You gotta TAWK TUAH to get to know 'er.

When I get tired of trends I take it as signal to get off social media for a bit. Lemmy’ll still be here when I get back, I scroll too much as it is.

Cheers

My unbound is on v1.13.1 (Raspbian) after update/upgrade. I’ve read it lags behind the main release by alot, should I trust the process that everything is fine.

Ah, I knew it was bypassing the pi-hole, I thought it was IPv6. I think I made the mistake of changing more than one thing at once, what I did worked and I moved on to the next functionality I was chasing. I’ll try enabling IPv6 on the pihole, I know at least if I get Ads with it on its not IPv6.

You have cleared up a lot of misconceptions for me, I have not been port forwarding, I have not learned how yet. I think I’m good. I don’t mind breaking functional stuff, and have a lot already, but I really don’t want to explain to my fiancée that the reason someone is in her bank is because I wanted to watch Samurai Jack.

I have been keeping it as insular as possible for this reason, and the next thing I intent to learn is to make it more insular by putting the pi on a subnet of its own. Actually, thank you for writing that up. I have been actively resisting using people for IT support, as I know it takes time. I have been trying to find everything I can, there isn’t much or what there is assumes knowledge I don’t have.

There’s a comment with a list of stuff to do that I’ve saved. So I’ll probably start knocking that out one by one.

When it was active I was getting ads. I disabled the pi-hole registered an increase in traffic and there were no more ads. I don’t know why. It’s working as it is and I’ll tinker when I know more.

That’s a relief. Thank you.

Both pi’s have static IPs.

I asked the *arrs to talk to each other, and when they didn’t work (and only when they didnt work) I "ufw allow"ed the relevant port.

I just want to patch up my firewall layer as best I can, and then start building security layers on top/below it as I learn how.

So I told Sonarr that qBit it at 192.168…:port. The test failed, “ufw allow port”, then the test passed. Could I instead have told Sonarr qBit is at 172.18…:port(dockers network address) and then close up the firewall. Or can I set them all to “ufw limit”. Or set the firewall to only allow local local traffic… You get the idea, I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to ask the right questions.

I don’t know, what’s more I don’t know how to check.Which ever most likely?

ISP plastic box didn’t allow custom DNS, I disabled DHCP and IPv6. On pihole I enabled DHCP with IPv6 disabled.

I know, I know enough to be dangerous now, and I’m trying to get the system through my dangerous phase. I don’t think I know enough to ask intelligent questions yet…

ISP modem. I have a pi3 running pihole-dhcp-unbound, ufw and log2ram.

My system is a pi4 running *arrs, qBit, fail2ban, portainer in docker and ufw for now. Use case is: via mobile phone access *arrs, let them do their things and manually play files via hdmi or move files via thumbdrive. I was thinking giving up the phone access to put them on their own network, but subnets are beyond my ken for now.

Hoping to increment my security, and then the system as my skills develop.

Edit, qBit and prowlarr are behind gluetun set up for mullvard. I’m in the UK so had to put the indexer behind a VPN. UFW

Just trying to keep outside/malicious actors from entering my stuff while also bring able to use my stuff. More safer is more better, but I’m trying to balance that against my poor technical ability.

My priority list is free>easy>usable>safe. Using UFW seemed to fit, but you’re right, punching holes in it defeats the purpose Which is why I wanted to only allow local network and have only the necessary ports open. You have given me lots of terms to Google as a jumping off point so thank you.

Current obstacle: dockstarter qbittorrent immediately flips torrent to ‘errored’. Edit to current progress. Bottom left has “free space: unknown” so I think it’s a storage issue. sudo lsblk" has sdb1 mounted to /mnt/hdd correctly I think. The “storage” volume in Portainer is set to /mnt/hdd so I think that’s correct. The storage in qbit is set correctly as well I think, /data/torrents. I think I’ve set permissions to allow things to happen to the HDD “sudo chmod 777 /mnt/hdd” on the Pi’s cli. I dont kmow if I was supposed to gove docker those permissions somehow, I haven’t been smart enough to find anything in any documents.

Yay learning

Matches my experience. It doesn’t matter what guide I’m following, I seem to have to troubleshoot every other step. On the plus side, stumbling over every obstacle possible has been a great learning experience and I am primarily doing this as an exercise… Fuck me would I like something to just work though.

Thank you.

I am sorry, I am but a worm just starting Docker and I have two questions.

Say I set up pihole in a container. Then say I use Pihole’s web UI to change a setting, like setting the web UI to the midnight theme.

Do changes persist when the container updates?

I am under the impression that a container updating is the old one being deleted and a fresh install taking its place. So all the changes in settings vanish.

I understand that I am supposed to write files to define parameters of the install. How am I supposed to know what to write to define the changes I want?

Sorry to hijack, the question doesn’t seem big enough for its own post.

We all have.

That is AMAZING… I want a LC Dutch oven, but I know i’d never use it out of fear of chipping it. I abuse my cookwear so I buy sturdy and cheap for my own mental health… But LC is just so pretty, I’m envious.

That was me, I was raised Mormon so I had a lot of common sense that turned out to be unquestioned prejudice. Not a defence of who I was though, I was a prick.

I have the RG35XX + 128GB Sandisc SD card + GarlicOS + Best set go. As a toe in the water set up it’s awesome, 4 stops to have damn near everything PS1 and before worth playing, all for under a hund. Just add your few nostalgia hits that are missing and you’re done, like Worms hello?

I picked it over the Miyoo Mini Plus because it was cheaper on the day. They seem much of a muchness, for the most part the USP of either is meh to me, though I did use the mini hdmi for some level/life shenanigans once… I think I would have been happy with whichever one I got.

It certainly has its quirks with the menu button, I never tried analogue stick games with an external controller, because I’ve tonnes of games to get through before I think about Ape Escape.
