  • Yeah, there’s quite a bit of residential on septic tanks here. Incorporated towns is usually the line where public sewer exists. Before you ask, not every home here is on municipal water either nor natural gas. I remember a family growing up that got water deliveries for their cistern if their well ever ran dry. My childhood home had a giant propane tank for our gas appliances and a septic tank system because we lived on the other side of an interstate highway even though we lived “within the city limits”. I remember dad always saying it was difficult for the utilities to bore under the interstate to get the handful of homes (maybe 50 of us?) in the city limits on the other side. More homes in the USA have access to power than municipal water, moreso than natural gas, and much moreso than public sewer. Like I said elsewhere, we are really spread out. This guy really puts it into perspective


  • It’s easy when nearly all of your population lives in a third of your landmass mostly in the south. We’re still talking about residential. Most of our cities and towns are also not walkable if that gives you an estimate of how spread out we are even in urban areas here.

    Besides it took laws for power companies to get the last rural communities and families. I remember my grandparents talking about it. Honestly the better investment would be putting up solar panels cut off from the grid with battery banks to cover the most rural over here.








  • That was the thing. When I first setup both of them they worked fine with cloudflared. A storage configuration change killed the TrueNAS app but it worked with cloudflared up until the day it died. For the AIO setup, I forget which version (11.x?), but an update broke cloudflared connectivity to the Apache container. I can point the tunnel at the master container and it works, but not the Apache container. Rebuilding it and going through logs and my config never revealed any reason why it broke. Nextcloud forums were basically “get gud” and read this self hosting for morons guide as far as help went. The way their forums have been is what’s really turned me sour to the whole project tbh which is a shame. The project really is slick and great when it works.

    I’ll give that docker stack a go and see what happens. This weekend’s project is to move my rig into a new case with a quieter and modern power supply and better cooling.





  • Currently? Not at all. I’ve been trying to fix my AIO via docker behind a cloudflare tunnel. It was working, then an update broke the communication between Apache and the cloudflared. Their support forums have been condescending and unhelpful.

    In the past I’ve run the TrueNAS app deployment but a change in the way data is stored messed up that install before I moved to AIO. I’ve tried going back to the TrueNAS app, but can’t get it to start. I believe that it is probably something related to the previous install, but have not had a lot of time to figure it out.
