Quite happy after playing with @… in my #homelab today. Auth against #authentik works including automatic account provisioning, Web UI as well as Android…

Heme aquí en las últimas etapas antes de la puesta en servicio de mi nuevo home server.

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.

Les presento lo que serš la base de mi nuevo homeserver / homelab en proceso de construcción. Una vieja placa madre Asrock Fatal1ty X99M Killer y el cerebro un procesador Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4. Estoy armando algo bien potente que soporte todas mis ideas. 🙌🏻🤓

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab and #SelfHosting
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.
Mention it in your homelab or self hosting 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.
#homelab #nas

Kleine Homelab-Optimierung 🌱
DB-Backups von gzip auf zstd --rsyncable umgestellt:
📦 vorher: ~919 MB
📦 nachher: ~529 MB
➡️ 42,5 % weniger Daten
Laufzeit praktisch gleich: 7:43 vs. 7:48 min.
Weniger speichern und übertragen bei gleicher Laufzeit – kleine Effizienzgewinne summieren sich.

¿Tienen algún dato de alguien que haga impresiones 3D a precios razonables en Santiago de Chile?
Quiero imprimir algunas cositas para mi proyecto de homelab.
Gracias. 🙌🏻

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.
#homelab #monitoring #influx

Phew, finally done migrating the #homelab to the new ISP's router. I managed to have an overlap period with the old router still around and could link up the two subnets with a static route and "Additional subnet" functionality on the new Zyxel which made the migration much less painful than it could have been.

Soluciones de maestro chasquilla: como mi nueva placa no tiene tarjeta gršfica integrada, reciclé una vieja MSI Geforce 210, pero el ventilador original es muy ruidoso para un servidor en casa, lo.cambié por uno noctua de 60 mm. Que es practicamente inaudible. También cambié el disipador. 🤓

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.
#homelab #database

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.

My second ticket back to root would have been a user-writable shell script that is executed as root once per night for a housekeeping task, but I did not want to wait a night to get back in. And yes, I know that this is bad security - considering I work in IT Security, it's once again a case of "the cobblers kids are barefoot" - but sometimes some unintended break-glass access can be quite helpful. #homelab

#git helper scripts and other git-related resources I've accumulated over the years.
You don't need a ZSH framework to use it - the framework code just adds the repo's bin directory to your PATH automatically.
