I know, I know, clickbaity title but in a way it did. It also brought in the situation in the first place but I’m just going to deliberately ignore that. Quick recap:
I came home at 3pm from the city, my internet at home didnt work.
checked multiple devices, phones worked out of wifi, I figured I need to restart the router
I login to the router and it responds totally normal but my local network doesnt. (Its always dns, I know)
I check the router log and see 100s of login attempts over the past couple of days.
I panic and pull the plug, try to get into my server by installing an old monitor, works, many errors about dns
Wife googles with her phone, seems I had https login from outside on and someone found the correct port, its disabled now
Obviously, local network still down, I replug everything and ssh into the server which runs pihole as dns
pihole wont start dns, whatever I do
I use history and find I "chmod 700"ed the dns mask directory instead of putting it in a docker volume…
I check the pihole.log, nothing
I check the FTL log, there is the issue
I return it to 777, everything is hunky dory again.
Now I feel very stupid but I found a very dangerous mistake by having my lan fail due to a less dangerous mistake so I’ll take this as a win.
Thanks for reading and have a good day! I hope this helps someone at some day.
If you have everything on docker compose migrating to another host is pretty easy. I could probably migrate my 11 stacks of 36 containers in 2 to 3 hrs
If everything works well, I could probably do that too. But I‘ve had too many obscure little things happen that 10x the amount of time needed so I always plan for the worst case.
Also, my point was that people are being massively overreacting due to the fact that my logs showed signs of attacks, not intrusion.
I run many servers and the commercial ones I am much more slow and careful with. Every public facing service has attacks in their logs and I deal with them. I know what experience you guys have but its not hosting public services.
the arrogance with which people suggest someone is incompetent is baffling. Not talking about you but quite a number of comments where condescending af.
Thanks for the advice with ansible. I might actually give this a go.
Figure ~45 minutes to run to the liquor store for a decent single malt, another ~25 minutes for the pizza rolls, quick power nap, wake up and redeploy. That’s about 2 hours.

Why would it take 2 to 3 hrs? Download time of container images?

Pretty much this. Lot of padding in those numbers or waiting for some manual things to install etc
