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. ...

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.

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.

I wanted to setup a more simple shareable alternative to VMs. Kasm was a great option which I was very excited to try. I began by setting up the normal docker compose with my normal bind mounts. However it kept getting stuck in a loop after accepting the terms. So I had to switch to a full install on a vm. After that I followed the stock install guide and it all went fine. I setup the workspaces I wanted and they installed fine. However the other issue I ran into was when I tried to add ssh to a vm. No matter what I tried it just wouldn’t work so in the end I decided I could just use the Ubuntu workspace and manually ssh in.

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. ...

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. ...

The first thing I noticed was wrong was that my Iphone was giving me a pop up telling me it could verify the identity of mail.keldo.uk. My first though was that the ssl cert had expired but as far as I knew Mailcow should automaticly refresh the cert. Luckily it was easy to debug as Mailcow has a nice selection of logs and I just open the acme logs and Imedialty saw the issue “mail.keldo.uk - Found AAAA record for mail.keldo.uk: 2a00:23c7:82c2:6401:be24:11ff:fe6d:10fa - skipping A record check” was apearing every hour. I setup ipv6 records when I set up mailcow however since I have a dynamic IP and haven’t set up a ddns for ipv6 it was seeing ipv6 skiping ipv4 and then seeing the ipv6 didn’t match. The simple solution was I just removed the ipv6 record and then the next hour it was fixed.

It began when I checked my emails and saw a email from TrueNAS it told me that one of my drives had failed and the pool was degraded. When I investigated I saw that the drive only had 13 errors but since I had 6 drives I wasn’t using I decided to swap it out I passed through another 2 drives and began the replacement tool. It took around three hours but went smoothly with the pool up the entire time. ...

For a addition to my cyber security home lab I added a metasploitable VM. I made a VM with weak specs (but it should be fine) and then downloaded, unziped and converted it then just added it to the VM. I made sure to put it in VLAN 30 then booted it launched and I could access the UI. I look forward to practising with this.

I began by changing the command to a docker compose it was easy apart from a random *.zim that was at the end. I just skipped over it and presumed it would be fine but there was no url so I thought I needed a zim for it to share so I downloaded all of Wikipedia which took around 1 hour so not to bad but after a restart there was still no page. I returned to that random .zim and after some googling and trial and error I found I needed to add the line “command: ‘.zim’” after that it worked fine and I added ask Ubuntu as well.
