  • Yea I likely don’t have a full understanding, just getting into this and all. That’s why I decided a hard req was to force the images to run in a non-root context. (I did succeed, prolly)

    But the macvlan does have its own IP with the associated ports free and that will let the adguard home image bind 53 while the host can squat on it with dns listener stub or whatever the fuck it does by default. The macvlans is a recommended thing by the Docker adguard home guides to bypass the host or other processes already binding 53, I didn’t cook it up myself.

    Anyway, this is the first I’m hearing of traffic or caddy in this context - googling those is not ez pz so it’ll take me a bit to know what you’re implying I should do!

    Edit: I’m not gonna understand traffic or caddy beyond the surface level, the main pages are enterprise-focused so I’m not sure how they apply. I’ll have to wait to run into an organic use case (with wordy guide) to truly understand them, I think. (Other than traffic could redirect but it’s called a reverse proxy but I think, at least in this context, that’s a fancy word for redirect. So use it somehow instead of forwarding specific ports?)
























  • I am reasonably pleased with my TV UI approximation. It’s an old Skylake-era CPU running Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC which lasts until 2032.

    I chose windows because Linux is often limited to 720p browser streaming. And I got tired of overcoming hurdles to make the thing work well, forget what they were but damn they sucked and took a lot of time. Burned through a ton of my self-allotted time fixing stuff till I just ripcorded Win 10 Ent IoT LTSC; Linux might go better for you!

    Anyway, it’s at 150% desktop scale and I have the task bar auto hide. I have icons for all streaming sites, Freetube, and Jellyfin on the desktop arranged in a grid. It looks reasonably good, they open in Firefox or in their apps. I close the whole window when I’m done (I don’t use the browser’s tabs), which helps with the “TV box” feel of usage.

    I have a remote that has some IR functions to turn the TV on and off and change inputs along with gyro mouse control. It’s hella China, just buy one on your relevant China source (Amazon, alibaba, etc.) - there are tons of clones. The light up feature on it makes an audible hum, so that sucks, but I don’t use it and don’t seem to miss it.

    Best bonus is it blocks ads on all the streaming services I have (uBlock origin mostly, also AdGuard but I think uBlock Origin does the heavy lifting). And can turn on WireGuard for modern account sharing, going to automate it soon for certain streaming services.
