Something like Sonarr but for Youtube? in c/selfhosted

I second this. Tube archivist is amazing and it integrates well with jellyfin

Cathedral modding is also similar in ideology to the Unix style of software development.

Each piece seeks to do its job well and without coloring too far outside the lines so that many pieces can come together to satisfy the users needs.

Why use Named volume vs Anonymous volume in Docker? in c/selfhosted

[–] theRealBassist 4 points 1 month ago

Ok I did not know about this at all. I've been just mounting it on the host which has been a bit of a pain at times.

I just did a massive refactor of my stacks, but now I might have to revisit them to do this.

Fantasy books with an interesting "soft magic" system? in c/[email protected]

[–] theRealBassist 2 points 2 months ago

Honestly Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas fits. It's more a medium magic system, if that makes sense. Instead of not clearly defined rules it more just has ever changing, very simplified, rules.

Friend of mine maintains COBOL for an insurance company. He lives on the opposite side of the country from his business, and is only on call one weekend a month.

Dude got hired before he even graduated, getting paid 70k, and gets to live wherever he wants.

I would kill for that lol

Upstream Linux Developers Take Aim At TUXEDO's Out-Of-Tree GPLv3 Drivers in c/[email protected]

I use TuxedoOS on my desktop at home and it's been great there as well. Can't recommend it enough.

What distro do you use and why? in c/[email protected]

[–] theRealBassist 1 points 3 months ago

I use TuxedoOS. I wanted something that kept up with the latest KDE updates which ran a cleaned up version of Ubuntu... that's TuxedoOS to a T. I had looked at other options like Kubuntu or just installing KDE over something like PopOS, but TuxedoOS was the most stable and up to date of those options in my testing.

That said, I have run into innumerable problems on it due to apt repos that it doesn't include which come standard on Ubuntu.

Yea I gotta agree with the other comment. This is just the same point worded differently over and over. Also why even bother with the AI script, probably AI generated video and AI voice?? Like why even bother making it in the first place?

Can't get crontab to run backup script properly (self.linux)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by theRealBassist to c/[email protected]

21 comments fedilink

Hello everyone!

I'm running a few different services off of my Ubuntu VM on ProxMox, and they've all been running great for about 6 months now. However, I'm trying to setup some better backups and such of individual services, and I wrote a bash script to do that for me and delete older backups once I accumulate enough.

All of that works 100% fine. Like absolutely no issues with the script when I run it myself. However, I can not for the life of me get crontab to run it.

If I run sudo ./folder/directory/backup.sh then everything runs perfectly. However, if I setup my crontab with 0 * * * * ./folder/directory/backup.sh I get absolutely nothing.

I have also tried setting the crontab with sudo, sh, sudo sh, and both combinations without the dot in front of the path to the shell script.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thank you so much for any help

Update: I have edited /etc/crontab with the following 0 * * * * * root /mnt/nas/freshrss/backups/backup.sh. After waiting for the crontab to fire off, nothing happened. Still not really sure what's going on.

PFSense: Can't ping physical devices on network, but can ping virutal machines? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by theRealBassist to c/selfhosted

So, I am running ProxMox with PFSense virtualized on it, and I am having some issues with SSH and Ping access between my physical machines and the rest of the network. The two computers are running into an unmanaged switch before then connecting to the NIC port that is set as the LAN interface.

As the diagram attached hopefully helps demonstrate. The only problems are running between the two physical devices, and from PFSense to the two physical devices. The physical devices can connect to the virtual devices, and they can connect to PFSense just fine via SSH and can ping PFSense, but PFSense can not ping back, and PFSense can not SSH into the physical devices.

This whole mess is utterly confusing to me, to be honest. I still am very much a novice when it comes to PFSense as I only swapped to it about a month ago, but hopefully someone here will be able to help!

Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. I am sure that this post is a bit confusing, but hopefully I can clarify in the comments!

Edit: Thanks to Starfer I fixed the issue! I errantly left Windows Defender on!

Just started R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf trilogy. Absolutely love it! (self.books)

While I've always been a big fan of fantasy, I've often stayed away from certain areas (like D&D books) as they can get waay too campy waaay too fast, but these books are just great!

The pacing is great. Not too much world building, just enough action (both emotional and martial), and no over-the-top cringey material lol. Just an incredibly relateable story about "otherness" and finding your way in a world that can feel hostile to your ideas. It's something many can relate to in 2023.

I highly recommend for any D&D or general fantasy fans!
