  • Oof. That's bad news. I don't have that bit of kit on my setup though. Luckily.

  • proxy_pass https://

    Thanks. I found it, but still borked. Need to do some digging. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K ...

  • Thanks a lot. Whereabouts do I add it to Nginx? Do I need to do this through the dashboard for the proxy host or is there something in docker that I need to add?

  • Ah, thank-you so much!

  • Yeah see I'm not even sure what the env vars are. I'm running it with docker-compose and the only alterations I've made to anything are to add my IP address to the config file in the trusted domains array. That's definitely where it needs to go because if I take it out then it flops hard.

  • If you've got a spare USB stick laying around then you could install Ventoy on it (https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html) and run Linux in a live environment. Just (1) install Ventoy on the USB (this will wipe it, btw) (2) download any live Linux ISO (Mint has one of these) and put it on the USB (3) change your BIOS boot order to USB first (4) reboot and select the Linux you want to test drive from the Ventoy menu. (5) When you're done, just shut down, unplug USB and reboot normally.

  • Docker makes it easy to set up and remove apps. Simply (a) create folder, (b) download/copy-paste the docker-compose template into the folder, (c) run 'docker-compose up -d' and watch the magic happen. And if you want to remove the image just do a 'docker-compose down' followed by 'docker system prune -a' and poof, it's gone (although this command will remove any docker container that's not running, so be careful! (Otherwise remove manually with 'docker ps' and then 'rm name-of-container'). I'm in a similar boat to you and my L2 now runs Plex (media), Immich (photos), Mealie (recipes), Kavita (books), OwnCloud (files), PaperlessNgx (important documents) and Joplin (notes). It also runs Nginx Proxy Manager so I can access some of these apps outside my network (you can grab free domains from duckdns.org), and the others I access via Tailscale for extra security (highly recommend looking it up). Enjoy your journey. It gets very addictive!

  • I reckon Kagi is the best search engine out there. It's paid though. Second I'd have Qwant followed by DDG.

  • Actually this fixed it. Thanks! They can access if I share it but NOT if I add them as a user and then share it. I had to delete them as a user first 🤷‍♂️

  • Even that doesn't work. I've made them an admin on the machine but they get a message saying they already have access to it. But ... they don't!

  • It's the Tailscale IP. I can connect to it no problem.

  • Yep. It says they are a member of my network. But no dice.

  • I'm not that tech savvy, and iDrive is cheap 🤣

  • Yeah I think it works on Fedora ok. I spoke to customer service, but they told me I was out of luck with Nixos.

  • Oh cool. For some bizarre reason iDrive ask you to email them to get the link for the scripts. But you can get them here: https://www.idrive.com/online-backup-linux-download So just download the scripts, install Distrobox, and pull the Debian 12 image. Then enter the Distrobox Debian and navigate to the scripts. Change the permissions (chmod a+x *.pl) and execute the account_settings.pl script. I think I got an error about perl, but I just installed it myself (sudo apt install perl) and carried on. I think I might have had another error at some point but I just ran it again and it all pulled through properly. And now my Distrobox is on my iDrive dashboard and everything works properly. Just remember that if you reboot you might need to go back into the Distrobox and execute account_settings.pl again, but because everything's already installed it will just ask you to login, and that's it - you're back online. Good luck!

  • Yeah, the personal backup and sync. Sorry, I didn't think to make it clear.

  • The scripts are loooooooong. And the main problem for me is that Nixos doesn't use the FHS, so it's difficult to use standard .deb files.

  • I didn't look much into this. I think (but could very well be wrong) that it only works with their S3/E2 packages. And I wanted all the config options provided by the official scripts.

  • Thanks to you I have today discovered Kavita. It's excellent!
