i think i’m gonna give up my cloud server and move the services (mostly mastodon and matrix) to the local #homelab minipc with cloudflare tunnels next week

Also due to earthquake there was 2.5hr fibre internet downtime. My #homelab is configured to fall over to backup 4G connection (B-mobile) which happened seamlessly and then went back to fibre when it became available again. It was around 2AM when I run few backup jobs and these were waiting correctly for fibre to become available. All was captured in telemetry and shown as notifications in #homeassistant

Next #homelab adventure for me: I will be migrating from #forgejo to #radicle for reasons:
- the web interface is useless for someone like me who basically lives in a tmux shell
- running a node / seeder and selective seeding to backup nodes is a dead easy backup compare to Forgejo dumps
- the fact Radicle supports a full terminal only workflow is just sweetBonus points for the web interface style.

redesigned our e-ink dashboard today to make the key temperatures a lot bigger so they can be read from further away

Alright, now that the API for my Smokeweb project is done, I think I will put it aside for a while and concentrate on the Homelab. Because the tasks and ideas have been piling up quite significantly.
And, at least to start with, not the big projects, but all of the small tasks, like securing my k8s Pods properly and such things.
So without further ado, I'm announcing Homelab Herbst. I'm sorry to my dear non-German readers, but I couldn't resist the alliteration. 😅

I've been slowly going through all the settings in my mikrotik router and adding them to opentofu in my home-ops repo. All I had were a couple of backup scripts before, so this is a nice step up. Its also helped me find some security gaps I need to close.

Looking for suggestions on a good home gateway to replace my ISPs dumb stuff with. Currently looking at TP Link’s Omada range after they got discussed a bit on Heavy Networking.
I’m looking for something that’s fairly compact (no rack), Wifi integrated, no multigigabit, built-in Wireguard would be nice. Not looking build one myself right now.
Unifi is an option but I don’t like how cloud dependent their stuff has become. -
@pedersen If you can get yourself a small external SSD, your installs will go MUCH faster. Flash drives are SLOW.
I have a 1TB external SSD with 2 partitions: 1 for Ventoy and 1 for backups. I put my OS ISOs into the Ventoy partition, along with the Rescuezilla ISO. This way I can quickly back up any computer to the same SSD I'm installing Linux from. Makes distro-hopping and backups a breeze.

One more missing from this pile of 12bay units and expansions (migration from that one is still pending).
12 years! Thank you for your service!

Who wouldn't want their own personal pen tester running around at night verifying that the home network is correctly configured and that there's no suspicious activity taking place?
Yeah. LLMs again. Just as LLMs are great throwing logs at with the question "does this look ok?" they're also quite useful for automated surveillance tasks. I've spent a few hours setting this up for my (admittedly larger than a common household's) local network environment.
The only actual caveat is to make sure that the LLM itself is locked down so that you're not creating a component with God level access that's in itself a risk.
Example: There's a pfSense MCP that only has read tools to the firewall API. Great! But the API key it needs has write access to the exposed pfREST API so that API key needs careful handling.
-"But Troed, surely someone has already made this product?"
I'm sure. But the thing about LLMs is that it might be easier to write custom code for _your unique_ use case rather than try to configure someone else's code to fit yours. This is a key evolution as we go from "coding takes effort" to "coding is effortless".
-"So will you open source that agent you're making?"
Read the previous answer again ;)

Stalwart gave self-hosters a real mail server in one binary — then left us bolting IMAP-era webmail on top.
So I wrote the one I wanted. ihasmail is a JMAP-first webmail for Stalwart: one protocol for mail, calendar, contacts, filters and files. No IMAP, no SMTP, no database of its own — the client stores nothing.
GPLv3, runs in a container, ships with a mock server so you can click around without touching real mail.

```
$ cd /srv/nextcloud/
$ sed -i s/:33/:34/ compose.yaml # [0]
$ docker compose up
```Well, that was an easy upgrade, as always.
[0] I made this up, in reality I use SaltStack to manage this https://blog.narf.ssji.net/2023/12/28/saltstack-maps-as-objects/, but the resulting change in the compose.yaml is the same.

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.

NetBird v0.77.1 brings SSH support on Android, smarter Windows DNS and route handling, and fixes session auth issues on Linux. Lots of quality-of-life improvements across the board. #selfhosted #homelab

I got to try out something new tonight.
After building my new PC, and switching to it as my daily driver, the old one is looking for a purpose. I'm going to turn it into a server. That means getting another USB stick ready with another downloaded ISO.
And then I remembered https://www.ventoy.net/ is a thing I've heard about recently. If you don't know of it, it's a bootable USB stick that lets you store a bunch of ISO images, and then choose which one to boot. I had a 64g USB drive laying around, so I put the Ubuntu server and desktop ISO images on it, and was able to successfully boot each one on the old PC.
I'm not reformating yet. Got some other stuff to clean up first. But this works. And I can use it elsewhere. Definitely keeping this in my toolbox.

Spent tonight moving everything off my MikroTik access point and onto a new rack mount 10G router, also from MikroTik. It took a while, but now everything is defined as code in Terraform, and seems to be routing much faster than before.
I still need to move my second Proxmox node over, but I’m looking forward to those getting 2.5 Gbit speeds. This upgrade has been a long time coming.

After only SIX HOURS of printing, we have the first half.
...they definitely need to invent something to make faster printers...
Anyway, first test fit seems ok, it may be a millimeter or two too large, I may slightly change the other half's design, just to be sure.

I am installing Pangolin as replacement to Cloudflare tunnels. I'm having some trouble configuring Traefik middlewares, and decided to ask advise from new Qwen3.8. It answered pretty quickly, did some net searches, and gave helpful answer. What's amazing is that it runs locally in an AMD Strix Halo mini-pc. I don't need any AI sub because the Ai is just another service in a mini-pc I am using anyway.
I got forward with Pangolin, and gave now e.g. Crowdsec completely integrated via Traefik plugin.
Now I'm stuck with Traefik Middleware Manager. It should allow me to pick a service (a web server) and hook in required Middleware. But it has hardly any documentation. I have installed a set of plugins, but I'm puzzled how to add and configure them into middlewares for a service. I guess I need to read the truth from sources😅.

Esta es la casita que albergará mi nuevo home server en proceso de construcción. Es un Jonsbo N6. Soporta placas micro-ATX y tiene bahías hot-swappable para 9 discos de 3.5 o 2.5''.

Starting my #docker migration process onto new #synology gear. While still waiting for some parts, I have succesfully migrated #matomo and its #mysql DB from one host to another.
Will do it once again, onto new gear as well but more as a docker stack migration as a whole. This time it was an actual mysql db migration from one host and DB version to another.
Zero issues for all sites. Really like that platform!

Na razie pełni u mnie jedną rolę, ale powinny dojść kolejne. Jest to kolejne #Zabbix Proxy w mojej Zabbix Proxy Group. Co w przypadku faila innego komputera na którym hostuje Proxy (3xVM z #fedoracoreos) nadal będę miał dostępny monitoring.
Znając jednak ograniczenia dyskowe i RAM odrzuciłem kontenery i VM na rzecz natywnych pakietów -- tutaj mam najnowszego Debiana 13.#zabbixproxy #wyse3040 #dell #monitoring #homelab #zabbixproxygroup #coreos #debian13
