traefik v3 example with uptime-kuma

Here is an example of Traefik, using Uptime-Kuma as an example with a domain for it plus using letsencrypt to secure the domain. We also redirect HTTP to HTTPS.

The Traefik dashboard is not secure, so please implement security or a firewall.

This is just an example.

    container_name: uk1
    volumes:
      - ./uk1-data:/app/data

Install dotnet core on Ubuntu 22.04

These are the steps I used to install dotnet core on Ubuntu 22.04, both the SDK and the runtime.

apt update
apt install -y apt-transport-https
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
apt update
apt install -y dotnet-sdk-7.0
apt update
apt install -y aspnetcore-runtime-7.0

To verify installation run the following commands. If the below doesn’t work try to open a new ssh session or terminal.

dotnet --list-runtimes

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 7.0.2 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 7.0.2 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

dotnet --list-sdks

7.0.102 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
root@srv4311:~# 

If you tried previously to install version 7.0 make sure you remove/purge the old version from the system. Something like below.

apt remove --purge dotnet-sdk-6.0 dotnet-runtime-6.0
apt auto-remove

Also maybe delete the .dotnet folder in your home directory.

GoAccess for Nginx Proxy Manager Logs

This docker container should work out of the box with Nginx Proxy Manager to parse proxy logs. The goaccess.conf has been configured to only access proxy logs and archived proxy logs. No fuss, no muss.

The docker image scans and includes files matching the following criteria: proxy-host-*_access.log.gz proxy-host-*_access.log

Currently using GoAccess version: 1.5.5

Unraid container is also available.

Setting up Rocket.Chat with Mongo 4.2 via Docker

I could not find a docker-compose.yml example with rocket.chat using 4.2 so I pieced one together.

Also, some tips on these errors.

Error: $MONGO_OPLOG_URL must be set to the ‘local’ database of a Mongo replica set

MongoError: not master and slaveOk=false

Visit my Github repo for more information: https://github.com/xavier-hernandez/rocket.chat/

Network stopped working in Ubuntu 18.04

I had a Ubuntu VM that lost its ability to get an IP. I have no idea why but I finally found the issue and it seems that the interface name changed.

Maybe its a bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/+bug/1881832

So I found out that the network interface that was trying to do DHCP did not exist. You’ll find this in /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml . For some reason, it showed that my interface was enp1s0 but it wasn’t, it was enp3s0. So I modified the file and rebooted the server. Everything is fine now.

Pi-hole static DNS entry

This is more docker related but should be similar to just a plain jane install. You can add your static entries to the /etc/hosts file or you can add it the the dnsmasq.d configuration file.

Create a file under /etc/dnsmasq.d, something like myhosts.conf and add the following. Keep adding entries until your done.

host-record=hostname.com,192.168.1.1

Find your pi-hole dns configuration under /etc/dnsmasq.d. Open the file and add the following line to end of your the configuration file.

conf-file= /etc/dnsmasq.d/ myhosts .conf

Go back to the pi-hole GUI and restart the DNS under settings/system “restart DNS resolver”.

soyoustart – arm ufw error

If you get this error:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ip_tables': Exec format error
iptables v1.6.0: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Run this:
$ wget http://last.public.ovh.hdaas.snap.mirrors.ovh.net/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-modules-armada375/linux-modules-armada375_4.5.2-4_armhf.deb
$ dpkg -i linux-modules-armada375_4.5.2-4_armhf.deb
