  • When I say two servers I mean two VMs to get the system to work effectively.

    From memory, the admin interface doesn’t get an SSL certificate issued to it. It perpetually stays HTTP. If you don’t set up another server as a reverse proxy, it won’t let you log in due to CORS issues. Add another server as a reverse proxy, and it’ll come good and let you log in.

    Hopefully that makes sense?





  • I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.

    From an Aussie where our Internet is somewhat considered a “public utility” (NBNCo), it’s not the best. I’m paying $130/mo (Aussie bucks) for 250/100 fibre.

    Our NTDs are capable of gigabit symmetrical, but thanks to our Lord and Saviour, Rupert Murdoch, it was essentially limited speed wise and the network was built with ridiculous complexity, such as the CVC constraints (Connectivity Virtual Circuit), which means ISPs have to buy additional bandwidth and hope and pray that every user doesn’t max out their connections at the same time.

    For example, the POI (Point of Interconnect) I’m connected to has a total of 1.5Gbps with the ISP I’m with. Based on their stats which they make public to customers, I’m guesstimating that there’s approximately ~50 other households in my POI area connected with this ISP. We all have to share that bandwidth otherwise it slows to a crawl.

    ETA: I’m purely talking about the FTTP network here, not the other part of the mess that is NBNCo and FTTN/C/B, Fixed Wireless, Satellite & HFC… the NBN is a complete mess.
