We moved to Colorado and 10 miles takes me about 15 minutes to cross the city we’re in, 30 in traffic. Where we grew up 10 miles around the city was 1-2 hours regardless of time of day (except maybe 2am). The country is just way too diverse for distance to be nearly as meaningful at transit time.

Glad we got to the root issue! As others have said this is a learning process and you picked one of the more complicated ones to start with. Once this is done e everything else will start to feel much easier!

If you are on the raspberry pi with a physical screen/keyboard and mouse you can also try accessing with the ip address “localhost:80” and see if there’s a connection that way as well.
- Comment on Beginner needs help with setting NextCloud without a domain 3 months ago:
We can get the port list another way. From the terminal on the raspberry pi run the command “nmap localhost”. Let us know what that shows, but I would expect to see either 80, 443, or both.
As a side note, if you did not give the nextcloud container a certificate when you made it, you cannot use https:// on the browser, as it has no way to talk using that security mechanism. It is only capable in that case of using http:// and port 80. You will need to disable forced https to access the site (this is fine on the local network if every device is trusted, and only encrypted vpn service in like zerotier is used imo). This might be your problem here, especially if you are seeing both ports listed as open on the pi.

You would be given a safety risk warning page by your browser if you did the sec signed certificate that you’d need to tell it to connect anyway, so that likely isn’t the issue. Looking at ports, how are you trying to connect to the server? If you did not assign a certificate at all, you would want to use port 80, port 443 if you did install a certificate.
For instance, my Nextcloud is on ip 192.168.50.30 With that in mind I would be using:
No certificate: 192.168.50.30:80 Certificate: 192.168.50.30:443
Does this look like what you are typing in?
As two additional questions, what is the output of “docker container ls” typed into the terminal? And what operating system did you install on the pi, was it raspbian?
- Comment on Beginner needs help with setting NextCloud without a domain 3 months ago:
At a glance your first issue is finding the correct ip address, you should only have one local ip address to access it with (inside your home network).
To find your local ip, type “ip a” into the terminal, and look for the address under “eth0“ for a wired connection, or “wlan0” for wireless. This will allow you to connect using the ip and port while on your home network to test the connection and make sure it works right.
After that, I highly recommend the vpn option, it will simplify connecting to it while not at home without creating security issues like setting it up with a domain. I personally use zerotier, that guide will help you get it set up on the raspberry pi. Not the last bit about a “managed ip.” That will be the address to tell your phone to connect too once you have the vpn set up on the phone as well.

This appears to be correct. See:
EncoderAppPath was simply not present at all in encoding.xml! There was only the display value: <EncoderAppPathDisplay /> My own installation was completely fixed by adding <EncoderAppPath>/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPath>

- Comment on Tunnelling a port from a separate computer 4 months ago:
There’s a similar software called zerotier that only routes traffic you want across. You select an IP range (for instance 10.144..) and it gives your computer a new address. For my main computer let’s say it’s 10.144.168.128. The only traffic routed over the vpn is traffic addressed to that address. You can append the port to web traffic like 10.144.168.128:8010/zm/index.php (zoneminder used as an example) and it would use the vpn for that connection but nothing else.

Docker on its own won’t think to look at that interface unless you tie it to it. Assuming you want to listen to both interfaces and external watchdog would be the call. You’d set the watchdog to look for iptables issues and then run commands if it went down (ie to restart iptables and then restart your containers).

Second the key-password combo. It keeps the keys you have on the flash drive but adds a password component that thieves would need to figure out as well. Just make sure to pick a good password!

T-mobile was doing this in the US but only blocking certain ports when talking to my home server, might try putting it on a non-standard port as well and see if you can access the service then.

I had a samba issue a while back where the underlying file system started my user didn’t have permission to edit it. It still showed as my user on the vm but didn’t let me edit files. It might be worth checking the owner on the original file system, as well as permissions.

I just keep an encrypted hard drive at work and bring it home to sync once a month/sooner if there’s a bunch of vacation photos we just added to the server or something. External hard drives are cheap nowadays
- Comment on Access Remmina Remotely 9 months ago:
It’s free with their account using their services for up to 25 nodes. It uses direct connections where possible so your information goes straight from one device to the other without having to self host their program.

Yes it can
- Comment on just to be sure, when setting up nextcould i need to purchase a domain name? 9 months ago:
It can be an ip address, if you have a static ip. If you’re planning to host this on the open internet and have a dynamic ip (home internet is most likely for this), or static and don’t want to pay for a top level domain you can use a service like noip.com for a free address like “test.ddns.net”
You can also change this after the initial setup in Nextcloud’s config.php as well as as additional domain names/ip addresses that can reach the server.
- Comment on Period tracking app options? 11 months ago:
If you have an Apple computer and are willing to download some code there’s period underground… it’s terribly written by me for my wife. She uses it on her iPhone and it keeps all data local. I never tried to get it on the App Store due to qt licenses, and because the encryption module didn’t compile so it will rely on you not unlocking your device for someone who shouldn’t be seeing the data. There’s other options I’ve seen on here hopefully one of those will work.
It does exist on the android store with encryption as an option and blank data with no warning if you enter the wrong password. Also includes a quick delete and a quick delete with random data written into the database as deletion options
