The use of samba was to make access the the storage folder easy for the end user on their (most likely) windows pc. The entire project is to make a dummy proof method of backing up critical files to the server. Unfortunately I would have very limited control of the user side other than the rpi, so I...
Trying to workout what my best options are for a remote access/backup setup. Here is the basic overview of the project; Pi zero or full size rpi at a remote location with a single samba share folder. Files (generally a word doc and audio file) are read/written on this share from the users workstatio...
Running a few OSMC rpi units in the house and have my Kore app on my Android phone configured with all the location names, user/pass, etc. Is there a way to copy these configurations to the other phones and tablets or is there a better remote app I can use and do this?
I know this is an older thread, but I just stumbled on it. I am an alarm installer, specifically DSC products. If you are looking to use the individual zones from your older 5010 system, there are a couple things you need to confirm. First off, looking at only wired zones, contacts and motion detect...
Does anyone know if it is possible to bind two totally different networks to the same interface (eth1)? The issue I am running into is I have 3 wireless access points on the main backbone through the house (not your average home network). Accessing the network via the wireless, would be our main lap...
What brand of camera and actual NVR are you working with? Most respectable brands have direct port forwarding options which would not require the use of their cloud software of DDNS. If the equipment used is proper pro grade, it would have ONVIF capability which means you can use pretty much any NVR...
Sorry, it is Rapbian strech. killed dhcpcd and added the resolv.conf info. It appears that each time I restart dnsmasq, it clears out the resolv.conf file back to default. The issue I am trying to resolve is what is shown in the logs below. The DNS 192.168.2.1 and the one after are provided by the I...
Probably a dumb slip up on my front. Running a RPI with DNSMASQ. IP addresses (both eth0 and eth1) are set in rc.local statically. For some reason, I am seeing in my log file for dnsmasq, that it is using my ISP provided DNS, which is very, very bad (especially with them redirecting domains, etc). S...
I decided to spend a bit working on my home firewall again today. Been a while since the PI originally in place died, taking all my lists with it. What I am looking for are blacklists either in hosts, IPTables or similar format for the following; LAN to WAN - Microsoft/NSA/CIA/ETC (Microsoft call ho...
I've had six running without any problems. But I think cable length may be a sticking point if you are going to run them from one pi to all points in your house, mine were all on 1m cables as that's all I need to reach the parts of the kit I wanted to monitor. Range of 40m using cat5 cable and a 2....
This is a pic of the controller unit as it sits right now. There is a 30A 12VDC and 30A 5VDC power supply in another can to run the 12v devices and all the RPIs and relays (half a dozen pi's in the cabinet beside running other network related functions). The black wires coming in at the top right ar...
Has anyone ran multiple (10+) single wire temp sensors on a single RPI? Anything I need to watch out for? Slowly piecing together my control system for the house and our like to include temp readouts for the various areas in the house. Currently using a single pi3 to control 24 relays for lighting, ...
Long story short, running a pi 3 as a gateway/router for almost 3 months since last reboot. Was told the internet was a bit flaky, so figured it was overdue for a checkup. Tried running apt-get update, and recieved an error listing libraries:libgcc.... Tried running just the command apt-get, same. T...
Is there a way to create an image of a rpi SD card while it is in use? I am currently running one of my rpi as my router/firewall and with the current usage in the house, I can not take it down for too long (minutes tops). Is there a way to do a backup so I can create a duplicate gateway /firewall i...
Just a quick question, of the two DHCPD services, is there any reason to choose isc-dhcp-server over DNSMASQ? I noticed a number of how too write-ups going through using isc-dhcp-server with DNSMASQ as the DNS server only, instead of using DNSMASQ for both items, and was just wondering why use the t...
Had a minor mishap with a typo while working on my network last night and lost one of my headless PIs. Checked my access points and found that the backdoor wifi connection was there, but couldn't find an IP for it on the DHCP server. The static eth0 was nowhere to be found on the network. I should m...
Issue resolved. A bit of a weird oversight on my part. Need to add a default gateway for all networks regardless of the gateway existing or not. Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 default 172.16.36.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 172.16.36.0 * 25...
The should be a simple task, but rusty old linux skills (ipchains anyone), are making this more than difficult. I'm trying to setup a pi to do proper routing between multiple networks in my home and internet. My dev setup is a fresh install of rasbian on a pi3, eth0 = 192.168.2.100 (internal Nic) et...
Since electronic components don't wear out unless they're maltreated, I wouldn't replace it until you've proved it faulty. Perhaps swap it with one of your others (you imply you have more than one) to see what happens. It could be as simple as a ventilation problem in the area you have it installed...
Was doing a checkup on the pi's on my network and noticed my PLC pi is not running right. Noted the cpu frequently and voltage a bit off. Replaced power supplies and even tossed in another known good image card and no go. Is it time to replace her? Current cpu frequently is 600mhz on a pi3 with core...
I am going to play with monitoring the arp requests and see what that gets me. I'm using this current bigger network as an example, but I run into this situation all the time on smaller networks where there is no documentation, and generally zero managed equipment. Most are not mission critical netw...
Are there any functional projects out there for running a couple RPI access points with handover functionally? I am taking ownership of a fairly large project house which will not be fully networked during the first few months of work. I have located where the main telco closet will be located and a...
