If I’ve learned anything in the 30 odd years homelabing and running a SaaS application, it’s that you need to learn the basics of the command line. That will help you master running anything on a nix server.
But must new homelabers are only able to use a gui, so unraid is the best way to get into running stuff with the least effort.
I keep thinking a homelab 101 course would help those new to homelabing get going without a gui.
Where do I join them as IT hands?
I want to volunteer and get paid
I use freeotp+, but it looks like it could be dead now. But I does have an export to file.
We use yubikeys at work, far better then an OTP. Also I have 2 for home use, the only issue is I need to put 1 on some keys I carry as I sometimes need 1 and don’t have it.
So pihole is a full DNS server, so you can add your own DNS records. You don’t need to run bind.

By have some domains in pihole, I access services over vpn or on the local network
Did you know you can use pihole as a full DNS server to serve A and cname records?
I have my public DNS at OVH and internal stuff in pihole, split view DNS is amazing.
Assuming truenas does NFS, I would mount the old docker data into the new docker VM. Stop all running containers and copy the data, copy so that you have a backup should you need to revert.
Make sure all containers are in compose files, up date them for new data location.
When I first found them, I took was amazed you could use mains wiring to network. I used them to get internet on the second floor on the opposite side of the house, worked great at the time.
They worked here on a single ring, but crossing 2 consumer units seems to have killed it
I would agree with that, but here in the UK we dont have coax in every room
I would not, but we had a working system so moving things about should have been fine. I think running over 2 consumer units adds to the latency
ping times have gone from 2ms and up to under 1ms, but thats how I got into them was to get internet from ground floor to second floor
Ok, switch in the shed/office into switch in the garage, switch in the garage into powerline to switch by the router.
Run cable from the garage to the switch by the router and remove 1 of 3 powerline plugs, so yeah just removing a single plug helps so much
Yep, too lazy to run ethernet
Not POE, the opposite. Ethernet over power, powerline?
They were called homeplug at 1 point
Yes powerline, they were called homeplugs at 1 point
Oh, iOS or Android?
Your issue is using a non-routable IP on a public DNS provider, some home routers will assume it’s a miss configuration and drop it.
If your only going to use the domain over a VPN and local network, I would use something like pihole to do the DNS.
If you want access from the internet at large, you will need your public IP in your DNS provider.
Oh, that’s a shame. Maybe need to see why?
I have the notes, files and news apps all connected just fine.
If it’s over your VPN, does your phone now how to find nextcloud?
I know this is said a lot, but nextcloud does all that.
As an added benefit the files are just in a directory that you could edit if needed
The course would be more of a ‘how do you use the terminal and where to find help’
As a lot of the requests I see are the result of not having good experience on the command line, once you can use a terminal the world is yours to command
