Dark or light mode? Which one has your preference? in c/androidthemes

[–] TheOldRepublic 1 points 6 days ago

Normally I 'd go for night mode, but in this case the light mode is a bit better in colirs

Looks nice at first sight. I'll definitely check it out thoroughly. I think it's exactly what I need. Thanks.

Sorry to not tell that, the plan is indeed for doing this in node red. I only want an example to put me on the right track and thought maybe someone else had something similar.

Notification system in c/homeassistant

Notification system (self.homeassistant)

Does anyone know if there are examples like this. I want to get a notification system in HA. It needs to be able to send the right notification at the right time on the right device.

For example, when the dishwasher is done, it sends a spoken notification to the nest hub in the kitchen, that is if the TV is on. If the TV is not on, but the computer is, it needs to send that notification to the computer room. At night it needs to hold the notifications and send them to the phone of the person that is the first to wake up. When we are not at home, we all get the notification on our phone. Also, when the dishwasher is emptied and the other person ticks the notification f.e.), and there's still a notification on a phone, it needs to disappear.

This is only one example, there are more things that can have a notification (another one could be a home greeting message), but it needs to be a system.

[seeking solution] self hosted search engine in c/selfhosted

Instead of a 'normal' search engine, you could take a look at a Gpt like replacement, maybe there is one that also protects you your privacy, and it can certainly be used to find what normal search engines could find

Bad gateway at some sites (self.cloudflare)

Hi

New at using cloudflare. I’ve setup a tunnel to access my docker servers running at my home. Problem is that some of them don’t run at all.

For example: I have jellyfin.my-domain.com, http, works fine with the correct server ip 192.168.x.x, but if I try a docker container from another server, vikunja.my-domain.com, also http, doesn’t work with the correct ip 192.68.x.x. I also tried the docker name (http://vikunja:1234) with and without port number (both with ip and uri). It gives me an Error code 502: bad gateway and the logs of the cloudflared container (running on the same docker instance) gives me "The service may be down or it may not be responding to traffic from clouflared". I should also point out that the container works when my tailscale vpn is running (so locally it works). What could be the problem here?

What are the best customizable routers nowadays? in c/selfhosted

Old computer, or Raspberry pi with proxmox and pfsense on it. The positive thing is that you can run other servers as well (pi-hole for example for network wide blocking ads)

Is there a A/MX records tutorial? in c/nostupidquestions

Sorry for the late reaction. I found a solution in cloudflare tunnels. Works, and easy enough to understand.

I discovered this one too. Don't care about the downside as long as it works and is easy a ough to do...And it is, worked right out of the box. The only problem I have now is that my website (hosted on the servers of a domain provider) is not accessible anymore. Tried to redirect to the correct ip, but it's not working. I have an nginx server too but for some reason that ip is also unavailable, while the one from my jellyfin (which is on the same proxmox) is 🤔

It's been a few months now, so I guess I could try it again

[–] TheOldRepublic 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So if I want to go to www.mydomain.com/pihole to go to my pi-hole instance, I would create an A record containing the internal IP of pi-hole and an MX one to configure the subdomain (www.mydomain.com/pihole), is that correct?

Lots of servers running. Main System is proxmox. I have an Ubuntu server running on that with docker installed which runs about everything (pi-hole, nginx, jellyfin, radarr, sonarr, (even) Firefox, and more). So end goal would be to go to www.mydomain.com/pihole to access pihole, to www.mydomain.com/jellyfin to go to jellyfin and so on.

Is there a A/MX records tutorial? (self.nostupidquestions)

Hi

Currently I'm running a few servers at my home and I own a domain. I'd like to access those servers from outside my network (right now that happens through a VPN) but I don't know anything about A records and MX records and as I understand, that's what's needed to do this. So would there be a tutorial that explains this like I'm 5 years old?

I use both. I like Linux better, even more since W10. It's spyware, crap, all those nasty things. But hey, I'm a pc gamer and, sadly enough, my games (80% of them) all get funcky in Linux (wine, playonlinux,... I tried it all), so guess I'm stuck with the crap. But again, Linux is far better and superior
