    Look man, this is just exhausting. I’m well aware of that security policy. I have enabled it at some of my clients. But it’s not a default setting and would never be on a random non-enterprise PC. This is what I mean when I say the only people who are getting locked out this way were screwing with their computers in ways they don’t understand, installing random garbage and following bad advice on the internet.

    From your link:

    If you set the value to 0, or leave blank, the computer or device will never be locked as a result of this policy setting.

    Agreed. The immature iamsosmart user base is making me strongly consider leaving Lemmy for good. There just aren’t enough actual professionals here for any serious discussion in a technical community. It’s just a bunch of 20-year-olds who think they have the world figured out. And they all downvote based on emotion rather than facts (which I am quite prepared for).

    Microsoft accounts, OneDrive, and BitLocker are absolutely great features for the average user providing SSO, cloud storage with ransomware-proof backups, and seamless full-disk encryption.

    I love Linux too, but there seems to be no room for nuance on Lemmy. These children are insufferable.

    Did you have to install an app called Company Portal or Intune? If no, then they probably don’t have access to your device, except for possibly being able to selectively wipe school data. They could also be using another MDM solution like Airwatch, but again, you would have had to have installed something (and unlikely, since universities get massive discounts on Microsoft licensing).

    Even if you do have Company Portal, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s managed as it’s still used to broker communication and authentication between Office apps on Android. The app itself would be able to tell you if the device is managed.

    And as the other poster mentioned, if they had you install a root certificate for the university they can intercept and inspect HTTPS traffic from your device while on their network. But that still doesn’t give them access to the data-at-rest on your device.

    No worries for the question. It’s not terribly intuitive.

    The configs live on the Traefik server. In my static traefik.yml config I have the following providers section, which adds the file provider in addition to the docker provider which you likely already have:

    providers:
  docker:
    endpoint: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
    exposedByDefault: false
  file:
    directory: /config
    watch: true

    And in the /config folder mapped into the Traefik container I have several files for services external to docker. You can combine them or keep them separate since the watch: true setting tells it to read in all files (and it’s near instant when you create them, no need to restart Traefik).

    Here is my homeassistant.yml in that folder (I have a separate VM running HASS outside of Docker/Traefik):

    http:
  routers:
    homeassistant-rtr:
      entryPoints:
      - https
      service: homeassistant-svc
      rule: "Host(`home.example.com`)"
      tls:
        certResolver: examplecom-dns

  services:
    homeassistant-svc:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://hass1.internal.local:8123"

    Hope this helps!
