Ive got this working with Caddy and Adguard
I use Caddy as my reverse proxy. It is running on the machine in the basement with all the different docker-container-services on different ports. My registrar is set up so that *.my-domain.com goes to my IP.
Caddy is then configured for ‘service-a.my-domain.com’ to port 1234, and the others going to their ports. This is just completely standard reverse proxy.
For some subdomains (i.e. different services) ive whitelisted only the local network. There is some config for that.
Im pretty sure that I also have to have adguard do a dns rewrite on the local network as well. That is, adguard has a rewrite for ‘*.my-domain.com’ to go to 192.168.0.22 (the local machine with caddy). I think i had to do this to ensure that when the request gets to caddy it is coming from the local whitelisted network rather than my public IP (which changes every couple months, but could be more).
When i was doing a headless install, i spend a hour or two trying to figure out how to pre setup configs for the debian installer or how to do it over network or what before i finally lugged the new machine to the other room and plugged it into the monitor and keyboard of the main rig, installed it all (and set up ssh so i can later get into from the main rig), and unplugged it.
My point is, even if it isnt trivial to have the keyboard and monitor, it may be much easier to get them than to really do an install without them.
Ive got some stuff that i think is similar to what you are trying where i have an excel file template and use python to read from the database and populate cells in excel and then save a pdf.
There are a couple different options for python libraries - openpyxl, xlwings, or pywin32.
It is annoying and goofy, but works. Excel can be very flexible with getting everything sized just right for what your final output/pdf should look like.
Thanks!
If im doing this right, the url is just the releases page for the repo with a .atom at the end. So for Vaultwarden it is https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/releases.atom
Maybe it isnt as bad as i remember, or maybe i tried doing HA Core on the debian server or something… maybe it got better or maybe im a fool? (I definitely am a fool).
I guess it just as much came down to that I already had the pi, so just running it on that like i had for a year was less hassle than starting it via docker on the other machine?
RP4 running Home Assistant. Running HA in a docker container is harder than running it as the OS on a Pi4. Running HA is how I get into this, i kept trying to put more crap into HA as addons before realizing i should set up a proper server.
I assembled a handful of temp/humidity sensors (that are actually running on Wemos D1 minis).
i’m not finding a way to prevent creating users right now… i’m just able to register new users again and again on the docker run. maybe i’m just missing the config (the documentation is looking like it needs to be fleshed out).
not really trying to anyone with the url make an account on my basement computer…
I’ve set up a test server for matrix as well, wanted to compare to rocket since I see it mentioned a lot.
When I told a friend (the one I’d need on board to get the group of friends to use it) he said “does it have the gifs?” Matrix has a years-long enhancement request for native giphy support which is yet resolved. I dabbled with a giphy plugin with matrix and it worked alright, but I dunno if it was good enough to win my friends over.
Unrelated to your actual post (plan to read later), but is your RSS busted? The rss link on the webpage gives a 404 and my RSS reader is erroring on it as well…
