  • KPN / XS4ALL / pfSense IPTV

    (This article is in dutch language because it is only applicable on dutch TV providers)

    Hierbij mijn werkende configuratie voor IPTV met pfSense als router.
    Hierbij is op glasvezelaansluiting een NTU gemonteerd die het optische signaal omzet naar koper/UTP.

    Ik maak gebruik van een Qotom computer die voorzien is van 6 netwerk interfaces (Intell chipset). Daardoor heb ik interfaces Igb0 t/m Igb5 tot mijn beschikking. Daarbij heb ik gekozen om mijn interne IPTV via een apart VLAN te laten lopen. Dit is NIET noodzakelijk. Dit kan namelijk ook gewoon via LAN.
    Als je dat wil doen, zorg dan dat je de firewall rules uit IPTV_LAN overneemt (incl. ip options!) naar je LAN firewall rules.

    Hieronder een reeks screenshots zoals ik het geconfigureerd heb.
    Voor vragen kun je me altijd benaderen via comments onder aan deze pagina. (registreren noodzakelijk i.v.m. spam)

    Interface Assignments

    In mijn configuratie zijn onderstaande aansluitingen van belang:
    Igb0 = WAN (verbonden via UTP-kabel aan de NTU)
    Igb1 = LAN
    Igb3 = IPTV_LAN

    wan Interface details
    lan Interface details
    iptv_wan Interface details
    iptv_lan Interface details
    FiREWALL RULES LAN
    FIRewall rules iptv_Wan

    Let op! Bij de bovenste regel is via Advanced options ‘Allow IP options’ aangevinkt’

    FIRewall rules iptv_LAn

    Let op! Bij de bovenste 2 regels is via Advanced options ‘Allow IP options’ aangevinkt’

    IGMP PROXY
    NAT OUTBOUND

    Set Outbound Nat mode op ‘Hybrid mode’.
    Zorg dat je onderstaande mapping toevoegd. Er zullen ook automatische rules aangemaakt worden.

    EXTRA AANDACHT VOOR:

    • Als je de Settopbox rechtstreeks aansluit op een netwerkaansluiting van pfsense, raakt de pfsense interface disconnected tijdens her-/opstart van de settopbox. De IGMP-Proxy crasht daardoor. Het via een switch aansluiten van van de settop box loste dit probleem op.

  • Unable to update snap store

    Then you have the following error code:
    ” Unable to update “Snap Store”:
    (null): cannot refresh “snap-store”: snap “snap-store” has
    running apps (ubuntu-software)”

    Force stop snap-store and refresh:
    snap-store --quit && sudo snap refresh snap-store

    This updates the snap store store.

  • Proxmox Host backup

    Backup the following folders/files:

    /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db
    /etc/corosync/*
    /etc/network/interfaces
    /etc/hostname
    /etc/hosts

  • Create sensor for remaining battery time

    In this example the home battery system has a capacity of 300Ah (15kWh / 48V).
    As a safe minimal value is 15% capacity left is chosen. When grid is failing, there is still 2.5kWh left. When charging occurs, this will be shown instead of the remaining time.

    You can use the created sensor ‘sensor.template_time_left_on_battery_min_soc’ to display on your dashboard.

  • Proxmox backup already exists

    When you run into this error:

    “TASK ERROR: zfs error: cannot create ‘rpool/vm-302-state-update’: dataset already exists”

    Try this solution:

    1
    zfs destroy rpool/vm-302-state-update

  • Proxmox ZFS replace drive

    1: have a look what is there:

    ls -alh /dev/disk/by-id/
zpool status
zpool list -v

    2: set the hard drive you want to change offline:

    zpool offline "POOLNAME"  "HARD-DRIVE-ID or the whole path"
## example:
zpool offline rpool wwn-0x50014ee25ba1a5e4

    3: change the hard drives physically
    shutdown and replace the disk (no hot-swap)

    4: create an empty GPT Partition Table on the new hdd with parted:

    parted /dev/new-disk
(parted)# print
(parted)# mklabel GPT
(parted)# Yes
(parted)# q
