Posted part two of my homelab k8s cluster series:

This one covers using cert-manager to create certificates for domains hosted on Route 53 and setting up a basic https service using Cilium and also automatically redirecting http to https.

I set up a #talos #k8s cluster with #cilium on #proxmox over the holiday break.

I documented how to set one up on my blog at https://unixorn.github.io/post/homelab/k8s/01-talos-with-cilium-cni-on-proxmox/

This is part one of a series.

Last month I switched from Google Workspace to proton.me for hosting email for my domains.

It went smoothly, but if you're considering it, here's some things I wish I'd known when I was starting to move my old email.

TL;DR Proton is focused on privacy and cheaper than Google Workspace. And you get a VPN too. And they're a non-profit, so you don't have to worry about them selling your data later to prop up their stock price.

@kaaswe @homeassistant

I'm running my VM in proxmox, but I assume that VirtualBox would be just as good.

I didn't mean to sound like I was criticizing your choice to run in docker - I did that for literally years before deciding that not using HAOS was adding more aggravation than it's worth. Some integrations just run better on HAOS or (at least for some 3rd party ones) aren't even tested on anything else.

That said, there are a lot of third party things you can run outside HAOS - I run Node Red, Frigate, zigbee2mqtt, zwaveJS and mosquitto in independent docker containers on other hosts and have HAOS connect to them.

It sounds like you have a lot of interesting hardware in your existing automation system that may or may not have integrations already.

One way to work around that would be to run an MQTT server like mosquitto in a docker container, then update your existing bash scripts write data to MQTT entities so HA can read the entities.

If you format the MQTT entities right, HA will automatically discover them as devices or sensors without you having to create custom MQTT sensors. That auto-discoverability format is a little finicky, but if you're comfortable with python I wrote (with a lot of recent improvement by Steffan Pankratz) a library that makes writing automatically discoverable entities easier.

Ran into a weird issue with macOS and iTerm 2 while experimenting with #talos over the weekend.

Short version: I had to quit iTerm, reset the local network security permission for it and restart it before I could run talosctl from my a session in iTerm. Maddeningly it was working from a session in Terminal.app

The long version is at https://unixorn.github.io/post/homelab/weird-shit-is-afoot-with-macos-and-iterm/
