Thank you, that’s actually quite informative. Gives me a good idea of what could go where in terms of my setup.
So far I recreated my RPi DietPi setup in a VM but for some reason Pi-Hole + Unbound combo is now fucking with my internet connectivity. It is so weird, I assigned it a static lease for the old RPi IP address in OpenWrt and left all the rules in there intact and you would think it would be a “drop-in replacement” but it isn’t. Not sure if Proxmox has some weird firewall situation going on. Definitely need to fuck around more with it to better understand it.
Self-hosting be like ^^
I think I had issues similar to that. Perhaps the PiHole is running a conflicting DHCP server? I have my own set of weird issues.. Bad connectivity so I need a WiFi range extender, but it's not a true extender and has its own IP address, acting as a router sometimes and not forwarding DNS queries to the main router.. That, a lack of NAT loopback functionality, a lack of changeable DNS settings and the AdGuard Home apparently taking precedent in that side of the house, and I have a cocktail of connection issue bs lol. The main router can DNS perfectly fine, but if I'm connected to the extender I have to add DNS rewrites to AGH.. which works for most services..
The journey is largely about overcoming obstacles aha, and the reward for doing so.. Hope yours goes well!
To piggyback on the permissions hissy fit-
My aar stack, openmediavault, and transmission stack have different usernames mapped to the same uid and it is a pain in the ass. I "fixed it" by making a NAS group that catches them all, but by "fixed it" I really mean "got it working"
So be aware of what uid will own a file and maybe change it to a uid in the 1100+ range to make NFS easier in the future.
Yes! This.
I have one machine for network sharing storage and thus a user for login and r/w powers. The same storage is used by other machines to save the files, and so each autonomous user for CCTV and qBitTorrent needed to have the same UID as the Samba login, so each program had rw permissions.
And those containers had to be privileged iirc in order for each root (UID 0) to access the shared storage properly. I may be wrong though
