Hi all, Iām desperate. This has been draining my brain cells one a time. I know for a fact that it is not an ABS issue, because it runs flawlessly locally and it has never even hitched once. The shit starts when I connect through my cloudflare ā.comā domain that I just bought last week thinking itāll solve all my problems (nope).
Every now and then, the frontend client I use (it doesnāt matter which one I use) just disconnects from my ABS server and things just start spinning for a very long time. Just out of nowhere and half of my books are just ghosts because it canāt reach the sever. It acts as if the ABS server becomes inactive and cloudflare just shuts off its tunnel. Itās like the ABS server stops telling cloudflare āyo, Iām up, give me a passā but cloudflare doesnāt hear/see it and just disconnects it anyway, if that makes any sense.
Sometimes it comes back, and others I have to go into my Debian server and restart the cloudflared service I have for it, in order for the service to resume. I often go to the web interface and either get a red error message complaining about websocket something something. Then Iād refresh the page and either get thrown into the login screen and get stuck there or get the āoops couldnāt find libraryā¦ā¦ā¦ā.
Iāve literally disabled everything I can on cloudflare dashboard that now probably a child can hack me. lol . I even put my audiobooks server in its own tunnel.
Iām at a point that Iām just gonna give up and deactivate all of this cloudflare shit and go back to tailscale and switching servers between home and out of home.
Iām asking for any suggestions if youāve ever been through something similar. Searching the internet lead me to doing many things that didnāt even fix it. Donāt even get me started on AI.
Thank you in advance. Let me know if you want any details: Debian Trixie and the latest ABS server. Your average .com cloudflare domain are the things I have.
Edit: one little detail I forgot to mention maybe it could be of help. My phone and the pc are both running through pihole and my own DNS with unbound.
Sighā¦
I hate to add to this by saying I also have the same issue and not provide anything helpful.
Things that made it better?
Pointing my https cloudflare domain at my local through pihole was basically just like switching servers in the app, because it still required me to switch servers. Might as well just do that. Also, by cloudflare proxy you mean the little orange cloud they have on the records in the dashboard?
For now I have been using the Android app I built to switch between local and remote very quickly. I put the menu right in the home screen so itās just two clicks and Iām off. Iām also going to add an option in the settings to switch servers automatically based on the connected network, so itās seamless and I wonāt have to fuss with it.
Oh, then something is wrong with your DNS. You should have a forwarder setup, then you donāt need two ABS servers.
Please tell me more about this forwarder thing. Right now. I have a local server that is your usual regular 192.168ā¦ā¦:13378 then I have my books.mydomain.com and this goes through a cloudflare tunnel on its own, and is the one giving me trouble. Anymore details on the forwarder would be great
