How to change qBittorrent admin password in docker-container? [help] [solved] in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com 6 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

When I install qbittorrent via docker, I see this in the docker logs:

qbittorrent-1         | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201955254Z The WebUI administrator username is: admin
qbittorrent-1         | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201974066Z The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: H7ct3xPes

That's the default admin credentials for the instance. I can then change the login or pw in the UI.

Thanks for sharing about Backrest. I use Restic and Backrest looks like a great addition to it.

I should add the d.rymcg.tech includes step-ca if you want to host your own CA server, but I agree with @joe@discuss.tchnic.de : it's not necessary for securely hosting services, and ir can be dangerous I'd not done carefully.

I have a similar setup. I use d.rymcg.tech (a configuration manager for Docker, as well as a collection of open source web services and config templates) and have Traefik (reverse proxy) on a Digital Ocean dropet connected to a VM in my home lab through wireguard. This framework allows me to put authentication and authoriation in front of any apps/services I'm hosting (HTTP basic auth, oauth2, mTLS). This setup allows me to control what is allowed access from outside of my home, without opening any ports.

What GitHub alternative do you use? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I self-host forgejo. I'm not a heavy or advanced user, and it suits my needs. I barely use github any more: mainly to star repos I like, and find and use repos (there's a ton there - it's almost ubiquitous).

Link manager with browser plugin support in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I self-host xBrowserSync. It's a bookmark sync tool, not a link manager, but it does that very well (set-and-forget - it's almost invisible). There are browser extensions and mobile apps

I've also used Shaarli, which is more of a link sharing tool. Don't remember much about it, though - sorry.

[Guide] Increase privacy by using nginx as a caching proxy in front of a map tile server in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just learned about OpenFreeMap. I've not done it but it touts itself as a simple way to host your own tile server. I'm assuming that your proxy would work for a self hosted tile server with a few alterations.

I just learned about Waypoint to plan trips. Haven't looked at it yet but it sounds cool.

I think most of the other suggestions seem like a better solution than WordPress, but there is a plugin for WordPress that exports static websites.

Having difficulty visiting an mTLS-authenticated website from GrapheneOS [SOLVED] (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I host a website that uses mTLS for authentication. I created a client cert and installed it in Firefox on Linux, and when I visit the site for the first time, Firefox asks me to choose my cert and then I'm able to visit the site (and every subsequent visit to the site is successful without having to select the cert each time). This is all good.

But when I install that client cert into GrapheneOS (settings -> encryption & credentials -> install a certificate -> vpn & app user certificate), no browser app seems to recognize that it exists at all. Visiting the website from Vanadium, Fennec, or Mull browsers all return "ERR_BAD_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT" errors.

Does anyone have experience successfully using an mTLS cert in GrapheneOS?

[SOLVED] Thanks for the solution, @Evkob@lemmy.ca

Layered encryption? (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)
 

If we consider information to be safe if we encrypt it (e.g., text in a file, encrypted with modern strong encryption), would it be safer (as in harder to crack) if we then encrypted the encrypted file, and encrypted the encrypted^2 file, etc.? Is this what strong encryption already does behind the scenes?

Grrr! Stupid non-intuitive default settings! (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)
 

I got a new printer. Auto-discovered, added, and prints fine from Windows in 2 minutes. Auto discovered, added, and prints fine from OSX in 30 seconds. Auto-discovered and added on Linux, but trying to print results in "printer is unreachable at this time" - even after 50 re-installs, different configs, different drivers, different protocols.

I recognized that some computers were on different subnets, but couldn't figure out a pattern. It turns out that the printer has a setting called "Restricted Server List" and the default setting is null. Here's its description in the admin interface: "Comma-delimited list of IP addresses that are allowed to make TCP connections. Example: 157.184.0.0/24. where 0 is a wildcard and /24 is the network prefix."

It also has a setting called "Restricted Server List Options", set to block all ports by default. Here's its description: "By default, addresses not in the restricted server list will have all access blocked. When Block Printing Only is selected, addresses not in the restricted sever list will be blocked from printing only. When Block Printing and HTTP Only is selected, addresses not in the restricted server list will be blocked from printing and HTTP. "

Admin interface doesn't say this anywhere, but the default setting of no restricted servers apparently allows access from other networks, but not from the same network as the printer. I set the restricted servers to "192.168.132.0/24" and then I could access the printer admin web page and print to the printer from my Linux box, but not from any of the computers that were working before. So I set it to "192.168.0.0/16" and every computer on all subnets in my house can print and access the printer admin.

The default setting of no restricted servers was extremely non-intuitive in that it actually only restricted servers on the same subnet. And there was no such documentation.

What a crappy waste of 7 frickin' hours!

Question about DPOA and taxes (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)
 

I'm creating a Durable Power of Attorney, and I can choose whether to grant my Agent the power to deal with my taxes. My question is: does granting the Agent this power also make them responsible for my taxes? E.g., if I owed the IRS $100,000, would my Agent suddenly be responsible for paying the IRS $100,000 if I didn't have enough funds? Or if they made a decision that got me in trouble, would they be in trouble?

I don't expect legal advice, but I'd like to ask you not to share your opinion. I'm looking for something in between: anecdotes of your experiences.

Thanks for sharing!

FYI, here's the phrasing I'm currently planning to use, though this isn't set in stone:

In regards to taxes, the Principal authorizes the Agent to:

Prepare, sign, and file federal, state, local, and foreign income, gift, payroll, property, Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and other tax returns, claims for refunds, requests for extension of time, petitions regarding tax matters, and any other tax-related documents, including receipts, offers, waivers, consents, including consents and agreements under Internal Revenue Code Section 2032A, 26 U.S.C. Section 2032A, as amended, closing agreements, and any power of attorney required by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority with respect to a tax year upon which the statute of limitations has not run and the following 25 tax years;

Pay taxes due, collect refunds, post bonds, receive confidential information, and contest deficiencies determined by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority;

Exercise any election available to the Principal under federal, state, local, or foreign tax law; and

Act for the Principal in all tax matters for all periods before the Internal Revenue Service, or other taxing authority.
