I run F43 KDE on my desktop. I have an amd gpu and ryzen cpu. And I also experience weirdness with display connections.

I used a KVM to switch between my work laptop and personal desktop but since I use Fedora, I can’t. I cannot switch back to my desktop. The screen remains blank no matter what I do. I could not figure out if the underlying system is responsive or not.

When booting, it feels like there is a race condition between the gpu drivers maybe and something else. Sometimes I get no image after GRUB. The PW promt for LUKS would be the next step, but the monitor receives no signal and goes to sleep. Reboot fixes it, but sometimes 3 tries are needed.

I’m sorry, how many recipes do you need for air frying food? It controls temps and time. What other variable is there to warrant app connectivity?

Phone or walk up to helpdesk, they open one for you.

I have a domain registered that I use, just didn’t feel the need to mention it exactly. Hence why I anonymized my results. I did not change anything that would alter the troubleshooting steps, only the domain name and ip addresses are generic but otherwise consistent.

The domain and records are set up correctly on the provider end because I receive valid let’s encrypt certs for my subdomains through caddy. The issue is only with Fedora. I checked a live of ubuntu and fedora iso on a second computer. Fedora consistently cannot resolve the domains on the default configuration while ubuntu and anything else I tried can.

I just tried adding the local IP:Port and the app.domain.example to the /etc/hosts file as the examples show. Restarted systemd-resolved but no dice. Ideally, I’d like to make this family friendly and avoid having to make client specific configurations anyway. So far only I run fedora at home, so my device has this issue only. I am partial to the OS otherwise, so I was hoping I could solve this.

EDIT Sorry about that it dawned on my what you asked for really. From the resolvedctl results DNS Domain: domain.local would be mydomainname.local. Yes I kept .local in the search domain fields for most of my things. Is this something that matters, or could this be a workaround if I changed it to my actual mydomainname.tld? As far as I undertand this would work if mDNS was on. Not sure if LLMNR makes use of it the same way.

Thanks for the feedback! I am doing the opposite right now funnily enough. Trying to move away from having everything on Truenas as an app because of the host-app communication limitations. I have a bridge network set up but it still has its issues.

I’ll need to get some hardware to make this happen. At least to have a PCIe SATA controller I can pass through to a TrueNas VM so I can have everything on one physical host.

Nextcloud is on the list to try. For now syncthing was fixed up for filesync from my shoddy implementation of it yeras ago.

How’s your Nextcloud holding up now? I am undecided between a separate host vs the Truenas app. I heard that the TN app likes to break on update but I didn’t have the time nor infrastructure to test it thoroughly yet.

I used a lenovo x380 yoga with Fedora. I seldom used it in tablet form, but the keyboard appeared when swiping up from the bottom in GNOME. I did not like it as well as the windows one. I tried KDE as well, I had a better experience there as there are more config options for it. As for drivers and sensors like for the hinge positions, wacom touch stuff all just worked.

I had the same dilemma. It comes down to this in my opinion:

• Do you trust yourself and your current networking gear, software, security setup enough to host this yourself at home?
• Do you trust your vps providers tech stack, ethics, privacy policy etc. AND your own ability to secure it to host it on a vps?
• Do you trust Tailscale the company who’s in the business of “zero trust vpn” solutions to use their product?

I didn’t check if they were audited and if so how, but I went with the free Tailscale option, the most comfortable option for me now. Might change once I get more competent at the subject.

Since they are old, i would imagine the power efficiency isn’t the best on them for a 24/7 HA cluster at home. Unless you have an abundance of solar power or something. So I would use them as a test branch for whatever I want to do for self-hosting and learning

I would use them as learning platform for myself. Play with Active Directory DCs, replicataion, failover, recovery, networking etc. Just because more practice in that is what would be needed for advancement at work.

Others mentioned Kubernetes and Proxmox clustering. I could also use some sacrificial storage and compute to play around with those technologies so I could improve my self-hosted services.

I am finally in a position to have hardware running at home without it bothering anyone, so I cobbled together the hardware peaces I thrifted for over the years.

I played around with Proxmox and lxc containers, which are awesome, but not really useful for my usecase. I currently needed the essentials to get started and to finally have some kind of backups.

So TrueNAS scale it is. I got the ACLs down quickly, so the built in apps are no problem. But some things are not suited to be run as a built in app, I found. To avoid these headaches, I created an ubuntu server vm and a network bridge to allow for host access, and spun up those containers there.

I went for too little storage on the vm in the begiining (10G) so of course it filled up to the brim in a day. So I had to learn how to extend an lvm. Which worked only after I made some space available. It was so full, even mkdir failed.

…an espresso?

Very interesting! It’s tempting, but I can already see the “Major Change ticket” coming in for “Divorce” if I asked for tickets at home :D

Yes, well shopping lists worked similarly for us as well. Wife would send me a list on discord, and go by that. That might not need to change. I guess we’ll have to see for ourselves how things go what sticks.

I’m afraid of falling into the trap of having too many new toys to play with, so I’ll keep simplicity and tasks.org in mind! For taking notes for myself, I have Obsidian set up the way I like it. I must say, I under utilize that one as well. Joplin, I used in university some years ago. I should maybe revisit it to see if I find any use for it.

So far this is the sanest setup for my usecase. I was only looking at the AIO docker because I thought it would be easier to scale back, rather than up from the regular. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip! I wouldn’t have stumbled upon it by myself. Looking through their demo, it’s rather complex, maybe too much for what I need. The price seems fair tho. With the source being available I’ll consider trying it.

I’m not too keen on chosing names so I’m happy that I could
