Navidrome & demo.navidrome.org
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).
Network Security Audit
Weird Internet Behavior Starting Selfhost Server & PC's
Weird Internet Behavior Starting Selfhost Server & PC's - Lemmy.World
Every morning, I do a multiple DNS Leak test just as a precaution. Today, I did the leak test and all my IPs were different. They were the same IP block, just different. This made me suspicious and I set about trying to track the problem down. Turns out, there was a misconfiguration in the VPS. Worked yesterday, different today. I guess it was ghosts or gremlins in the machinery. I got to thinking, for you guys who download a lot of Linux ISOs, might be a good idea to check daily. Even though you are setting behind a VPN, it’s still worth the minute it takes to fire off multiple DNS Leak checks just for a sanity check.
ISO Audio Duplicate Finder
ISO Audio Duplicate Finder - Lemmy.World
I don’t know if this is the right place, but I figured the Hoarder Community would have a good idea on software. I’m looking for an app that will scan an audio library and pick out duplicates. It has to do this by some other means than a mere filename, file size or audio tags. Ideally it would use all of those criteria, and do an audio analysis. I do have all my music sorted, collated, and tagged correctly tho. Opensource would be awesome. Baring that, Free is also acceptable. LOL 'presh
ISO Homelab Power Saving Methods
ISO Homelab Power Saving Methods - Lemmy.World
In an effort to make the homelab more environmentally friendly, I have started to explore ways to conserve energy consumption. I always see a lot of considerations for choosing equipment that sips power, but other than avoiding enterprise power hogs and very old equipment, I don’t see a lot of advice in how to tame the server(s) you may already have. So far I’ve looked at: - TLP: Adjusts CPU frequency scaling, PCI‑e ASPM, SATA link power‑management - Powertop: Used to profile power consumption and has a tune feature sudo powertop --auto-tune - cpufrequtils: Used to manage the CPU governor directly - logind.conf: Can be used to put the whole server to sleep when idle Since I am the only user of my network, and since a lot of times the server sits unused until I want to engage maybe listening to my audio collection via Navidrome, or perhaps I’m working on some automation in n8n, et al, there’s no need to be at max power 24/7. So besides just powering off and on the server, which would work but not be quite as elegant of a solution, are there other ways you have come across, read about, deployed on your own server?
HomeLab & Selfhosting Books
HomeLab & Selfhosting Books - Lemmy.World
I’ve read ‘The Home Lab Handbook: Building and Managing Your Own IT Lab from Scratch’ which I would recommend to anyone just starting out in selfhosting and homelabing. Relative to that, I found a ‘course’ online (https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/#table-of-contents [https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/#table-of-contents]) that would also be useful for new arrivals. Anyone reading any good HomeLab & Selfhosting books lately?
Help With Selfhosted Homelab Network Issue
Help With Selfhosted Homelab Network Issue - Lemmy.World
For the past 3 or so months I’ve been noticing entries in Suricata that concern me. Maybe they are benign, but figured I’d throw this out there and see if anyone has/is experiencing this. There is a pattern to these entries. All of them are listed as 'PROTOCOL-ICMP Destination Unreachable Network Unreachable'. But it’s like there is a cron that fires this off once every hour and 5 +/- minutes. ::: spoiler spoiler 12/13/2025 16:55:02 12/13/2025 15:50:01 12/13/2025 14:45:01 12/13/2025 13:40:01 12/13/2025 12:35:01 12/13/2025 11:30:01 12/13/2025 10:25:02 12/13/2025 09:20:01 12/13/2025 08:15:01 12/13/2025 07:10:01 ::: These ip ranges are usually from China, Romania, and Singapore. The biggest ‘offender’ being China: ::: spoiler spoiler 203.119.27.1 was found in our database! This IP was reported 11 times. Confidence of Abuse is 1%: ISP China Internet Network Information Center Usage Type Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit ASN AS24406 Hostname(s) c.dns.cn Domain Name cnnic.cn Country 🇨🇳 China City Shanghai, Shanghai ::: Thing is, these ip’s are usually what I consider ‘clean’. Not a lot of abuse reports. On the surface, I know what 'PROTOCOL-ICMP Destination Unreachable Network Unreachable' means. Pretty self explanatory. What I’m trying to figure out is the why part. I have gone through my logs, monitored for any calls to these ip’s from inside the network, and I come up empty. Nothing within my network, whether server or other devices, is requesting data from these ip’s. I have no cron set to do such on a hour and 5 minute interval. So I’m left wondering, is this normal network chatter? Perhaps scraping attempts? Or perhaps breach attempts. So, I sit at the feet of the network experts to be schooled and see if I have something misconfiguration, or if it’s nothing to be worried about, or what the devil is going on.
ISO Opensource, Selfhosted, Web Trends Monitor
ISO Opensource, Selfhosted, Web Trends Monitor - Lemmy.World
Looking for a self hosted, web search trends monitor. I have looked at Plausible Analytics, OpenSearch, Matomo, and some other website analytics platforms, but I’m not necessarily wanting to monitor a specific website(s). Rather, I want to monitor what people are searching for on the internet. Is such a thing possible?
!@$& Homelab Networking
!@$& Homelab Networking - Lemmy.World
LOL Not really, but boy it has been a day. Started at 7:00 am and I finally resolved (?) the issue. In fact I’ve got through every last bit of my network, and at this point in the evening, I actually don’t have a solid reason why the issue was present. Something in my VPN settings glitched, or something got triggered on pFsense and got hung up…something, something with Tailscale. It wasn’t CLoudflare this time. LOL You ever do so much to a problem that when you ‘fix’ it, you have no real idea what the fix truly was? You ever have a problem and find all the shit you cobbled together in the name of ‘just get it running and back online’? I did, and decided that I would fix that shit too. It took all flippin’ day. You guys that do this for a living…I salute you! jebus crispies!
