I figured most of you could relate to this.
I was updating my Proxmox servers from 7.4 to 8. First one went without problems. That second one though... Yea, not so much.. I THINK it's GRUB but not sure yet.
Now my Nextcloud, NAS, main reverse proxy and half my DNS went down. And no time to fix it before work. Lovely π€ Well I now know what I'll be doing when I get home.
Out of morbid curiosity, What are some of ya'lls self hosting horror stories.?
I'm using 3 Ubiquiti APs and running my own management instance on my server in a docker container.
I still haven't been able to figure out why, except for maybe crappy Ubiquiti firmware, but if that container goes down or loses connectivity then the APs flood my router with traffic and my whole network goes down.
Even wired connections don't work since the router is locked up, and when my server comes back up it won't be able to reestablish connection because the router is still dead.
The only way I've found to fix it is to power cycle the APs which is obviously a huge pain.
Can't get any support from Ubiquiti on it since I'm not using one of their controllers even though it's obviously a firmware issue. Definitely do not recommend.
That's an odd one. I've delt with Unifi at a lot of scales and never heard of them acting up when the controller goes down. Do you perhaps use a guest network with an intercept page? That's the only thing I can imagine possibly causing any issue.
No guest network, I have a really simple setup at home in general, the 3 Ubiquiti APs are the only ones broadcasting, firmware is up to date and everything
