This is the way. Frigate just had a major update and the UI is now amazing.
- Comment on Where to buy server replacement hdd to match existing RAID configured drives? 4 months ago:
Damn I wish I would’ve known sooner. Isn’t there a concern of not matching the same drive similar to how you can’t mix and match RAM sticks?

- Comment on Selectively chaining a VPN to another while allowing split tunnelling on clients? 4 months ago:
I guess what I’m getting at is now instead of them tracing your activity to one browser or device, they can more easily group multiple devices since they’re all using the same VPN IP.
- Comment on Selectively chaining a VPN to another while allowing split tunnelling on clients? 4 months ago:
I’ve been toying with this idea but with a mesh network, in my case nebula, after experiencing a similar frustration with limitations on most client devices when trying to connect to multiple VPNs.
One question I’ve been trying to answer is if routing all of these devices to a single vpn endpoint has any negative effects on privacy. Would cycling the IP randomly help to prevent trackers from putting together a profile of activity?

I use Joplin and it works great for this exact thing. Anytime I discover a new command that fixes something I’ll throw it into my Joplin notebook. “New Server Cheatsheet” goes to list in order common operations and commands for setting up SSH, UfW, making a non-root user, configuring wireguard, etc. I have hundreds of notes by now and they’re easily found via search bar.
- Comment on Is this a bad idea? Mesh/VPN 4 months ago:
Yeah I think we’re talking about the same thing. Got any guidance on how you set that up?

- Comment on Nextcloud appreciation post 6 months ago:
I’m a massive Nextcloud fan and have a server up and running for many years now.
But I understand all of the downvoted commenters. It is clunky and buggy as hell at times. Maybe it’s less noticeable when you’re running a single user instance, but once you have non tech literate users using it you begin to notice how inferior it is to the big boys like google drive in some aspects.
That said, I personally have a decent tolerance for fiddling and slight frustrations as a trade off for avoiding privacy disrespecting and arguably evil corporations.
I would recommend everybody looking for a gdrive, Dropbox, one drive alternative to at least give Nextcloud a go.
- Comment on [Question] Alternative to NFS for Proxmox Backup Server 6 months ago:
Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I have about 20TB of data on the disks otherwise I would take your advice to set up a different scheme. Luckily, as it’s a backup server I don’t need maximum speed. I set it up with mergerfs and snapraid because I’m essentially recycling old drives into this machine and that setup works pretty well for my situation.
The proxmox host is the default (ext4/lvm I believe). The drives are also all ext4. I very recently did a data drive upgrade and besides some timestamp discrepancies likely due to rsync, the SCSI semi-virtualized thing wasn’t an issue. I replaced the old drive with a larger one, hooked the old one up to a usb dongle and passed it through to OMV and I was able to transfer everything and get my new data drive hooked back into the mergerfs pool and snapraid. I’ll do a test and see if I can still access the files directly in the proxmox host just for educational purposes.
I’ll try to re-mount the NFS and see where that gets me. I’m also considering switching to a CIFS/SMB share as another commenter had posted. Unless that is susceptible to the same estale issue. I won’t be back at that location for about a week so I might not have an update for a little while.

Third time posting this reply due to the lemmy server upgrade.
Proxmox on bare metal. A VM with OMV and a VM of proxmox backup server. Multiple drives passed through to OMV and then mergerfs pools them together. That pool has two main shared folders. One is for a remote duplicati server that connects via SFTP. The other is an NfS for PBS. The PBS VM uses the NFS shared folder as storage. Everything worked until recently when I started getting estale errors. Duplicati still works fine
- Comment on [Question] Alternative to NFS for Proxmox Backup Server 6 months ago:
Looks like my reply got purged in the server update.
Running Proxmox baremetal. Two VMs: Proxmox Backup Server and OMV. Multiple HDDs passed through directly as SCSI to OMV. In OMV they’re combined into a mergerfs pool. Two shared folders on the pool: one dedicated to proxmox backups and the other for data backups. The Proxmox backup shared folder is an NFS share and the other shared folder is accessed by a remote duplicati server via SSH (sftp?). Within the proxmox backup server VM, the aforementioned NFS share is set up as a storage location.
I have no problems with the duplicati backups at all. The Proxmox Backup Server was operating fine as well initially but began throwing the estale error after about a month or two.
Is there a way to fix the estale error and also to prevent it from reoccurring?
- Comment on [Question] Alternative to NFS for Proxmox Backup Server 6 months ago:
Underlying system is running Proxmox. From there I have the relevant two VMs: OMV and Proxmox Backup Server. The hard drives are passed into OMV as SCSI drives. I had to add them from shell as the GUI doesn’t give the option. Within OMV I have the drives in a mergerfs pool, with a shared folder via NFS that is then selected as the storage from within the Proxmox Backup Server VM. OMV has another shared folder that is used by a remote duplicati server via SSH(SFTP?), but otherwise OMV has no other shared folders or services. Duplicati/OMV have no errors. PBS/OMV worked for a couple of months before the aforementioned error cropped up.

- Comment on [Help] Pfsense Routing OPT1 to Use Wireguard Interface / Gateway 7 months ago:
Problem solved. The firewall was attempting to pass traffic through the default gateway. You have to create a firewall rule to allow whatever traffic you want but in the advanced settings you need to select the wireguard gateway instead.
