Friday night - party time
I am setting up my #homeLab and #jellyfin
What about you?
#homelab
(due to a snafu, this is a re-post)
New blog post! After reading @mmeier's blog post about monitoring his Kubernetes cluster certificates, I decided to take a look at how this is done with Talos, and learned a lot from it. You can read my solution in my blog post, as well as Michael's (which I link in my post, and also below in this thread.

(To the anti-AI people: please feel free to ignore/skip this post.)
New blog post! A few people have asked me how I run AI/LLM tools (ollama and llama.cpp) in my Talos Kubernetes cluster, so I decided to give it a proper explanation. This is quite a long and complex post, but I hope it's useful for someone.

And I really appreciate Loki here: I searched through the last 30 days worth of ALL Ceph logs, because the Ceph warning doesn't show when it originally happened. And Loki handled that without any problem at all. Sure, it took a little bit, but it's also running on a Pi CM4. Topped out at 400 MB memory usage, which I'd find pretty acceptable.
My elaborate log gathering setup pays off again. Got a spurious read errors for one of my Ceph OSDs. Was able to search through the past 30 days worth of Ceph logs from the comfort of my Grafana dashboard.
It seems to have been a link reset on one of my SATA SSDs after a few failed reads. Afterwards, everything is fine again. But I'm still a bit worried about that SSD. Time to look at the SMART values I guess.
Been fighting linstor a bit here and it just seems complex for #incus and the #homelab. I get the appeal, but I think i'm ganna leave this one behind and just go back to zfs and move things around. or Try the truenas backend
This thing has to have all these things working or it gets pissed.
Incus: Orchestrates the containers.
Linstor: Orchestrates the storage volumes.
DRBD: The actual kernel-level driver replicating bits over the network.
ZFS/LVM: The physical storage layer on the disk.
Hearing a lot of hard drive activity on my #Yunohost box, need to see what's going on in there...
I have a small golang app that listens to #zfs zpool events and sends a notification to ntfy.sh or your self-hosted instance of it when there’s state changes with errors. I wonder if more people would be interested in using it. I currently have it running in both #freebsd and #linux servers. #homelab
LOL well this morning I discovered that the reason *some* apps were working while others—mysteriously, the ones that mapped the venerable 1080 Ti—were not:
In a fit of amnesia, my Unraid box upgraded its NVIDIA driver to the latest, 590.x. Evidently, the 580 driver series was the last to include support for the Pascal architecture (ie, the 1080 Ti). Only after downgrading did everything suddenly start working again.
Another blog, another day. And let's talk about music. So have fun with this reading.

Linkwarden hat jetzt Android/iPhone-Apps erhalten - sieht schick aus
New release of dockcheck.sh - v0.7.5 !
This version brings the new option `-b N` - Enable image backups and sets number of days to keep from pruning.
Which allows for easy rollback if a new image breaks. The images will be auto removed after *N* days of age in future runs of dockcheck.

After it was deemed not to be good enough for Windows 11 by Microsoft, I salvaged my dad's old computer (2nd gen Intel Core i3) and turned it into a Linux server.
I am considering using it as a lab for my pet projects and experiments, replacing a ~4 EUR/month Hetzner server (cx22) in exchange for a comparable CPU power and similar cost in electricity bill and plenty more RAM and storage.
Was able to SSH in and discovered that one of the ripping processes had gone rogue and consumed all 32GB of RAM. Had to hard reboot; the crash was so bad, in fact, that on restart the server had forgotten its host name, reverting to the Unraid default of “tower”.
I’m still restoring things. I don’t really understand why this seems to have given my box a case of short-term memory loss, but gotta say: on top of everything else this week, this was absolutely not needed. #unraid #homelab
Bon, le HomeLab est installé et dans la bagarre j'ai perdu la capture de caméra extérieure, sinon tout le reste fonctionne.

Edit : j'ai retrouvé la caméra extérieure 😀
Có ai khác cũng đột nhiên có động lực cải thiện thiết lập của mình... vào các thời điểm tệ nhất không? Cảm giác nằm trên giường hoặc giữa công việc mà bỗng muốn reorg homelab ngay lập tức. #Selfhosted #Homelab #CảiThiếtLập #ĐộngLực
