Good Morning from my Robotics Lab! This is Shadow_8472 with a side project for the week. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mother needed an extra browser, so I installed Firefox hardened it a little. I took the liberty of adding the Bitwarden plugin, encouraging her to make an account on my self-hosted instance. Remembering my failure so far to diagnose the \u201cNetwork Error\u201d blocking log in, I spared the time to learn how new Bitwarden clients are slightly incompatible with old Vaultwarden servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I easily could have updated Vaultwarden with maybe a note on the blog Discord. Instead, I felt like adding VaultwardenUsr@localhost to Cockpit with \u201cAdd new host.\u201d This stunt worked at the cost of forwarding shadow8472@ButtonMash to VaultwardenUsr@ButtonMash when to logging in. Relogging didn\u2019t help, and the hosts list saw VaultwardenUsr as the primary login \u2013 disallowing me from removing it, and as a remote login \u2013 blocking my attempts to add my real primary account back in with the same stunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While exploring this bug, I logged into my old laptop server and linked its Cockpit back into ButtonMash without getting forwarded to VaultwardenUsr. At this point, I submitted a bug report to Cockpit\u2019s GitHub. I soon found the malformed host list at \/etc\/cockpit\/machines.d\/99-webui.json. I backed it up, purged the malformed entry, and updated GitHub with my workaround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out of curiosity, I added VaultwardenUsr@192.168.0.— as an alternate host. This sends packets for an extra detour, but it works as required. Only after all this did I update my Vaultwarden image from Docker Hub and deploy a new container from it using the same command as the last two successful times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: While working on next week\u2019s project, I logged into VaultwardenUsr@127.0.0.1 and other loopback IP\u2019s with no problems. It\u2019s just name@localhost that causes problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 day for the win! My push for PiHole and supporting network projects has been intense lately, so it\u2019s great to have a smaller project where I still learn while by doing something important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever misused a software feature successfully? What challenges did you face before getting it to work how you had in mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
