Hello UnRaid community,
I'm glad to have found my way here and hope you all had a great start into 2024.
I started 2024 in trying to setup my first 'Homelab' with a thin client working with Unraid.
Thanks to one of those YouTube videos. And well, it went so-so so far.
Needless to say, I'm still super new to the whole thing and have no real knowledge of networks and the whole jargon yet.
In the end, those darn YouTube videos tend to make it seem sooo easy.
At this point, I had no luck YouTubing and searching more, which is why I'm asking here.
My general goal using Unraid on a thin client is the following:
Use AdGuard to filter all outgoing requests
Host one or the other gaming server, for friends to join
Setup a plex library
Set the thin client up as an additional internal storage solution
The first big hurdle:
I have an ISP Box (LiveBox 4 from Orange in France)
It needs to remain touch point for internet access (192.168.1.1)
I can deactivate it as a DHCP Server
I can fix static IPs
AdGuard (as a Docker solution via Siwat2545's repository) needs to be the DHCP Server to be able to filter traffic.
When AdGuard is set up as DHCP Server - I lose the initial static IP of my thin client (and thus access to my Unraid)
The thin client won't show up as a connection in AdGuard DHCP Server settings.
The new thin client IP visible in my LiveBox after changing DHCP Server won't open the dashboard - just a 'no site' error.
While the same IP address + the :180 (port I used) opens the Adguard dashboard without an issue.
I could only ever get access to my Unraid dashboard again by restarting the thin client & having my LiveBox 4 play DHCP server again.
Restarting both (not having AdGuard in autostart) and using the new assigned IP from the LiveBox.
So, I'm not aware of how complex or simple this topic might be, but I'm clearly not sure what direction to take.
Did I just forget to add /dashboard at the end of the new IP?
TLDR:
I want to use AdGuard as a docker from my ThinClient as a DHCP server for all traffic without losing access to Unraid's Dashboard.
How can I do that?
