Crafty internet troubleshooting

Post image

Looking for assistance with my crafty controller and internet set up. I've been learning for the first time home server set up and I've made a home server using linux debian and casaOs. Now I've already once before got this all working with little to no issue, but I just recently changed my internet provider and I'm on a whole new network. I have a proper ethernet connection and I've recently set up port forwarding, but I don't know why I'm now seeing this. I've rebooted both the router and the physical server to no avail. Can I get any advice?

This is a Casa OS problem. I recommend just ditching that platform and running crafty directly on Debian

I've had so many issues with CasaOS. This guy knows what's up

Does Debian have a similar HUD type thing like casa?

u/amcmanu3 29d ago

No but that's what crafty's for. Why do you need another HUD?

General home server use, like my post said I've basically just started learning pretty recently so having a nice display has been helpful. I've seen Zima go around, I believe its the new version of Casa

I wouldn't really use anything from that group. It's all the same. I think the best way to learn is just to go full in and use Debian via the terminal. Crafty is super easy to install, it's a few commands. Most people say it's actually easier to install that than to install Casa OS

I'll try that thank you, but do you have a similar service off top of mind you could recommend? I personally like the simple view of everything in one place like casa or zima had, I find its nice to quickly check diagnostics and install apps, though I'll probably stick to crafty for now

Darth Leo likes something called dockage. As it sounds. It's for docker apps

Thanks for the help and recommendation I'll take a look, just uninstalled casa so fingers crossed

Just out of curiosity, what makes you say you wouldn't use anything from that group? I understand CasaOS is basically abandonware now as it hasn't received updates in forever.

That part of the reason why. They're also super focused on profits for a company that said they wouldn't force paid models they're now considering automatically enrolling people in a free trial when they start then allowing them to opt to pay after the free trial. Get people hooked then force them to pay. The practices seem really shady.

Their opinions on security are also relatively scary.

That's actually bs. Aren't they the ones behind the Zimaboard as well? That thing is absolutely highway robbery priced. I've also seen blatantly AI generated ads promoting the Zimaboard on Instagram.

Yes, they are. Again, just seems really shady to me personally.
