Navidrome & demo.navidrome.org [SOLVED] - Lemmy.World

I posted this over at https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/navidrome [https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/navidrome], but I thought I’d post it here, maybe someone has had experience with this. I’ve been noticing demo.navidrome.org [http://demo.navidrome.org] showing up in my firewall: pFsense: [https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/3829f59a-fe76-4fd0-b988-c8b8896f2dd3.png] abuseipdb.com [http://abuseipdb.com]: [https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/fd0b1738-8a21-4cfc-a996-36b109268c28.png] As with anything entering or exiting my network, I am cautious and curious why my instance of Navidrome has the need to contact demo.navidrome.org [http://demo.navidrome.org]. I am running Navidrome as a Docker Instance. I have combed my compose file and can find nothing in that itself that would trigger Navidrome to ‘call home’. Is this for stats, or other? As of right now, I have demo.navidrome.org [http://demo.navidrome.org] blocked until I’ve gathered some information. BTW, sweet piece of opensource software. I tip my hat to the dev team(s).

That’s interesting. I checked my logs and I only see a few hits for insights.navidrome.org but nothing for demo.navidrome.org. I’m on version 0.59.0 so I’m a little behind.

Yeah, I saw that, and maybe they’re using demo.navidrome.org as the collection point. However, I do not see insights.navidrome.org in my firewall. I don’t think it’s something nefarious, I just wanted to know.

It’s because of this:

$ dig +short insights.navidrome.org 209.141.42.198 $ dig -x 209.141.42.198 ; <<>> DiG 9.20.11-4-Debian <<>> -x 209.141.42.198 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 12665 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;198.42.141.209.in-addr.arpa.

In practice, demo and insights are on the same IP, whose reverse points to demo

Ahah! Ok that makes sense. Thank you so much for clearing that up. I guess I can now unblock demo.navidrome.org.
