Openvpn / pihole - change administration link in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] sleepybear@lemmy.myspamtrap.com 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

One way is to run Pi-hole’s admin interface on a different port. That’s configured in:

/etc/lighttpd/external.conf

Set:

server.port := 8000

Then your URL is http://IP:8000/admin

How to get servers to re-federate/re-subscribe after a time offline? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

I worked out this was odd behavior on my OPNSense firewall NAT rules.

For some reason some syncing worked (eg. beehaw.org) but new connections failed. I'm not sure why. Maybe established sessions were kept alive.

Those rules haven't changed in months and months, so I'll chalk that up to "weirdness".

Yeah, I’ve tried that a couple of times too.

And run through all the federation troubleshooting steps in the docs.

I thought that, and in the past I’ve been off for a day or two and always caught up.

This time I haven’t and it’s been a week or two since coming back online.

Hey all,

My personal home-hosted server ran out of disk space and so went offline while I was away and I didn't notice it for a week or two.

This meant that federation requests (or subscriptions requests) went offline and now most of the servers I'm federated with are lagging. I'm only getting updates from a couple.

Is there a way to trigger federated servers back to life so I get the subscription updates? Federation does seem to be working, given some servers seem to federate fine and this post was via federation and has worked.

Can't subscribe to a local community (lemmy.myspamtrap.com)

Hey,

On my local lemmy I noticed that after trying out Tailscale I borked my federation connectivity (at least I think that was it).

I've rolled back changes, but noticed that most of my federation updates aren't flowing, and I can't even subscribe to a local community.

However, I can subscribe to a remote one, but only one of quite a few I was previously connected to.

No errors in the logs, and everything seems to be working otherwise.

Any ideas of where to search?

That pending: 1 never clears. Not sure how to identify it.

This was posted through federation, from my local instance - so, obviously bits and pieces are working just fine.

What do you think about beeper? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

“For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the Beeper web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol.”

So, not really end to end for most common use-cases.
