I will be doing some livestreams again in the month of April once things settle down here, I am currently onboarding a new client for my business and have been very busy getting that done.

I have not figured out a set schedule for the livestreams and whether or not they will be every Saturday at 10am or whether I will do something every other week or monthly.

But I do know you will be able to find that information here and at our website at https://unkyjoesplayhouse.com

Take care and hope to see you in the livestreams soon  ]]>

Initially I was hosting my Nginx Proxy Manager as a docker container under my Synology NAS, the forum software I am running, "MYBB" as part of it's spam prevention logs the IP address of people signing up, however the proxy server was reporting my local IP instead of passing through the public IP to the forum software thus triggering the failure as it kept seeing the same IP sign up.

Compounding the issue was that my reverse proxy was running under Synology in bridged mode instead of host.

Using Grok I came to the conclusion that I was better off to sping up a LXC container version og Nginx Proxy Manager and use this. I did so and after a few tweaks to the nginx.conf_realip file under hestia "webhosting software" and then a small change to the NPM config file I was finally able to get the real IP passed through to MYBB.

In addition to this, Grok was able to help me with getting the e-mail setup properly so that new users can get their confirmation e-mails, in addition to notices I send out from the board as well.

So thanks for all your patience during this time, and please feel free to explore and post some subjects to get things rolling.]]>

Unkyjoe here—welcome to the official announcements spot!

This is where I'll drop the big (and small) updates straight from the channel:

• New video premieres & uploads
  
• Livestream schedules (homelab builds, solar tweaks, Proxmox deep dives, etc.)
  
• Behind-the-scenes stuff, gear hauls, or "what's next" teases
  
• Community polls, Q&A sessions, or calls for your build ideas
  
• Any channel news, merch drops (if we ever get there), or fun collabs
  

Recent/Upcoming Highlights (I'll keep this section updated—reply below if you want something pinned!):

• Latest Drop: Drive Upgrades on my Synology DS1621+ – just posted! Check it out if you're tweaking storage or thinking about cache/SSD swaps. Feedback welcome here or in Video Discussions.
  
• Fresh One: Self Hosting - Ghost CMS - Easy Install (super straightforward guide if you're ditching bigger platforms).
  
• Proxmox Lab Series: Archival NAS with TrueNAS is live—more episodes coming soon on clustering, backups, and maybe some low-power/solar tie-ins.
  
• Next Up? Thinking about a deeper solar + homelab efficiency build (running servers off-grid style during Texas peak sun). Got ideas? Drop 'em below!
  
• Livestream Vibes: Planning some weekend live troubleshooting or build sessions—stay tuned for times (usually evenings CDT).
  

Quick Rules for this Thread:

• Keep it announcement-related (no off-topic memes here—save those for The Playhouse Lounge ?).
  
• Feel free to reply with questions, hype, or suggestions—I'll jump in!
  
• If it's video-specific chat, head over to Video Discussions for deeper threads.
  

Hit that subscribe bell on YouTube if you haven't already (@UnkyjoesPlayhouse), and turn on notifications here too so you never miss an update.

Thanks for being part of the Playhouse—y'all make the tinkering way more fun. Let's keep building cool stuff!
