This was actually pretty interesting until I found out that Caddy is not yet supported :(

Thank you anyway!

I already looked into Authelia, and the “problem” I encountered is that it does not support “named policies” (I don’t know the actual name): what I mean is to be able to create “only_admin_policy”, “only_registered_users_policy” etc, and then in Caddy to be able to say something like this

service1.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container1:1234
    apply_policy only_admin_policy
}
service2.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container2:1234
    apply_policy only_registered_users_policy
}
service3.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container3:1234
}

Instead if I understood correctly (and I would gladly be proved wrong) this is not possible with Authelia, as these policies have to be specified inside Authelia, so I would have two different configurations in two different places instead of having everything in the Caddyfile

I hope I explained well what I mean

thanks for the help!

How does programmatic access tie into the desire for a login form?

I would like to keep files with “private” information protected from public access, but I would like to access them from a script. An example: i wrote a karaoke application to use with my friends, they have to go to a webpage and select the songs they like, and then the karaoke app connects to the server to get the updated preference file. I would like that the users had a “nice login form” to select their songs, and then I’d like my karaoke app to easily download the file while still keeping it password-protected

This looks very interesting! I see that it supports users groups, would it be possible to create “named access policies” (like “admin_only_policy”, “group_XXX_policy” ecc) and then assign them to the various services directly in the Caddyfile? thank you very much!

wouldn’t this take a lot of time? but I can see the advantage, being able to just roll back whatever happened

I’ll think about it, thank you very much!

Wow this is amazing! thank you very much for the super detailed answer! exactly what I was looking for!

This is actually very interesting! I’ll gladly look into it, thank you very much!

thanks for the reply! Yes for sure I’m backing up all the /home directory, but I’d like to preserve also important configurations like ssh, cronjob etc, but I don’t really know which directories are important for this and which are not

thanks for the reply!

How do you plan to restore if the whole drive dies?

good point: I guess if the problem is that I messed something up I may just run the backup script in reverse? if the problem is HW then I’d have to reinstall and then restore the backupped directory probably is there a “standard” way?

THANK YOU! The grep command you posted showed me that that UUID was still present in /etc/kernel/cmdline as

resume=UUID=8c53812d-ba43-45e4-b219-8d3ded8548a5

I changed it with the new one and run sudo reinstall-kernels, and now it works correctly! thank you very much for your help!

A start job is running for /dev/disk/by-uuid/8c53812d-ba43-45e4-b219-8d3ded8548a5

it’s really strange, I just noticed that it’s the UUID of… the original swap partition (now gone) the entry is still commented in /etc/fstab:

# UUID=8c53812d-ba43-45e4-b219-8d3ded8548a5 swap             swap    defaults   0 0

is there another place other than /etc/fstab where I should remove it?

thanks for the help!

EDIT: this is the whole output of sudo blkid if needed:

thanks for the reply! many services allows this by setting an environmental variable or through a config file, but sadly not all of them

If you can’t configure the ports of your services then there’s no real recourse FWIU

Sadly this is my case… I guess I’ll have to give up then thank you very much!

thanks for the detailed reply!

When both contsiners use the same second number, C1: 1234:80, C21235:80, and neither documents suggest how to change that port, I personally haven’t found a way to resolve that conflict.

unfortunately I’m in this situation, so I guess my only ways are to modify the container by hand or to create two instances of gluetun. thank you very much for your help!

I’ll try other kernels then, but I don’t know how to check if the system is actually powered off or not without waiting 8 hours and checking the battery drain XD perhaps the halt could be the key

thanks!! I’ll update the thread if I’ll discover something new

how do I check this? This is probably the source of the issue (see this comment), but I have no idea on what to do to understand the actual cause

thanks for your time and help!

update: I tried but when off (or at least “apparently off”) the USB ports are off, my phone does not charge when plugged in

okay, I think we have some news: if I kill the pc by holding the power button, after a night the battery loses 0%! so I guess the problem is that it’s not shutting down properly. I tried to sudo halt --poweroff and it drained the battery as usual. I then tried sudo halt -f and something strange happened: the screen immediately turned off, but the red LED on the volume key indicating that the volume is muted stayed on, so the pc wasn’t completely off. what could be the problem? and why does this happen only when I force the halt? could it be a kernel issue?

thanks for the help and for your time!!!

I’m going to free space for dinner

I checked and yes, there’s no cmos battery in it. Do you think this may have something to do with it?
