[Help] [Questions] About Gl-MT3000, AdguardHome and Openwrt
Hi there, i have a few questions about GL-Mt3000 and Openwrt. Context Wall fell free to skip: ::: spoiler spoiler I bought a year ago a Gl-Mt3000 and have been using it as a home router since then. It was fantastic, since the interface is really easy, i put all my iot on a guest network, my family cellphones on another and activated Adguardhome with little knowledge needed. Now, i wanted to start learning a bit more, so i decided to host the dns sinkhole (Adguard Home) by myself on my main network. I more or less got it working, it shouted a few errors but it worked. My problem is that the iot devices on the guest network can’t access it. Tinkering with the gl-inet interface i was able to proxy all dns request to the Adguard server, but since they are redirected from the router i lose the statistics since every query appears as if it was done by the router itself. From what i read, there are ways to make the udp 53 port reach the guest network but it flew a bit over my head, and i don’t know how touching luci will mess with the gl-inet interface. ::: Questions: Is there any benefit to host AdguardHome outside the router? I did it to learn, but i don’t know if it has any advantages. I plan to learn openwrt and flash the router to vanilla openwrt. My reasons are that: - I feel that im restricted by the gl-inet interface. - Gl-inet doesn’t seem to update too frequently their firmware. - I’m worried about their custom software will cause problems if i tinker Luci too much. - I think it will easier to learn the vanilla version than a custom version. Does all of this make sense? Do you think is worth to spend time on this?
When setting up a new DNS server at home, don’t forget the `systemctl enable named` to avoid a barrage of error messages and notifications after you reboot the machine running said new DNS server :)
Journey with self hosting for personal blog and fediverse
Hello, I followed the "selfhosted" instance on LemmyWorld in order to be able to talk about my experiences having them in order, without confusing criteria into Fediverse. Hoping they can be useful to others.
Current setup: Hostinger vps kvm2 plan, Debian12, YunoHost, Hostinger's docker manager installed.
Personal background: blind since birth, (I don't see), I'm mostly a computer power-user, worked and studied with ms-dos since 1989 until late 90s. Basic GNU/Linux knowledge in 2002, then interrupted in 2004.
I don't care talking about disability when discussing unrelated topics but it's necessary in this case as my needs are quite different from others.
So, I've been scared by self-hosting and have had shared hosting web sites until now. Until @_elena started self hosting her digital echosystem from scratch using YunoHost.
Due to lack of drivers I stopped with Linux on my private machine, drivers for the Braille display I had, and then the uneffective (at least for my need) screen reader capabilities on Linux's GUI based distros.
Finally in January 2026 I jumped in the dark after reading Elena Rossini's blog about YunoHost and having explored their demo pages. At the worst, I'll cancel the contract...
In the end I've managed to run WriteFreely, WordPress, CastoPod and GoToSocial, just by YunoHost; but if someone says terminal knowledge is not needed, this is a complete lie.
Where a system (such as YunoHost) can do the dirty work configuring postfix and nginx, I'll support it but it has its disadvantages: not every app can be installed through it.
For me it's very difficult to create and look after a config file on my own, it's frustrating for a sighted to miss a punctuation sign, an apostrophe, an indent. Let alone for me! A single space skipped, can crash a system.
A lie even saying that AI completely helps. It does solve some small, simple, immediate tasks but it has some mistakes as well. The so-called allucinations which create a real mess if you can rely on no personal skill.
Such as "sudo yunohost tools cert-install", or similar. AI wrote "cert-install" while the real command is "cert install"! A power user can get rid of it and correct, a beginner with no command-line knowledge, just copies, pastes, and gets scared.
My late attempt has been Madblog, a static markdown-based blogging platform with Fediverse activitypub in it, so I learned what Docker is and how it basically works. But I gave up, due to several timeouts and activitypub slow-downs. I think I'm going to use WordPress for blogging then. In case of comments it'll be more intuitive for non-fediverse folks.
Hopefully share others' experiences as well!
