned queries to those DBs with file names of torrented files can get tracked and reported to my ISP. Could that be the case? And if so what to do...

brownmustardminion,

Another alternative is run Jellyfin and all of your *arr apps as docker containers and run them through a docker container called gluetun. Essentially this will route all incoming traffic (tvdb, torrents, etc) through a vpn and all outgoing (sonarr, Jellyfin, etc web gui) can be accessed locally.

brownmustardminion,

I’ve had the IP for a couple of years so I can rule that out. The only thing different than usual is I recently added a backup server to the VPS network. I’ve been doing a remote backup from one server through the VPS to the backup server over the past week. It’s a 4TB backup averaging 4MBps.

My guess is that the VPS provider’s algorithm is bungling the bandwidth calculations, possibly refreshing the bandwidth amount incorrectly which to the black hole detector appears as a sudden spike in bandwidth rather than a steady flow.

I’m going to keep running the backup and compare how long after the backup starts that I get a black hole trigger. If it’s relatively consistent then that might be the problem.

brownmustardminion,

What steps can one take to vet a usb drive before using or formatting it on a secure system?

Is it enough to spin up a VM or do you need a separate bare metal just for sandboxing usb drives?

brownmustardminion,

Do NOT use enbrighten zigbee dimmers if you have LED lights. I installed a half dozen with Halo LED cans and they make the lights flicker at best and not dim at all at worst. And when I say flicker I mean like strobe light flickering. I had other dimmers installed before that were new but not smart and didn’t have any issues.

brownmustardminion,

I thought I had it locked in once and dropped the damn thing from 2ft. Luckily no damage.

brownmustardminion,

You can connect your main server and backup server to a VPS with wireguard. The main server backs up proxmox vms and cts to a proxmox backup server on the backup server. Nextcloud data can be backed up with something like duplicati encrypted over sftp to the backup server. Only hiccup about backing up Nextcloud is you should put it into maintenance mode first. You can write a script pre duplicati backup and post backup to enable and disable maintenance mode.

brownmustardminion,

What are you using for the dashboard?

[Question] Is SSH secure in this scenario?

Consider a wireguard network of many clients which all interact with each other through a central hub server on a cloud VPS. One of the clients is a desktop used for SSHing into the other various clients–again, through the central hub. If the “terminal” client connects to another client through the wireguard hub using SSH...

brownmustardminion,

Precisely. I made an edit earlier to clear that up.

brownmustardminion,

This approach seems like it will get me close to what I’m trying to achieve.

Which one of those do you suggest over the other? GPT4 suggests LibreElec might run better on lower spec hardware like the Pi.
