in the last 6 months lost two grandparents urgh

That's growing up, i started out with 3, all gone before I was 25

yeah; doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though

It doesn't, I've lost so many people over the years I've been desensitized

one from falling and hitting her head; the other due to the virus... becoming really complicated

Mine were cancer, blood clot, dementia, heart attack

My hometown is also famous for suicides, because who would have thought 2 months of perpetual darkness and 2 months of 24h sunlight would be a great mix with tall bridges

Hey folks! Just wanted to say hi! My name is Andy, I’m a British chap living in Amsterdam. I’m just wrapping up a huge renno project on our new house which includes a complete eco-overhaul (Heatpump, solar, underfloor heating, triple glazed glass etc). Once we’re and done with basic decorating we’ll get moving with smart home stuff (we have the whole house networked and are already using Hue bulbs extensively around the house).

#

I’m already playing with home assistant and slimlezzer in our temporary rental but haven’t dug into automations much yet.

#

I’ll mostly be lurking for now but you can bet I’ll have a thousand questions once we’re in the new house later this year!

#

@clear ferry I will try to clean up and delete some old crap first :p I found that having 30TB of old tv shows I never will watch again is not a point

#

I will admit I am not a network expert, but my point was to setup one main lan input 192.x, and keep the cluster machines on the vlan 5. Since ubuntu changed how the network is setup, is it a better way to set routes, than needing to put table: 76 (76 is from the documentation), or is putting table the correct thing to do?

glacial knot
#

Why would you need that on anything but the default table? o.0

ubuntu wont let me if I apply without the table on the vlan

I tried the rasberry pi os, but that doesnt support 64 bit in userspace

glacial knot

it should

if you pick the right one

#

I did have some enormous pain with 64bit raspi at work though

late gate
#

yeah, it does have some growing pains I think. It seems like most who setup clusters og k8s on pi drop raspberry pi OS and go for ubuntu though, thats why I tried it.

#

I was recommended to setup GlusterFS for a docker swarm. Any of you tried out that file system? It seems like its a distributed file system between the nodes

finite atlas
#

sell your pi and get a proper computer instead

late gate

I got a lot of pis, and a bit of the point is to learn. If not why would I setup a "prosumer" setup at home? Its like @clear ferry overkill rig, dont need it :p

Neither docker swarm nor k8s is prosumer

I just started down a similar path myself, I found an i7 based chromebox on ebay for ~$70 which would be about what I'd pay for a raspberry if I could get one. But there would be some work to do getting a new firmware loaded onto it to subsequently load either HaOS or some other docker.

btw do you know about a cheap switch that can handle at least 2,5gbit on the ports, but have higher "backbone" so I can share filesystem between the clusters with higher than 1gbit speed?

You don't need to stick with Ubiquiti unless you want their features but do avoid Netgear

What is your honest experience with Nginx Proxy Manager vs Traefik?

clever mortar
#

Traefik agooglethumbsup

#

I switched from NGINX to Traefik and haven't looked back. Trivial to set up, even for services outside of the Docker stack, and handles SSL certs seamlessly.

#

I use Cloudflare for my DNS and it handles the DNS-01 validation

late gate
#

I was leaning towards that yeah. I tried reddit, but its like mac vs linux vs windows-discussion

clever mortar
#

I mean, NGINX works, and apparently performs better if you're pushing massive amounts of traffic

#

However, Treafik is fine for normal folks, and frankly that I can expose a new service just by labelling a container is awesome

late gate
#

yeah that sounds like the best idea!

glacial knot
#

I did that with docker-geb re-writing my nginx config before

#

Which was slightly weird. But worked

honest fox
#

How do I add my user (ubuntu system) to be able to write to /opt directly without having to sudo: In windows I'd simply add the user to the folder permissions, but I don't know how that works with User-Group-Everyone system.. Right now /opt is root:root, and altering the everyone section of the permissions seems overkill.. I also don't know what the consequences would be if I changed the other of /opt to myUser:myUser (755)

clever mortar
#

Well, you could change the group to myUser and give the group write permissions

#

Or you could delve into ACLs

honest fox
#

Oh duh.. lists of course

clever mortar
#

Access Control Lists

#

man setfacl

#

(if installed)

honest fox
#

intersting, I didn't know linux had that.. that would be close to windows permission system, right?

clever mortar
#

Groups are probably enough

#

Yeah

#

ACLs can get as complex as Windows permissions

honest fox
#

I'm trying to duplicate "Home Automation Guy"'s setup.. He puts everything in /opt.. I kinda like it.. seems more clean than the messy way I did it 🙂

clever mortar
#

Everything... interesting

honest fox
#

well.. maybe not his coffee 🙂

clever mortar
#

Add-on application software packages

#

That's what Docker was created to solve 😛

honest fox
#

I like using docker compose files and putting the volumes close to it.. is that wrong?

clever mortar
#

Not really, just using /opt is odd

#

I use /docker

#

(well, /data/docker on some hosts)

honest fox
#

That would solve the hole problem, of course

#

*whole

clever mortar
#

Then I've got a folder that's clearly intended to be managed by docker...

#

Also, if I back it up I'm only backing up configuration, not software

#

If you use /opt then other software may be installed there

honest fox
#

Thanks for that!

#

I sometimes have trouble organizing stuff

clever mortar
#

From a previous life I got into the habit of putting all data under /data

#

So I'll have /data/docker, and /data/home for all the home folders, etc

honest fox
#

I somehow got the idea that you shouldn't mess with the / folder 🙂

clever mortar
#

Well, not that itself, but you can create folders under it

#

I can back up one tree (/data) and get all the "user data" on the system

#

My home server keeps /data/ on separate disks to the OS, so if I need to rebuild the OS I can remove the disks and avoid any risk of accidentally writing to the wrong drives

honest fox
#

That sounds great!

it all depends on the project though, I just installed a rpi2 to make timelapses 24/7 and using the integrated h264 encoder makes it do that job very good, where as a nuc will likely eat double the power AND cost double (of the original pi price)

Would plugging an egpu to the cluster be strong enough to transcode if ever? Like a 1080ti. Got a spare

plex constantly crashes. Jellyfin runs fine. Easy choice

eGPU is usually limited by the bus speed. So you'd have to check what that is

there are several threads on the web about people seeing it and one earlier this year that the devs had found the issue and were planning to fix it

I will say I wish it was slightly easier to fully back up plex.. granted it's saving one folder and all it's subfolder but it just seems.. not right lol

I used the non docker version and trying to go back is a mess. Dunno what it even did, copy was a nogo

shouldn't matter what version you use. the plex folder resides outside the docker regardless

Anybody come up with a decent way to backup an install of proxmox? I'm referring to the actual proxmox ve installation. Not the VMs/LXCs.

#

I have the VMs/LXCs set on a schedule within proxmox. They are going to an external USB drive.

#

I'd like to do the same for the actual proxmox ve install on bare metal.

#

I could go traditional routes but I'm looking for something with little hassle like managing backups in proxmox for VMs/LXCs.

glacial knot
#

make infrastructure code. Backup the code, not the infra

clear ferry
#

I'd just suggest Debian + kvm + docker and rsnapshot / zfs send receive via rclone

dusky plank
#

proxmox uses nodes, which would satisfy your needs out of the box if you expand your infra

#

this way you'd just flash proxmox if something fails and the node gets provisioned again

hidden finch
#

I'm just trying to avoid reinstalling proxmox ve if I have hardware failures.

im lazy and dont want to reconfigure everything again

outside of maybe reloading VMs/LXCs

for instance, i dont want to figure out how to setup email alerts again =]

hidden finch

im on day 3 of using it

so i've got a bit to learn

I'm suggesting to not have to worry about that. By making the config from an external script against an API
Not really reasonable for one-off first time setups.

so backup the config

dont bother with backing it all up

can you visualize an image of your parents inside your mind ?

i.e, do you have photographic memory ?

also, do you have internal monologue ?

I don't have issues with 3D and space manipulations though
but I do that entirely on a sort of wireframe construct of the world. Nothing even close to an image

#

yea, I'm not one of those weirdos without monologue
Mine also switches through languages depending on what I do

clear ferry
#

one of the founders of pixar also has aphantasia, so you can definitivly have imagination without mental images, I'm just very intrigued by the prospect of not being able to visualize something internally

#

it is very handy when I work on 18U servers, and I know I'm replacing part X, so I visualize the server and I take it apart inside my mind like ... I don't know the english word, but the german word is probably similar to the norwegian word "sprengskisse" -> "blown apart image" to find the part I want to replace

glacial knot

it's not entirely nothing. But maybe a children's drawing level of a tree. No matter which tree

also, 18U server? o.0 I assume that's not a single drawer, but disk shelves and other components connected via some backplate? o.0

clear ferry

it's a single server, with multiple parts

yea, but you can remove individual drawers and stuff

#

not like 4U servers that are 4U because they cram some stupidly large parts in

#

like our 4Us with consumer GPUs 😂

clear ferry
#

It is physically and electrically one server

#

that you add trays of CPUs and memory to

#

up to 4 trays of them

#

4 CPUs per cell board

#

and 16 DIMMS per cell board

glacial knot
#

just slightly more integrated blade shelves^^

clear ferry
#

Not really

#

since this is one system

#

bladesystems are individual servers

#

we were planning to do the same thing with Synergy, there is a photonics connector on the backplane, so you could pool CPU and memory into larger systems via high speed optical connections

#

but it was never put into production

glacial knot
#

yea, I do understand the difference

clear ferry
#

It will probably come on HPC systems.... in 2025 ?

glacial knot
#

but that's what you use k8s for 😛

#

NUMA sucks either way

clear ferry
#

the difference is

RX8640 == 4-16 CPUs depending on how many cells you have that have one OS
Bladesystem = 16 individual 2 socket servers that have 16 OS installs

glacial knot
#

vertical scaling sucks either way 😕

clear ferry
#

The first gen was the HP V-Class server, then came the RX\RP74\6-84\6 cell based servers(2-4 cells), then came the Superdome (up to 16 cells and 192PCIe cards) then came Superdome2, 16 blades electrically connected, and now we have the Superdome Flex, that has up to 16 chassis with 4 sockets each connected (64 sockets, 64TB RAM, 64 GPUs, etc etc)

#

The vertical scaling makes sense for application that can use it

#

like the Old cell based stuff was mostly for DBs where more cores \ memory was interesting, wheras the newer Superdome Flex makes a lot of sense to hypervisor hosts or in memory databases

glacial knot
#

which is pretty much every application up to some point

#

and it's way easier to build applications that scale well vertically

#

and has less inherent losses than horizontal

clear ferry
#

Yes, people who don't understand IT just go "yeah, just add five nodes to the cluster"

#

yeah, that isn't how it works

glacial knot
#

oh, I understand IT. I still say it, but usually to annoy people 😂

clear ferry
#

Or like on another discord I frequent, this guy came in, said he bought 3 DL380s because he wants to run his minecraft server in a cluster across all of them

#

"they have 64GB RAM each"

glacial knot
#

There's also quite some situations where it's not easy to split things because theiy are under someone else's controll

#

I wish I could split HA over the various servers. And get HA on top with that. But ehhh 😂

clear ferry
#

race conditions ? never heard of, that is just made up by the government to take our money

#

lockstep ? what is that ? some kind of ploy to take our cars away ?

glacial knot
#

well, race conditions start happening the moment you have any concurrency. Doesn't even necessarily need parallelism. that just adds new ones into the mix

clear ferry
#

but probably the RX8640 is my favorite server of all time, there is only like 3 left in production in norway, but there are a lot of them in germany and eastern europe

#

And I'm probably the only one under the age of 60 that know them

glacial knot
#

I'm sure there's some poor intern in some shop that's out of official support that has to deal with them 😂

Are you talking about the Mains style terminals for PCBs, or more crimped cable end clamps?

This is the one, previous gen

RP2430

#

#

the power supply slides in there

#

and clamps over the board

#

clear ferry
#

glacial knot
#

clear ferry

cna I get you stuck in a loop?

clear ferry
#

yes

glacial knot
#

will you send me those better zigbee coordinators you promised?

clear ferry
#

yes

#

I already sent a package to the german speaking commonwealth

#

@hearty depot got a NIC 😄

#

meeting with company that wants to offer me job on monday, meeting with my boss on wednesday, curious if she will have a mental break when I tell her

hearty depot
#

wtf?

#

leaving, after all this years and all the nopes to the other jobs?

clear ferry
#

not leaving yet, just actually gonna hear what they want to offer me

#

since they have been hounding me to come in

hearty depot
#

They will not be happy with your rate xD

clear ferry
#

I actually expect them to offer me more than I have today, since they give out €1000 in bonus per certification you take while working for them

#

consultancy is big now

hearty depot
#

Where close to jumping ships too.
New IT-Jobs keep up with inflation. Employer not so much.

clear ferry
#

too bad I took 18 certifications the last 12 months

Wondering when the universe sends you a achievement plate for this

#

I only worked 50% last year since I was home with a baby

Third bussines trip in two months. I’m starting to hate airports. Don’t know how quadflight does it…

#

About a week each too. When am I supposed to work?

clever mortar
#

In the evening after you get to the hotel, clearly

glacial knot
#

was supposed to travel next week

#

but then I spent half this week evacuation my stomach content both ways. So I decided to cancel that plan

clever mortar
#

What, you didn't fancy passing it on to others? Share the love pain and all that

glacial knot
#

I'm probably fine by Sunday, when I was supposed to fly
But I don't want to bet company money on that
And neither do I want to take a bet on whether I'll be able to hold any contents during liftoff 😂

#

I prefer daytripping to norwegian customers, and single night trips to scandinavia

glacial knot
#

oh yes, I feel fine in normal 1G, let's put pressure on that belly with no way to move for minute. That's clearly a good idea

I’m in Edinburgh airport right now, btw Tinkerer.

Can recommend the Carlton George in Glasgow. They have a complimentary minibar.

Is it any suggestions for an good DNS service I can self host that hopefully got a GUI? After running multi vlan I would like to control the DNS locally a bit better. Not going to be used for external DNS though

clear ferry
#

Well opnsense + unbound @late gate

late gate
#

not planning to install a new router though

glacial knot
#

does vscode count for gui? 😂

late gate
#

haha

#

Only thing I found is PowerDNS, but never used that

#

@clear ferry Is logically possible to just turn off all router stuff on unifi, setup an opensense vm and let that route and firewall the network?

clear ferry
#

maybe ? wouldn't

glacial knot
#

probably not

#

well, might be technically possible, but you'll see the limit in throughput

late gate
#

maybe just get a machine for it

#

what is the con and pro opensens vs pfsense?

#

@limber mist pihole is not the best in multi-vlan

limber mist
#

Is working for me just fine.

glacial knot
#

remembers a time when a pie hole was the mouth

limber mist
#

By default pihole limits itself to 1 hop, but you can configure it to work for any network.

#

Even works with my Fortinet VPN

glacial knot
#

Fortinet 😂 I remember those

limber mist
#

Hehehe

late gate
#

So its a no

#

I like unifi, but seriously no nat forwarding, dns control or any basic features. They have on the edge series, but still call this pro

limber mist
#

When you said "DNS", you meant firewall?

late gate
#

nat for the firewall, dns for dns

limber mist
#

Hmm,

late gate
#

For example I want to force every rouge dns server that chat to google to be forced through my own dns server. unifi cant do that from the ui

glacial knot
#

We use the UDM Pro at work, and they are ok

#

apparently they are somewhat broken with their online detection and refuse to allow access to the upstream network if they don't reach the internet though o.0

#

does it not allow to set DNAT rules? o.0

late gate
#

no

#

not at all

#

im shocked. its kinda basic

#

you can ONLY set drop and allow rules on point to point

#

yes you can do it with iptables, but thats not persistant without 3rd party, and might not survive updates

#

I kinda want to keep the unifi equipment though, but would like to switch the firewall for sure

umbral cliff
#

Yeah it's what I have. Unifi AP + opnsense firewall

glacial knot
#

still unsure what I want for an AP

#

potentially zyxel though

late gate
#

how do you control the AP then?

limber mist
#

I upgraded to a Unifi AP6 Long Range lat year,

late gate
#

I have some of them ehre

#

here

limber mist
#

They're nice. Probably the most stable AP I have used x3

#

For work I was testing Fortinet APs... They're okay, but they had issues x3

umbral cliff
late gate
#

ah yeah

#

So maybe I should get an opensense box, remove the UDM-Pro, manage the switches and AP with the controller software and be happy?

yuck unifi
