 Zhaofeng Li | Oh wait, apparently I can't read and you are using it as an AP 😐️ Then it should work and systemd-networkd was probably trying to bridge the interface before hostapd started | 00:00:34 |
 ElvishJerricco | Ah. How would I mess with the unit files to ensure proper ordering? | 00:00:59 |
| Zhaofeng Li | I don't think there's a clean solution to this one unfortunately. You can keep it unbridged in networkd and add a service that runs brctl after hostapd has started | 00:02:27 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Oh it's a long-standing known issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/936 | 00:03:05 |
| Zhaofeng Li | So yeah, no clean solution :/ | 00:03:26 |
| ElvishJerricco | Well darn | 00:05:21 |
 hexa | ElvishJerricco: hostapd can put stuff into a bridge, not sure how it achieves that, but networkd can't | 00:08:32 |
| hexa | have to read hostapd code for that I guess | 00:08:41 |
| hexa | or yeah, might be a timing issue | 00:08:48 |
| ElvishJerricco | hexa: So I shouldn't have wlan0 in the br0.interfaces = [...] line? | 00:09:11 |
| hexa |
A WIFI interface needs to be set in 4addr mode before it's added to a bridge.
| 00:09:19 |
| hexa | that's probably it | 00:09:23 |
| hexa |
iw dev $name set 4addr on
| 00:09:33 |
| hexa | sadly networkd is free of hooks :) | 00:09:42 |
| hexa | services.hostapd.serviceConfig.ExecStartPost = "systemctl restart systemd-networkd"; | 00:10:34 |
| hexa | should probably hackfix your stuff :D | 00:10:42 |
| ElvishJerricco | Well, simply removing it from the br0.interfaces makes it "degraded" instead of "failed", and hostapd does seem to have added it to the bridge itself as the wifi still works | 00:13:37 |
| Zhaofeng Li | For the degraded thing, use LinkLocalAddressing=no to make networkd not try to add addresses to it at all | 00:16:30 |
| ElvishJerricco | Zhaofeng Li: Where do I add that? | 00:19:07 |
| Zhaofeng Li | To the networkConfig of the wlan interface | 00:21:01 |
 Church | hexa So got my mailserver working heh. Nice and smooth like as far as outgoing. Just need to get ingoing smtp from remotes to my mail server working. But that's a job for another day. | 01:25:36 |

Pro-tipp: If you are new to setting up mailserver, you might want to check if your email server is an open relay: https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=smtp%3amail.thalheim.io&run=toolpage | 07:09:41 |

| Church | Yeah was a stupid thing. Somehow my mailinthebox system on my vps proxy got restarted. So they were blocking my ports heh | 17:20:23 |
