  • I use nginx proxy manager for a reverse proxy and SSL cert automation. Works great for me but I would like to get into traefik sometime.

    I got tired of the NPM and went to traefik for 2 reasons.

    1. NPM kept locking me out of my account (admin), like 4 times during the time I was using it. That meant that it was not reliable enough for daily use.

    2. From what I heard is that the NPM project only has 1 developer and so they can’t really respond and fix security flaws in a proper timeframe.

    I’m using traefik now for internal traffic while VPN in if I need internal services while out and about.

    Jim’s Garage has a great YouTube video on setting it up.



  • I just recently learned that openSUSE users also have a lot of stability due to btrfs snapshots, so maybe that’s really the feature I’m looking for. I don’t know much about it, honestly.

    I’m been daily driving openSUSE Tumbleweed for almost a year and from my end there are no problems with it. In fact, no problem that can be pinned to the particular distro.

    I ran into an audio issue with my Bluetooth Headset in Kernel 6.9 3, with sound profiles not appearing. However, this has now been fixed since 2 kernel updates, (eg.it was a bug in the kernel)

    The snapshot feature is awesome and always worked without a hitch when I have been tinkering with stuff I dont know how it works.

    It has my recommendation. Good for gaming as its a rolling release with all the new stuff to boot.




  • Yeah they are all double $$ and I recreated the container several times. The only thing that was changed in the compose file was the hash string - user:password.

    I read from another older post that sometimes you need to clear all cookies in the browser. Did that also. Didn’t work.

    I did however do the DNS challange again as I fucked up the older working config. The cert is different now but points to the same domain and subdomain. Can it be that the browser or traefik are still “remembering” the old cert, with other credentials?

    Just grasping at straws here. I’m at a loss.

    I can’t find anything online, traefik website or on YouTube about changing passwords. Only create one on a new install.

    Should be a walk in the park to change a password. Wtf.

    Edit: found the solution here: community.traefik.io/t/dashboard-with-basic-auth-but-cant-login-in-anyway/13235

    I was using a wrong hash command in the terminal.

    SOLVED!













  • When I installed Tumbleweed not so long ago, I also had problems. The installer is notorious for giving you an unusable system sometimes, even when using the defaults.

    I have been running Tumbleweed “stock” on my desktop for about 10 months now and truth to be told I never had a problem with it, including updates. Rock stable with a nice snapshot feature as a safety net.

    That’s why I’ll wait to install Kalpa on the desktop. Just no reason for it.

    I have of course run into bugs but those came from KDE. Can’t really blame Tumbleweed for those.

    In fact, Tumbleweed is the reason I went all in with Linux and ditched dual booting Windows, as I had been bit pretty hard early on my linux journey with other distros and made me think twice using Linux as a daily-reliable-driver.
