I've cleaned up my Raspberry Pi selfhosting setup a bit. I'm using two, each in an Argon ONE V5 case with a 1TB NVME drive, running Raspberry Pi OS.

'one' is serving Nextcloud All-in-one, Immich and Vaultwarden via a Caddy reverse-proxy. All using Docker containers, Caddy as a custom build with my domain DNS provider added.

'two' is used as remote borg backup destination for 'one', and later a few monitoring tools.

All three sites are using a wildcard certificate for my domain, and I connect via WireGuard (on the router) when away from home.

Path of least resistance:

I've tried Podman, AlmaLinux, and running a manual install of Nextcloud on Ubuntu. This setup follows recommended installations methods, and gives me fewer things to worry about.

I don't understand why there's not a single Wireguard client on F-Droid. I really don't want to start adding a bunch of random third party repositories.

Not even the official client is there? Why?

#Android #Wireguard

Having followed a tutorial, I could make #WireGuard wg-quick work on my #OpenBSD, but not without DNS query leaks, so I learned I must figure out #unbound - however, a noob like me can only seem to manage to fix configuration errors while unbound itself apparently won't start because of this (which I found out after learning there's more than one way to debug unbound - not elegant, imho):

[1781449588] unbound[95585:0] error: bind: address already in use
[1781449588] unbound[95585:0] fatal error: could not open ports

I figured I should add my VPN interfaces to unbound.conf, but other than that I'm still clueless what else do I need to add or delete.

FreedomBox 26.9 is here! This release enables automatic generation of client keypairs for WireGuard VPN. The client config can be downloaded, or displayed as a QR code, for easier setup.

donc #wireguard ne doit pas être lancé tant que la synchro ntp n'a pas été faite.

Some red devil and yellow fish are now secretly talking to each through a #WireGuard tunnel on the Internet. Glad it is not that complicated to setup and works OOTB.

Hat hier schon mal jemand #wireguard VPN auf #Linux #Mint zum laufen bekommen? Ich habe die Konfiguration importiert die auf zwei Android handy und einem Mac (jeweils mit wireguard App) läuft und es zeigt mir den richtigen Namen und dass es verbunden ist, aber es funktioniert nicht. Ich komme gar nicht ins Netz, weder Internet noch mein Netzwerk daheim (von extern). wenn ich den VPN deaktiviere, geht das Internet.

Le plein de nouveautés sous le capot : C'est basé sur Debian 13 (Trixie) avec le tout dernier Noyau Linux 7.0, Ceph Tentacle 20.2, LXC 7 et OpenZFS 2.4 ! 🐧

Bref, de quoi s'amuser sur nos clusters ! L'ISO est déjà dispo pour les mises à jour 😉

Thanks to #opensmtpd and #OpenBSD and #openbsdamsterdam my mail server setup just got better. Now I have a working smtp (dkim rspamd SPF dmarc ptr) relay and IMAP frontend that brings the connections with #wireguard to my main mail server. First tests indicate that I don't need external relays anymore. Setup was fun, documentation was perfect.

Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self

<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/seven_years_of_running_freebsd_on_thinkpads/> @Darknessraptor

＂I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 & P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I'm the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour.

＂Recently saw the "is FreeBSD really that goated" thread and it brought back the timeline of my own journey. Started with a rough —call it version 0.9 — build that barely had X11 working, evolved through five iterations, landed on something I'd call "production-stable personal desktop" around version 2.0 on FreeBSD 15.0 with a heavily customized MATE, ZFS boot environments, BastilleBSD jails for microservices, WireGuard tunnels and PF.

＂If I could send a packet back in time to my earlier self, here's what I'd put in the payload: …＂

My prompt to ChatGPT: Draw a unicorn that has been genetically combined with a dolphin. The creature is flying across a rainbow whilst a gentle rain falls on lush green Welsh meadows beneath the rainbow. The sky, in the background, is an unnaturally vivid shade of purple. Below the rainbow: a quaint cottage with a person stood at the front door. The person is the mascot for BSD (Beastie). On the lawn in front of the cottage: a badly broken old IBM ThinkPad. In the sky, to the left of the rainbow: instead of a golden sun, place the FreeBSD logo (a red orb with horns).

@PoliceStateUK Get your own VPS and Wireguard. Problem solved.
