4 is probably heaps

#

It’s going to be running in line with the pre-existing mains power cable/ link too so probably not a bad idea from interference issue too

clear ferry
#

It's easy to pull fiber, I've pulled fiber with two socks and a vacuum

#

Was slow, but Worked

umbral cliff
#

Though honestly thinking just a 2<->2 link between the two, linking to a good quality switch inside the house to take the fibre into copper & separately from nbn to fibre

Lol straya

hushed basalt
#

From a manufacturing perspective indoor fibre patch style cables are incredibly cheap

umbral cliff
#

Just don’t get caught basically

hushed basalt
#

Copper is hard and expensive

#

Materials for the terminations are dirt cheap too

#

Assembly is the only real cost

umbral cliff
#

Is there a way to have fibre come out of a wall socket, or do you somehow have to do fibre -> RJ45 in the wall?

hushed basalt
#

If you want to see expensive look at expanded optical connectors

feral palm
#

i just linked keystones for fiber above, they exist

umbral cliff
#

Keystones are not wall jacks though I thought

feral palm
#

you can get a keystone wall plate

#

then just short patch from wall to switch

hushed basalt
#

$$$$$$

umbral cliff
#

Looks professional stuff

hushed basalt
#

Keystones is just a formfactor for modules

#

So you can get LC, RJ45, RCA keystones etc etc

feral palm
#

yep

hushed basalt
#

If you have had Telstra install a socket at some point in the 2000s you'd see these Krone plates

#

That's keystone

umbral cliff
#

Yeah so would have to replace the wall plate with a keystone one then

hushed basalt
#

I'd use a surface mount

umbral cliff
umbral cliff
hushed basalt
#

It's an alternative to a plate

#

The point being the fibre doesn't come out perpendicular to the wall

umbral cliff
#

Ahh like the old Foxtel connectors

feral palm
#

yeah that's a good plus to it

hushed basalt
#

Since it is fragile and has a large bend radius

umbral cliff
#

Makes sense

hushed basalt
#

Is this going into a rack

umbral cliff
#

At the moment just learning about it

hushed basalt
#

Basic rules are
Cable runs never go directly to equipment. Always an intermediatery termination

#

On both ends

#

Don't kink it, don't yank it,

#

And you'll want something to protect it when it's running around your roof or whatever

#

Split conduit like you'd find in your engine bay can work

umbral cliff
clear ferry
#

Don't kink shame my cables

umbral cliff
#

But yeah makes sense otherwise

hushed basalt
#

Basically you can't really tie it off with cable ties to nail clips in your rafters like you could with cat6

#

And random trades or whatever in your roof etc

#

Although if you're using an "outdoor" cable that's got enough protection

#

Outdoor doesn't mean underground though, keep that in mind

umbral cliff
#

There special underground cables?

clear ferry
#

Rugged cables

#

Yes

hushed basalt
#

Gel filled etc

#

Ant proof sheathing

#

Yes that's not a joke

#

Made to basically be in contact with water full time

Which a cable across a catenary or up a wall in conduit isn't

by the time i factor in the antenna cost etc it about the same price as the 4g version of the same camera lol

They had rust on their phillips screwdriver, most likely from unscrewing the old retic controller they replaced

The rust deposits on the screw terminals when they tighten up the wires on 1 etc, and seeds further rust

More gets deposited as it goes 1>2>3 etc until there is less left on their screwdriver

hey all, any Linux gurus around for some help with an issue I have

ive spent all day on it and cannot fix it, been down google rabbit holes all day and need a 2nd brain

Don't ask to ask, just ask your question. Then people can answer when they're around.

When you do ask a question, try to provide as much background detail as possible. Ask yourself these questions first so that others don't have to:

  1. What version of the Home Assistant are you running? (remember, last isn't a version)
  2. What exactly are you trying to do that won't work?
  3. Is the problem uniform or erratic?
  4. What's the exact error message?
  5. When did it arise?
  6. What exactly don't you "get"?
  7. Can you share sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?
tulip olive

not HA related, linux Virtual machine the OS drive is mounting "read Only" and subsequently causes services to fail to start due to no write permissions. If i run "mount -a /dev/sde2 /" it mounts after it has booted to RW, i then run init 1; init 3 and the services all start successfully. The issue is everytime i reboot it goes back to read only requiring the manual commands above. I have tried FSCK (no issues found), tried a 2nd VM and mounted the Disk to it and ran FSCK (No issues)

Kvm and docker for virtualization

ive been using omv4 then 5 with passthrough disks to VM as ext4 with snapraid

I've had.... 3 HDD failures in the last 20 years

thats very lucky, I think ive had 5 over the last 8 years

I use pfsense VM as a router

tardy parrot
#

You can do that?

#

Like if I setup pfsense in VM on my main PC connected by ethernet which is usually on 24/7 I could just use that as a router?

tulip olive
#

yea absolutely

tardy parrot
#

Huh, I always thought you needed a dedicated PC or some hardware that you werent using

#

Ill def look into that

tulip olive
#

I use a Dell T20 Xeon server as my main server which has a 4 port Intel PCI NIC

#

I use port 1 as the "WAN" port from the ADSL Modem

#

add your adsl username and password in Pfsense and boom it connects

tardy parrot
#

I have a regular gaming MOBO, you think itll have more than 2 ports?

tulip olive
#

usually motherboards have 1 NIC port

#

but you can add a PCI card with 4 ports no problem

#

go Intel for compatibility

tardy parrot
#

Well HA in hyper-v runs on its own IP and shows up as a seperate device in my router

#

could i theoretically do the same for PfSense

tulip olive
#

depends on your broadband equipment really

tardy parrot
#

Ill just dabble with it, see what happens aha, could I use my current router as an AP for wifi assuming I got it up and running?

tulip olive
#

mine is a BT (UK) white modem which has an ethernet port on it, that patches to port 1 on my 4 port NIC and I then binded that in the VM in hyperv to pfsense as Pfsense to WAN

#

then port 2 = Pfsense to LAN

#

pppoe

tardy parrot
#

I'd probably have to connect my modem ethernet to my PC, setup pfsense and then get a separate ethernet card to use router as AP im guessing

#

Wait! I have an old PC lying around, might just turn that into a PfSense machine and then use my current (expensive) router as a WIFI AP and switch

#

Its only got 1 ethernet port but I could grab a network card for cheap im sure

#

I assume this old piece of junk PC doesnt even support 2.5Gb so 1Gb will do aha

#

actually im pretty sure my modem only supports 1Gb anyway aha

#

Oh, actually i do have a sketchy USB to Ethernet adapter and besides local transfers, my crappy aussie internet is capped at 100Mb anyway ahahaha so that might be another option 🤔

#

Might have to dabble with that

tardy parrot
#

I have an old PC lying around, fuck it imma just dabble with it and see what happens, worst case I resort back to my current setup

clear ferry
#

Opnsense > pfsense

#

Mostly anything with two NICs will do

tardy parrot
#

Oh, im assuming PfSense will let me easily block internet access to certain devices whilst still allowing them on the network? specifically Wifi devices connected to the router as an AP, or would I need a wifi card of some sort connected to the pfsense computer itself

clear ferry
#

One NIC if you are desperate

tardy parrot
clear ferry
#

No, *sense is the edge device, you block anything on the edge

#

I would never run usb to Ethernet no

#

Then rather use vlans

tardy parrot
#

Why exactly no USB?

#

judging from this tut video this is essentially what i would be setting up

#

using my current router as a wifi AP and switch

clear ferry
#

Usb to Ethernet is... Flaky at best, its fine for connecting a laptop to a cabled network or doing troubleshooting

#

The chipsets are usually not great for bsd either

tardy parrot
#

What about just for tinkering? I can get a gigabit ethernet card for 18$ soon as long as I know my setup all works

clear ferry
#

Either get more NICs or use VLANs

#

Supported NICs

#

Preferably not realtek based

clever mortar
#

Realtek are no longer quite the dumpster fire of the past

clear ferry
#

Still not a great choice for bsd

clever mortar
#

Or anything really

clear ferry
#

You would use a managed switch

None of that hyperv nonsense

tulip olive
#

i use a tplink 8 port smart switch which has poe and vlan support

#

i then tag the traffic in HyperV virtual switch with powershell commands

tardy parrot
#

No my point is I need modem connection to get internet, I cant then use the same physical ethernet cable to connect to my current router as a WiFi/Switch

clear ferry
#

Sure you can

#

That is how vlans work

#

Especially VLAN trunks/tags

#

You can have 4095 vlans on one cable

tardy parrot
#

I know how VLANs work, I still need physical connections between the 2 devices..?

tulip olive
#

I VLAN tag my CCTV network / LAN etc but i use physical connections

#

1 cable from BT modem to port 1 and port 2 on the nic is to the LAN switch

#

patch all of your devices in to your big switch

#

pfsense webgui create 2 zones and map to each interface (physical)

#

pfsense to WAN

#

pfsense to LAN

#

port 1 / port 2

tardy parrot
#

Explain how I get connection to my old router with 1 ethernet cable

clear ferry
#

With a managed switch

tardy parrot
#

Where

clear ferry
#

Between modem and old router and pfsense

low harness
#

Between the modem and everything else.

clear ferry

So, everywhere

tardy parrot
#

You mean like this?

clear ferry
#

Modem to managed switch untagged vlan 200, old router to managed switch untagged VLAN 300, pfsense nic to managed switch tagged VLAN 200/300, two virtual interfaces in pfsense tagging each respective vlan

#

Yes

tardy parrot
#

Ok well in that case id just get an extra NIC lol

tulip olive
#

exactly

tardy parrot
#

im talking about tinkering with it tonight, imma just use USB to Ethernet

tulip olive
#

i got mine from ebay from a parts seller in the IT Industry, it was like 25 quid for a HP Intel 4 port nic

tardy parrot
#

speed is not an issue right now as aussie internet is slow and i dont transfer data local often if at all

tulip olive
#

usually quite expensive new

#

yea I only have 42mb down

#

I don't feel like scrolling; can't the old router be the managed switch too?

tulip olive
#

but when we do get gig fibre then I have the dedicated interface for it

tardy parrot
#

100Mb down, max usually 92Mb

#

Idk could it? TP LINK firmware sucks

clear ferry
tardy parrot
#

but then I couldnt use it as WiFi AP??

tulip olive
#

pre pfsense I used a TPLINK c7 then flashed it with DDWRT and it was always unstable on every build

#

that was my driver to move to pfsense and I converted the tplink with ddwrt into a AP only

#

soon to be replaced with a Ubiquiti

tardy parrot
#

I would flash mine but no one supports Archer AX6000

if you can find suitable firmware hit me up lol

Ok so I tinkered around with OpnSense, pretty nifty! Seems to work fine etc. (currently using it right now so I have internet connection :D) just missing some port forwards and IP reservations etc that I had setup on my current router

...but I went from 92Mb down to 2Mb... lmao, pretty sure its that USB adapter cause the onboard ethernet port shows 1000Mb full duplex.

However as a proof of concept it definitely seems to work! Havent tested using my old router as an AP / Switch but will give that ago later.

Now I am just going to try find a nice cheap intel NIC and boom, OpnSense router B)

That slow of a speed wouldnt be due to the somewhat slow PC?? Pretty sure its that adapter aha

Yeah in electrical, once we finish we get a supervisor licensed that lets us perform electrical installation, maintenance, and repair as well as supervise and train others in the above.

well everything is ew for you. Though with proxmox im semi agreed. Never seemed to have super luck with it. With my super simple setup / requirement I guess the cleanest is bare metal linux with docker and docker cuda support with nvidia drivers and google coral drivers on the host. With LXC I need to duplicate the drivers to the containers, and for nvidia that can be a pain even if quattro support being shared by several instances

it's advertised as just being software on top of debian, but in my eyes it is still an appliance with limitations

docker makes more sense for 99% of cases

then you can just learn something in the process and run debian + docker + kvm
