Scihub my brother 🙏

I have the exact same setup. How do you remap that button

Nice one, I’m going to check this out!

Thanks for the advice. Is there a certain YAML file or something I should be looking at to check this? I installed via portainer and haven’t seen any of the configs this time around

Thanks! I’ve seen this phrase before when hunting around some other forum posts. How can I check this? I assume on my router or on the access points? I can’t see anything in the Deco app about this, I found this link that suggests it might not be supported?

Hi!

The hostname thing is weird. I was able to navigate to the hostname in my browser which successfully showed the mediabox landing page (I believe this is ‘Homer’), but all the links on there were pointing to the machine IP. If I changed the address to be hostname:32400, maybe it would have worked, but I didn’t try that. I guess homer should route to a machine IP not a localhost so as when you land there from another device it properly routes to the machine which can serve the apps.

Aside: Do you (or anyone reading!) know how you do that thing where you alias your machine IP to an arbitrary name? I’m sure I did it once upon a time with ‘bonjour’(?), but I don’t recall any more than that.

Anyway, turning the deco’s onto access point mode solved everything :)

Regarding mediabox - there seems to be a few good projects like this, they are actually incredible and super helpful for a learning perspective. I started with YAMS which actually has miles better documentation and is super helpful for setting up the services. Mediabox seems to assume you know a bit more about how the *arrs work. It sets up the containers and the folder structures really nicely, but for a novice like myself it took some time to get all the applications configured.

It’s been a fun project though!

Yo! Based on some of the other answers this seems spot on. I guess the problem is that I was kinda running two routers, when really I wanted the mesh system to act as a series of access points for the original network. I don’t know - but I can confirm that turning the mesh system into ‘Access Point Mode’ fixed this issue for me

Hello! I for sure have a double NAT problem - after writing this post I went to connect my xbox to the new mesh WiFi and it told me this was the issue, but I had no idea how to fix it until all of the great advice on here. Your instructions were spot on and now everything is working as expected! :)

Do you have any thoughts on if I should stop the ISP router from broadcasting its 2.4 and 5GHz networks now? They seem redundant, but I saw that turning the router into modem mode will prevent me from using all it’s Ethernet ports :/

Sure thing! I’ll answer everything as best I can.

The machine is a single laptop running Mint. All the docker containers are being served from this machine, and during this testing I was trying to access them all from that same machine. I observed the containers were up and running properly with docker stats cmd and I saw they were accessible over the original IP when using the ISP WiFi.

The access points are TP Link Deco, it’s 3 units, the first of which is connected via ethernet to my ISP provided router (Virgin Media Superhub). I believe they are WiFi meshing. I can’t tell too much more about how they work ‘under the hood’ as the setup was very… ‘consumer friendly’ and didn’t cover much technical detail

When I connect to this network and run ifconfig it looks like the IP changes in the last few digits. I thought if I used that IP with appropriate ports I might be able to view my servers, but that was not the case.

Did you need steam to run the Valheim Server? We have it on xbox game pass and don’t want to buy it again

Sweet! It looks cool. Do you use it for work? I manage to get enough info about my vehicle expenses from a finance app that scrapes my bank statements, which is enough of an overview for my requirements

Can you tell us more about why you like this package?
