  • Could also be docker network-config. Docker should by default use the hosts resolver config if there’s nothing in /etc/resolve.conf

    You can also supply dns server on the docker command or in your compose file if you’re using compose.

    As a last resort you can enter server and ip i the container’s /ets/host file if the ip is static. But that’s gone once you rebuild the image.

    Or maybe there’s env on the container you use for dns










  • The Debian installer can be pre-seeded and be automated. You can use cloud-init for non cloud installs but why would you? Preseed or use fai and let your config system handle the rest.

    I get that you love this board and think that “the establishment” is evil. But you come off as someone not having the knowledge to back your assumptions.

    Sometimes this will be the right board, sometimes a Pi is better. And sometimes 2-3 microcontrollers are a better fit. But the choice should not be based on telemetry in an optional imager, or the fact that your headless setup requires editing of config files.


  • How is a pi (or other single-board computers) less critical than “a full system”? Do you have any idea how many pi’s are out there running serious stuff? Where I work I bump into them all over - including in security systems and door-access.

    This one has two 2.5gb ports, 8 to 32gb ram. This is serious stuff for an sbc, clearly overkill for your pihole install. What’s not equally serious with banana pi is support. I went to their wiki, it lists Android and Debian (previous version) “images” but no download links, so it’s hard for me to verify that this board boots with sshd running or not. Like I said Debian does not, and for a good reason. Raspberry pi os pulls from raspbian, and they pull from Debian.

    You can run Ubuntu LTS, fedora or others on your pi.

    The telemetry is bad news - soon we will be out of food because someone knows what size of sd-cards you use, and the number of installs you do. So better go buys a silly board, track down some ancient image of an install someone did at some point where they managed to compile the nic drivers and include the binary blob. Because nobody gets to force you to add an empty file to your sd-card!


  • The extra menu in the flasher does the magic on the sd-card. I’ve been setting up headless pi’s since before 3b came out, and the same options are available today.

    The idea that ssh being enabled by default is reasonable is just like your opinion. Did you know you have to enable it during installation on both Debian and canonicals derivative? Maybe it’s still on by default on fedora (with root login enabled to help you!)

    If editing your config is fiddling then I struggle to see your use of an sbc.




  • This - why add another machine into the equation?

    Or set up an account at Tailscale or similar. They let you have like 10 machines in your network w/o payment

    Or route to your home network through the vpn interface on the VPS. So you can reference the windows ip, rather than NAT

    Your current setup is very complicated. I did not check your rules at all but maybe you are setting up forwarding on your servers lan interface rather than the WireGuard interface.

    Also you don’t say much about how the VPS setup is. Do you Nat the other working services? What IP/host do you forward to? Are you rdp’ing from the VPS or is that also some form of forwarder/revproxy?
