Cisco definitely encouraged it with their examples.

But the admin should have known better when setting up their environment.

Agreed. They are junk. Esp the clowns that used 1.1.1.1 for them.

They probably don’t wanna deal with providing a secure way to interact with a captive portal.

I haven’t tried setting up jellyfin myself. However, if you’re able to use pcie passthrough on your container, you could probably use any spare card you might have? (assuming it fits and your psu can handle it)

Oh thanks I must have missed that in the title.

The xeon does have more cache too. So if the GPU acceleration is the make or break it option. You could toss a card in there.

I’m assuming you’re talking about version 1 of the 2620.

Although the xeon is the weaker processor, if you’re planning on having those containers active together the larger thread count will potentially be more beneficial than the faster i7.

But this is one of those things where you’d need to test against both and see. Since there’s a bunch at play.

I’m assuming the xeon comes with ECC ram?

I’d decide based on how loud it’s gonna make my homelab, if I get to use ECC ram and the type of workload being applied.

Since you’re just looking to make a router the xeon would be my tentative choice.

So it depends. For example some legacy apple stuff had a bad DHCP implementation where it would try to hold onto an IP address it had before.

When there’s one DHCP server with a reserved ip it won’t assign that ip to the wrong device. (Unless you’re running some buggy software that takes your configuration as suggestions)

Where the advice to set it anyways comes from scenarios where that DHCP server goes down for long enough that everyone starts self assigning addresses. It’s a real hassle to find the correct system when that happens.

Are you able to use an additional hub between the USBC port and dock? I’m wondering if that additional nested hub might bypass the issue at hand.

The other commentor made a good point. It sounds like defective software for the dock. They are thinking if you disable the power management features you might be able to get it to fire up. Does the gigabit adapter show up at all in device manager?

If I had to guess you’re experiencing a bug with the firmware of your board or a driver issue. (check for bios and driver updates on the manufacturers page before proceeding)

Somewhere in your bios you should be able to control the USB ports.

Try looking for something along the lines of xHCI handoff and try toggling the options to see if that resolves it.

Oh wow, I feel that should be a bug report.

My pixel 6 doesn’t do that.

I’m wondering if there’s something screwy with the android auto settings.

Try renaming your device and unpairing everything.

My clients when they text me the server is down.
