Ubiquiti just released its new network controller version 7.3.76 and alongside with the major change of jumping from Java 8 to Java 11, the update had a lot of features and changes under the hood added. Unfortunately Ubiquiti did not release the new controller version via the official apt repositories. In the official patch notes […]
I was looking for a secure and reliable way to expose some of my homelab webinterfaces and APIs to the public. I decided to go for a Cloudflare Tunnel, so I don't need to open any port like 443 on my firewall and use Authelia and OpenID as an identity provider to securely authenticate and […]
Update hint: This guide installs via the official apt debian/ubuntu repositories, which does NOT have yet the actual controller version 7.3.76 including Java 11. If you want this new version, please follow after this install my update guide to the latest version here. With the latest release of Ubiquitis' Unifi consoles, the UXG-Pro, I am […]
Most owners of a Unifi Dream Machine (Pro) know about the automatic backup feature Ubiquti offers in their UDM(P) interface. The feature creates automatic backups of all your config settings and stores it locally on the device. So you can manually download it from there before you change something. But what if you forgot about […]
WireGuard is quite a hyped new VPN server that has some pros why you would like to use it. Its part of the Linux kernel now and therefore you can setup a WireGuard VPN server on almost every piece of hardware. But some people might want to run it on their router, and if you […]

Download the ISOs: We need two ISO files: Windows 11: Go to Microsoft and download the official Windows 11 Installer ISO. virtIO drivers: Go to virtIO GitHub and download the latest ISO version there Once […]
This is a quick tutorial about a case I recently encountered. After a upgrade of a clients Proxmox cluster to the latest version, two very important VMs were not able to power on again. As it turned out fixing the root of the issue would take much longer than the downtime would allow for, as […]
Its very important to keep the order of this guide and not add and setup things prior or later, as this will create errors. Also I tried to keep it as detailed as possible, therefore it is going to be a fairly long article. Use this index to quickly jump to the area you need: […]
In this tutorial we are creating a Proxmox cluster with two physical servers, node1 and node2, and we will add a RaspberryPi as a third Quorum device to make the Proxmox cluster working as intended in High Availability mode with having an odd number of cluster votes. This gives smaller business or a homelab user […]
Problem to solve: If you have a Proxmox Server and you like tinkering around with it like I do, then you probably know that feeling that all of a sudden nothing seems to be working as it used to be and you want to re-roll to a certain point and just start all over again. […]
This project was already build in 2015, but due to a recent reinstall of the MagicMirror software on my mirror, I decided to share the whole build including the up to date software setup process from scratch. Also I can tell that it ran flawless for the past 5 years now, so pretty stable 🙂 […]
Today we install the famous DNS advertisment blocker pihole in a LXC container on a Proxmox server, and set this as our network wide primary DNS server on the Unifi controller. The cool thing is that even as pihole was born as a Raspberry Pi project, it can easily run on most other Debian-based operating […]
In the past years I started to switch most of the technology that runs at my home towards 19" rack sized devices. Biggest reason for this was to slowly build up and progress towards a full sized 19" rack that you would find in a single family house or a small business. So for me […]
This install is similar to the install on Raspbian and a raspberry pi, still there are some specialities and traps you can run into, especially with the virtual architecture and openvpn service. If you want to install the same setup on a Raspberry Pi, please read my earlier guide on this topic. WARNING: the openvpn […]
Problem to solve: If you have some Raspberry Pis at home and you like tinkering around with them like I do, then you probably know that feeling that all of a sudden nothing seems to be working as it used to be and you want to re-roll to a certain point and just start all […]
