    Custom docker network with virtual bridge separate from host.

    in Docker Engine

    Posted

    Currently i have a Nginx Proxy Manager docker sitting on its own reverseproxy docker network, this does a port translate from 18443 to 443, within this network i have multiple dockers communicating through DNS on its own internal virtual switch. Now to get to NPM i have my router taking the DNS queries and sending them to a virtual IP on the router to port translate to 18443. 

     

    What id like to achieve is moving the reverseproxy docker network away from the host network bridge 192.168.1.10 and give it a virtual bridge ip of say 192.168.1.15, this way i can just send the DNS resolutions straight to NPM with no forwards or port translations, NPM could operate on 443 and unraid could use 443 for webui. I also like the idea of having the images handled by NPM on its own network so i cant just give NPM the ip for this would remove the reverseproxy docker network.

     

    How i currently have it works fine, its just seems redundant and messy doing it this way.

    OpenVPN Server & Client for unRAID 6.2+ (6.1 are still supported)

    in Plugin Support

    Hey

     

    After reading 35 page and eyes going a bit funny now i'm still lost as to what OpenVPN Client even does. Installed fine, took the ExpressVPN OVPN configs fine and started the VPN creating a TUN5 with a 10.x.x.x IP. Id say 90% of the posts in this thread are about the server plugin not the client plugin. what i wanted to do was replace the VPN connection my router has to ExpressVPN and set certain devices in my network (through DHCP) to point to the Unraid OpenVPN Client as the gateway to pipe their traffic through the VPN.

     

    So please correct me if i'm incorrect.

    OpenVPN Client Plugin for Unraid can not be used as a gateway for LAN traffic. I'm guessing it can only be used for Docker traffic and maybe Unraid traffic?

     

    Unraid a VM of Openwrt and a Unfaithful USB Nic

    in General Support

    Hey All

     

    So i normal trawl google and research to find my answers but this one is making me more bald. I have been using Unraid for many years but only as a server without VM's (lotsa Dockers though), in that respect i can work my way around it fairly well.

     

    What im trying to do....

    VM of OpenWRT which has a br0 Nic as LAN, a USB Nic as WAN connected to VDSL Modem (DHCP) and a OpenVPN client as a second WAN

     

    So Unraid works great and have it configured/working, i also have the OpenWRT installed, configured and working (DHCP, DNSCrypt, VPN, Policy Routing of IP's to different WANs).

     

    The issue starts if ever i need to do an unattended restart of Unraid, if i restart the Unraid server it all loads as its meant to but for some reason Unraid keeps a hold of the USB Nic and wont pass it through to the VM on first boot, if after it all settles i then stop the VM from the GUI and restart it then Unraid lets go of the Nic and OpenWRT loads as intended. Naturally if only Unraid loads and OpenWRT fails then i cant connect to it if im not there.

     

    Now then to mention some stuff that i know a few are so itching to tell me to do. This is all been run on a Asrock Desk Mini, its plenty powerful enough to do everything i want but only has 1 Nic and 2 Drives (oh and a nvme), so no i cant add a Pcie Nic, also it only has one USB controller so i cant assign it to the VM, im not looking to upgrade to anything bigger this size is perfect. No i dont have a parity drive but i back up to an external USB drive every few days. OpenWRT is great for simplicity sake and i have tried all the others like pfSense, untangled.......... aka OpenWRT is perfect for my needs and i have it working perfectly. Yes i already have a Netgear Nighthawk router (which is now in access point mode) and it would defeat the purpose of the VPN to use it.

     

    Basically i need to find a way to force Unraid not to take a hold of the USB Nic when it boots (sounds so simple but F@#K its not).

     

    Sorry if i sound narky ive just read far to many posts where someone will always recommends to do exactly the opposite of what the OP is looking for.
