You should only need the cgroup2 entries, but they should be pointing to the correct devices:
- cgroup2 entries to allow rwm access to the correct device
- /dev/dri dir and file entries that specify bind,optional,create
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:0 rwm lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:128 rwm lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri dev/dri none bind,optional,create=dir lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/renderD128 dev/renderD128 none bind,optional,create=file
- Comment on Share single service via WireGuard 1 day ago:
Yes, since Tailscale is based on wireguard.
Probably not the best practice, though, since any device that connects will be allowed to use the service if there is no authentication on the cert.
- Comment on How to set up backup for media files on Proxmox? 2 days ago:
If the target is zfs, use zfs send. If the target is anything else, rsync.
Schedule it with cron.
Be aware that with zfs snapshots, you need to replay them to restore, which means you’ll periodically need to do a full backup. ClaraSystems has a number of guides on how to create zfs datasets to make efficient backups the way you want.
- Comment on Self hosted calendar 2 days ago:
I had a very old install, migrated from 2016. It broke on nearly every upgrade, where I’d have to invoke some occ command to fix the db. It was more work than was worth having Nextcloud.
Now I have syncthing and radicale.
- Comment on Self hosted calendar 2 days ago:
Radicale. I just finished setting it up and with that, I can now finally shut down Nextcloud.
- Comment on Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently? 2 days ago:
I don’t think they want to bother with the administration, they were forced to to stop anyone from spamming from random SMTP servers.
Because of dmarc and DKIM, we don’t really need this anymore, but there were good reasons for it.
- Comment on I got hooked on browsing openalternative.co's "Most Popular" list 4 days ago:
This list is terrible. These are all “Ai-powered” apps that have mostly better and established alternatives.

Plex isn’t perfect, but jellyfin X Y Z
Really, my guy? You forget that Plex takes things away after saying they wouldn’t? You’re happy with your paid Plex pass… Until Plex decides one day that your pass isn’t lifetime anymore. Or that it doesn’t cover the features it used to. And yes, Plex has lied about this before. That’s why so many ppl are pissed at Plex.
And please give an example of “jellyfin being held back”, whatever that means.
Ethan Sholly, if you don’t know anything about how FOSS works, just listen and stop talking.
- Comment on retiring the pigeon homelab 5 days ago:
I went the other way; I had a Dell r430 and downsized to two hp elitedesk g4 mini. Together, they use less than half of the power of the 1u server.
But I am never satisfied, I’m sure I’ll want to iterate again next year.

On what platform?
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 1 week ago:
Sure, I can accept that.
I don’t particularly have an opinion on artist compensation vs listener freedom when it comes to this. Obviously, I would prefer artists were paid what they deserve, but I don’t like participating in the fallacy that the end user is ethically responsible for the bullshit music industry infrastructure not paying artists properly.
I give where I can, but I’m just some person.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 1 week ago:
I think like this solution the best.
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 1 week ago:
Not if you’re buying them 2nd hand on eBay, which would represent the bulk of building a collection.
To be clear, im not trying to detract from the effort, it’s just op mentioned artists not getting paid what they deserve.
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 1 week ago:
Legal, yes. Supports the artist? No.
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 1 week ago:
That thing about docker being so badly behaved in unprivileged containers seems to be a proxmox problem, not an LXC problem, as I’ve discovered running LXC in a non-proxmox environment.
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 1 week ago:
Same here. I used proxmox for 8 years and have recently dumped it in favour of a couple of incus machines running OCI and LXC containers.
Much lighter, much faster, and to be honest, more straightforward when it comes to storage abstraction, which I think proxmox does in a very… convoluted way.
- Comment on Adding additional FreeDNS domain to duckdns (nginx/certbot) 1 week ago:
You can create a canonical name (CNAME) record to point to your old domain, you don’t need to recreate the LE if you don’t want to.
- Comment on Adding additional FreeDNS domain to duckdns (nginx/certbot) 1 week ago:
Assuming I understood your scenario, Canonical name record pointing one DNS name to another domain, then recreate your letsencrypt on the host.

- Comment on Pinepods mobile apps and a request for help 2 weeks ago:
Makes sense, thank you.
- Comment on Pinepods mobile apps and a request for help 2 weeks ago:
Looks great, and I’m fully supportive of this.
However, I can’t understand the use case, and the part I can’t wrap my head around is why the server part is required… What differentiates pinepods from, say, antennapod from a functional standpoint?
- Comment on Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts 2 weeks ago:
I thought I was being clear that I have audited some of the scripts. They are built referencing other scripts instead of functions, and these rely on URLs. It’s difficult to follow.
Don’t ask chatgpt to audit code.
- Comment on Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts 2 weeks ago:
Have you ever looked at what was once ttek scripts? They’re a spaghetti of calls to other scripts. It’s not pretty.

An apipa address is a sign that networking is not working as intended. This should be resolved first before assigning a class C private addr manually.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 2 weeks ago:
The ds211j is on synology DSM 6, which is ancient. I’ll look again, but I don’t think it supports btrfs.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use access control, I lock down with networking and filters.
- Comment on Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction? 2 weeks ago:
But those are concerns for all containers, and not really an immich issue.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 2 weeks ago:
I agree, NFS is eazy peazy, livin greazy.
I have an old ds211j synology for backup. I just can’t bring myself to replace it, it still works. However, it doesn’t support zfs. I wish I could get another Linux running on this thing.
However, NFS does work on it and is so simple and easy to lock down, it works in a ton of corner cases like mine.
- Comment on Best Practice Ideas 3 weeks ago:
My issue with mgmt.config is that it bills itself as an api-driven “modern” orchestrator, but as soon as you don’t have systemd on clients, it becomes insanely complicated to blast out simple changes.
Mgmt.config also claims to be “easy”, but you have to learn MCL’s weird syntax, which the issue I have with chef and its use of ruby.
Yes, ansible is relatively simple, but it runs on anything (including being supported on actual arm64) and I daresay that layering roles and modules makes ansible quite powerful.
It’s kind of like nagios… Nagios sucks. But it has such a massive library of monitoring tricks and tools that it will be around forever.
- Comment on Best Practice Ideas 3 weeks ago:
Running the k8s in their own VM will allow you to hedge against mistakes and keep some separation between infra and kube.
I personally don’t use proxmox anymore, but I deploy with ansible and roles, not k8s anymore.
