Hello,

I have two young kids and lately, I am having a lot of anxiety and sadness thinking about how the current climate crisis will affect them.

I also have regrets because I decided to have children while knowing about the climate crisis. At the time, I was optimistic, but no so much anymore.

It has been hitting me hard the last few days. How do you cope/deal with this as a parent?

Thanks

Solved : I was still on my local network instead of my LTE network, so I was accessing the global ip through the local network, and thus the access page.

Hello,

I am running OPNSense as my router for my ISP and my local network.

When I access my global ip, it lands me on the login page of my OPNSense router. Is that normal?

The only Firewall WAN Rule I added is the rule to enable my Wireguard instance (and I disabled it to test if that was the issue)

I was messing with the NAT Outbound for the Road Warrior setup as explained in the OPNSense Road Warrior tutorial, but that rule is also disabled.

I enabled OutboundDNS to override a local domain.

And I have a dynamic DNS to access my VPN with a FQDN instead of the ip directly.

But otherwise, I have the vanilla configuration. I disabled all of these rules I've created to make sure that they weren't the issue, and I can still access my OPNSense from the WAN interface.

So is that a normal default behaviour? If so, how can I disable the access to the OPNSense portal from the WAN and keep it from within one of my LAN/VLAN?

*** For anyone stumbling on this post, and is as newbie as I am right now, forward auth doesn't work with FireflyIII.

I thought that forward auth was the same as a proxy, but in this case, it is the proxy that provides the x-authentik tags.

So for Firefly, set up Authentik as a proxy provider and not a forward auth.

I haven't figured out the rest yet, but at least, x-authentik-email is in my header now.

Good luck ***

Hello,

I am trying to setup Authentik to do a forward auth for Firefly3, using caddy. I am trying to learn External authentication so my knowledge is limited.

My setup is as follows.

By looking at the Firefly doc Firefly doc, I need to set AUTHENTICATION_GUARD=remote_user_guard AUTHENTICATION_GUARD_HEADER=HTTP_X_AUTHENTIK_EMAIL in my .env file. I used the base .env file provided by Firefly and modified only these two lines

Then, in my Authentik, I made a forward auth for a single application for firefly. This part seem to work because the redirection is made. The external host is my Firefly ip address.

Then from the example provided in the Authentik provider, I created my caddy file on the Firefly container to redirect port 80 to my custom port 9080.

:80 {
        # directive execution order is only as stated if enclosed with route.
        route {
                # always forward outpost path to actual outpost
                reverse_proxy /outpost.goauthentik.io/* http://10.0.1.7:9080/

                # forward authentication to outpost
                forward_auth http://10.0.1.7:9080/ {
                        uri /outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/caddy

                        # capitalization of the headers is important, otherwise they will be empty
                        copy_headers X-Authentik-Username X-Authentik-Groups X-Authentik-Email X-Authentik-Name X-Authentik-Uid X-Authentik-Jwt X-Authentik-Me>

                        # optional, in this config trust all private ranges, should probably be set to the outposts IP
                        trusted_proxies private_ranges
                }

        }
}

EDIT : The IP address of Firefly is 10.0.1.8

When I try to go on my Firefly app, the Authentik redirection is made and it tries to connect to the Firefly webpage,but I either get unable to connect when I try the https, or Looks like there’s a problem with this site when I try to connect with http.

I see that the connection is refused in both case.

I made sure that my email on my account on firefly matches the email from the Authentik user.

I tried googling my problem to no avail and the Firefly documentation is pretty scarce.

Any help would be welcome.

Hello,

I am trying to setup Authelia using apalrd tutorial.

In the configuration file, I need to setup a SMTP server to send email from.

I am currently using proton mail and they don't have smtp support out of the box, you have to go through their bridge.

I've tried to find tutorial on how to use Proton Bridge CLI to be able to use it as my SMTP locally, but the information seems scarce on that front. (keep in mind that I am no expert).

So my question is as follows : what are my option to have a functional SMTP configuration on my Authelia server?

Thank you

Hello,

a few weeks ago I started my training journey and I am still training, which is a record for me. I'm finishing my first cycle this week and next week and I am planning the next cycle. However, I have a lot of questions and need some help.

Context

I am a 37 yo male that did a lot of sports when I was in my teens/early 20s, but I became sedentary and my diet was shit. I had my second child in October and from October to end of December, I lost 25lbs by changing my diet which motivated me to start training.

On Youtube, I found Jeff Nippard and Renaissance Periodization which gave me a lot of information on how to change my diet (which is ongoing still, but since the end of December, I lost another 5 lbs without trying) and also a lot of information on how to train. And that is how I started weight lifting.

I have two young kids, so it was important to me that I could train at home with minimal equipment, and that is why I bought the Dumbbells only 3 days training from Renaissance Periodization. I only had to buy a set of 10lbs dumbbells (already had 5lbs) and I could start working out.

I wasn't able to properly finish the whole cycle (I'll describe why later), but I am still very proud of what I accomplished. I worked out when sleep wasn't great (won't be for a while with a 3 months old), even if time was short, or if the motivation wasn't there to begin with. I stuck with the training and diet changes, and my body started changing and it was/is a great motivator to continue.

Since I did a lot of sports that require leg muscles (Volley-Ball and Soccer), my legs are a lot stronger than my arms and my core is decent.

Training Program

The Renaissance Periodization 3 day trainings with dumbbells only is as follows : Each day is 3 exercices + 3 SuperSets of 2 exercices. 1 or 2 days rest between each Day to make sure that the body is completely healed and ready for training.

The program is a 6-weeks program. The first week is 2x sets of myo reps (5-30 reps). Each week, a new set is added. Week 6 (the last week) is deload week, so only 1 set.

Day 1:

• Medium Push-ups
• Chair Shoulder Press
• Upright rows
• One-arm rows / Goblet Squat
• Alternating Curls / Stiff-Legged DeadLift
• Crunches with top hold / Sumo DeadLift

Day 2:

• High Bent Rows
• Supinating Curls
• Paused Side Raises
• Reaching Sit-ups / Double-legged Glute Bridges
• Two-arm standing extensions / Sumo Stiff-Legged DeadLift
• Narrow Push-ups / Sumo Squats (shoulder rack)

Day 3:

• Bent Upright rows
• Sumo Squats (shoulder racks)
• Good Mornings
• Forward Lunges in place / Slow down reaching situps
• Hammer Curls / Two-Arm standing extension
• Medium Push-ups / Elbows Out bent row

My issues with the program

1. This week was my week 4 of the program and I hit a big wall. I started strong in my two last training, but halfway through the training, I was out of energy. The compound exercices + the number of sets killed me. The progression is too much for me, so I will be deloading a week sooner because I won't be able to do more progression next week. So the program gets too tough for a newbie like me, especially considering that my sleep is not great with young kids. My strength grew a lot during this cycle, but my systemic fatigue is really high right now.

2. Since my legs are stronger, I can do more reps/load, but it also means that it needs more time to heal. My legs are the limiting factor in the frequency of the trainings because they always take 2 days to heal, while my arms are usually good to go after a day of rest. I was hoping to do 3 trainings a week, but it was 3 trainings every 9 days because I had to take 2 days of rest between

3. Lots of compound exercices, which sometimes limited my reps for other exercices. For example, on day 2, after the supinating curls and Side raises, my arms are dead. So when I do the Reaching sit-ups, I am limited by my ability to raise the weights over my head. I have to stop because my arms can't hold the weight anymore, not because my abs are grilled. Same thing on Day 3 with the push in the last SuperSet. My arms are done, so I can't do a lot of push-ups.

Why I need help

I would like to start a fat loss phase soon, and I would like a sustainable training program to accompany that fat loss phase.

I plan on doing a 6 weeks phase, so I would like a 6 weeks program that will end on week 7 with a deload. The current program doesn't work for me, because of the reasons above

What equipment do I have?

• 5lbs, 10lbs and adjustable up to 20lbs dumbbels
• I bought a workout bench, without a barbell rack
• Pull-up door bar.
• Gym rings
• Movable dip bars

What exercices I don't like in the current program

• One arm rows : They feel extremly awkward. I tried different variations, they always feel out of place.

• Reaching Sit-ups with heavy arms : As I mentionned above, the limiting factor in the current program for this exercises is my arm fatigue.

• Push-up is fine, but every workout, with two days where the exercise is in the last SuperSet, it takes its toll

What kind of help do I need?

I would like to start from the program I already have, and modify it to fit my needs. I would like to put emphasis on my arms and on my core.

I would like to add exercises to build my strength to do pull-ups.

I would like to remove the pain points that I have of the current program and mix straight sets with myo reps. I am open to also try myo matchs.

I would like my weight training days to be Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The weekend is always chaos, and that way, I can have 2 days to heal on the week-end, and go harder on fridays.

Conclusion

So this is why I came here to post. My first thought was to remove the exercises I don't like, and replace them with other exercises. However, I don't know how to reorganise the sets and progression to reach my goal.

I was thinking of keeping one or two SuperSets per training days and separate the other supersets into single exercises.

I was also thinking of keeping the myoreps for the arms and core exercises and going straight sets for legs exercises.

The only thing I know for sure is that I don't want to keep the one-arm rows in the program.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for your help.
