I recently changed to a fritz box router and pinole has decided not to work anymore...
Anyone got any ideas? I can access the web interface but DND doesn't work from at least some of my devices...
I'll probs be changing my pis which host all my services to use k3s soon so will probs reinstall OS then, in case that makes any difference.
The new router did change my gateway btw, I think all the devices use the correct one now though.
Getting closer to installing actual usable services on the #K3s cluster. So far, I've got:
- Node Feature Discovery
- cert-manager
- Intel Device Plugins
- Specifically for GPU HW acceleration in Jellyfin, Immich, etc.
- Descheduler
- Longhorn
Next up is Authentik and then off to the races.
Just finished testing that Wifi is working in the house after I moved the coaxial Internet connection to the basement. Now for the real fun part. Running Ethernet so that the TV's and Xbox are on an Ethernet connection and my office is connected to my server rack. I'm not sure if I'll have an easier time going through this drop ceiling or from the attic and down the walls for my connections.#Homelab
I'm also just generally wondering what it is with Raspberry Pis and active cooling over the last two generations. For both the 4 and 5 models, the Pi foundation was saying "definitely do active cooling", and I think for both, the official case had an active cooler.
But I've been running both without active cooling without any issue at all. Sure, it takes a nice chunk of metal to achieve this, but it's not like it's a grotesque amount. The cooler doesn't even change the footprint.
After confirming that the NVMe performs exceptionally well, next I had to have a look at cooling. I started out a bit worried, because I was seeing about 50 C at complete idle.
I've now run "stress -c 4 -t 600", confirmed that the 4 CPUs stayed at their max 2.4 GHz the entire time. At the end of the run, the temp was at 78 C, which I find very acceptable. If any of these machines actually has to run at all-core full tilt for 10 minutes, something else is wrong anyway.
Second attempt to play with #kubernetes with 6 nodes #k3s running as VMs on my #proxmox. 3 masters with #kubevip and 3 workers with #longhorn (Kubernetes cluster storage)
So far, so good, but I haven't deployed any services yet. Thanks to Proxmox snapshots, which allow for easy reversion after mistakes
On my todo list: Backup on my Synology, Nginx,…
My plan is to test the migration of my services to k3s in this virtual environment. After that, I will gradually move to dedicated nodes

Helm charts are great for managing applications but a massive pain to prep for initial deployment, am I doing this wrong?
With a new chart, I spend time reading through chart values and reading over the templates to see if certain features are supported by the chart or not. Reading go templates isn't exactly how I enjoy spending my time
When you create a chart, the default template supports a lot of standard features (overriding labels, setting TLS details for the ingress, securityContext, etc) which is fantastic... When I find a ready made chart on GitHub, I find that people have renamed some of these or stripped them out. I'm using NFS storage which means I think about process UID/GID a lot and typically create PVCs manually to be mounted in specific places which sometimes works great and sometimes not so much
I feel like I missed the boat with k8s-at-home which had an incredible collection of ready-made charts but it's a shame it's gone dark since
Still searching for a nice web based task management solution. I don't need anything too advanced but would love to be able to subscribe to a calendar or at least have reminders.
Focalboard looked nice (and simple) but is semi-abandoned and lacks a few features. I'll look at Vikunja next.

If you are using Cloudflared / Cloudflare Tunnels to expose some of your #homelab services today - have a look at Pangolin. I’m blown away by the ease of use and the fact that it is yours - not a ginormous entity with all keys to your kingdom.
New blog post is up: how & why I'm deciding to self-host all of my own cloud services

The little display I bought for my Pi work already paid off. I had forgotten to put my SSH key on my new USB stick I use for the initial boot, and now I could just attach a keyboard and the screen and quickly fetch the key.
I forgot to update this but I had been running it as an LXC listening on two internal OVS bridge ports for a while until I was playing around with OPNsense and realized they had a maltrail plugin. Now I'm monitoring traffic on the OPNsense WAN (not my public ISP WAN but a separate internal network) and the OPNsense LAN.
