Homelab migration done, all of the VMs are on Debian which makes things easier to manage. Currently deleting the old mirrors out of storage and running a few backups at the moment. I think it's time to maybe play some vidya games and just enjoy the rest of Sunday.

At this point today I'm willing to light anything on fire with the word "Plex" on it. I've never had a server fight me so goddammed hard. It's taken 10x more effort to rebuild the Plex server than it did to build the Jellyfin server. However, that part of the Great Migration is done and I only have two more servers to move over to Debian.

Ran into a weird issue with macOS and iTerm 2 while experimenting with #talos over the weekend.
Short version: I had to quit iTerm, reset the local network security permission for it and restart it before I could run talosctl from my a session in iTerm. Maddeningly it was working from a session in Terminal.app
The long version is at #homelab #iterm2

The #homelab is noodling all our >5000 documents for the initial #paperless import. Kinda stupid that paperless bluntly requeues everything *in addition again* when you restart it (e.g. to fine tune import settings).

Migrated the Docker server over to Debian to match the other VMs. Scary, but not too horrible. Also, moving Docker volumes is a pain in the ass.
#docker #homelab #debian

The EMC disk shelf decided it wanted to ramp the fans to "taking off the flight deck of an aircraft carrier", so I decided to updated all the Proxmox nodes, the NAS, and then power cycle the EMC disk shelf.
Fortunately, that worked and everything is back online. Definitely a pain in the ass though...
#homelab

The server is only a few months old and already has its first 4TB disk full.

Today I learned how to use socat to pipe IPv4 traffic to my #homelab that's accessible only over IPv6 (thanks 1&1 and DS-Lite).
Set the DNS A record to a VPS I already have, spin up a reverse proxy on the VPS via docker, point the right domains to a socat docker container which TCP6's the IPv4 traffic the right way. Don't forget to add an IPv6 network to the socat container. Done.

I'm setting up a talos cluster to tinker with at home and want to use my Synology for persistent volume storage.

I’ve spent the last decade living in happy ignorance as a software developer living in a world of cloud hardware abstractions. Decided it was time to get a little dirty and decided to setup a homelab setup on an old Lenovo desktop I found on Facebook marketplace. #homelab

Since I'm shutting down lanecloud, there's a few tiny things I need to re-home.
Did you know that the ultimate homelab challenge is to not deploy clustered and HA services, when you know how to do it?

Nothing like a quiet Saturday abusing the homelab with video encoding.

Lost a rook ceph node this week, most likely power supply related. Moved the drives to another shell, boot and back in business 😃
Now to work out what has failed and why……

I'm in Australia right now. I can boot my home PC via Wake On LAN to access my files if I have to. I placed a webcam in front of it so that I can verify that it actually does so.
It's weird seeing my computer 16.500 km away from me. It feels like my own little Mars mission. Especially with how SSH feels at 300-400 ms latency.
And yes, that's a drinking glass I forgot on my desk.

Nothing like hanging out with the family for Thanksgiving. My social battery ran out early with 20 people in the house, but all of my homelab work prepared me for this moment: Tailscale and `mpv` while I chill and watch some videos.

My #homelab #grafana instance is named `abyss` for obvious reasons.
Not a criticism of grafana, to be clear.

#selfhosting #homelab #linux #hardware

Jellyfin started "missing" new videos that were being added to the library, so decided it was time for a rebuild. Ended up using the new homelab baseline (Debian 13/`trixie`) and the install was pretty smooth. Used an NFS share for the `cache` and `metadata` directories, and it even scraped all the videos. Still had a ton of mismatches, but nothing too horrible.

Final optimizations for the Dockerfile, and the new image is now under 500MB which is a heluva-lot better than the original 1.3GB. The results are good, images are now in Forgejo, and even better: they work.
#homelab #encoding

So, decided to make the `sisyphus-client` Docker image a multi-stage build because it was a really large image. Ended up taking it from 1.3GB to 708MB which isn't too shabby. Unfortunately, that's about as small as I'm gonna be able to get it with all of the encoding binaries/libraries that I have to install.
Still, pretty solid reduction in container size.
#homelab …

Finished cleaning up the cabling and getting the Beelink properly installed in the minirack. Overall, I miss the Pis because they looked pretty cool, but I'm not gonna complain: this looks pretty good as well.
The doggo wasn't quite as impressed.

FYI all, portainer is giving away 3 node business licenses. #kubernetes support since the last time I visited their site, so I'm interested in checking how well that interacts with #talos.
Some of my #homelab machines currently just run a few containers in #docker_compose stacks for services my #homeassistant server is using like node red and I've been using #portainer for simple things like checking status or restarting things without having to ssh into those workers. Most of those containers are going to get migrated into my #k8s cluster, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works as a quick web interface.
