In this guide we’ll walk through setting up Tailscale’s experimental Identity Provider (tsidp) inside a lightweight Debian Proxmox container. We’ll create the container, install Go, build the binary, configure systemd with environment variables, and run tsidp as a dedicated user.
This is a very raw howto, copy paste ready, based on my attempts, target audience is homelaber. Comments welcome !
Read MoreI run an Intel NUC Gen 8 boxes (NUC8BEB, NVMe + HDD, 32 GB RAM) in my Proxmox 8 cluster (Issue is the same on PVE9).
I randomly hangs — sometimes in 15 min, sometimes after a few hours. No ping, no display, useless logs.
Recently migrated my homelab ESXi to Proxmox VE, and while things mostly went smoothly, one node would randomly hang (mostly during large transfers or under sustained network load but sometimes when idling...).
I plugged in a monitor to check logs and... confirmed the cause with a quick dmesg:
e1000e: Detected Hardware Unit Hang
Turns out this has been a known issue for years with Intel e1000e NICs (like I217-LM, I219-V, 82574L, etc.). These "aging" chips choke when offload features are enabled under modern workloads.
Read MoreSynology DSM won't let you use an SSD plugged into an eSATA port as a cache drive. A single bitmask in the system config decides which ports count as eSATA, and changing it lifts the restriction.
Read MoreWhile troubleshooting a malfunctioning radar system, I wanted to inspect its firmware for diagnostic tools (couldn't find any). The firmware was stored in a Btrfs image, which isn't straightforward to handle on macOS without spending some quality time with FUSE.
To "extract" its contents, I instead used a Docker container with the necessary tools, because it's quite easy to do on plain linux. Here's how.
Read MoreHere's a straightforward docker-compose setup for running WordPress locally on my M1 Macbook, with persistent data, mapped plugins directory, and custom PHP upload settings. I use it as a Dev environnement but should work for prod with minor changes.
Read MoreIf you're like me and have attempted to back up your Synology NAS to a friend's server for an additional offsite backup, you may have encountered some challenges in the process. However, connecting the two is actually quite straightforward once you understand the steps involved.
Read MoreThe only step here is to modify the GRUB configuration file to the turn screen off after a timeout. This file, located at /etc/default/grub on most Debian and Ubuntu-based distros, contains the kernel parameters that your system uses during startup.
By default, Proxmox PVE hosts cannot be backed up using Veeam Backup & Replication; you'll need to install the Veeam Agent to enable this capability. This guide will walk you through the process of installing the Veeam Agent on your Proxmox host.
Since Proxmox is based on the Debian 12 "Bookworm" distribution, you can install the Veeam Agent in a manner similar to any other Debian host.
Read MoreHere's a quick & deprecated way of installing kwindem GuiMods on your Victron ccgx or cerbo. The official way is called blind install and is documented in the repository but not verbose enough if anything goes wrong.
