Little lost

Posted by DadlyPants123

Loving the spark box as I am figuring it out. However this my first time with something like this. I’m basically turning an old pc into a NAS with your spark box but am struggling to get it to download everything cuse my wireguard constantly disconnects. If anyone could help guide a poor lost soul to great beyond it would be much appreciated. I will say I have followed the guide to the tee but am super lost on why this keeps happening.

Welcome, and you're not lost. Turning an old PC into a NAS is a good project, and a VPN that keeps dropping is a fixable problem. Let's find out what the VPN is doing before we change anything. Two read-only steps: 1. Tell me what the machine is: a plain Linux PC, a NAS (brand if you know it), or Windows running WSL. Then run this and tell me the number it shows: cat /opt/sparkbox/VERSION 2. Run this and paste only the [VPN Tunnel] section here. Leave out any keys or passwords: sudo sparkbox doctor If you're on Windows, run both inside the WSL terminal. Please don't change any settings yet. Once I see that section, I can tell you the exact fix for what it reports.
