- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 6 days ago:
I was a little unfair in my post towards Proxmox. It really is a great solution and I can’t really complain, but it sucks in comparison to ESX where many “custom” items are still hidden in the cli or custom configuration items,. Many of these things are available in the GUI in ESX which is a pretty rough translation for some that have worked in ESX for many years like myself. ESX isn’t without it’s CLI moments but they are rarely ever needed, and if needed only for drastic measures.
The UI is not very intuitive and really looks quite dated too. ESX, Nutanix and XCP-NG have much better interfaces imo, and if Proxmox could throw some of that extra money they’ve earned from the VMware exodus in their UI it would be worthwhile.
Again, I shouldn’t complain but as I get older there’s not much “tinkering” time anymore, and the less time I have to sift through forum posts or official documentation on why something isn’t working as intended, the more easily frustrated I get.
- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 6 days ago:
Don’t go Podman. When I started years ago I installed Fedora with the “containerization” option. This installs podman, not docker as I’m sure most know. I did not.
Podman works great for the most part, but it’s slight differences from docker will have you fighting tooth and nail for certain services to work correctly. And not many (if any at all) have any documentation on getting their containers working with Podman of they don’t start. If you make a GitHub issue asking why or how to get things running in Podman because their docker stack doesn’t work flawlessly like it will in docker, good luck getting help (Mailcow comes to mind specifically here).
Looking back, this decision really shoehorned some very fundamental ideals about containers in my mind, but it was a long fought road I would not choose again. The knowledge I gained about containers with docker would have come soon enough on the easy road.
And yes, you can install Docker on Fedora, but I was much too far down the Podman track before finding out. My environment has changed drastically as of late and most things have been migrated to docker apps in Truenas now, living directly next to their storage as intended (the arr stacks really take a performance hit running their databases over NFS once you have a lot of media for example).

I’m sure they did, and they wouldn’t take the farm down until there was X% failure, but the amount of time and effort it took to perform those repairs made it unfeasible.
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 3 weeks ago:
It worked well until there was a component failure, requiring a whole farm to be taken down to replace said failed components. This is why they dropped the project.

What type of disk (HDD or SSD) and how many disks in the pool?
RAIDZ1 configuration will bring your write speed down some due to data having to write to multiple disks at a time. This is true for most any RAID. Once written, your read speeds should remain the same or improve a bit though.

AMD is apparently king now, and Intel has had some pretty big snafus in recent years. Personally I see them as interchangable.

I’ve never heard of that manufacturer for power supplies. The first search on them is a PSA to not get them with many comments that they don’t work. I would go for an MSI or EVGA PSU instead. Everything else looks good.

- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 2 months ago:
Have you modified the default unbound config at all? This sounds like increasing the cache size limits and timeframes in the unbound config could help.
I’m actually chasing an issue I’ve always had where everything works great in my environment, but on mobile certain domains take ages to finally load up for me. I think it’s a combination of my Pihole blocking and the amount of domains tied to a page (advertisements and tracking), but would love to figure it out. I work around it right now by flipping wifi off and on again in those instances.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 2 months ago:
Instead of port 53, I need to run unbound on 5335 (or another obscure port).I believe I also had to make some host level changed for DNS to operate correctly for incoming requests.
Here’s my podman run commands. These might have changed a bit with Pihole v6, but should still be ok AFAIK.
#PiHole1 Deployment/Upgrade Script podman run -d --name pihole -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp -p 8080:80/tcp --hostname pihole --cap-add=CAP_AUDIT_WRITE -e FTLCONF_REPLY_ADDR4=192.168.0.201 -e PIHOLE_DNS_=“192.168.0.201#5335;192.168.0.202#5335” -e TZ=“America/New York” -e WEBPASSWORD=" MyPassword" -v /var/pihole/pihole1:/etc/pihole -v /var/pihole/pihole1/piholedns/:/etc/dnsmasq.d --restart=unless-stopped --label=“io.containers.autoupdate=registry” docker.io/pihole/pihole:latest

I just went through my setup to verify dnssec settings in unbound to troubleshoot strange latency when removing random names while browsing. Did you verify the unbound certificate file was created and had the proper permissions? There are also a couple other configuration items in unbound related to dnssec that can be tweaked to improve the implementation.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 2 months ago:
I do exactly the same thing for all three of these services! My implementation is on podman rather than docker, but basically the same deal.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 2 months ago:
Apologies, you mentioned specifically your network drive. Interesting article but they give several work arounds for containers that may require host mode, and it appears the non Plex pass image is one of them to resolve this specific issue.

I would go around them and go directly to the source of categorization. It looks like this is the Symantec categorization website in case it’s different from what you’re workplace provides - sitereview.bluecoat.com/#/
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 2 months ago:
You’ve likely given it full control to whatever storage you’ve mounted in the container anyway, unless you’ve given it the :ro flag, which in that case would operate the same regardless of networking mode. If someone gains access to your internal host, you have bigger problems. Some things just play better under host mode and all bridged mode is doing is creating a virtual switch on your host and passing allowed traffic through it at a base level. The best way to protect is by running a load balancer in a DMZ and proxying all of the traffic through it which is how I have my instance running. I funnel everything external --> TCP\UDP 443 in DMZ vlan load balancer --> internal LAN IP:docker port. I run a mix of host network or bridged mode depending on the container.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 2 months ago:
Are you running in docker? Change from bridged mode to host mode on your container which should resolve this.

As someone else mentioned, this is only available to PlexPass users. Sorry for the confusion! I bought my lifetime sub over a decade ago at this point and forget about these inconsistencies that used to just be part of the product.

It all starts to make sense then. I need to set Jellyfin up soon. It’s only a matter of time before they come after the “Lifetime” purchasers like myself. I bought it over a decade ago at this point.

Strange that plex.tv isn’t blocked while a “personal” categorized website is. Have you looked to see what category your domain is shuffled under? You could try submitting a recategorization request to Cisco Umbrella or Fortinet databases. Requests for recategorization are free to do.

Lol same thought here. Was amazing for the time, but I should probably let nastalgia live on in my head and not try to pick it up again for the same reason.

I have been thinking a lot of Dark Cloud lately. Was one of the first PS2 games I played after release and have great nostalgia of it. I remember the final 100 floor dungeon but only traversing maybe 40-50 floors before getting burned out and moving onto more games from the PS2 era. I think NFSU was up next in my list.
