Self-Hosting Nextcloud Talk on TrueNAS with Custom Domain for Private Family Calls

A detailed tutorial explains how to deploy Nextcloud Talk on a TrueNAS server behind a home router and expose it securely through a custom domain managed by HestiaCP. The author replaces reliance on VK and Telegram with a self-hosted solution that delivers reliable push notifications and video calls for family members using iPhones and other devices. The setup involves DNS configuration, port forwarding on an Asus RT-N12 router, reverse proxy rules in nginx or Apache, and deployment of a coturn TURN server for NAT traversal. Additional steps cover disabling DoS protection, adding trusted domains in Nextcloud, and configuring TURN credentials so that calls work reliably outside the local network. The resulting system supports screen sharing, link-based meetings, reactions, message editing, and Apple Watch notifications while keeping all data under user control.

Expired Certificates, Zero-Byte Keystore and Missing '@': Reviving Huawei SANEX9510 Without Database Restart

A detailed postmortem reveals how a long-dead Huawei SANEX9510 telecom OSS platform was restored in three days after ten months of downtime. The outage involved seven independent failures across four separate TLS circuits, including expired certificates, an empty PKCS#12 keystore, a truncated encrypted password missing its leading '@', and an incompatible private-key encryption format that the product's legacy OpenSSL could not process. Technicians mapped every keystore dependency, rebuilt identities with modern OpenSSL parameters matching PBKDF2 and HMAC-SHA512, and verified mTLS handshakes on ports 29301, 6688 and FTPS without rebooting servers or Sybase IQ. Connection leaks to the database were resolved by restarting only the Store component, avoiding any password resets or schema changes. The case highlights the absence of certificate-expiry warnings and the difficulty of diagnosing legacy Java/OpenSSL stacks where error messages bear little relation to root causes.
