I am not sure if there is a good way to do it without scripting, and a router that would allow for taking variable input from an external script. But theoretically if the router would support it, you could script a port change at times there are no one on the server.

Essentially the server port is in a text file, you could use some command line utilities, and write a script leveraging something like sed to change the port in place.

But I am overcomplicating it. lol

I tried using Bazzite since I didn't want to fuss with Wayland on Nvidia with Arch.

I had more gripes and more issues with an immutable distro than I ever did with my Arch install.

Stuck it out with Arch. It has taught me a lot.

The problem many folks have with Arch is the fact they don't want to read or learn; well, newsflash, if you read and learn Arch isn't exactly all that hard to use, setup, or maintain. It has better documentation than Bazzite and other newer distros. In fact, Arch Wiki has saved me hassle for other distros.

Your mileage may vary. However, I wouldn't recommend an immutable distribution nec3ssarily to someone coming from Windows unless they want to shift from one paradigm to another.

Switching from Windows to something with such a vastly different approach in many cases will turn users away from using Linux. Their experience can dictate they switch away because of lack of knowledge and then proced to conflate every distro as just one "Linux" experience and not want to look back at it.

I still stand by one thing you will always hear me say: use the right tool for the job.

There are very few games I have I can't play on Linux.

Cant get the Crysis Remastered trilogy (epic games variants) working. Can't get Alan Wake Remastered working above 16fps. And a few more, but guess I don't need to play them.

You didn't calm down in your old age? Go shake your cane at some clouds in a different yard gramps.

Take a breather, walk away from the internet. Touch some grass. Go do something productive with your time instead of being an insignificant sad angry little person.

Have the day you deserve

Your comment is more useless than the meme comment you were responding to.

Don't like something, scroll on.

Are you being pissy just to be pissy?

[-] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

I will always recommend people to research their choice of distro. Use the right tool for the job.

What one person needs may differ from what another person needs. Take into account what the use case is for the machine you are using.

I use Arch BTW but I don't run Arch for any of my servers. I use Arch where it makes sense for me.

I wouldn't tell someone switching from Windows to just go balls to the wall and go for something blerding edge and arguably more maintenance or manual intervention needed.

I will give my suggestions but always implore them to research what theyt3 looking for.

Guess I won't be playing Playstation games.

[-] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I haven't gotten around to setting it up yet, but for a google photos type self hosted setup there is Immich which looks promising!

[-] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

I want to self host more, but power draw is a concern.

So I have gone the route of running to Pi 4 8gb models as my hosts of choice.

So far I am hosting:

Non-Docker:

  • PiHole
  • Unbound
  • Wireguard (and Wireguard-UI)

Docker:

  • ForgeJo
  • Dozzle
  • Homarr
  • LinkWarden
  • Traefik
  • Watchtower

There are a few other services I want to get up, but I haven't gotten around to it:

  • Jellyfin
  • Immich
  • Nextcloud

As to why:

  • ForgeJo to host my own git repositories (Docker Compose files, Chezmoi dot files, Miscellaneous configs)
  • PiHole for ad blocking
  • Unbound, well, having my own DNS
  • Wireguard so I can connect to my home network
  • Dozzle for easy log checking for my docker containers
  • Linkwaren so I can backup bookmarks in a privacy friendly way
  • Homarr for easy access to other web services I host
  • Traefik so I can resolve IP:port to a hostname with SSL certificates even though everything I host is internal only
  • Watchtower to update my Docker containers
[-] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I will likely have to do some tinkering, and more reading up on this from the documentation I am thinking. I am getting HTTP 200 statuses basically across the board. When going to the FQDN it doesn't redirect to the PiHole admin page like I was expecting. Again, likely some configuration that I have wrong.

[-] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Begrudgingly 2 of the 3 are Google email addresses, and 1 is a Microsoft email address. I will however be ditching both of those providers for something a bit more privacy focused soon and making those addresses burner addresses.

Hello Selfhosted peeps!

So I just got Traefik v3 setup inside my docker environment, and successfully got SSL certs for my services hosted within docker. However, I have an external device hosting PiHole and Wireguard-UI. I am looking to use the docker instance of Traefik v3 to obtain SSL certs for the internal use only for PiHole and Wireguard-UI.

I am still new to Traefik, and have no idea if this is possible, or how I would go about doing this.

Any tips, suggestions, links to documentation; I am all ears.

These 2 resources I utilized to help further my understanding.

Thank you

Hi all!

So I want to get back into self hosting, but every time I have stopped is because I have lack of documentation to fix things that break. So I pose a question, how do you all go about keeping your setup documented? What programs do you use?

I have leaning towards open source software, so things like OneNote, or anything Microsoft are out of the question.


Edit: I didn't want to add another post and annoy people, but had another inquiry:

What ReverseProxy do you use? I plan to run a bunch of services from docker, and would like to be able to reserve an IP:Port to something like service.mylocaldomain.lan

I already have Unbound setup on my PiHole, so I have the ability to set DNS records internally.

Bonus points if whatever ReverseProxy setup can accomplish SSL cert automation.

I am having issues with Mangohud and Goverlay.

Upon opening Goverlay it gives a black box and has issues closing without forcing it shutdown.

https://ibb.co/pnzKZdd

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.9.5-zen1-1-zen DE: KDE Plasma 6.0.5 WM: KWin (Wayland) CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700KF (20) @ 5.00 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 [Discrete] Memory: 4.09 GiB / 62.60 GiB (7%)

I have tried uninstalling both Goverlay and Mangohud

I have also removed .conf files from: ~/.config/MangoHud /usr/share/doc/mangohud

Is there more that I need to do to clean uninstall and reinstall?

Any help would be appreciated

Hide LSPosed (lemm.ee)

Will Zygisk + PIF + Shsmiko hide LSPosed?

Currently I am passing safetynet/integrity checks with root on LineageOS 21, if I install Pixel Xpert and LSPosed_mod will I nerd any thing else to continue to pass the checks?

I used to use Hide My App List to help hide root/LSPosed. Is this still necessary?

Hello everyone!

A lot has happened since my last post, specifically talking about my LineageOS inquiries. I had a string of bad luck and broke the digitizer but no cracks to my Pixel 7 Pro.

So I ended up "upgrading" to the Pixel 8 Pro because the store I went to only had the 8 Pro and not the 7 Pro in stock and it was dire that I have a phone.

So this leads me to my next questions:

What is your favorite Android spin for your Pixel Device?


I have used GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and Stock Android (of various versions on my Pro 7)

This leads me down the rabbit hole of deciding which experience I want on my Pixel 8 Pro.


I have GrapheneOS on my 8 Pro right now because I wanted to see if I could make it fit my needs, and I am leaning towards it not working for me. Since I switched, android auto is not connecting even following the instructions GrapheneOS has to offer.

AdAway (nonroot) is not working on GrapheneOS, as it just kills any internet connection to everything on GrapheneOS. So that's another point against me wanting to stick with GrapheneOS.

No AFwall+. Another point against it.


It appears that CalyxOS is going to give me a similar experience with issues related to the ones I mentioned with GrapheneOS.

--

I had considered trying out LineageOS for microG but unsure if this is the route I want to go because I am unsure if some of the apps I will rely on will work for various reasons. (Mainly unsure if MicroG will suffice for them.)


I am open to other options to, and would love to hear what you are using!


Thank you!

Hello! Longtime Android user here.

I am currently using LineageOS 21 on my Pixel 7 Pro, however after rooting and running a few Magisk modules I have been having issues with overheating.

So what I planned to do is build LineageOS myself, and use a custom kernel.

One of these:


Some follow up questions:

  • Will this break using banking apps because of custom kernel? (even with Chiteroman's PIF, Zygisk, and Shamiko?)

  • However, I am unsure if I build LineageOS 21 with one of these custom kernels if I will be required to build each update with the custom kernel, or if the updater would update my build.


I am open to suggestions on how to solve my thermal issues if anyone has any.

Thank you!

As the title states, I have used Nova launcher for years. As it is the most feature rich, most customizable launcher that supports basically everything I could need from it. However I am looking to switch away from it.

What launchers are you all using?

I have tried a handful of them and none quite fit the bill. And one feature nova has but no other launcher seems to is invaluable to me; that feature being able to swipe up or down on an app on the home screen to launch another app or task. It's how I keep my main page from being cluttered.

I have tried Neo Launcher which I love, but it doesn't seem to be updated anymore.

I have also tried:

So the only option I am feeling is gonna work is Nova but I am trying to ditch as many closed source, data thieving apps and services as possible.

I could however just use AFWall+ to block internet connection.

Any suggestions?

So, I am making the switch to using Arch full time instead of Windows.

Here is the rundown:

I have windows installed on one NVME and installed Arch on another NVME. After installing Arch on the one drive, and rebooting Arch hung at loading initial ramdisk. It never completed, I force shutdown my PC.

I went back into bios, and there wasn't an entry for my Arch drive whatsoever.

In fact, before this happened I had all bootable drives go missing from within my bios.

So, after the reboot, I left the boot options default, and it did in fact boot to windows.


Other potentially important details:

I used archinstall rather than walking through manually.

UEFI

Secureboot off

GRUB bootloader

Unified Kernel Images on

Luks encrypted BTRFS partitions

Audio Pipewire

Kernels: Linux and Linux-Zen

Network Manager

Hardware:

CPU: i7-12700KF

Motherboard: TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4

GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3

RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 16GB (x4)

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 GT 1000W

Drives: 1tb WD Black SN750 (Drive intended for Arch to be installed on)

1tb Samsung 980 Pro (Drive windows is installed on)

2tb Samsung 980 Pro (separate data drive)


Should I remove my windows drive while installing Arch on another drive?

Rather, what would be the best approach to this?

Could anyone provide any help regarding this?

2024 will be the year I finally be the year I ditch windows.

I am not exactly new to linux, yet I am far from an expert. I made my journey over the years form trying Ubuntu (many many major revisions ago) and have found myself down the rabbit hole of going Arch. I run Arch with KDE on my laptop. I want to fully ditch Windows on my desktop, however I feel this will be a much bigger hurdle to overcome.

Build Specs: i7-12700KF Copper Modded EVGA RTX 3090 64gb of 3600mhz DDR4 ASUS Tuf Z690 Wifi D4

I could go into more detail about my specs, but the specs aren't what has made this journey a bit tougher. I use a Line 6 Helix and a Line 6 PowerCab 112+ and both have usb connections to my computer for integration with, you guessed it; windows or mac software only. Now I don't have a problem running wine, and a number of other solutions to run windows programs, I do however have a gap in knowledge in order to try to use these specific programs with specific USB peripherals.

Now, I am not sure if this is the best way, but I had heard the idea of USB passthrough. And I have no clue where to begin with that. Would this be the direction I should be going for programs such as those?

The only other software that I am going to struggle replacing is the RGB lighting software for all of my hardware. Most of it is corsair (Fans, RAM, Water Cooler, and plugins for the asus motherboard.) And my Steeleseries keyboard which uses GG.

I have looked into using OpenRGB but I was unable to figure out how to get those setup as it wasn't as plug and play as the manufacturer software, but understandably of course.

The absolute biggest hurdles is my Nvidia problem. I have always had issues with Nvidia on Arch. I would gladly take an suggestion. For reference, I would be using this mainly for my gaming. I occasionally dabble in Stable Diffusion.

I will be running Arch with KDE preferably, but every single time I have had issues.


I suppose any feedback anyone may have would be helpful.


Checklist of things I need to get working on in Arch, any help would be welcomed:

  • Helix Guitar pedal and PowerCab 112+ (USB Passthrough or any other alternatives people may suggest)
  • RGB for SteeleSeries Apex Pro (GG software on windows, open to alternatives)
  • RGB for Corsair (iQue on windows, open to alternatives)
  • Nvidia Drivers
