I'm in the UK and my experience is that DPD are one of the better ones, never had any real problems with their deliveries and updates by email and app are great.

But I suppose, we have Yodel and Evri as alternatives and they are proper terrible so the bar isn't very high!!

I believe it is. What stands out to me is £1.04+ vat is not £1.45!!!

Out of curiosity, why have you decided to run each service in a separate lxc rather than just one lxc?

I am about to completely overhaul my set up and I'm not sure which way is best.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

when I run mount -a -vvv I get the following:

mount.nfs: timeout set for Tue Aug 8 16:14:10 2023

EDIT

I found the issue, it was me!! LOL I thought it had to be a setting I had forgotten and it was, I forgot to enable NFS & Nesting under Features in the Otions of the cotainer, see this image - https://imgur.com/bSiozKS

Thank you to everyone that took the time to reply and offer their suggestions.

Hi All,

Let me start with some basic basic background on my set up, I have a server running Proxmox with some Ubuntu containers. I have a separate server running TrueNas with a share that has both NFS & SMB set up. I can see this share in Windows 11 and read and write to it.

One of the Ubuntu containers is able to see this share via NFS and read and write to it too. I am testing Sonarr, Prowlarr & Qbittorrent Docker containers and got the basics set up, Sonarr can find episodes via Prowlarr of a TV show, hand it off to Qbittorrent to download and then move it from the download folder to the TV folder. Both the download folder and the TV folder are on the TrueNas server.

I then set up a Docker container for AudioBookShelf in the same Ubuntu CT and that can also read and write to the NFS share.

My issue is that I tried to set up another Ubuntu CT on the Proxmox server but cannot seem to access the NFS share on the TrueNas server.

This is what I did (which I think was the same process as the working CT)

  • 1/Create a privileged conatiner
  • 2/ Update and upgrade the CT
  • 3/ Install nfs-common
  • 4/ Create a directory in the CT in the /mnt directory for the NFS share
  • 5/ added this line to the fstab file in /etc 192.168.0.188:/mnt/store/test-share /mnt/test-share nfs defaults 0 0

However, when I run mount -a I get this error message mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.188:/mnt/store/test-share

Running df -h does not show the mount obviously but it does in the working CT

As a further test, I cloned the working CT, deleted all the Docker containers and I can still see the NFS just fine.

I have probably missed a step while setting up the new CT but I'm not sure what.

Can anyone offer some help?

I don't subscribe to Audible. 😳

I consume most of my books via audiobooks.

I'm just about to finish the final Expeditionary Force book, overall I really enjoyed the series, yes there were a few low points (we won't talk about the the audio drama one!) but I thought it held up well.

This is my list of upcoming books:

Thank you, I will check it out.

My Raspberry Pi's are named after planets and large bodies on the Solar system.

My servers are named after The Expanse characters and ships.

VM's and CT's after their usage with a tag in Proxmox for the OS used.

 

Andy Weir tweeted this fan-fic based on his book Artemis.

I found it an enjoyable read and it was good to revisit this setting. I know the book had mixed reception and is nowhere near as good as The Martian of PHM but I enjoyed the book.

 

I know it's a recently new set and hoping for discounts this soon is being optimistic, but 🤷‍♂️

It depends on how busy the roundabout is.

If it's really busy and there is a possibility of traffic backing up on either of the the two exits before the one you want to take then I'd be in the righthand lane on approach and move to the lefthand lane as soon as I'm past the second exit, getting in the lane marked A610 going under the bridge. This way you avoid possibly getting caught in slow moving traffic and adding to the back up.

If the roundabout isn't that busy then using the lefthand lane on approach would be fine and just staying in the lefthand lane all the way.

Roundabouts need to be as free flowing as possible, so use whichever lane is going to keep the traffic moving best.

I use a roundabout everyday that crosses a motorway and the traffic joining the motorway always backs up the slip road on to the roundabout at rush hour. Often people wanting to go "straight" over the roundabout get in the lefthand lane on approach and then get stuck in the backed up traffic which just adds to the congestion. I tend to approach in the righthand lane and move to the left once past the motorway exit. I've noticed that people tend to leave a gap for the traffic in the righthand lane to go through but will block the lefthand lane just in case someone sneaks in front of them!! LOL

Thank you again. Yeah, I'm trying this from home as opposed to a vps. It's more as a learning exercise than a serious instance.

I'm still going to try and getting it working behind my reverse proxy, like I say, as a learning experience.

[–] SonyJunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thank you so much for replying.

I think this is above my skill level, but I will have a read through your advanced configuration page and see if I can understand it.

Thanks again, but I think I'm going to need more than luck!! LOL

Hi @ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat

I must be doing something wrong here because unlike many others I can't seem to get this working! Please can you offer some advice?

I have amended the config.env file to change the HOSTNAME, SITE NAME and ADMIN USER but left everything else the same.

I then ran ./deploy.sh and everything seems to have worked because it presented me with the admin login credentials and basic instructions to shutdown and start the instance. I tried simply typing the IP address of the docker container in to a browser but that didn't work and TBH I didn't expect it to. I then typed the URL into the browser and I'm getting a "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" error message. I read through the trouble shooting on your Github but the only reference to too many redirects mentions a Cloudflare API token, I'm not using Cloudflare nut I am using nginx proxy manager to point my URL to the docker container.

I hope some of this makes sense.

 

Perez crossed the line with just enough time for another lap and the only driver to do so but failed to make it of Q1.

Was it due to the tyres being too cold from waiting for ages at the end of the pitlane or because he's not on form lately?

It seems that all the drivers that went out first all had slower times.

Do you think he would have done a better lap had he been able to complete it?

I have a Dell Optiplex 7060 MFF that wont boot, according to the power LED flash sequence it has a faulty motherboard.

The motherboard has a model number of IPCFL-BS 65W.

It had a decent i7 processor so I removed it and put it in a lower spec 7060 that I bought, I then installed the i5 from the other 7060 but it still wouldn't boot, no surprise there!!

I suppose I can do one of the following:

  • sell it as is for spares or repairs on eBay (the CPU (i5-8500T) has got to be worth at least £30 on it's own)
  • get a replacement MB from eBay or an AliExpress clone
  • try and work out what has failed on this MB and fix it (this is way above my skill level)

Anyone have any other ideas or suggestions?

 

Hi All, I'm new to the Fediverse but I'm slowly learning about it and it excites me. It has shown me that there is more than the big services to be enjoyed.

However, one thing I'm not sure on is how to following users across the Fediverse works. I have an Lemmy account on lemmy.world instance and I have a Mastodon account on mastodonapp.uk instance.

I have installed the official Mastodon app, I searched and found my Lemmy user account (@SonyJunkie@lemmy.world) in the app and followed it but when I post on Lemmy these do not show up in the Mastodon app or timeline. I tried @ing my Lemmy account from my Mastodon account and it obviously showed showed up in my timeline but I didn't get any notification on my Lemmy account.

Am I misunderstanding how this works? If so, please can someone explain it to me using words of one syllable or less!!

This is a great article about just how powerful these MFF PC's can be upgraded to and that you don't always need a rack mount or tower server!

 

Caught him mid yawn and it looks like he's shouting at me and wants to rip my guts out!! LOL
