It’s Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I’ll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn’t want to forget the post again.

    Tried to setup custom domains using Nginx Proxy Manager and Let’s Encrypt DNS-01 challenges so I wouldn’t have to open any ports and it worked!.. except not really?

    Proxy Manager shows everything was successful but the domains don’t go anywhere. It seems to be because the TP-Link router from my ISP does DNS Rebinding protection… with no option to turn it off apparently… why…

    So now I don’t know where to go. I’m not really fancying hosting DNS myself but if I can’t fix this any other way then I guess I’ll do it. Or maybe I should ditch the ISP TP-Link and get something I could flash OpenWRT on?

      Is the ISP supplied box also your wifi?

      If not, IMHO I’d use the ISP equipment as a pass-through modem (if possible on that model?) and have a separate OpenWRT / pfSense firewall do all the heavy lifting for DHCP, DNS, ad blocking, etc

      Depends if you’d then need another WAP, of course

        It is also my Wifi, yeah. I didn’t even consider that’d complicate things further. It does have a “pass-through” option though.

          Presuming you can put OpenWRT on it, it’ll be fine as a single box

          IMHO, I just prefer having it all as separates and then fix / change / upgrade parts as I go - but I soon run out of places to hide them
