Hi there, I just installed Proxmox on my home server and like the idea a lot, but there is a noticable learning curve. I used this wonderful website and the provided link for home assistant os.

Usually home assistant is available at homeassistant.local without any configuration, i think its called mdns? But on my setup, homeassistant.local does not work for me, on any device, but the ip does.

So i suspect some settings in the proxmox firewall stops the ha vm mdns service from creating an entry in my router (fritzbox). I could not find any useful information about this though, and AI gave me the usual not quite helpful advice.

I hope you have some tips what i can check. Thanks a lot!

ps: I want to host caddy as a reverse proxy on the server some day. Does it make more sense to host a dns server as well and use caddy to forward to the ip?

Update: I was overwhelmed by settings. After some more research and thinking I got it working. My dns was set up incorrectly, i referenced the container with the wrong name (the name of the container is not the container_name, but the name of the service in the docker compose file). I then had some other issues with port collisions but could resolve them by killing (docker stop) thingsboard and restarting all services.

So: problem solved! thanks for the answers though!

Hi! I have a server with static ip, that runs docker with caddy and thingsboard (iot dashboard). I have my domain, that points to the servers ip (both ipv4 and ipv6). (I tried using with "www" and with wilcard "*" in the A and AAAA records)

Thingsboard can be reached in the browser via ip:8080, or domain.com:8080 (or with the wildcard "*" set in DNS records with (anything).domain.com:8080). It is set up this way by the creators, where i got the compose file (without caddy) guide here. So i guess no routing is done via caddy.

the caddyfile looks like this:

thingsboard.domain.com {
	tls internal
	reverse_proxy thingsboard:8080
}

Thingsboard cant be reached via thingsboard.domain.com which i would be expecting with this config. Below is the compose file. They are all part of the same docker network (they get listed when i inspect the network).

some specific questions:

• how do i have to setup my dns records, so that all requests to any subdomain get send to caddy and i can do all the routing (from the subdomain to the service) in caddy? What am i missing in the caddyfile
• can i deactivate the port from the thingsboard container, so it cant be reached via the port from "outside" only from inside the docker network, by caddy?
• why am i struggling so much with this basic docker and networking stuff "docker is easy, you should try it" :D

Thanks a lot for reading, i hope someone can help! I dont know what to search for to get this working, networking stuff is still a blurr.

Here is the docker compose file:

Hi! I am trying to set up a wireguard client in docker. I use the linuxserver image, I it running in server mode on a different machine (exactly the same ubuntu version) and i can login with my laptop to the wireguard server, but the docker wg-client has problems, i hope someone has an idea :)

The client docker container has trouble starting and throws this error: [___](modprobe: FATAL: Module ip6_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.8.0-47-generic ip6tables-restore v1.8.10 (legacy): ip6tables-restore: unable to initialize table 'raw' Error occurred at line: 1 Try 'ip6tables-restore -h' or 'ip6tables-restore --help' for more information. )

I copied the config to the server with the wg server running, it has the same problem with the client. I can ping google.com from inside the server container, but not from inside the client container. Here is the output of the 'route' cmd from the client:Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.18.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

I searched for a solution quite a bit, but cant seem to find something that works. changed the .yml compose file according to some suggestions but without success.

I tried to install the missing module but could not get it working.

Its a completely clean install of ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-47-generic.

here is the compose file, in case its needed, it should be exact same one as provided by linux-server in their github:

services:
  wireguard:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/wireguard:latest
    container_name: wireguard-client

    volumes:

#      - /lib/modules:/lib/modules #optional
    ports:
      - 51820:51820/udp
    sysctls:
      - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1
    restart: unless-stopped

here is the complete error log from the wg-client docker:
