You’ve put words to my general feeling as of late.


I rolled out Dockge the other week, and it’s solid. It can handle environment variables, but lacks other portainer features like controlling networks, volumes, building images, etc.

One big plus is that Dockge works really well with the dockcheck.sh script for updates, where as Portainer breaks that script.


I’m pretty sure everything Capcom touches has Denuvo.



Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried both Firefox and Obsidian containers from Linuxserver.io before, but when connecting I found there was no output. It made me wonder what was missing (like X11 or Wayland installed on the host) for an output to be generated.


I’m curious what the host machine for the Docker container is? Is it a headless server or something with a desktop/window manager?

Been looking to set up the Obsidian Docker container but I presently only run headless, so it sounds like a headache.


I wanted to spin up OCIS but for some reason ran in to difficulties with the Docker container. I forget what the issues were, but I already had a solid Nextcloud instance running so I didn’t dig very hard. Would like to revisit it some day.

However, since then Owncloud has been bought out, causing some worry.

Edit- Merger info


I’m curious, do you work in healthcare? Healthcare adjacent? Where did you acquire your expertise on the funding and operations of healthcare?

I worked in healthcare at one of Canada’s largest hospitals - in finance. The pay is below average, even in upper management. Right sizing salaries to industry standards has forever been pushed back because there isn’t money for it. There are structural funding deficits. Models haven’t been revisited in 15, 20 plus years. Every year there are austerity measures taken - services cut or capital spend deferred.

Even with an external financial review of the hospital operations and finances, run in conjunction with the Ministry Of Health, it was found that it couldn’t get much more efficient - that additional funding was needed to cover the gap.

But of course there is no funding forthcoming.



Hugely appreciate this, thank you! I have a portable monitor this would be brilliant on


Would love to hear more about your setup. This is something I wanted to explore at some point.




What company previously owned Rock Paper Shotgun?

I was an on and off reader of theirs and really liked it in the beginning… but had the distinct impression they changed ownership a little while back when they added some pay walls and game guides.



Sheamus still requires that EA app. I was hoping to get around a launcher on this one for the Steam Deck.



I didn’t realize the remnants of Human Head were at a Bethesda subsidiary. Loved me some Rune.


Thanks for the Fedora nod. I’m looking in to Bazzite. For Intel transcoding on the server I had to install the non-free firmware, and will probably have to do the same.


I was hoping to use Chimera, bit with it only supporting AMD GPU’s (I’m running an Intel n100) I had to keep looking. Bazzite looks interesting.


That sounds like the server side, but what about the client side?


Linux Distro for Jellyfin Client HTPC
I'm looking to replace my Rock 5B running Android TV (the OS jank has finally gotten to me) with an x64 Linux HTPC coupled with an Rii remote. What distro would one recommend for a "Jellyfin native" client setup? I've run Kodi with the Jellyfin plugins before and not been a fan of the experience.

I’m happy for them. Immich, along with Nextcloud, was the driving force behind my getting in to self hosting - getting away from the ridiculous and increasing subscription prices associated with keeping family photos and documents.

It has come an incredibly long way in the time I’ve been using it. I’ve kicked them a donation or two, a first for me with OSS, because it continued to provide so much value for me.

I had read earlier that Alex was hoping to transition to working on this full time and I am happy he has been able to see that realized in - what appears to be - a positive manner.



If you want to roleplay a sysadmin on top of GM, it’s the VTT of choice.


They would bring other game developers or mod developers in house.

Wasn’t Turtle Rock (or whomever made L4D) basically acquired?


Format options.

I’ve pirated ebooks of books I own physically. The exact same series you described.



Mp3tag and hours of fixing metadata used to be me, and then I just kind of… Ran out of time for that.




I sympathize with the dissatisfaction with container and service naming schemes - it does get annoying when you take an overall look at all the containers and services running and things get muddy. In Immich, I renamed my services and containers for overall clarity. But why mess with ports?


I’m curious about this one. I’m running a Radxa Rock 5B with an android TV ROM, but it is a janky experience at best. That has been the main difficult with Radxa’s line of rockchip based SBCs - the software support is lacking. How is the software support for the N2+, and when did it release?


How does this work for you when using an app (E.g. Nextcloud, home assistant, etc) where log in isn’t handled by a browser that can redirect, but instead expects username and password credentials entered in-app?


Thanks! Genuinely had no idea. Thought it was being described as a really fuckin’ cheap DHCP server.


RFC = Really Fuckin’ Cheap?



Does Seafile store data in a flat file, or as files/folder hierarchy on disk?



Proxmox Host Terrible Upload Network Speeds
I've had fun building a plucky little homelab on Proxmox 8.1.4 running kernel 6.5.13-1-pve. It's installed on an HP EliteDesk 800 G6 Desktop Mini PC, with the OS installed on a SATA SSD, there being a 4tb NVME btrfs pool, and there being multiple HDD's connected via USB3. Services are run an an LXC that has Docker installed, a couple other application specific LXC's, and a VM for HAOS. A persistent issue I haven't been able to solve for is absolutely terrible network upload speeds. Sending files over the network to the server is generally fine, however retrieving files from the server is severely limited. 1-3 MB/s. It's bad enough that when streaming a movie through Jellyfin, attempting to copy a file from the server at the same time causes the movie to hang while Jellyfin attempts to buffer. I access many of the services locally through a domain name I own (combo of pihole local DNS and NGINX proxy manager), however these network speed issues persist even when connected directly by IP. The issue also persists when accessing the files through an LXC. It is not a disk access issue - regardless of whether it is the HDD or any of the SSD's being accessed the results are the same. There are two NICs - one built, and a HP specific add in card the Intel I225-V. The issue persists on both. ``` 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (11) I219-LM [8086:0d4c] DeviceName: Onboard Lan Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Ethernet Connection (11) I219-LM [103c:870f] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 126 Memory at e1400000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e ``` ``` 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V [8086:15f3] (rev 03) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Ethernet Controller I225-V [103c:87b9] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at e1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Memory at e1100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable+ 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=5 Masked- Capabilities: [a0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number c0-18-03-ff-ff-65-2f-06 Capabilities: [1c0] Latency Tolerance Reporting Capabilities: [1f0] Precision Time Measurement Capabilities: [1e0] L1 PM Substates Kernel driver in use: igc Kernel modules: igc ``` Running iperf3 on the built in NIC (clients is a laptop connected by wifi) demonstrates the issue: Client side sending data to the server is fine and probably wifi limited, while uploads from the server are significantly slower. ``` # iperf3 -c IP [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 18.2 MBytes 153 Mbits/sec 0 841 KBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 25.9 MBytes 217 Mbits/sec 0 2.12 MBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 30.0 MBytes 252 Mbits/sec 0 3.17 MBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 33.4 MBytes 280 Mbits/sec 0 3.17 MBytes [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 32.2 MBytes 271 Mbits/sec 0 3.17 MBytes [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 28.1 MBytes 236 Mbits/sec 0 3.17 MBytes [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 33.9 MBytes 284 Mbits/sec 0 3.17 MBytes [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 33.8 MBytes 283 Mbits/sec 0 3.17 MBytes [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 31.9 MBytes 267 Mbits/sec 0 3.17 MBytes [ 5] 9.00-10.02 sec 28.9 MBytes 238 Mbits/sec 34 2.31 MBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.02 sec 296 MBytes 248 Mbits/sec 34 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.09 sec 296 MBytes 246 Mbits/sec receiver # iperf3 -c IP -R [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 10.1 MBytes 84.9 Mbits/sec [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 12.4 MBytes 104 Mbits/sec [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 9.62 MBytes 80.7 Mbits/sec [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 4.50 MBytes 37.7 Mbits/sec [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 2.88 MBytes 24.1 Mbits/sec [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 3.12 MBytes 26.2 Mbits/sec [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 5.88 MBytes 49.3 Mbits/sec [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 4.50 MBytes 37.8 Mbits/sec [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 5.62 MBytes 47.2 Mbits/sec [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 5.12 MBytes 43.0 Mbits/sec - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 64.9 MBytes 54.4 Mbits/sec 501 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 63.8 MBytes 53.5 Mbits/sec receiver ``` Similarly, when running on the I225-V: ``` # iperf3 -c IP [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 32.0 MBytes 268 Mbits/sec 0 1.57 MBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 33.6 MBytes 282 Mbits/sec 0 2.62 MBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 36.5 MBytes 306 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 38.1 MBytes 320 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 36.1 MBytes 303 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 33.2 MBytes 279 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 28.5 MBytes 239 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 32.6 MBytes 274 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 32.2 MBytes 270 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 35.1 MBytes 294 Mbits/sec 0 3.13 MBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 342 MBytes 287 Mbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.02 sec 340 MBytes 285 Mbits/sec receiver # iperf3 -c IP -R [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 21.4 MBytes 179 Mbits/sec [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 6.50 MBytes 54.5 Mbits/sec [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 4.38 MBytes 36.7 Mbits/sec [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 6.62 MBytes 55.6 Mbits/sec [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 9.75 MBytes 81.8 Mbits/sec [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 6.50 MBytes 54.5 Mbits/sec [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 4.75 MBytes 39.8 Mbits/sec [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 3.88 MBytes 32.5 Mbits/sec [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 8.00 MBytes 67.1 Mbits/sec [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 7.88 MBytes 66.1 Mbits/sec - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 83.2 MBytes 69.8 Mbits/sec 530 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 79.6 MBytes 66.8 Mbits/sec receiver ``` Many of the issues that I've seen around the I225-V have to do with power management and it dropping network connection after time - that is not an issue here.

Looking for a self hosted Dementia Clock
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a tool that could work as an internet connected dementia clock - that is displaying the time, time of day, date, and the ability to update the display remotely with reminders, notes, and messages. I have an old iPad kicking around, which could save us from [purchasing something like this](https://www.eugeria.ca/en/collections/horloges-et-calendriers/products/horloge-intelligente-idem-smart-clock). Thanks in advance!

Persona 5 Royal PC
Is there any reason why there don't seem to be any releases of Persona 5 for the PC? Anything I find is either Nintendo Switch or PS3 packaged alongside emulators. Does it really come down to the dramatic Denuvo cracker not bothering to have a go at this one?

Reverse Proxy SSL on Lan with Cloudflare Tunnels for external access
Hello! I finally decided to tackle a problem I've been putting off for some time, and got myself part of the way there but am now stuck, and hoping to find some assistance/information/nudge in the right direction. ### The Goal I am looking to have my services reached at the same url on both my internal network and externally (e.g. https://sub.domain.com). ### The Setup - Proxmox Host - LXC running NPM with its own IP - LXC running Docker with its own IP, and services each have a different port - VM for Home Assistant - SBC running Pihole + unbound The current workflow looks like: 1. Router points to Pihole as the DNS server for all network devices. 2. Pihole has local DNS records that redirect specific subdomains to the NPM LXC (I don't use a wildcard *.domain.com because some subdomains are hosted outside of my network, though they are outside the scope of this post). 3. NPM has Proxy Hosts that are set up using HTTP to the Docker services on the 2nd LXC. 4. Cloudflare tunnels are set up to point the same subdomains, when accessed externally, to the NPM LXC. As a bonus Cloudflare tunnels also handles the DDNS, zero trust (2FA) applications, and SSL. ### The Problem The current set up results in internal access taking place over HTTP while external access takes place over Cloudflare tunnels' HTTPS. This causes problems for some phone applications that require spelling out the connection type during set up, or even some applications that only allow access over HTTPS even when it's on the same network (looking at you Quillpad and Nextcloud Cookbook). ### The Ask I am not familiar with the steps that would be required to adjust my current set up such that all services accessed on my home network would connect over HTTPS. I am aware that external access over Cloudflare tunnels causes some wrinkles in using NPM's standard Let's Encrypt certificate & DNS challenge, which I believe means I need to use a certificate provided by Cloudflare. However, between Edge/Client/Origin/etc certificates, I am not sure what would get used and how that needs to be configured in NPM. Any advice, reading material, video walkthroughs, etc is most welcome. Thank you in advance for any help!
