Got a phone interview in a few minutes, but before that: time to make sure backups are still running like their supposed to. Still loving Databasus though I really need to get email notifications setup eventually.

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.

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.
#homelab #nas

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.

Sigh.
The downside to #digital #sovereignty and #selfhosting all your own data/services in a #homelab is you're really bo…

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.
#homelab #dns

Bad: Managed to lock myself out of root access on my home server.
Good: The command that did it was "usermod -G docker" (the -a is indeed load-bearing for this use case), so I could privilege-escalate my way straight back to root.
Normal #homelab things.

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

I was hoping to get a new macmini to replace #newOldiMac before the summer but there are no refurbished ones in the Canadian Apple Store right now and the wait time on a new one is 12 weeks!
So no point doing that… plus the prices on RAM and SSD upgrades are crazy rn. Maybe the bubble will pop by then and we’ll have a flood of ex-AI gear on the market…
So instead I will focus my homelap on improving our home network situation, getting a couple 10gBT switches and capable router, and running a couple important cables around the house.
Then maybe I will see if I can make some space in our basement wiring closet for another shelf to hold a few old MacBook laptops that I have gathered over the years and see if I can turn them into a ProxMox cluster.
