External Content youtu.be

Bash

docker run -d --name=watchtower \
-v /volume1/docker/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--restart=always \
containrrr/watchtower --cleanup --include-stopped --include-restarting --interval 21600

Watchtower updates your containers automatically without asking. For some, this is very useful, but for others who have to work with a container all the time, less so.

That's why there is also an option to always run Watchtower manually instead of automatically. You can find all of these options in the documentation.

Here is an example of a manual update of Calibre:

Bash

docker run --rm \
-v /volume1/docker/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
containrrr/watchtower \
--run-once calibre

docker run --rm creates the Watchtower container, runs it and when it is finished, it is automatically deleted.

Create symbolic link for docker.sock

Bash

ln -s /var/run/docker.sock /volume1/docker/docker.sock

I am creating this symbolic link because I was having problems with some containers accessing docker.sock. When I linked them like this, those containers no longer had any problems and ran perfectly.

Bash

docker run -d --name mongo \

With Synology you should be careful to use a 4.4.x version of the Mongo DB because 5.x is not compatible with the CPU of the device (maybe with newer devices this isn't the case anymore).

Bash

docker run -d --name=your_spotify_server \

-e SPOTIFY_PUBLIC=eurepublicid \
-e SPOTIFY_SECRET=eurepublicidsecret \
-e CORS=all \
--restart always \

ou must fill in the API and CLIENT endpoint according to your settings.

In the same way, you must take your Spotify PUBLIC and SECRET data from your developer account. Links to this are a little further down.

When filling in the data in the configuration on the Spotify page, it is important to fill in the correct redirect URI.

Bash

docker run -d --name=your_spotify_client \
-p 17812:3000 \

ISeeTWizard · SWAG - Secure Web Application Gateway ISeeTWizard 26 October 2025 at 13:55

SWAG is a reverse proxy software based on NGINX. I tried to do the same with Traefik but I failed - even if it worked somehow, many pages simply had missing information and were therefore useless.
SWAG has a lot of ready-made configuration files for frequently used programs integrated and is therefore very easy to use.
You can also have SSL certificates created automatically by Let's Encrypt and fail2ban is also on board.

However, there is a big problem on a Synology, namely ports 80 and 443. Although the DSM software runs on a different port, these two ports were blocked and redirected.

To get around this, there is a small script that I am giving you here. This is run via an SSH session and unlocks ports 80 and 443 again.

There are a lot of instructions on the internet about this but I found a script on Github that worked for me - a lot of things hadn't worked before. As always, I put the link below in the list of used links.

To run the script, please change to the directory where you created it and run it as follows:

Code

sudo ./free_ports.sh

Why this script? Well, as I said, it works, and above all it creates a backup of all changed files and tells you at the end what it has changed.

You can also decide which port should be used instead of 80 and 443 to then free them up.

It is best to save this script in a share under the name free_ports.sh, for example, and run it in an SSH session (don't forget sudo).

I use Bitvise, for example, as an SSH client under Windows - but there are countless others.

The script is supposed to always run at startup - but I haven't had to do that yet (my server restarts every day overnight - so it shuts down for 6 hours a night).

ISeeTWizard · Suspend/Resume Bitlocker ISeeTWizard 26 October 2025 at 13:16

Sometimes you need to suspend your Bitlocker Encryption in order to change some hardware.

Here a 2 ways to do it - you need admin rights to do it.

Powershell

Open Powershell as admin an run the following command to suspend the Bitlocker Encryption.

Code

Suspend-Bitlocker -MountPoint "C:" -RebootCount 0

Open Powershell as admin an run the following command to resume the Bitlocker Encryption

Code

Resume-Bitlocker -MountPoint "C:"

CMD

Open CMD as admin an run the following command to suspend the Bitlocker Encryption

Code

Manage-bde -Protectors -Disable C: -RebootCount 0

Open CMD as admin an run the following command to resume the Bitlocker Encryption

Code

Manage-bde -Protectors -Enable C:

Additional info

You may have noticed that both have an option with RebootCount. This is used to say to the system that after x reboots the system will automatically reactivate itself.

The value here can be maximum 15.

ISeeTWizard · Errors while activating Windows Server ISeeTWizard 26 October 2025 at 13:14

2016 (even 2012 / 2019 possibly also on newer editions)

Sometimes it can happen that a key entry is corrupt and you can't activate your Windows anymore and even worse through the GUI you can't change the product key or reinstall it.

So the only option is an elevated Powershell, like so often...

Remove the current key with:

Code

slmgr -upk

Install the new key (even if identical to the already installed one)

Code

slmgr -ipk yourkeyhere

It may take now 2-3 minutes until your installation is activated!

ISeeTWizard · Microsoft Windows Info Post ISeeTWizard 26 October 2025 at 13:13

First of all you need to know that this here is just an additional info page about Windows . You can find more info on the dedicated pages on the main site within the corresponding timeline area.

Since there are many versions of Windows , I thought I would install the different versions within a virtual system and show them to you.

The important thing is that if you want to copy it → remains legal
I have a license for every version of Windows shown except for versions 1 and 2, although I have to check to what extent these are still licensed. In the worst case, I only install them (test version) to show you and then delete them again.

The video will show up in the timeline within the specific version to not have everything in double and triple 🙂

ISeeTWizard · RDP client doesn't use stored credentials ISeeTWizard 26 October 2025 at 13:10

Sometimes the password for a remote desktop connection isn't saved. This is due too a local policy.

To change this you can do the following:

Code

open gpedit.msc

navigate to:
Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Credential Delegation

look for and open the following policy:
Allow saved credentials with NTML-only server authentication or
Allow delegating saved credentials with NTLM-only server authentication

select enabled and add your server/pc name where you want to connect 
ATTENTION: Don't forget to put TERMSRV/ before your machine name
and save password from in the list

run gpupdate

Display More

If that doen't work you may have to go to your credential manager and under Windows Credentials you have on top your saved Windows Credentials. Here you delete the entry of your machine and recreate on the same page but under generic credentials. Pay attention that you need to enter just your machine name here, not TERMSRV/ in front of it as it than won't work.

ISeeTWizard

To remove this annoying partition (there is always a popup of a full disk as this one doesn't have many space) you have to do the following:

Open a command prompt with administrative rights and execute the commands from this post.

Code

list volume
select volume <number of your volume>
remove letter=<drive letter of your volume>
exit

ISeeTWizard · Windows 10/11 Fast Startup Mode ISeeTWizard 26 October 2025 at 13:04

Maybe not so good for companies!

Windows 10 includes a feature called “Fast Startup”, which is enabled by default. The whole idea behind this feature is to make it so computers don’t take as long to boot up after being shut down (rather than going into hibernation or sleep).

It achieves this by essentially using a cut-down implementation of Windows Hibernation. Instead of saving all user and application state to a file like traditional hibernation, it only saves the kernel and system session to the hibernation file (no user session data) – that way when it “turns on”, it loads the previous system session into RAM and off you go. Its worth noting that this process doesn’t apply to reboots – only shutdowns. Reboots follow the traditional process of completely unloading the kernel and starting from scratch on boot-up.

Obviously, it’s a great idea for consumers – quicker boot-up and login times = happy consumers.

When you start using it in a corporate environment though, you can start running into some issues – primarily:

It can cause the network adaptor to not be ready prior to the user logging in. If you’re using folder redirection (without offline files – for computers that are always network-connected), then this isn’t such a good thing. It’s also not such a great thing for application of user-based group policies that only apply during login.
Some Windows Updates require the computer to be shut down/rebooted for them to install correctly. In the case of Fast Startup, the system isn’t really shutting down – it’s hibernating. Since users in corporate environments quite often just “shut down” at the end of the day (hibernate with Fast Startup), these updates don’t get installed. Of course there’s ways around this (have SCCM prompt the user to reboot, for example), but they’re not always an acceptable solution for every customer.

Obviously if the computer doesn’t support hibernation, there’s no issues.

If you’d like to disable Fast Startup, there doesn’t seem to be a specific GPO setting – you’ll have to use Group Policy Preferences instead. The relevant registry setting is here:

Code

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power\HiberbootEnabled    (1 = enable, 0 = disable)

Sometimes you need to connect to an AzureAD connected device but with the normal login credentials AzureAD\userid this isn't possible.

For these cases you have to modify the RDP file corresponding to this article. So open mstsc.exe and save the connection details to a place where you can find and open it.

Open the RDP file with notepad!!

Now check the following:

This value should be present but maybe have another value:

Code

authentication level:i:2

This is the value to add:

Code

enablecredsspsupport:i:0

With these values the mstsc client will connect to the machine and only at that point your credentials are asked. If you have Windows Hello for Business activated please be aware that not the pin code is asked but the normal user password.

ISeeTWizard · Windows User Profile (corrupt/deleted) ISeeTWizard 26 October 2025 at 13:02

Sometimes Windows Profiles gets corrupt especially roaming profiles or if different users are working on the same machine someone is deleting files from another profile just for fun or what ever.

Than it often happens that you get a temporary profile (a small popup appears on the bottom right when login in.

Depending on what Windows version and theme it may look like this:

Than you have some possibilities to restore normal functionality of that user profile (but all settings will always be gone).

Moving entire profile as backup and deleting it from the advanced system settings

When the profile of a user is corrupt you have to recreate it. Sometimes users have several GB of data and copying that as backup takes often too long and so you can simply move the users directory. But be aware that you must be in the correct settings page before doing that.

First of all: Reboot the machine so that everything gets removed from the memory and log in as an administrator.
Now open the Explorer and navigate to the users directory so that you can easily move or rename it. So normally it should be under c:\users.
Than open Settings → System → About and click on the right on "Advanced System Settings"
You can also enter under run ( Windows Key + R) the following: systempropertiesadvanced.exe
Here under Advanced look for User Profiles and click on settings.
You should than see a list of the profiles present on the system - also the one which is corrupt.
If not look into the second chapter to delete it from the registry.

Now you can move the profile as backup (or rename it) and then you can click delete in the settings pane.

After the reboot the profile should then get recreated from scrap.

Manual deleting within the registry

Sometimes it happens that the profile is not listed anymore within the settings or someone deleted the wrong files etc.

Here just be sure that you restarted the machine and that the users folders no longer exists (rename it if present or move it).

After that open your registry with regedit.exe and navigate to the following place.

Code

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

For some keys you should find the value "ProfileImagePath" where you can check that you have the correct users (it points to the folder of the user profile).

If you have figured the correct key right click it and export it (as backup like always). Than delete it.
Often the key exists a second time with the same value but .class at the end - This one you should also backup and delete.

After that restart the computer and the profile should than be recreated.

In some cases, maybe 1 of 100, that doesn't work and here only a reinstall of the machine can help.

Tool	Switch
Bcdedit	Operating on a store /createstore - Creates a new empty boot configuration data store. /export - Exports the contents of the system store into a file. This file can be used later to restore the state of the system store. This command is valid only for the system store. /import - Restores the state of the system store by using a backup data file previously generated by using the /export option. This command deletes any existing entries in the system store before the import takes place. This command is valid only for the system store. /store - This option can be used with most BCDedit commands to specify the store to be used. If this option is not specified, then BCDEdit operates on the system store. Running the bcdedit /store command by itself is equivalent to running the bcdedit /enum active command. /sysstore - Sets the system store device. This only affects EFI-based systems. It does not persist across reboots, and is only used in cases where the system store device is ambiguous. Operating on entries in a store /copy - Makes a copy of a specified boot entry in the same system store. /create - Creates a new entry in the boot configuration data store. If a well-known identifier is specified, then the /application, /inherit, and /device options cannot be specified. If an identifier is not specified or not well known, an /application, /inherit, or /device option must be specified. /delete - Deletes an element from a specified entry. /mirror - Creates mirror of entries in the store. Changing entry options /deletevalue - Deletes a specified element from a boot entry. /set - Sets an entry option value. Controlling output /enum - Lists entries in a store. The /enum option is the default value for BCEdit, so running the bcdedit command without options is equivalent to running the bcdedit /enum active command. /v - Verbose mode. Usually, any well-known entry identifiers are represented by their friendly shorthand form. Specifying /v as a command-line option displays all identifiers in full. Running the bcdedit /v command by itself is equivalent to running the bcdedit /enum active /v command. Controlling the boot manager /bootsequence - Specifies a one-time display order to be used for the next boot. This command is similar to the /displayorder option, except that it is used only the next time the computer starts. Afterwards, the computer reverts to the original display order. /default - Allows you to specify which operating system will start when the time-out expires. /displayorder - Specifies the display order that the boot manager uses when displaying boot options to a user. /timeout - Specifies the time to wait, in seconds, before the boot manager selects the default entry. /toolsdisplayorder - Specifies the display order for the boot manager to use when displaying the Tools menu. Emergency Management Services options /bootems - Enables or disables Emergency Management Services (EMS) for the specified entry. /ems - Enables or disables EMS for the specified operating system boot entry. /emssettings - Sets the global EMS settings for the computer. /emssettings does not enable or disable EMS for any particular boot entry. Debugging /bootdebug - Enables or disables the boot debugger for a specified boot entry. Although this command works for any boot entry, it is effective only for boot applications. /dbgsettings - Specifies or displays the global debugger settings for the system. This command does not enable or disable the kernel debugger; use the /debug option for that purpose. To set an individual global debugger setting, use the bcdedit /setdbgsettings type value command. /debug - Enables or disables the kernel debugger for a specified boot entry. /hypervisorsettings - Sets the hypervisor parameters. Remote event logging /eventsettings - Sets the global remote event logging parameters. /event - Enables or disables remote event logging for an operating system entry.

Diskpart
DISM
ICACLS
ICD

Sysprep	/pnp - Forces a mini-setup wizard to start at reboot so that all Plug and Play devices can be recognized /generalize - This allows Sysprep to remove all system-specific data from the Sysprep image. If you're running the GUI version of Sysprep, this is a check-box option
