I absolutely loved 2. I beat 2 before I beat 1, but went back and beat 1, and beat 2 multiple more times.

I can’t say I have an order, but I love:

• Kingdom Hearts 2
• Kingdom Hearts 3
• Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep

Those are my favorite from the series as whole.

I really couldn’t ever get into Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories or Re:Chain of Memories.

Back in the day, I bought Birth by Sleep and beat it, but wanted more; so there was an English Patch of the final mix for PSP available and beat that too. And when the collection came out on PS4 (Before the PC release) I went and bought a PS4 Pro just for KH collection. Which now I am going back and beating all of them again but on Proud.

I loved Kingdom Hearts 3 regardless of the masses saying otherwise. It’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it. I’ve been around since 1, all the way til it’s end.

I am not sure if there is a good way to do it without scripting, and a router that would allow for taking variable input from an external script. But theoretically if the router would support it, you could script a port change at times there are no one on the server.

Essentially the server port is in a text file, you could use some command line utilities, and write a script leveraging something like sed to change the port in place.

But I am overcomplicating it. lol

I tried using Bazzite since I didn’t want to fuss with Wayland on Nvidia with Arch.

I had more gripes and more issues with an immutable distro than I ever did with my Arch install.

Stuck it out with Arch. It has taught me a lot.

The problem many folks have with Arch is the fact they don’t want to read or learn; well, newsflash, if you read and learn Arch isn’t exactly all that hard to use, setup, or maintain. It has better documentation than Bazzite and other newer distros. In fact, Arch Wiki has saved me hassle for other distros.

Your mileage may vary. However, I wouldn’t recommend an immutable distribution nec3ssarily to someone coming from Windows unless they want to shift from one paradigm to another.

Switching from Windows to something with such a vastly different approach in many cases will turn users away from using Linux. Their experience can dictate they switch away because of lack of knowledge and then proced to conflate every distro as just one “Linux” experience and not want to look back at it.

I still stand by one thing you will always hear me say: use the right tool for the job.

I haven’t been big on the AI bandwagon, buty curiosity was piqued. I used AI to write an install script, and I am gonna test it on a VM. It’s quite robust if it works.

And I’m gonna hand rewrite it to be note modular instead of one script.

I have been wanting to write my own setup script for (re)installing arch on my systems. But I haven’t gotten around to it. Though this gives me some ideas how to do it. Thank you for sharing!

You didn’t calm down in your old age? Go shake your cane at some clouds in a different yard gramps.

Take a breather, walk away from the internet. Touch some grass. Go do something productive with your time instead of being an insignificant sad angry little person.

Have the day you deserve

Your comment is more useless than the meme comment you were responding to.

Don’t like something, scroll on.

Are you being pissy just to be pissy?

I will always recommend people to research their choice of distro. Use the right tool for the job.

What one person needs may differ from what another person needs. Take into account what the use case is for the machine you are using.

I use Arch BTW but I don’t run Arch for any of my servers. I use Arch where it makes sense for me.

I wouldn’t tell someone switching from Windows to just go balls to the wall and go for something blerding edge and arguably more maintenance or manual intervention needed.

I will give my suggestions but always implore them to research what theyt3 looking for.

Guess I won’t be playing Playstation games.

I haven’t gotten around to setting it up yet, but for a google photos type self hosted setup there is Immich which looks promising!

I want to self host more, but power draw is a concern.

So I have gone the route of running to Pi 4 8gb models as my hosts of choice.

So far I am hosting:

Non-Docker:

• PiHole
• Unbound
• Wireguard (and Wireguard-UI)

Docker:

• ForgeJo
• Dozzle
• Homarr
• LinkWarden
• Traefik
• Watchtower

There are a few other services I want to get up, but I haven’t gotten around to it:

• Jellyfin
• Immich
• Nextcloud

As to why:

• ForgeJo to host my own git repositories (Docker Compose files, Chezmoi dot files, Miscellaneous configs)
• PiHole for ad blocking
• Unbound, well, having my own DNS
• Wireguard so I can connect to my home network
• Dozzle for easy log checking for my docker containers
• Linkwaren so I can backup bookmarks in a privacy friendly way
• Homarr for easy access to other web services I host
• Traefik so I can resolve IP:port to a hostname with SSL certificates even though everything I host is internal only
• Watchtower to update my Docker containers

I will likely have to do some tinkering, and more reading up on this from the documentation I am thinking. I am getting HTTP 200 statuses basically across the board. When going to the FQDN it doesn’t redirect to the PiHole admin page like I was expecting. Again, likely some configuration that I have wrong.

Begrudgingly 2 of the 3 are Google email addresses, and 1 is a Microsoft email address. I will however be ditching both of those providers for something a bit more privacy focused soon and making those addresses burner addresses.

Shows in traefik, no errors there.

I hate to report back, but something isn’t quite working for pihole behind Traefik.

running “docker logs traefik” returns no error, and yet no certificate was presented to my pihole.

Not sure what else I might be missing or that I might have wrong.

I will give this a shot! Thank you for the help. I will report back, in hopes that between your knowledge and my fumbles that someone else too can learn from this!

so in my traefik.yml file I have cloudflare set as my certresolver as follows:

certificatesResolvers:
  cloudflare:
    acme:
      email: email@example.com
      storage: acme.json
      caServer: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory # prod (default)
      # caServer: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory # staging
      dnsChallenge:
        provider: cloudflare
        #disablePropagationCheck: true # uncomment this if you have issues pulling certificates through cloudflare, By setting this flag to true disables the need to wait for the propagation of the TXT record to all aut>
        #delayBeforeCheck: 60s # uncomment along with disablePropagationCheck if needed to ensure the TXT record is ready before verification is attempted 
        resolvers:
          - "1.1.1.1:53"
          - "1.0.0.1:53"

And I had to get the secret mounted via the docker-compose file.

So where you have:

tls:

        certResolver: examplecom-dns

Do I have to redefine all of the same information I did in my Traefik yml but in this separate config.yml?

(I did set it up in my traefik.yml and docker-compose.yml to mount and use this config, which I had commented out for later use.

Thank you so much for the help!

Edit:

Essentially I am trying to get my PiHole which is hosted on another pi setup with an SSL cert for local use only:

So in looking at your config I tried using:

http:
  routers:
    pihole-rtr:
      entryPoints:
      - https
      service: pihole-rtr
      rule: "Host(`ph.local.domain.com`)"
      tls:
        certResolver: cloudflare

  services:
    pihole-svc:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://<ip>/admin"

However when doing this error logs returned:

2024-07-08T15:04:27-04:00 ERR error="the service \"pihole-rtr@file\" does not exist" entryPointName=https routerName=pihole-rtr@file
2024-07-08T15:04:28-04:00 ERR error="the service \"pihole-rtr@file\" does not exist" entryPointName=https routerName=pihole-rtr@file

I am doing something very wrong… And feel a little lost.

Would the file provider configs live on the Traefik server, or would they need to be on the external service. Reading through this, and looking at the example configuration files doesn’t really seem to point that out. Sorry for the noob questions.

Trying to understand this, but the way the documentation is written is different than I am used to.

Thank you!
