Ah yes that makes sense. I was taken aback by my latest install of freepbx. I feel it wasn’t as aggressive during the Digium days but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

I heard good things about free switch, although it seems like a paradigm change. I’ll have to check it out.

Interesting - why avoid asterisk?

I looked into fusion to play with but I’ve been using asterisk casually since like the 00s with no issues.

Excellent! Nice work.

I don’t know what dns rebind is but once DNS A records are pointed to the right place then it’s just a matter of setting up the rest of your stuff.

Is that expected? Otherwise check to make sure DNS settings for the domain are correct (eg ns records dig NS example.com IIRC).

First off - you don’t explicitly say so I just want to double check - you’re not using example.com as the actually domain correct?

If not the next thing to do would be to check out what DNS is doing. You can use the dig command to see what IP address is being returned for the domains you’re trying to hit.

dig +trace may be useful as well.

When you copy /home make sure you get the “hidden” files. They start with a “.” and some programs ignore them by default. That’s also where most configuration files are.

Check out rsync -avz

I like monit. It’s simple to setup and pretty flexible.

Not a particularly helpful comment but I struggled with this kinda thing until switching to Node Red. It made complex things much easier to get working.

There’s nothing really bad with PiHole but I moved from it to AdGuard, both on proxmox. The UI brought me in, makes management a bit easier. It also supports DoH right out of the box.

Try em both. See what you think.

I don’t know for hosting but if you want to get something running quickly Hugo has theme support:

Otherwise you could whip up a few html pages and use tailwindcss to help make things look a little nicer.

Or just do everything manually :)

Can you use json_attributes instead of the state for the value?

Give this a read for some ideas:

I just spent a week evaluating all the popular choices to document an overlay network I’m standing up. All I want is a simple markdown interface to write notes in. My goal was something with a very simple UI, markdown, and very light weight.

MediaWiki, Bookstack, and WikiJS (or JSWiki) were good but they were too much for what I needed. I ended up with stumbling on gollum and really like it. It’s very very simple, fast, and clean. I wrote a one line cronjob and now I’m backed up to gitlab.

There’s already a command for it:

Oh cool man. Thanks for checking back in. I probably sat on this decision for a 2 or 3 weeks and about 2 years later I’m still happy.

Just the other day I went out my side door, and in the front. Didn’t have any phone, fob, keys, etc on me and the front door was locked. I was able to get in no problem and I thought to myself…man if I had a fob like I wanted I would be waking back around the house…so glad I got this thing lol.

This isn’t a railroad car. Deadheading on aircraft mean the company is getting you from one place to another. You’re on the clock, on duty, and generally must be provided a seat in the back.

Jumpseating (usually for commuting) is when you travel on your own time, own dime, typically done before or after a trip. You may be provided a seat in the back, but if there are none you may be granted access to sit in the cockpit jumpseat. You are on duty when jumpseating and considered part of the crew.

Deadheading means you’re in the back of the plane. He was jumpseating, most likely commuting.

Auditing is nothing more than reading the code. Give it a read and make sure you understand everything it’s doing.

This is a great lesson on trust as well. I can tell you I did an audit and it all looks good but does that really have any value?

Huh…so there’s currently no open source search engine out there? I see a few crawlers, and some UIs the crawlers can use but no one project consolidating the two.

Im curious to see what gets recommended here. I went through the same thing with about the same requirements a year or two ago and came up empty handed.

I ended up with a Schlage Camelot and am super happy. I really wanted RFID because I thought using our phones or a fob would be super convenient but in reality the most convenient way to enter is to just put a code in. You don’t have to bring anything with you, you don’t have to fish something out of a pocket or bag, just enter your pin, spin the dial and you’re in.

You alluded to this already but ESP32 et al is really awesome but they (and arduino) are microcontrollers, not mini pcs like a raspi which have very different purposes.

You CAN run a webserver on a microcontroller but you’re essentially writing a program to do so. On a raspi you’re installing a full OS and then installing apps (nginx, Apache, jellyfin etc).

Conversely raspi has GPIO which can be used to easily interface with electronics just like the ESP32 but now you’re stuck maintaining a whole os to make your LED blink.
