heimdall - how do YOU use it - give me your 2 cents ;)

I use it as start page for all my dockers and machines on my LAN, to access from anywhere.

raulfg3, how did u set it up to be able to access it from outside your network? im currently trying to do that but am having the hardest time

thanks for posting that, a lot of good info but unfortunately still a bit over my head. plus my main hurdle at the moment is my ISP not supporting port forwarding of any kind. so trying to get a free domain and learning what information goes where has lead to several headaches and on top of that, trying to configure different open media vault plug-ins/docker/nginx/apache/command line/no-ip/dynu.com/cloudflare/digitalocean/vpn's/letsencrypt/duckdns/ddns settings/my own router plus keeping track of 3 firefox windows each holding at least 20+ tabs to different videos and articles... its been a difficult task for someone with no 'web server' experience.

I use the letsencrypt docker and buy a cheap dominion like mydominion.org (10€/year) to redirect all my dockers.

PD: You can use duckdns and use yourdomain.duckdns.org/docker1 , yourdomain.duckdns.org/docker2 etc...

but I find more easy to configure use docker1.yourdomain.org, dockers2.yourdomain.org , etc...

@Adoby do you run your own Firefox sync server?

I was asking, because I recently stumbled over a german guide to self host a Firefox sync server (https://decatec.de/home-server…ox-sync-server-mit-nginx/) and was curious if someone else was already using it.

isn't it normal? - thats my start enviorment xD
ehm just for the reason "my ISP not supporting port forwarding" you lucky run an IPv4 connection or the new DSLite bullshit like german cable providers do? on DSLite you can't run a server by your own, cause the ipv4 address you will get by ISP is not reachable. the only way would to be use IPv6 - but that can end tricky - at least if you try to connect from a pure IPv4 connection like on mobile.

ya i am able to reach everything locally and i set a static ip but reaching everything from the outside is just too big of a task for me. given all the loops i have to jump through to even attempt it is just too advanced i guess is the easiest way to put it. i tried duckdns first, then no-ip and then dynu.com but i was never able to get my domain i picked to ever reach my OMV log in page. so trying to add DNS, port forwarding, lets encrypt, nginx, web redirect, etc. into the mix, the puzzle just got way too big and after everything i'v tried, still didnt make it happen. i just wish i knew where it was failing but i'll have to learn way more about networking to get that answer. at least i can still do everything locally for now and have my fun

Is it officially confirmed that your ISP is blocking port forwards or is this your guess?
i can understand that all these things can be pretty overwhelming but in the end they are actually not that complicated.

well i was confused when i first set everything up and when it didnt work i narrowed down the issue to my port forwarding so i called my ISP (cox communications) and asked them why when i go to canyouseeme.org, why it says the ports i opened are showing closed? and they told me they don't support port forwarding for "my safety" and i read if i ask nicely they might allow it in my case but they would not budge. also, i was told i could pay an extra $10 a month for this "feature" that everyone else seems to offer for free so i want to rule out every other option before i even consider that.

and ya its pretty overwhelming but i've spent the last month or so reading and studying "servers / configuring / networking" and i have all the tools in my head but since this is my first run with actually doing it, i know im not putting all the pieces together correctly. i know thats all it is, i just wish i had someone looking over my shoulder to correct me if i do something wrong or someone i can ask a quick question to when im typing something or putting certain numbers somewhere. and i know once i get it all working correctly im gunna look back and say "dangit i knew thats what i was suppose to do!"

I know what you mean. When you start with a diy nas, Linux, Networking, docker etc. it’s quite overwhelming. But if you have questions the community here on the forum is friendly and helpful. Also response time is very short most of the time.
maybe you should change your isp.
