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.

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.

The new 1.6.3 Docker image for the Sisyphus client.  It is now much smaller than the old one which is from the multi-stage build.

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.

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).

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.

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.

One of the coolest features of this little guy... USB modem support! If I could get a cheap data-only plan (in Canada?! AHAHHAHAHAH) then I could use it as a little failsafe WAN connection! #footiMac #selfhost #homelab #networking

Found an issue with the Borg backup cron job, but got that fixed up and ran backups for today. Fortunately, this one didn't take 20 hours...lol. Backups are now verified but I'll feel better if the cron job works as expected tomorrow.

so much fun to be had with this little beasty! tons of config options.
success!

Ansible playbook done "enough", everything is now matching. Evidently I did forget to transition one server over to Debian, but got that sorted and now everything is running pretty well.

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.

testing out the connection speed. Looks good max for my Telus Fibre connection.
I toyed with the idea of getting one with a 2.5Gb class WAN port as I believe Telus is offering >1Gb connections now... but I resisted. This was only $80 and is far more feature rich than the telus router and should be just as fast if not faster thanks to better internals than the Telus router.

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.

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...

alrighty folks! time to install the new network box!
Will see if I can fully replace the Telus router (white roundish tower thing on the top shelf) with the asus router.
there will definitely be interruptions in internet to this mstdn account, as well as to the alberniweather blog.
It would be nice if it preserves my ip address, and not need a ddns update but I doubt I will be that lucky.
See you on the flip side! I will post updates from @…
