  • Service monitoring

    Jump

  • I did it all in Node Red so unfortunately I can't share the automation, but I can point you at this HACS integration https://github.com/meichthys/uptime_kuma

    Set that up and all your nodes will be visible in HA then it's just a case of "if node X is off for X minutes" - "notify"

  • Service monitoring

    Jump

  • I think I'm a step behind you. I use Uptime Kuma for monitoring and it worked really well. Just have it running on a pi separate from my main machine.

    I worked out how to get it sending me emails when things are down and up, and now my email inbox is a fucking hot mess of notifications.

    So I've just this weekend integrated it into Home Assistant and set it to notify me when things are down for 5 minutes or more.

    My next step was going to be finding some way of integrating Portainer into Home Assistant so I can restart stopped containers, and maybe Proxmox so I can reboot VMs from HA. Not sure it's possible yet though.

    Ultimately I want to have HA send me a notification with actionable buttons with "reboot container" and "reboot VM" which, when pressed, will sort the issue out.

    However this will not help when one of my drives goes down. They're HDDs plugged in by USB3 which isn't great and my server is behind the coat rack so sometimes the kids just throw their coats on and it falls onto my server, which then heats up and goes silly.

  • 2 things, one of which has already been said

    Get an SSD and a usb cable for it. Boot off that. Be aware that not all cables are the same (have a Google for usb 3 SSD cables for home assistant before you buy one). There's a little song and dance you have to do to boot off ext SSD but it's not hard and doesn't take long (Google).

    That combo will eliminate the SD card issues in the future. But you also need to look into the Google Drive backup add-on. Get that for when shit goes down.

    With those two things you should be all set and eliminate this ever happening again. If it does you have a backup.

  • Self-hosted music streaming (and me giving up on it)

    Jump

  • I'll be honest and say that most of my self hosted music collection was pirated or ripped from CD like 20 years ago. I put it all on an iPod back then.

    I found the iPod gathering dust in a drawer when I finally got a car with a usb jack a couple years ago (yeah I'm not exactly laden with bags of cash over here) and recently pulled all that music back onto my newly set up media server.

    I have a Spotify family account I'm trying to phase out with resistance from the children.

    To support artists I go and see them when they tour and buy a ludicrously expensive t-shirt

  • If I already have a VPN always on on my system, do I need to set up a gluetun container?

    Jump

  • Yeah I know, I use Gluetun now, I was just answering OPs question.

  • If I already have a VPN always on on my system, do I need to set up a gluetun container?

    Jump

  • I ran a Linux VM and just had Mullvad app installed and always on, and that was all I needed

  • Yes

  • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

    Jump

  • Plex was easy enough to set up. I use plexamp on my phone but can access the Plex server via a browser, which includes my music

    Jump

  • So you're trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container?

    I don't use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port?

    If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever.

    Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files.

    Restart the stack and have 2 instances.

  • Finally got my server to work properly. (Routing with custom local domain instead of ports)

  • Hello again.

    I've gone through your steps outlined in this post now for LAN. I've made my own network name .crypt and added *.crypt to Adguard and pointed it at the IP address of Nginx.

    I've then gone and mapped my local services in Nginx. So radarr.crypt sonarr.crypt plex.crypt etc and mapped them to ports.

    Now what I enjoyed was that I had to map Adguard to forward to Nginx, but in Nginx I can use the IP address of anything on my network, not just on the host.

    So it's map Adguard in DNS rewrites to Nginx IP, then map the IP:ports in Proxy Hosts in Nginx.

    Now when I use my Tailscale exit node (that I have from Home Assistant) I can use those addresses outside the house.

    I have noticed it only works for the .crypt domains, and not .local despite being set up as well. I guess because .local is a special address it is harder to map to Tailscale.

    Anyway, it's working for me after following what you've done, I just did less in Tailscale because of the exit node

  • He's playing my Helldivers mate, I just worked out how to share my library. I've just managed to unlock the Patriot Exosuit but can't play with it because he's always on it now...

    Jump

  • This looks interesting, but I don't know if it can replace anything. I have Home Assistant dashboards and Homarr. Would be nice if I could have both in one place. But this seems to be a homepage replacement for news and YouTube, not local services.

    I'll have a play once I prize my son off Hell Divers.

  • Help a noob find what I'm looking for please. I have a bunch of IP addresses and I wanna give em names.

  • I don't know why you were downvoted for this, you're right and I figured this out for myself last night when I decided to try figure it out at 1.30am after 3 beers.

    I managed to get all my port 80 stuff sorted but my Arr stack for example needs something more, probably the dreaded nginx...

    I'm having a look at Caddy now because I've never used it before, Nginx I didn't like when I used it and I've recently heard the original developer has left the project and started a new one.

  • My 19 year old cat does this "scream" when we give her people-food. She carries it up to the sofa she lives on and screams. Apparently it's because she's "proud of her kill" and wants to show it off, but i think she's saying "Thanks human, we share"
