  • I was correct that it is a networking error
    cannot bind to local IPv4 socket: Cannot assign requested address

    current ifconfig says:

    enp7s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 169.254.210.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 169.254.255.255 inet6 fe80::9a40:bbff:fe28:459b prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 98:40:bb:28:45:9b txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 15 bytes 900 (900.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1466 bytes 492951 (492.9 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 78 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

I have one of these routers I attempted to upload firmware from the gui and now I cannot access it and no wifi networks show up.
I can access the serial console and attempted to run a TFTP server from my pc in order to re-flash but it just times out when I try to load the firmware from the server.
I have the IP of the server set to 0.0.0.0:69 when I try to set it to 10.10.10.3 (per the wiki) The server on my pc won’t start and gives an error. I know it’s probably a network setting that won’t let me set the correct ip address, just not sure where to go from here. Any help is appreciated.

I’ve self hosted a lot of things on my own network without issue for a long time. However, I’m having trouble grasping how a few things work with lemmy as it uses a series of docker containers and some configuration files on the host. I guess I don’t really understand where things like encryption certs are stored and how I could change that if I wanted to or how to get into a database and retrieve user info or even reset the admin password if that got lost somehow. I run daily automatic backups, so it shouldn’t be a big issue if something goes sideways, but I’d rather be able to fix it rather than having to reset.
