haha yea man...gigabit is awesome

rapid musk
#

Well Iโ€™m off to shop for a server on fleabay. Wish me luck! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

odd mason
#

haha good luck

#

check out labgopher too

#

makes searching ebay easier for server

ocean mirage
#

Yeah my mum uses an Apple TV, same as me, she does alright

#

Only problem is my upload is only about 30mbps so I can't really have many users

#

but netflix + plex for us too, although I could drop netflix and store everything on my server its good to just pick random things on

rapid musk
#

What CPUโ€™s does your dell have @odd mason ?

odd mason
#

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz

#

32 cores

rapid musk
#

Nice. Thanks!

odd mason
#

dual

#

np

#

one mistake i made was i didn't know about v2 v3 versions

#

if you can find v2 or v3 versions get those

#

apparently they're better on power and such

rapid musk
#

Right on. Appreciate that

odd mason
#

np

ocean mirage
#

slightly better, but v3 requires DDR4 I believe so thats a cost

#

I'm on that E5-2670. Considered the v2 but they are that much more expensive that I doubt the power savings would have made up for it

clear ferry
#

V1/V2 are gen8 and V3/V4 are Gen9 in HPE servers atleast

#

Intel's famous tick tock

Tick tock?

Tick - architecture change, Tock - die shrink

I think it may have blown out in recent years

#

Do you think Intel will always hold their dominance in enterprise.

ocean mirage
#

I would have thought so but I know some people losing it at EPYC features/performance

clear ferry
#

Epyc has shitty designs for some applications in enterprise

#

Skylake is by far the superior design

#

And when Itanium will retire now a lot of those features will be moved to Xeon

#

Strengthening the product

@odd mason because I got API banned yesterday after just uploading for an hour or so, I still have to make sure fuse Mounts and so on

Technically better does not always mean better for the market though

Hey guys, not the best channel probably but don't want to annoy those guys talking already on the homeassistant channel...
So, i'm happy the updater component is now seen as a sensor in v 0.98. But my dev page shows:
binary_sensor.updater: unavailable

updater: exists in configuration.yaml (since v. 0.96) but can't tell if it ever worked as I never noticed notification(s).

Honestly, I've never seen "semicolon missing" as an error. "Unnecesary semicolon" happens in python, though.

What the compiler knows is that something is not right, and while there's often only one way things can be right there's infinite ways it can be wrong.

are they used as storage tho

scenic radish

^^^that's the real question

@odd mason yes in memory databases are a thing

scenic radish

what started as a joke is actually real

clear ferry

I never joke๐Ÿ˜›

odd mason
#

@clear ferry for sure but there's always some sort of disk storage

clear ferry
#

Yes, but the whole database can live in memory

#

Then just write changes at set intervals to disk

Which is usually nvme or ssd

odd mason

i bought some SSDs that i need to install in my server

no

no space for NVMe

the amount of times as a child I would have a yoghurt and throw the tub in the sink and the spoon in the bin

Well, it makes sense here, since they come with one time use spoons and we recycle big plastic items by washing them in the sink ๐Ÿ˜›

ocean mirage

You wash recyclables but use disposable spoons

Usually all plastics recycle, but I usually just do the big stuff, unless I have good time shh

#

And glass recycles

#

And paper and cardboard

#

From regular households that is

#

And we sort our bio degradable from the rest

#

All defective electronics can be delivered for free to any outlet that sells them

clever mortar
#

We have to take our electronics to a recycling centre

#

So most folks just bin them ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

clear ferry
#

Used to be like that.. 25 years ago

#

But then shops were told if you sell them you gotta accept them

clever mortar

If only...

clear ferry

And they have to deliver them to the recycling centers

#

Same with batteries and lightbulbs

clever mortar

We have that for batteries, and I think lightbulbs now

Not that I've had any LED bulbs fail on me yet...

clear ferry
#

And we are the country that has to do all the emission controls and demand people have to buy electric vehicles, it's so bullshit from one end to the other ๐Ÿ˜›

clever mortar
#

Yeah, I know too many folks who don't bother with recycling. The clinking of bottles in their waste bin makes that all too clear

clear ferry
#

Remember when I lived in Ireland, there was one bin for all dogekek

#

My mattress when I moved out? The bin, pet bottles? The bin, glass? The bin, batteries? The bin

clever mortar
#

Yeah... thankfully we've moved on a bit since then, but too few councils enforce correct use of the different bins

#

I used to live in an area that did regular checks of the contents of the bins, to ensure you weren't putting non-recyclables in the recycling bin, or recyclables in the waste bin - and would then refuse to collect until you corrected it

clear ferry
#

My parents only have one bin, but trash is sorted optically based on the colour of the bag, bio, glass, general, plastics, paper in the same bin

clever mortar
#

Nice

#

That's really the only way to tackle it I suspect - automate the sorting ๐Ÿ˜„

clear ferry
#

Yeah even the trash car is electric, and only one guy doing the route, because houses put the bins at the street and the car optically adjusts to pick them up correctly while parking at the street

I'm having issues getting my PS4 integration to work ..
It's not really an HA issue since I can't seem to connect with the second screen app on android either
Although it's not an issue with HA, would anyone happen to know a solution ?

boreal pewter
#

Not using PS4 mindblown

vestal reef
#

It just gives me a "the connection to the server timed out" error

#

I've searched on google and first few pages don't really seem much help (which doesn't happen often ๐Ÿ˜‹ )

clear ferry
#

@vestal reef PS4 on cable and phone on WiFi?

vestal reef
#

yes

clear ferry
#

Do they share the same subnet?

vestal reef
#

yes

clear ferry
#

And have you tried connecting the PS4 to WiFi only?

vestal reef
#

no cuz wifi is really shitty where the ps4 is :p

clear ferry
#

I know certain routers block communication between wired and wireless

vestal reef
#

but I can connect to ps4 with remote play on pc fine (pc is also cable)

clear ferry
#

So there is your answer probably

vestal reef
#

is it a direct connection though ?

#

doesn't it just connect to sony servers and then back to PS4 ?

clear ferry
#

๐Ÿคท

vestal reef
#

will try ๐Ÿ˜‹

boreal pewter
#

I know that I had no problem with that with a FritzBox and cable + wifi, but yeah, as said, not using PS4 solves the problem also. We maybe turned the PS4 like a year ago on?

vestal reef
#

PS4 get used for hours each day here, but thing is I had it set so that HA detects the ps4 being turned on and then turns on amp and beamer automatically, so now we have to turn it on manually again, and once used to stuff just working it's kinda hard going back ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

#

@clear ferry Just tried it on WIFI, same issue ..

clear ferry
#

Not sure, but doesn't the PS4 support CEC? If so it should just do that without ha ๐Ÿคท

vestal reef
#

weird thing is I used the exact setup as it is now, ps4 on lan, same phone on wLan to initially set it all up and it worked fine then

clear ferry
#

Hopefully not phone on wan ๐Ÿ˜›

vestal reef
#

ps4 does, but beamer doesnt ๐Ÿคฆ

boreal pewter
#

Updated router? Updated PS4? Changed settings on one of both? Restarted everything?

#

Static IP's to all devices?

vestal reef
#

good tips, will try..

boreal pewter
#

Not too sure again, like 2 years ago I added it once and felt like useless, but I think within the mobile app it could be that the PS4 is added via the internal IP which would change every few days unless static IP's

#

SO readding it or so would be another thing at the end when at least using static IP's

vestal reef
#

thing is, when installing the app from scratch it asks for email and pasw, and it's there that I get the error, not even te screen to add a ps4 by numbercode ..

@hushed basalt what you gonna cluster? And still using docker container then?

hushed basalt
#

Kubernetes

#

Bare metal install. Probably Ubuntu LTS, managed with ansible, then kubernetes

Using my Synology NFS shares for persistent storage

boreal pewter
#

Yeah but Kubernetes can spinup docker-containers

#

And what services are you going to cluster?

clear ferry
#

HPC or go home!

hearty depot
clear ferry
#

I love obscure instruments, now I want one

hushed basalt
#

@boreal pewter
I'll start with my current docker stack which is HA, node red, mqtt, zigbee2mqtt, all the 'arr services like sonarr, plex, rclone, caddy, etc etc

clear ferry
#

@strange vapor probably has one

hushed basalt
#

Then I'll look into ELK, hashicorp stuff

#

Maybe go back to traefik

#

Not really interested in storage. As no one runs that themselves nowadays so the educational element is worthless

#

Plus I don't want to invest in ECC hardware to run Ceph etc

boreal pewter
#

And you can make HASS clusterable? Since we had the talk in #449717345808547842 weeks ago and I'm pretty sure it's not esily clusterable

hushed basalt
#

Yeah it's probably not

#

But single node with eventual recovery is enough for me

#

So if I take down a node it will spin up HA again on another node

#

Life is too short to make non cluster aware services fraken clusterable

boreal pewter
#

Yeah, make a guide how you moved from docker to kubernetes/docker and networking setup

#

I can't find such all in one or the specific things I need at all understandable

clear ferry
#

So not clustering at all @hushed basalt just HA, like we have done with VMware for 15 years ๐Ÿ˜›

hushed basalt
#

Well Kubernetes is a cluster

#

Not my fault if HA devs aren't cluster aware ;)

#

But other services are cluster aware which I'll be running... When I have a cluster

boreal pewter
#

Oh btw: Kubernetes is not a cluster as is. Per definition it is an Orchestrator, which can be used to Cluster. It can just as well also maintain a single node. Because it is an orchestrator

clear ferry
#

I need to take a look at all this docker shit soon ThonkEyes

hushed basalt
#

Oh I know it's not a cluster :p

But my cluster of three baremetal nodes will be a cluster :d

full docker, no vms ๐Ÿ˜‰

boreal pewter
#

That doesn't matter. To run in single node it just needs one small parameter, and if that needs to be asked then he should maybe not host anything. But beside that, just because it can run a cluster and may be even the most used in professional and business environments, it doesn't mean to run in single mode is nooby

Hey folks! Anyone very familiar with mesh wifi networks?

#

I'm moving in to a new place that I "can't touch" for one or two years and will be living on the third floor with my family (a relative-owned) home. I will be taking over the internet, but the router will have to be on the first floor. The third floor does not get coverage. MoCa and Powerline are not options. Mesh is the best thing I can come up with.

clever mortar
#

If you've got a question, best to actually ask it ๐Ÿ˜‰

chilly nymph
#

I don't know that I have a specific question. More just what people's general experiences have been. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

Reviews are good online. I'm eyeing the Velop system.

#

I saw that the newer Deco system has zigbee integrated, though don't see an HA integration for it, so not sure it would do me much good anyway.

#

Not worth trying to build one anyway when I already have a few zigbee solutions that have all worked for me in the past

clever mortar
#

Any reason you've ruled out Powerline?

chilly nymph
#

it's a multi-family dwelling with separate breakers

#

MoCa won't work because there is no coax in the third unit, and I've been asked not to install one. Hence why I need to use the internet from the first floor and can't get my own. But I get to take over the cost of it. That's my fault though because they are happy with 25 mbps. I'm not.

clever mortar
#

Yeah, so mesh should work fine, or even a cable out the window ๐Ÿ˜‰

chilly nymph
#

Hah. I'd actually be fine with that. Won't pass the WAF though.

#

I keep telling myself it's temporary. We are selling our condo/moving because of the school district. The one we bought in keeps getting worse and is now nearing the bottom.

#

Not that you need my whole life story. ๐Ÿ˜’

clever mortar
#

Ouch

#

Yeah, I can understand GTFO in that case

chilly nymph
#

Yep. Unfortunately, the prices right now on homes are also through the roof. So there's the hope we will "get out at the top" and then be able to buy again in another community.

clear ferry
#

I run velop

#

And it works fine for my house

chilly nymph
#

@clear ferry What are your thoughts on it from a poweruser perspective? And are you running the dual-band or tri-band version?

#

I'll be switching from asuswrt-merlin but have also used things like dd-wrt and openwrt in the past.

clear ferry
#

I have a 20 meter long House, i have one in each end and one in the middle I have the dual band ones

#

Used to run HP MSM access points, but wanted something more modern

#

I run them in bridge, all routing happens in pfsense

chilly nymph
#

Ah. I haven't gotten into pfsense. I want to. But I have a feeling this isn't the time to do it.

clever mortar
#

I used pfSense a while back, was rather happy with it (as a power user)

clear ferry
#

Running it for 15 years, can recommend it

clever mortar
#

Used to spend lots of time on their forums, but life (and a lack of pfSense) got in the way

chilly nymph
#

Yeah, everyone loves it. I am subbed to the pfsense subreddit. I just don't think me bringing the internet down for everyone in the house would go over well while I learn it.

clever mortar
#

It does provide incentive to learn fast though ๐Ÿ˜›

chilly nymph
#

Time isn't exactly something I'm rich with at the moment though, with work

#

And my commute is going to go up to over an hour, which won't help

clear ferry
#

I drive 40.000km per year, plus flights, and work 140% hours at work and have a baby, want to compare notes? ๐Ÿ˜›

clever mortar
#

Yeah, but at least the school won't suck - and it's only for a "few" years ๐Ÿ˜‰

chilly nymph
#

It better not be a few years

#

@clear ferry I'm not 15 years in to pfsense though, lol. But We can compare notes if you want. I'm only at 60 hours a week at work if you don't compare my work from home time. Two kids under 6. So you probably have me beat.

It doesn't really mean anything though. Just some fancy letters after my name.

Eh, it all looks good on the CV

chilly nymph
#

That's why I'll celebrate it. Even though there was no real raise since it came with my annual performance review.

@clear ferry Do you remember setting up the router when you first got it? A couple articles I'm reading seem to indicate it can be set up via mobile app only. I much prefer to be able to use https and ssh

#

I do wonder if the person who said that was how you make wire wool was pulling my leg ๐Ÿค”

chilly nymph
#

I'm a millennial who always gets frustrated when people claim millennials can't fix stuff around the house because I've fixed just about every appliance in mine.

But then my neighbors tell me about how they buy new appliances because of something small that would cost $30 to fix and I wonder if there is something to it. Or ask me to help them figure out what kind of light bulb they need (which just happened). Maybe I should stop getting offended? lol

clever mortar
#

Its more a mindset thing, and there's enough folks I grew up with who wouldn't know how to fix anything - including my brother

chilly nymph
#

Probably partially a mindset thing and that most of us aren't moving into houses until we have a fully established career these days

#

So disposable income doesn't necessitate pinching pennies, I suppose

clever mortar
#

I learned how to fix stuff while growing up. Partly because I was interested, and partly because I saw my dad doing DIY and I wanted to "be like him"

chilly nymph
#

Same.

clever mortar
#

Then again, I've always wanted to understand why and how

chilly nymph
#

I've splurged on some things though. Like I upgraded my dishwasher when my old one barely started acting up. But mostly because when that thing ran, I couldn't watch TV due to how loud it is and we have an open floor plan

#

@clever mortar Same. But that got me in trouble when I disassembled my dad's scanner when I was a kid

clever mortar
#

Yeah, we fix (or pay to have fixed) things that are fixable, as long as they're not turning into a money pit

#

Eh, I only got into trouble once, and the fuse blew before I got seriously hurt...

chilly nymph
#

I got into trouble only because my dad explicitly told me not to do it. I didn't break the thing. I was just curious.

clever mortar
#

๐Ÿ˜„

chilly nymph
#

I suppose it tells you something if you have to be told not to take apart something we just bought

#

So I think I've narrowed my choices down to the lyra and a setup with aimesh

clear ferry
#

I was encouraged to fix stuff around the house since I was a kid ๐Ÿคท

#

Anything I can build or repair myself I do

clever mortar
#

I'm better at breaking hardware than fixing it

chilly nymph
#

Agreed. People thought I was crazy when I said I was going to fix my furnace. I paid someone to fix it once, but that was because it was in the middle of the winter. When it was in the fall and something broke on it, I just took care of it myself.

If you have your own domain name, gmail doesn't quite live up. But you can still use it.

And a few dozen mail hosts

But if you are looking for free hosted email, there is gmail, outlook.com, yahoo, mail.com, etc etc

While in Gmail google uses and sells your data you may be better with a small provider like Protonmail which still makes it's money by offering very small space for free and then selling Premium. But secure as of no one can read doesn't exist unless encrypting yourself

clever mortar
#

GSuite they don't use and sell your data, at least not according to the contract...

#

It depends on whether you trust them not to be evil...

storm summit
#

Yea. I should really look into moving to something like that. google seems evil.

boreal pewter

Gsuite is not free in that case tho

storm summit
#

well, for that paid stuff they don't harvest your data.

past idol

@boreal pewter do you have any experience with protonmail?

boreal pewter

So if something is free, most likely YOU are the money

#

I use protonmail for 2 accounts

I haven't had issues or so

past idol
#

I see

#

paid is not a problem

#

until a certain extent

#

of course

storm summit
#

hmmm ..but switching means calendar and contact and all that stuff.

chilly nymph
#

Yes, when using a free service, you are not the client and are instead the product

#

With the exception of something like HASS, which is community supported

storm summit
#

Hrmz. I do like the integrations of email/cal/contact. switching would be tough

boreal pewter
#

That is called Open Source

chilly nymph
#

Yes, it is...

storm summit
#

I'm pretty sure there are self-hosed email solutions that come pre-made in docker ๐Ÿ™‚

chilly nymph
#

But there are things that are not open source that are also community supported

storm summit
#

maybe frenk should get on that

boreal pewter
#

Everyone can host an SMTP sure

#

While it is probably still the most attacked and often insecure found service due to terrible admins

past idol
#

I've heard good things about mailbox too

storm summit
#

Just imagine all the pi people running their own email servers. heheh

past idol
#

yeah but at least with protonmail there is bridge etc.

#

I need to use it on my phone too

and other devices

chilly nymph
#

I would not think integrating an email server into hass would be a good idea

storm summit
#

You mean hassio addon right?

chilly nymph
#

Ok. give me a second. I'll be back once I've finished crying.

#

Alright. I found a docker based email server. @storm summit do you want to make the add-on or do you want me to?

past idol
#

by the way do you think there is any reasonable cloud service?

#

which is not dropbox gdrive etc?

chilly nymph
#

What kind of cloud service? Based on your follow-up, I'm guessing you mean cloud storage?

past idol
#

yeah

#

need to store a few stuff

#

and access it from my phone

#

until i can setup a naws

#

nas

chilly nymph
#

I've used box.net, dropbox, gdrive, and aws and have been happy with them. If you want something kind of "premade and easy," dropbox and box.net are probably some of the more consumer friendly

#

any reason you don't want dropbox

#

There's also a litany of webhosts. I've used my webhost as cloud storage in the past.

#

And if you don't need it to "act" like dropbox, just use any old ftp server

past idol
#

ah privacy issues with that too

chilly nymph
#

What privacy issues are you concerned about? No matter who you are paying, someone else at least at a minimum has access to your files. You can always encrypt them.

clever mortar
#

Yup, if you're worried, encrypt before uploading

hearty depot
#

if encryption wouldn't be so tedious work

chilly nymph
#

And I'd think the ftp server route, depending on who you are paying, would have the fewest privacy concerns

storm summit
#

@chilly nymph get on that addon ๐Ÿ™‚ . which project are you proposing

past idol
#

@hearty depot agreed

#

yeah but it depends

#

i mean if a small company sees it it is still better

I still need to sit down and figure out how to package up an add-on

past idol

Google tends to be so annoying

it logs everything

Why is it hard to encrypt?

I don't use hassio myself but any project that wants more exposure would be smart to be a hassio addon

Also, something that is very scary is since I use it and keep location services enabled, they log everywhere I've ever been.

There is good reason to be concerned about privacy.

#

At the moment, I just value the convenience over privacy. Which I realize is probably a terrible thing to say.

past idol
#

yeah maybe but I can totally understand it

#

and also because it is not considered important by bigger companies

it is hard to use that stuff

That said, I switched away from nest when Google bought it.

And I've intentionally not bought some amazon things.

Only have one with a camera in the kitchen though.

is echo any better privacy wise than ggl?

If you are 100% privacy centric, don't use any voice assistant. You may also need to get rid of your phone, depending on the phone you have. and don't use any websites or apps on your computer that can access the microphone.

#

I don't mean that to be a troll. A voice assistant is probably the worst of them, but all three are real

hearty depot

worst thing, i know

chilly nymph

I had a friend mention to me the new place he had an interview in person. I started to see ads for that company the next day. I had never once heard of it before, as it was a small newspaper in a completely different state.

#

Possible coincidence. But quite a weird one.

hearty depot
#

had also two of this coincidence ads - but i'm honest - not anymore since energized protection and adguard - I just dont see ads anymore

chilly nymph
#

I got them on my phone. I don't do anything to block ads on my phone besides pihole at home

#

and I disable pihole a lot anyway because it keeps breaking things

hearty depot
#

check out adguard ๐Ÿ™‚ I got a phisical button in front of me with the label i want to see this add

chilly nymph
#

So it's local to the device, it looks like

hearty depot
#

no, its rather pihole on steroids
energized protection is local

chilly nymph
#

It looks like it's available for windows, android, ios, and mac though? I won't be running my network traffic through one of my devices running any of those OS's

hearty depot
#

What youre talking about now? energized or adguard?

chilly nymph
#

adguard

hearty depot
#

only DNS requests
and they are then secured throu dns over tls

chilly nymph
#

Oh, you are just talking about the DNS service.

hearty depot
#

it does more? ๐Ÿคฃ

chilly nymph
#

There are several services on their website. Most are installs.

I already use some DNS services on occasion

My router also has some built in DNS lists

I'm starting to think I will need to settle on aimesh because it will be hard for me to move on from merlin.

@lyric spoke How long would you expect it to take a newbie like me to get pfsense set up and running for the basics of things?

Nope. Sorry

You missed the conversation, but I'm going to have to rethink my entire network very soon because I'm moving

@chilly nymph a few hours ๐Ÿ˜›

That's not super bad

Probably more than I'll want to spend while everything else is going on though

I'm a weirdo though, I usually fix products I don't know in less time than people who actively work with them at work ๐Ÿ˜›

chilly nymph
#

Yeah, no, I get that.

#

I just also know I'm going to be tech support for everything in the building (already am, but am less accessible at the moment)

#

so low-touch is also a good thing

#

I'll already need to reconfigure everything in homeassistant lol

meager magnet

made the mistake of showing my in-laws my emby server and now i'm permanently tech support for them

I was kidding about making the add on

I would never want to tie a mail server to hass

#

What could go wrong

static plinth
#

So what's the deal with nest moving forward? Are new users basically unable to control nest with home assistant now?

static plinth
#

For example if I wanted to create a scene that toggles the nest home or away status... do I basically need to wait until a works with Google Assistant module for nest is created by the Home assistant user community? Is controlling the nest possible with Google Assistant via home assistant? Will it be? Is it just me or is it weird that nest wouldn't work with home assistant (a Google product?). anyway I told my client not to buy nest and they went and bought three... And only now are they realizing that they really do need some automated thermostat controls in their smart Home

ECOVACS DEEBOT OZMO 950 is on sale for 650 at Costco right now

just picked one up. apparently one of the most powerful robot vacuums on the market right now

i want a robot mop

@amber bramble this is a 2 in 1

But I have the bravo jet too

It's okay...the setup for mops is the annoying part

#

I just like that I can use it locally with some of the projects on GitHub.

chilly nymph
#

@clear ferry I set up pfsense in a VM to test it out. It was surprisingly easy. I assumed there would be a lot less wizard and a lot more manual component activation via command line.

azure frost
#

Anyone able to help me out with a issue with home assistant and snip.ai?

chilly nymph
azure frost
#

Thanks! I'm new here and have no clue where anything goes!

#

This discord seems wayy more active then snips.ai so im hoping\ I have better luck here lol

chilly nymph
#

Not a problem. You may not get an answer right away, but best to ask the exact (initial) question and hopefully someone will get back to you

azure frost
#

Ah ok

chilly nymph
#

I know nothing about snip.ai or I would offer to help

azure frost
#

Do you think what I said enough or no?

#

Should I post log info

#

and config or should I wait and see

chilly nymph
#

I would say what you said is good to start with

azure frost
#

Ok thanks for the tips!

chilly nymph
#

If it's a known issue someone will chime in. If it's not, they'll likely try to help you troubleshoot or potentially send you back to snip.ai

#

depending on if they think it's an issue with the integration or with snip.ai itself

azure frost
#

Ah ok snip.ai dosent seem to be very active on it.

#

Ah ok

#

I think it might be a issue with config but im not sure theres a better way

#

Like its tied in fine

chilly nymph
#

I guess what I'm saying is it could be an issue with snip.ai or it could be an issue with how HA is interfacing with it

azure frost
#

I think that might be it

chilly nymph
#

so depending on which side it is would define how best to approach the fix

azure frost
#

Makes sense

#

At least this discord is more active so it has that going for it

chilly nymph
#

It cycles on and off. Speaking of, I need to run. Good luck!

azure frost

Thanks! Bye!

@chilly nymph it ain't rocket science, but if you want it can do outstanding stuff ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Playing with snapcast for audio in a few rooms, and it's really really damn nice. The thought occurs, I've been dropping in Pi 3s behind the speakers for snapcast client duties. They could also be used as BT presence detection...

clear ferry
#

Even zeros would suffice I guess

boreal pewter
#

Nah I would at least put a 4HE 19" with a few Xeons at each, just making sure it doesn't lack performance issues

#

@clear ferry can provide a few TB RAM just to cache everything

clear ferry
strange vapor
#

Meh, Pi3 already in the rooms, might was well make use of them for more than snapcast ๐Ÿ˜„

hushed basalt
#

@strange vapor you can wire in sensors as well

#

Temperature, humidity, environmental, PIR, reed switches,

#

It's handy to have hardwired sensors to your PIs gpios

#

No batteries, no wireless intererence, and dirt cheap per sensor

strange vapor
#

You're just being a bad influence now....

hushed basalt
#

Run a bell switch to a wall plate

#

Use it to control the lights to that room

#

Looks 100% identical to the normal light switch plates

#

And costs $5 instead of $50

Hell put a touch screen on the RPI and stick it on the wall

Now you have a alarm/HA control/music panel

wooo, created my first docker container

#

but it failed to start

๐Ÿคฃ

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS                      PORTS               NAMES

boreal pewter
#

I guess there is something wrong

clear ferry
#

It's probably me

#

it always is me ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

#

I created it like this

docker run --name kakuzu -v /docker/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d mariadb:latest --net=intranett
boreal pewter
#

I'm not too familiar with run commands

#

But you use bind mounts

#

/docker/mariadb needs to have the owner as the same UID and GUID as WITHIN the container

clear ferry
#

it is probably my syntax, I wanted it to use a macvlan network I created called intranett but I see the docker logs say

2019-09-02 13:27:36 0 [ERROR] mysqld: ambiguous option '--net=intranett' (net_buffer_length, net_retry_count)

ERROR: mysqld failed while attempting to check config
command was: "mysqld --net=intranett --verbose --help --log-bin-index=/tmp/tmp.mjWoBbgQ0k"
#

guessing --net= is not the alias of the network

boreal pewter
#
#

--network

dull chasm
#

@clear ferry i got a compose file for it but workstation is unplugged ...getting ready for new speakers ...i cna share later when its back up

clear ferry
#

just gives me another error @boreal pewter ๐Ÿคฃ 2019-09-02 13:36:38 0 [ERROR] mysqld: unknown variable 'network=intranett'

#

I need to go back to basics

strange vapor
#

hmm, since when does mysql take a network option? I can see the docker cli taking it, not mysqld

clear ferry
#

oh, that is where I'm going wrong, I want to specify the network of the container

#

but it passes it as a mysql variable

boreal pewter
#

The network setting is always a Docker setting and not a service setting

strange vapor
#

ie, docker run --network=intranett $image mysqld ....

boreal pewter
#

It is mandatory to use them

strange vapor
#

It's just ordering of the args most likely

boreal pewter
#

Yeah, just have the image always being the end of command

clear ferry
#

that worked like a charm

boreal pewter
#

But you won't use run commands for long for sure

clear ferry
#

knowing that the order matters is helpful

#

๐Ÿคฃ

strange vapor
#

@clear ferry I've learnt that the hard way ๐Ÿ™‚

dull chasm
#

@boreal pewter no doubt i got away from them quick

boreal pewter
#

Yep ๐Ÿ™‚

dull chasm
#

with compose you have all the setting to recreate

strange vapor
#

Just deploy a full K8S cluster!!! That makes it all easier, and you have the hardware!

dull chasm
#

ok ....i got started like two days ago

boreal pewter
#

While I wouldn't really chose k8s I wouldn't even agree to "easier"

#

I have not yet managed to get all working steps together to migrate my setup to kubernetes

clear ferry
#

meh, guessing my macvlan does not work, since I cannot see any IP of the container when running docker inspect ID ๐Ÿคฃ

dull chasm
#

all i have is a mini tower 17 with 8 cores ....not like its a server

I'm catching up with you @dull chasm better run!

Well, by the time you have controllers, etcd and something like istio setup, you'll be so disheartened, you won't care about deploying the app!

I never touched macvlan but at least the network exists ๐Ÿ˜„

brisk glen

heh I know

dull chasm
#

๐Ÿคฃ

brisk glen
#

you will in time

clear ferry
#

@boreal pewter I want just regular passthrough of networking, like regular vms so macvlan is the right choice isn't it ?

boreal pewter
#

Bridge

dull chasm
#

@brisk glen oh i think its 8th gen maybe 7th but its unplugged right now

brisk glen
#

@clear ferry do you want each container to appear as its own pc? bind to certan ports? or act like it is the host?

boreal pewter
#

With a common bridge network like docker network create -d bridge NAME you can open specific ports via ports: in compose, or connect to the host by binding the service itself within the container to the gateway IP

brisk glen
#

@dull chasm I just got my mac mini 2018. I really need that 32 GB of ram badly. I cant do crap with 8 GB

boreal pewter
#

ELSE you would use host network

#

And you could use internal for DB's

dull chasm
#

mac ....... boo

boreal pewter
#

In a custom bridge network the containers can also talk to each other in the same network

brisk glen
#

my workflow revolves around a mac

#

its mac or linux

clear ferry
#

I want no kind of specialized network config for docker, I just want like a regular vswitch in vmware, where each container gets their own mac address and all network control happens at the perimiter of my network

#

I was under the impression that was macvlan, I was probably wrong ๐Ÿคฃ

dull chasm
#

i use windows for easy of operation with just browsing and web but all else runs linux

strange vapor
#

@clear ferry I do that just by setting up a normal linux bridge.

#

Attach to your main network interface and then tell docker to use it

brisk glen
#

macos all the way, windows can piss off with its updates

@strange vapor โค

brisk glen

@dull chasm but the topic says docker ๐Ÿ˜›

dull chasm
#

in docker it does but we are in louge

clear ferry

@dull chasm we should have seperate docker \ esxi \ etc channels, that are not installation methods, wouldn't concidering talking in #449717345808547842 if it wasn't HA related docker ๐Ÿค”

boreal pewter
#

I thought so too

brisk glen
#

we also need a kubernetes

strange vapor
#

@clear ferry In my case, I've got a bridge per vlan which makes things even handier.

dull chasm
#

i have a server and could make those channells but not here

strange vapor
#

Really handy for quick learning.

boreal pewter
#

k3s is a full replacement for k8s

#

They both are still Kubernetes

brisk glen
#

still debating on my kube install for the pi 4 with 4 GB of ram

boreal pewter
#

k3s is in fact more lightweight

#

YOu only need Containerd and not docker itself to run docker images

brisk glen
#

indeed

#

soo many things to decide, soo many things I can do with kube instead of docker

#

zerotier one might be my networking backbone

clear ferry
#

I'll definitivly stick with ESXi for now, but I need to learn docker, nice to have on my resumรจ ๐Ÿคฃ

brisk glen
#

@clear ferry its much lighter on resources

#

worth it

strange vapor
#

@brisk glen Not always these days, depends on the workload.

clear ferry
#

yeah, ligher on resources don't bother me, when I install 6TB memory servers at customers ๐Ÿคฃ

brisk glen
#

T.T

#

I am very limited on resources for home use lol

clear ferry

I have a 192GB 24 core server right now, that I've had for the last 5 years, replacing it with a 32 core \ 512GB probably

strange vapor

@clear ferry can sort you out with a spare Synerygy 12000

I'm sure he has one in his back pocket spare!

clear ferry

I actually have a spare one at the office that we lend out for demos ๐Ÿคท

After having been a programmer, then sysadmin and DBA and running an SMB datacenter for 25 years, I gave up overcomplicating things at home. My home server is a Qotom Q1904G with a 250 GB SSD, backing up nightly to another 250 GB SSD, all backed up to Amazon Glacier for about $0.80 per month.

#

Now I added a raspberry Pi for playing around with Home assistant. We actively avoid voice controlled devices, our phones run alternate loaders that don't enable <random listening stuff> or at least claim not to.

#

Used to have quite a bit more, and I realized that when I'm home I just don't wanna do that.

#

Currently in a rental and building a new home (again - we did this 10 years ago or so figuring that was the last new home, but opportunities arose and we took them) so the goal for the new house is an intranet of things, none of which have significant phone home to the mothership activities.
