what does not work:

• i can not ping server.local (- for testing i have to stop the systemd-resolved.service to run the dnsmasq server, or else there are port collisions, but that should not be the problem i guess. I am happy to hear your solution :))
• i can also not use ssh to log in to server.local, ip address works

Have you added “server.local” as a DNS record in your dnsmasq container, pointing to your servers LAN IP? Sounds like dnsmasq isn’t resolving that name, which would lead to both of these ‘failures’.

Oh damn, I hadn’t noticed. My setup is still functioning just fine.

There is an alternative though: Orbital-Sync

I haven’t actually used it, so I can’t say much about it; but I’ll probably look into replacing gravity-sync with that.

https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/

I use this to translate DNS to DoH, and use cloudflare, and quad9 upstream.

environment:
  - TUNNEL_DNS_UPSTREAM=https://1.1.1.1/dns-query,https://1.0.0.1/dns-query,https://9.9.9.9/dns-query,https://149.112.112.9/dns-query

Haven’t really noticed any DNS based lag.

Why not both?

My primary DNS is pihole on a rpi dedicated to the task; but I run a second instance of pihole via my main docker stack for redundancy. Should one or the other be unavailable, there’s a second one to pick up the slack.

I just provide both DNS IPs to LAN clients via DHCP.

Gravity Sync is a great tool to keep both piholes settings/records/lists in sync.

Same, though I’m using acme.sh and DNS-01. (had to go look at the script that triggers it to remember, lol)

I check the log file my update script writes every few months just to be sure nothings screwy, but I’ve had 0 issues in 7 years of using LE now.

A paid cert isn’t worth it.

I work warehousing; no IT background, I just like to tinker with whatever. Have since I started breathing.

I was a fairly casual pirate, grabbing movies/shows I couldn’t find elsewhere (or just couldn’t afford). Got into Plex/Emby for my first real exploration into self-hosting (if you don’t count SRCDS and/or Minecraft Server at like 13yo); and expanded my knowledge from there. Reverse Proxys, the ‘arrs’, DNS, Docker, VPNs, etc.

Now a days, I’ve got 20+ services that I mostly access via a VPN I host, and I’m always interested in messing with new things :)

Glad I could help :)

At least this post wasn’t a total waste…

Sigh. Spend an hour looking for a solution, fall back to a post asking for help, find the solution 5min later…

For anyone else searching in the future:

From paperless-ngxs settings page (logged in as an admin)

Select what you’d like, then delete.

Running the media streaming software on a separate machine is a good idea IF you need transcoding; ie, you need/want to translate the files into another format or a lower quality (for poor remote connections) on-the-fly before serving them to users.

If your clients can play the files just fine as-is, another machine doesn’t really add anything except complexity.

I found my works wifi blocks most ports outbound, but switching my my vpn to a more ‘standard’ port like 80, 443, 22, etc gets through just fine.

Now I’ve got a couple port forwarding rules I can switch on, as needed, that take one of those and route it to my vpn host.

Yeah, 2.5+ years since the last release?

Somehow I don’t think this has survived youtubes client war…

Bit of a different solution:

If Paperless-NGX is one of the things you self-host; it has options to import emails based on your specified criteria, then you could have it delete each piece of mail it imports. You can also just have it move mail to folders on the mail server, or just tag/flag mail instead of deleting it. (for you to then manually delete at your leisure)

I use this to automatically import receipts, bills, work documents, and any other regular mail instead of dealing with it manually every week/month.

Yeah “dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=$HOSTNAME.$(date +%Y.%m.%d).img” and while its running. (!!! Make sure the output is NOT going to the sd card you are backing up…)

I deliberately chose a time when it’s not very active to perform the backup. Never had an issue, going on 6 years now.

I used to wonder why porn sites aren’t required to use ‘.cum’ instead of ‘.com’…

I’ve always used dd + sshfs to backup the entire sd card daily at midnight to an ssh server; retaining 2 weeks of backups.

Should the card die, I’ve just gotta write the last backup to a new card and pop it in. If that one’s not good, I’ve got 13 others I can try.

I’ve only had to use it once and that went smoothly. I’ve tested half a dozen backups though and no issues there either.

Yeah… Becoming a public-facing file host for others to use seem rather irresponsible.

If/when a user’s given a means of uploading files to my server, there’s no method/permissions for them to share those files with others; it’s really just for them to send files to me. (Filebrowser is pretty good for that)

That and almost nothing is public access; auth or gtfo.

Did… Did you just ask; why creating photo-realistic sexually explicit material of real children, should be illegal?

As far as I understand; it’s not the tools used that makes this illegal, but the realism/accuracy of the final product regardless of how it was produced.

If you were to have a high proficiency with manual Photoshop and produced similar quality fakes, you’d be committing the same crime(s)

creating child sex abuse images

and

offenses against their victims’ moral integrity

The thing is, AI tools are becoming more and more accessible to teens. Time, effort, and skill are no longer roadblocks to creating these images; which leaves very very little in an irresponsible teenagers way…
