solrize, in Alternative to certbot for acquiring ssl certificates to use with nginx.

I used dehydrated for a while. It’s a quite simple python script iirc. It’s on github someplace.

If your domain registrar is porkbun and you use their DNS hosting, they can generate wildcard certificates for you. It is pretty convenient though a little bit scary, since they generate your key pair and retrieve the cert from letsencrypt. But, since they run your DNS, they could do almost the same thing without you even knowing.

MigratingtoLemmy, in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

The only reason SBCs were ever relevant is because of the excellent pricing, which has now been matched by used x86 computers. That and if the SBC had an open-source design/implementation (open schematics on RISC-V)

cyclohexane,

Not just the pricing, but also the low footprint, tiny size and fanlessness.

Djtecha,

Low power too. I replaced a x86 server with 3 PIs in a k8s setup for about half the wattage.

You could not use the dns challenge?

Requires me to add cname record’s, which beats the purpose of automation honestly. Will most likelly move to caddy.

brygphilomena,

I thought acme or certbot could handle the DNS entries with an API call to your DNS provider.

It may require another plugin though. Googling some variation of certbot acme automate DNS challenge will give you a dozen tutorials.

Certbot has no support for vultr dns, not even with plugins. Already check.

brygphilomena,

Is there a particular reason you are keeping your DNS there?

crony,
@crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz avatar

Nice ui, and I already have a vps there. My main dns provider is namecheap but made it use vultr under the hood because of the nice ui.

brygphilomena,

Fair enough, just throwing that out there as an option to move DNS somewhere that does have API access for certbot to use.

constantokra,

Switching to porkbun would make things a lot easier for you. DNS challenge is why I switched from Namecheap, and it’s less expensive and considerably easier to administrate.

QHC,

Namecheap API works just fine with Certbot DNS challenges for me, FWIW.

joao,

Being a bit pedantic, and could be wrong, but wouldn’t that make Namecheap your registrar only, which registers whatever nameservers you give it for the domain you own with the relevant gTLD entity?

Yes

acme.sh seems to say it supports Vultr: github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi2#d…

cypherpunks, in Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

There is a version of VLC for the Nvidia Shield, but it has a somewhat irritating UI and I don’t know if it can actually read the menus like the desktop version can.

i_am_not_a_robot,

The Android version of VLC can play DVDs with menus, which is weird because the desktop version can’t out of the box for legal reasons.

MeatsOfRage, (edited )

Yea I tried this, I think the app versions of VLC only open single files, they didn’t port the open disc feature.

april, in Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV

Why not just convert them and save 20gb of storage space?

MeatsOfRage, (edited )

Space isn’t really an issue for me and I already have converted versions of these movies. For a select few all time favorites and discs where the full experience is part of the package (like the Criterion) I want to maintain the full bluray experience with all the special features and menus.

ramble81,

I like full menus and unaltered files without layering in additional compression. Also enjoy the extras which is why I get the BDs. Space is cheap in this day so I don’t care if it takes up more space. Quality and features to me matter more.

april,

Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.

It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.

    I don’t think jellyfin can open bluray discs can it?

    AbidanYre,

    Oh crap, sorry I missed the part about full discs.

    mosiacmango, (edited ) in Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV

    Kodi can play discs if you rip them directly, menus and all.

    If you already have plex setup, add the “plexkodiconnector” addon. It replaces kodis inbuilt, standalone media db with Plex, which gives some nice features like media sync between devices and intro skipping.

    Jellyfin can do this with its kodi plugin as well.

    MeatsOfRage,

    Can you explain a bit about Kodi playing the discs? I’ve been toying around with this all morning but can’t figure out how to launch the ripped disc. I’ve setup my network files and browsed to the folder with the ripped disc but there’s no way I can see to actually open the folder as a disc that I can see and googling this has failed me.

    mosiacmango, (edited )

    I dont personally use this feature, but I know it’s supported.

    I would try a different ripped format. They should be .iso files, which is a direct copy of the disc. Kodi will load them like a virtual bluray drive.

    This thread may also help you if you run into menu issues.

    MeatsOfRage,

    Thanks! I’ll give it a shot

    haui_lemmy, in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

    I have a pi which I use as an apple tv/firestick alternative which works very well and would be pretty pointless with a larger pc imo. Servers I dont do with small PIs but indeed old computers. I think all kinds of ultra movable devices will be good with PI and derivatives.

    For folks that want to get into it: pine64 is open source but I havent tried it yet. Thinking of it though. They even have a watch.

    possiblylinux127, (edited )

    The two things to keep in mind with pine64 is that they ship hardware before the software is ready and because they are less popular there is less support.

    I like there hardware but its just something to keep in mind. The good news is that to my knowledge all of their single board computers can run regular linux.

    haui_lemmy,

    Thanks for mentioning that. Iirc they use risc-v chips and linux supports it so it should work I guess. Will check it out.

    possiblylinux127,

    If you are unsure what to get definitely don’t get Risc-v as the user land software is not well supported.

    I would get a rockpro64

    haui_lemmy,

    I‘m hearing mixed things about risc-v. Its community supported. Do you have experience with the shortcomings?

    possiblylinux127,

    The main shortcoming is that the software hasn’t matured yet. Its true you could use Debian or Gentoo and get a decent machine but I would hold off using it for anything important. You won’t find Risc-V images on docker hub and flathub only barely has arm support.

    haui_lemmy,

    Got it. So except the OS, software is going to be pretty tough. Would that mean installing from source still works or not?

    possiblylinux127,

    It should

    haui_lemmy,

    Ok. Thanks. :)

    @JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

    I have a microserver and various pis ( zero w, 2x 3b+ and a pi b)

    With the exception of the zero w they are all still in action.

    The pi b connects to the pi touchscreen and displays photos from a directory every 5 minutes.

    The 2x3bs are running kodi to stream from my server.

    The zero w was a camera recording and streaming 24/7 but I stopped it as I wanted to do other stuff with it.

    cashews_best_nut,

    I kept buying Pi Zero Ws, hats and phats then put them all in a drawer cos I couldn’t decide what to do with them. I think I’ve got about 7 or 8. I really should do something with them.

    Holy shit!! I didn’t know I needed this. I’m so building some - thank you! 👍

    akrot,

    Link for the lurkers github.com/evilsocket/pwnagotchi

    Pwnagotchi is an A2C-based “AI” leveraging bettercap that learns from its surrounding WiFi environment to maximize the crackable WPA key material it captures (either passively, or by performing authentication and association attacks). This material is collected as PCAP files containing any form of handshake supported by hashcat, including PMKIDs, full and half WPA handshakes.

    shalva97, in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

    Don’t bin them, sell them

    possiblylinux127, in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

    Pine64 makes some cool devices that run on 100% free software.

    aBundleOfFerrets, in Best way to create my seedbox?

    qBittorrent and Proton VPN has worked well for me

    Haha,

    What do you use in terms of hardware?

    aBundleOfFerrets, (edited )

    an old LGA2011 xeon workstation. It is wild overkill (and not very power efficient) but it isn’t only a seedbox and it has as much PCIe expansion as I could ever want.

    possiblylinux127, (edited ) in Alternative to certbot for acquiring ssl certificates to use with nginx.

    You don’t need it to parse your config. Just set it to manual mode with a cron job. You can manually copy the certs with a short script.

    crony,
    @crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz avatar

    Hi already tried that, worked for one domain and then stopped working for every other domain.

    possiblylinux127,

    Oh, I just assuming it would be one or 2 domains, my bad.

    crony,
    @crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz avatar

    Yea, evem rn on the server I have about 13? or so domains, and still haven’t migrated all my services over.

    Update: I have moved to caddy, planned a switch either way and this just pushed me to do it.
