Wazuh

I was originaly planing to try security onion but while reasurching it I came across Wazuh which runs on docker which I always prefer. Once I installed it using a edited version of the compose file in the github repository. I managed to install the agent on two of my servers however on my main proxmox host I didn’t understand that the server I was the ip of the main host not the server I was installing it on. This lead to a botched install I haven’t been able to fix yet. ...

Portainer Docker exec

One day when I tried to use the console section of portainer I got the error “Unable to retrieve image details”. After looking online I saw that I needed to update portainer so I started looking for the compose file and couldn’t find it. Well that was a bit annoying so I ran “docker run –rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/red5d/docker-autocompose …” which worked as expected. I then pulled the latest image and trimed the compose file. When I removed and restarted the container I was annoyed to see it still wasn’t working. ...

Wordpress https

This has for a long time been probably my second biggest issue with my homelab. My main website that your reading this on has been running on http. This happened because i use the domain keldo.uk which is also the domain I use for email. This ment I couldn’t route through cloudflare like everything else. My original attempt to fix this was with trafik but when I got as far as forwarding the website all I got was a white page. I presumed that nginx proxy manager would be the same however I was proven wrong when I tried today. ...

Ansible Install

I started by following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyOSoLn5T5U. Once i customised the compose file I managed to setup my first playbook. I decided to store playbooks on my nas for safety and the first one I made was a apt update. I then started tinkering with more complicated ones for proxmox and my dns settings. This is still what I am doing as proxmox is working through proxmoxer and if not exactly simple but I am happy with the progress I am making.

Don't delete random docker Volumes

It started when I was trying to install change detection. I was getting a error about not having space on the drive so I decided to delete some unused docker volumes. This lead to a new far more concerning error “mkdir /data/compose: no such file or directory”. After looking online I realised this could be bad so I decided to download a copy of passbolt and then reboot. The first thing I noticed was proxmox stopped working but I realised this was just my dns. The when I did a docker ps it showed that everything was starting fine. However when I went to Portainer it told me to setup a new install. ...

Broken mailcow

I began by trying to move my mailcow install from running on docker volumes to storing data on my nas. I started copying the files however after around the 5th volume I remembered the continers were still online. After I continued even finding a copy of the docker compose. However when I ran the compose I got serveral errors about mysql. I realised I had corrupted the mysql database. I tried several edits to the mysql files and failed. After that I went to launch the old copy and realised that was corrupted as well. ...

ICloudpd Notifications

The one feature of Icloudpd that I dislike is the requirement to constantly redo 2fa. I also would have no way of knowing when this is untill I set up one of the notification options. I decided since there was no smtp which would be my normal choice I would try out the discord web hook function which I hadn’t used before. The setup went fine untill I went to test it I restarted the container and got a notification that it started however, almost strait after that I got a message that it couldn’t access the folder that stored my photos. I re aplied the acl which fixed it but I need to find a away to re do the acl on a schedual.

SyncTrayzor

I have been using the default syncthing windows client for a while. However, the task sceudular setup had never worked properly and there for I had been forced to run it manually every now and then. Luckily I came across a reddit post that mentionted SyncTrayzor at first I thought it was a different software but then I found out it worked with my existing syncthing server. I downloaded the installer and ran it. It worked even better than expected as it managed to use my existing config with the only change needed was to add an allow newer config flag in the settings.

iCloudpd

I wanted to try and find a better way to backup my photos from my iPhone to my NAS. I had been using Nextcloud with the app on my phone to do this however is was slow and nextcloud pritiy much always ran so slow a page could take around 60 seconds to load. I had seen iCloudpd before as a application on TrueNAS and so wanted to try it out. I set up a docker compose and signed in. However I then started getting a message to create the .mounted file which I had already done. This prity much instantly told me that there was somthing wrong with my mount. However when I looked it all seemed fine so I was forced to ssh in and relook at the new mount I had made to my NAS. After some failed ideas I noticed that the mount only had empty folders in it. This finaly reminded me that my Photos folder was acutualy a dataset so I switched the nsf share to that and it started to run a backup. ...

Passbolt update

I began to notice issues when my passwords in the ios passbolt app when it was’t showing my passwords. I quickly found a range of posts about historical issues with ios 17 batas but as far as I could see they had been solved in app version 15 and I was on 18. The next step I took was to run the health check this found that I had two issues: my install didn’t force https which is fine because if uses cloudflare; and my install was very out of date. Updating is one of the big draw backs of docker in my opinion and while there was a page about updating on the passbolt website I decided to just figure it out through portainer. ...
