Hi guys! What's the status of the Sipeed NanoKVM FOSS image? I was subscribed to the thread, and I even saw Jeff Geerling's comments. Eventually they claimed the whole image was open source, and left it at that. If you go now to their github, the last published image is from February, v1.4..0. But everyone talks about the last upgrade to 2.2.5? In fact, if I connect my NanoKVM, it does detect that update, but I don't think it's the fully open sourced version? Is this correct?

Anyone can provide a bit more detail on what's going on? Should I manually flash v1.4 that you can download from the repo? And if so...how do I do it?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

The same way I hold some VMs for some apps I might not trust well enough to share with the rest of my OS/partition, I'd like to be able to do the same, but with LXC instead, possibly reducing overhead (and perhaps increasing ache in the head). I was wondering if the GUI Virt-manager can do this? It seems after installing libvirt-daemon-lxc, libvirtd, libvirt-client-qemu I'm able to connect to the LXC daemon in my system. However, I'm not sure how to follow a similar process as perhaps Proxmox, to build a, say, fully blown ubuntu LXC from a template. How should I do this?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

I'm trying to re-compress a few TV shows that are mostly animation to some animation-friendly codec (HEVC 10bit, maybe even AV1), to reduce the storage it takes on the NAS (I'm looking at you, One Piece/Simpsons!). I've used handbrake with full folders to handle whole seasons of a TV show before, but that was a bit frustrating to run on my desktop PC, hence the install of Tdarr. However it's a bit...overwhelming with all the options, without quite hinting what each one does. I'm adding a...library. Ok, what's the library? Is it say, an -arr full TV Shows library? Or should I add one library per TV show (custom specific settings for each one?). How do I work...with the transcode options? I see it's all drag-drop, but I'm not sure of all these options.

I'd like to transcode to say, HEVC 10bit, reduce perhaps audio with Opus or AAC, and keep same tracks and subs. How would I go about this?

THanks!

Hi guys!

I'm considering moving away from duckdns, as it's becoming increasingly unreliable. I'd like to check some other free dynamic DNS alternatives (I'm open to suggestions!).

My idea would be to have the server run under two different domains, but both directing to the same services. Is this possible? What shoudl I change in nginx in order to answer to two different domains/names?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

I'm trying to create a WebDAV server that shares a NFS mount from my NAS. In short, I'm trying to create/share a backup folder in my NAS so my Graphene phone can run the backup.

How can I do this? All the guides mention about sharing /var/www/webdav and chrooting it. How can I share my own folder? Does it need to be /var/www/webdav? Can I share something else instead? Should I just link my NAS mount to /var/www/webdav?

Thanks!

Hi guys! I'm looking to monitor/control the power consumption of some old window-hanging aircon units, that don't really mind when the power is literally cut from the wall. I'd like to be able to see how much power they consume, and also being able to turn them on and off at the socket (the IR doesn't work all that well to begin with). I was checking about the Tapo P110M, but seems these are not sharing the power consumption offline, you need to register them in the app and they only do it through a Tapo account.

What alternatives do I have?

Important, I guess: As I live off an ex-UK colony here, we do have UK-like three pronged sockets, that's the form factor (Type G, I think?) I'd be needing.

Hi guys!

Back in the day I used to have a VM holding nginx and all the crap exposed...and I did set it up with fail2ban. I moved away from it, as the OS upgrade was turning messy, and rebuilt onto an LXC container. How should I use fail2ban/iptables in order to protect/harden my LXC container/server? Do the same conditions apply, or will I have any limitations/issues due to the container itself?

Thanks!
