hostapd. I have no idea how you’re supposed to figure out the 50 or so options OpenWrt outputs for an AX card that I just ended up copying. And why doesn’t it detect those on its own?

Nextcloud requiring me to set the actual domain when I just want to run it locally was pretty frustrating

Getting Keycloak and Headscale working together.

But I did it after three weeks.

I captured my efforts in a set of interdependent Ansible roles so I never have to do it again.

Jellyseer in docker. It won’t accept my jellyfin login. It just spins and spins. But I plan to use it locally. And everyone says you have to sign in initially not local? I don’t know. I’m annoyed with it and gave up for now.

I think this means it can't actually see your jellyfin instance, you need to use your computer's local network ip instead of localhost if the two containers aren't in the same pod via a docket compose file. I've had this issue before.

[-] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Nah. It’s on the same docker compose file through portainer. And I’ve been using the local ip. I never use local host for some reason lol

X11. Luckily those days are over thanks to Wayland but, Jesus, are X.org config files a fucking, fiddly PITA to configure!

Setting up Alpine or Mutt with multiple SMTP accounts is an exercise in frustration.

Cloud-init. The config yaml is rather straight forward, but I can't convince my VM to execute it, and it's driving me nuts.

Rootless podman, PostgreSQL, redis, nextcloud, nginx, iptables in one....

Motion on my RPI. I didn't want it to save videos or photos, so I turned it off in the config. But it still saved them. So I tried a few other places in the config to turn it off, but nothing worked and I'd run out of space within a day. So I changed the save directory to /dev/null.

Then I tried to upgrade the pi, and the new version of motion has a different config, incompatible with the old one. So I'm running the old one.

it's embarrassing but for me it's thinkfan. Instead I wrote my own solution in bash.

Skyrim mods.

Btw, anyone got the new reshade working on wine?

[-] Chimrod@jlai.lu 3 points 10 months ago

For skyrim, I'm using vortex in lutris, and install the mods this way. This requires a more bit of actions but works fine.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Wabbajack still doesn't work in wine?

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

xorg.conf. The (wrong) example from Arch Wiki works but following the official documentation doesn't.

[-] hackerwacker@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Caddy. The config and docs suck.

Eg. I thought I configured it to limit some sites to an allowlist of IPs. Turns out (months later) the config did nothing, but ran anyway.

I gave up trying to setup a Mastodon server in docker. Lemmy was pretty tricky at the time as the docs were wrong. My email server was a bit tricky, but I've not really done much to tinker with it in the proceeding 6 years, so was worth it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
