Look into a container call gluetun. It enables you to run containers through a vpn connection. I am unfamiliar with yunohost, so I don’t know the difficulty of doing this. But gluetun is exactly what you need.

I will get them a look
- Comment on Finally installed my own Firewall 1 week ago:
I’m running a proxmox instance on mine, with opnsense in a vm and plex, Jellyfin pihole and my omada controller on lxc. 16gb is just enough for everything, but I like to future proof and buffer things, so it makes me a bit nervous utilizing 12 of that 16 gb and only leaving 4gb for proxmox.
- Comment on Finally installed my own Firewall 1 week ago:
I could, if it wasn’t so damn expensive for 32gb
- Comment on Finally installed my own Firewall 1 week ago:
That looks exactly like the box I grabbed. Are you running your opnsense on the bare metal, or are you virtualizing it? My only regret for mine was not picking up more ram.
- Comment on ROCm on older generation AMD gpu 2 weeks ago:
My 6700xt works pretty well with nixos, arch, Debian and Ubuntu. Can’t seem to get comfyui to recognize it, but ollama and lama.ccp use it just fine. Just cause it’s not supported doesn’t mean it won’t work. I have an instinct mi25 that I flashed to a wx9100, per this. About 6 months ago, was working great on Debian 12, Ubuntu 20 and 22, nixos and arch. Now, can’t even get it to work on Ubuntu 20 using rocm 5.4. Super sad I can’t leverage the extra vram.

- Comment on Tips for moving from TrueNAS to Debian for a NAS? 3 weeks ago:
I ran a Debian nas with cockpit as the interface for a bit. Eventually stopped using cockpit and did most of what I needed from the terminal, just easier and quicker. Only used it for nfs shares, but you can use docker or podman no problem. The great thing about Debian is that it is barebones and easy to add exactly what you need and nothing else. There is nothing special you need to do other than install and set up the disk sharing of your choice. There are specific and special was to set certain things up, like zfs, but everything is usually well documented.

Do you have an old raspberry pi or laptop? Netbootxyz will run on a potato with ethernet.
- Comment on moved from truenas core to scale a month or two ago, and it's been a struggle. anyone else having issues running a truenas scale VM under proxmox? 1 month ago:
I have NetBoot.xyz on my network for ipxe booting. They have memtest as a boot image, ran that for a few days. I don’t remember if it found the stick that was bad or if I just started pulling and booting and process of elimination.

Have you made sure your ram modules are all good? Was getting funky behavior with truenas in a proxmox vm, come to find out one of my 32gb sticks was bad. Removed the stick, no funky behavior. Replaced with a different stick, been solid since, maybe a year and a half on now.
- Comment on Home server / NAS scaling 2 months ago:
It states here that the 9300 is quicksync enabled, so should have no problem with nvec @4k. How many streams? I don’t know that one.

Yea, but soon we’ll have no states to vpn to, and we will have to start using the Quebec servers, then all the websites will be in French and I’ll have to learn a new language.
- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 2 months ago:
Everyone is mentioning nvidia, but amds rocm has improved tremendously in the last few years, making a 6900xt 16gb an attractive option for me. I currently have a 6700xt 12gb that works no problem with ollama and comfyui, and an instinct mi25 16gb that works with some fiddling as well. From what I understand, an mi50 32gb requires less fiddling. However the instinct line is passively cooled, so finding a way to cool it might be a reason to stay away from them.
- Comment on How often do you update software on your servers? 3 months ago:
Almost everything I have runs Debian or NixOS, so……… once a month? Except for VMs I’m playing around with, which usually get updated every time I log into them, or instal stuff.
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 4 months ago:
I use proxmox because I am a tinkerer and VMs help me tinker without worrying about making major mistakes that might brick my server. If I want to try something new, just spin up a test VM and try it out, the rest of my stacks are safe and if I muck up the test VM I’m tinkering with, just delete it and start again.
I started with KVM-QEMU, which proxmox is based on, with virt-manager front end. Can do all the same things, but can be installed on most distros. Will let you get your feet wet with VMs without having to format and install proxmox.
- Comment on Asking for suggestions on managing media 5 months ago:
Tdarr is what I use to unify my media. It does a good job of converting my files to h265. Runs in the background with my tesla p4 transcoding 3 streams at a time. Ripped through my 30ish tb library in a few days. It can change bitrate and resolution as well, but I haven’t had the time to play around with that yet. Can watch you library for change and transcode automatically, or you can run it when you like.

Watch some YouTube channels like Jeff Geerling or Hardware Haven. They along with others, made the daunting task or self hosting manageable for me. Great tips with helpful pointers, and they lay things out fairly well, on their videos and their websites.

That’s the beauty and curse of language. It is constantly morphing and changing depending on public sentiment. I truly believe in another 40-60 years, “fuck” will be a perfectly normal word for a 6 year old to say instead of “oops”.
- Comment on Proxmox setup - help needed 11 months ago:
Hopping in here to mention Proxmox Helper Scripts . They have many scripts that help you set up LXCs with software you may be using, including the full aar stack.
I tend to test things in a dedicated new VM, to get a feel for it, make sure I need to add it to my permanent services. If it does, I try to find a way to run it via LXC, and if that is too complicated/won’t work, I have a dedicated docker VM I throw it on. Everyone will answer the “LXC/VM/Docker” question differently, and they will all be correct. What is easiest for you is the right way.
I run a VM with opnsense as my network firewall. Moved it from a hardware install. I don’t see any issues, and there are loads of times it’s saved my ass having it backed up as a VM.
Slam as much ram as you can afford/fit inside the computer too. Every time I think I have enough, I always find I have need/use for more.
