I mean… they’re not totally wrong.


No idea but there are new and exciting torrent technologies being worked on all the time. Things like DHT nodes or turning off anonymous mode can affect speeds. Your other clients may have different settings enabled or disabled or may not have implemented new protocols.


Can you just give gluetun the wrong info for you vpn server and see if transmission still works?



Well first I’d try turning off pi hole on the server avenue see if it fixes the issue, even though it’s unlikely as pihole should be handling dns requests for your whole network anyway.

Usually with this setup you only need to place your torrent/Usenet download client behind the VPN. Use a container like gluetun and make your download client container a service of gluetun so it only connects though gluetun. The rest of your stack can just access the internet normally.

There should be more info in the jellyseer log file, have a look in your docker directory or have a play with the “docker logs” command and try to recreate the issue. If you kill your jellyseer container then start it


You have to scroll for miles to reach different sections.



Bitwarden and Nginx proxy manager
Hello I installed bitwarden via their install script a while back and all was working well. recently I wanted to start running a reverse proxy because security and also its cooler to type in a domain name instead of numbers. I disabled the ngnix instance that bitwarden had installed because it was hogging the same ports a Ngnix Proxy Manager. Now how should I get Bitwarden accessable? I have the .conf file from the bitwarden Ngnix instance, can I just load that into NMP somewhere? or should I just change the ports the old ngnix operates on and point NPM at it when the bitwarden subdomain is accessed? if it was just one service it would be simple but there are many running in the bitwarden stack, all on the same port and I'm very new to ngnix so I can't fully grasp what the .conf file is doing and I'm unable to add new passwords to bitwarden until I get this sorted out. Thanks Edit: bitwarden is in docker container, as is Nginx Proxy Manager

You can use a “+” symbol to make simple sub-aliases that all get sent to your normal email. If my email is me@domain.com any email sent to me+anything.example@domain.com will be sent to the inbox of me@domain.com but the email address is was sent to will be listed at me+anything.example@domain.com. Bitwarden can do this automatically when you generate a login.

If your email alias is ever leaked or gets used for spam you can just block all emails going to that alias.


We’ll what do you want to do on your server? Why not just get the same one again?


head over to !selfhosted@lemmy.world and watch any perceived savings evaporate into thin air. along with your spare time… seriously, its great.


it says on that mediasonic link

Important Note: • For eSata connection: Make sure your eSata port Support port multiplier. Most onboard eSata and some eSata PCI-E card only Support up to 5 drives. To see all 8 hard drives in eSata you need a eSata PCIe card that supports 8 drives.

I’m assuming the enclosure doesn’t do any of the raid/array configuration, it just passes data through.

as far as I know only USB and eSata can do port multiplying. I think if you want to get access to all the drives you’ll have to get a pcie card to handle the eSata or just use USB3. eSata (6gb/s) is faster than USB3 (5gb/s) and you might actually manage to saturate the connection trying to read or write to 8 drives though one cable.

in your use case both options are less than desirable but esata (if done correctly) could be faster. USB3 will probably be fine unless you really need that extra gb/s of speed

Edit: It looks like sata port multiplying can exist but its not really supported by manufacturers nor required by the standard so hit and miss as to whether a board can handle it.



Me: I got a small plex server going to save money compared to steaming…

Narrator: He did not.


But do antivirus really help with that? Is it going to check for open ports and see if the service listening has a strong password?

You can’t program against social engineering or missconfiguration, and because those are the only real vulnerabilities in Linux there’s no need for antivirus.


I think you’re about to find out that the “belief” that Linux doesn’t need antivirus isn’t just held by everyone in this community, it’s held by the whole Linux community. Hence there being no active projects in the space.

Heck you almost don’t need any antivirus in windows anymore. Just windows defender and half a brain when it comes to what you download.


SOLVED: Self Hosting Bitwarden, STMP Issues
Hi guy, I've managed to get bitwarden up and running in a docker instance as per the instructions provided by bitwarden [here](https://bitwarden.com/help/install-on-premise-linux/). Its up and available inside and outside the local network but I can't figure out how to get it to connect to an email provider so it can send verification emails and invitations. I used my Microsoft hosted email, lets call it me@mydomain.com.au (domain provided by a 3rd party). I've edited the global.override.env file to suit the values given by Microsoft and opened port 587 in my router, (unclear whether they want SSL or TLS but I've tried both) I've also tried to connect with my gmail but no luck. When I try to verify my email I just get "An unhandled server error has occurred" Bitwarden is also accessed through bitwarden.mydomain.com.au in this example. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or even let me know where I might find relevant logs. the stuff in the /bwdata/ folder hasn't been very helpful. The only thing I can think of is that when I run "docker ps" in the terminal, none of the bitwarden related containers seem to be specifically passing port 587 through, but that was never mentioned in the guide, and I don't know which container would need it. Thanks EDIT: I've closed port 587. I also ran the recommended telnet commands to check if I could get to the STMP server and got back a response including STARTTLS so that all good I found these log entries in the api folder. With my Microsoft account info ``` 2023-09-10 12:12:42.840 +00:00 [Information] Api started. 2023-09-10 12:13:36.357 +00:00 [Error] 535: 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, the request did not meet the criteria to be authenticated successfully.

After enabling two factor authentication, generating an app password through gmail and using that password in the global.override.env file it's now all working. Thanks for your help guys. Still can't figure out how to get an app password from Microsoft though.

That’s… not all hand written is it? No one who is good at computers can write that well. We got into this BECAUSE we couldn’t write well, right?


IRC as in Internet relay chat? I haven’t used it but how would it help me get around my loe data cap? I’m trying Robinhood some data not find obscure downloads. Even if someone provided me with some direct download links I still need to spend the data getting it onto my system.


Yeah that is true but we’ve grandfathered into a plan that is faster than it should be for the money but is limited to 500gb a month. I could get unlimited but it’d cost an extra $20 a month. This has never been a problem until I started building a plex library rather than just streaming. I managed to blow though that in two weeks just messing around.


Yeah I just looked up the policy and they specifically list downloading cars as something you shouldn’t do. I feel like they’re big enough that even if I downloaded 50gb a week it would be a drop in the ocean in their network. I’ve only got a 500gb limit at home right now so any amount helps. I just suppose it depends if they have alerts on for excess data usage by individuals… which they probably do.


Question about data available to network management
Hello this isn't strictly 'selfhosted' material but there seems to be a lot of networking knowledge in this group. I'm thinking of leveraging my universities network to assist in downloading "Linux ISO's" via torrent. I thought a cool little project would be and old rasberry pi with a battery pack, wifi radio and an external hdd in a box would be cool. Considering I have to use a university supplied email and password, unique to me, to connect to the wifi (only once then it connects like normal). How obvious will it be that I am downloading "Linux ISO's"? I'd definitely be running a VPN as a base level of privacy. Also if there is a better community for this please point me in the right direction. Reddit's adds were annoying but it was definitely easier to stumble onto relevant subreddits.

Thats some good info, I had a sneaking suspicion that the server stuff might suck the juice. Currently trawling marktplace for a new i3 or i5 or someone’s older gaming rig I can strip down


My provider uses CGNAT in AUS and I’m on fiber then copper connection. Luckily they just had a option on their account page to turn it off.


First steps to self hosting
Hey all Been playing around with plex and the *arr's for a while on my main desktop. Now looking to set up a server to run plex, downloads, pi hole and eventually some other backup's. Unfortunately the PC I had laying around is 32bit and it seems like most things are removing support for that architecture if they haven't already. Now I'm faced with the problem/opportunity of getting something new (to me). But I'm struggling with the absolute sea of options out there and also don't want to spend on brand new gear. There's quite a bit of server grade hardware floating around (like a Dell Poweredge server T410, 32GB ram, Intel Xeon E5645 2.13GHz Quad-core for $100AUD) or even *rackmount* gear (probably overkill but a boy can dream). Or should I just get a consumer case with the most drive bays I can find and build from there? Lowish power consumption is a priority, planning on running ubuntu or similar. Any and all tips welcome! Thanks.

Oh I’m already testing plex out on the desktop with a few of the *arr services. It’s very neat and satisfying but with power hitting $0.50aud/kW i need to be realistic about what hardware I want to run as investing too heavily early on will take years to pay off.

Still I’m very jealous of what you’ve got going on.


ahh thats fair, there’s never really more than one stream at a time here.


Can I ask why you pay for that speed? I’m on 25/10 and I’ve never felt it was the 25mb download cap that is holding me back.


Part of me looks at this man as a system God among us puny and unworthy users.

The other part is saying just keep paying for one drive and Netflix. As the saying goes “the first step to powerbill and uptime hell is the simple plex server”


Not sure where you’re based but in my country you can buy a prepaid Visa cards that work the same as a normal debit card. Just get someone else to buy it for you using cash, use it to buy crypto.



Hi All. I bought It Takes Two through Steam a while ago but only got around to installing it recently. I now realise it uses EA's launcher which is a big piece of shit. Add is some issues linking my EA account to my Steam account and I'm done with it. It's been a while since I pirated any games, it used to just involve a key gen or copying a few modified files into the right directories. These days I see whole 'repacks' from fit girls and skid rows. Is there anything I can do with the game I've already downloaded or do I need to download a repack from someone? Thanks In Advance.
