Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.
Mention it in your homelab posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the homelab posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation.

Final bit of cleanup/building in the ol' homelab for today: got the DB backups running through Databasus (the successor to Postgresus), and moved the mini rack off the same switch as the EMC disk shelf.

I haven't actually seen a total on bandwidth used on my home network through my ISP for quite awhile.
9.073TB is a fair bit. lol.
tbf: that includes three webcams streaming 24/7 and other image transfers happening regularly.
Hooray for free/discounted unlimited bandwidth.

Wooo, I have made many graphs and they look good. Proxmox is now pushing to Influx as well. I still need to get Grafana behind `nginx`, but I can do that later.

Finished up getting Telegraf installed on all the VMs and getting the Influx Debian repo mirrored locally. All of the config/install stuff is in Ansible and the deployment went pretty smoothly. I now officially have all of the data coming into Influx which is nice.

Wrote a new blog post - this one's about setting up git-generator #ArgoCD ApplicationSets.

Finally got the Pihole on 443 behind some nice valid certs. Didn't take too much effort, the longest part was getting the ports set correctly on the Pihole server so it was only listening on localhost. A little `acme.sh` `nginx` later and everything looks good.

Have been experimenting with #signoz in the #homelab as a possible replacement for #grafana #prometheus

Recommendations on a 24port 2.5 and 10Gbs switch for a home network?
I would like to swap out my aged 1Gbs managed switch with an unmanaged variety. (I used VLANs at the start but long ago decided they were more work than they were worth for even a relatively complex/busy home network)
currently trolling ebay.
Oh, also if you have recommendations for places to obtain such a beast with decent shipping to Canada, let me know!

Found this nice tui for kubernetes this weekend - #argocd specific logic - you can use it to alter argo settings and do other things you might otherwise do with the argocd command line tool
Looks pretty neat, especially for #homelab @… #k8s users
