Precisely that
So, conceptual question incoming:
Dad has a i7 8700 (non k) with 16GB RAM running windows 10 pro for blue iris. Plan is to run aitool and deepstack on it.
I then got sent down the docker rabbit hole.
If I ran docker on W10, could I run a docker HA instance for their house?
Should I, or should I go seperate hardware? Perhaps get my dad to slap another 2x8GB sticks in it?
clear ferry
Docker and windows does not mix, especially with things that need host mode
last cedar
Okay, not a great idea then.
I realise now I should have run esx and had a w10 virtual machine :)
Or somethibg like that
clear ferry
You'd be better off running Linux on it, move to any docker based image processing, like doods
And 16GB is enough by far for a host with that purpose
Or if you prefer blue iris for some reason, run a KVM instance with BI
last cedar
Problem is that this is back in england, and I can't sort that until I am over there next time.
I do like BI very much :)
Why is docker on windows 10 so bad (bear in mind I have never dockered :P)
hoary lodge
Docker on windows is basically linux in a virtual machine
Docker on linux natively allows passthrough of sound devices, or quicksync/nvenc to the containers (useful if running a plex container for example). As far as I know this isn't possible (yet??) on windows
last cedar
It wouldn't need to passthrough stuff.
The other side of it is though, I don't necessarily need to have HA on the same machine either, so I can probably forgoe docker and just let that do camera stuff
last cedar
I don't know how much of a problem the known bugs are in reality, but they seem fairly large. Probably better to go a different direction :)

At best it is a half baked solution

forest edge
what you paid for both of those you could have just got the coral dongle lol
clear ferry
Pssh, usb is for kids
clear ferry
Wait.. ๐
> Two PCIe Gen2 x1
Let's find out!
forest edge
so is HP so it works puuuurrrrfffect
subtle pasture
I don't see a PLX chip on that card, so it may actually try to show up as two independent PCIe 1x devices
If that's the case, the slot will need to support bifurcation, otherwise you'll only see the first device
Also, if you slot it into a PCIe adapter card that's physically 1x, the second TPU's lanes wouldn't be connected at all, and it'd never show up
@clear ferry Mind linking the adapter you went with? ๐
clear ferry
Cheapest I found ๐

Your NOK 8.66 in coupons are here!

forest edge
i doubt it would even make it into a computer to begin with
it's gonna sit on that desk in his garage along with all the other clutter
it will be in his next picture of trying to show us something we all can't spot
clear ferry
Even with only the first one showing up it will get me up and running and is a better solution than the usb one for my needs
And I can research finding another adapter
subtle pasture
The m.2 module you linked is E-key, which is supposed to require "two 1x lanes" be wired to the slot. That adapter card only has one 1x lane
I usually only see M-Key and M+B-Key, had to look up wtf E-key was...
forest edge
by the time he finds an adapter that actually works he could have bought two dongles lol
subtle pasture
I'm not actually finding any PCIe adapter cards for E-key that enable both PCIe lanes
Probably because that would require a PLX chip for most motherboards to support (which isn't cheap to add to the adapter)
Most of these adapters are so cheap that they require a connection to a USB header on the motherboard, rather than include a USB controller of their own (E-Key devices sometimes require USB be available on the slot)
forest edge
|| get the dongle ya goober ||
clear ferry
With the price of the dual one I had no reason to buy a single one though, and I can reuse the dual capabilities down the line probably
subtle pasture
Yeah, this dual-TPU card seems like something you buy when you already happen to have a device that has a full-capability E-key slot onboard
Also, thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn about E-key M.2 slots. They're... weird...
That particular type of M.2 slot is supposed to provide USB 2.0, I2C, SDIO, UART, and PCM, in addition to the two PCIe 1x lanes
clear ferry
I like to poke holes in peoples heads
subtle pasture
I can see why fully featured adapter cards don't really exist, it basically has to be part of the motherboard

Well, that's likely down to power draw
I'd bet that the Home Assistant OS package draws more power than just an OS ๐
Well, the problem is "3A" may be something other than 3A
A lot of the USB "power supplies" require negotiation of a non-standard protocol
hushed basalt
Always always always use the official pi adapter's
cinder heart
Is the rpi doing active USB power negotiation at all? I thought it just was hardwired to the V+ and it blindly assumes sufficient current from the PSU
clever mortar
But many power supplies only send 0.5A or 1A unless otherwise negotiated
cinder heart
Yes, 0.5A, that's the standard, and then there is "negotiation" through pull up values if beyond that
cinder heart
I just glanced at the rpi schematics on the micro USB variants. They have no connection to the data pins on the power input, just V+ and GND, so there is no negotation on this. You have to supply a PSU that delivers what the rpi needs, otherwise you risk brownout
rpi4 uses USB-C, so that's a different ball game with the PD negotation. The good thing here is that the rpi can know if it has an inferior supply connected.

is there a place I can cry about how much I hate LIFX lights?

Darn. I had been using binfmt and docker to create a rpi container that could build binaries for running on the rpi. But it doesn't work no more for the older rpis, because for some unknown reason (qemu?) set the arch to armv7l, while the older needs armv6l.
light trout
Use buildx instead
cinder heart
Not sure if that will help, buildx is also using qemu
light trout
Sure, but just define linux/arm/v6 as the platform
cinder heart
Thanks. Interesting. I didn't know you could specify sub arch like this. I checked out the buildx sources to see how they do it, and then I see that the arm/v6 is armel, which I not what I want I think. rpi runs on the same image on newer rpis as well as old, and this is armhf, so I think I do want armhf. Binaries remain the same. My reason for this is that python wheels contains the arch, so it'll refuse to install armv7l wheels on older rpis, where it expects armv6l
light trout
arm is a shitshow
cinder heart
Actually this one think is on python ๐ Because everything ABI-wise is armhf
light trout
It's great in usage, but deside on 1 type... (Or 2 if you need to differ 32/64), thanks.
cinder heart
If any comfort to it, its getting better. Much better. Now that we are getting more and more binary distros (and docker images) the chip vendors have an incentive to keep the custom arm core customizations to a minimum. 10 years ago it was a mess because there were far too little mainstream traction on arm yet. Every SoC did it their own way and little was binary compatible.
But yeah, there several rants from Linus on the virtues of the ARM eco-system and Linux ๐

I've been considering moving from an older HP Procurve Server to a Pi4 w/ ESXi. My only concern is storage, I don't like the idea of relying on SD cards or flash drives so I would have to see what the best way to add at least 2 SSDs in Raid 1 would be. I have a stack of sata SSDs sitting in the corner unused. Haven't even looked into it yet but I assume I can connect those up one way or another, USB if I have to.
That aside, I would like some real world use feedback on how well ESXi itself runs on the Pi. Other than Veeam, which I could honestly just do without entirely as its a bit overkill for my needs, I could easily run everything I need on 1 Pi4.
With the other option being Raspbian and a bunch of docker containers which wouldn't be terrible either. I'm just accustomed to working with ESXi hosts all day for work that it's nice to mirror that at home.

There are a few commercial PI nas enclosures specifically for doing what you want. one had two bays and another i think had 4

the cost justifcation comes with if you don't have a case. the prebuilt takes care of all the needed power requirements while wrapping it in a small package along with the ability to power off and reset the pi from a physical switch

I have a QNAP NAS already and an HP ProCurve for all my various projects. The idea here is to reduce footprint and power consumption as none of what I am running really needs to be on true server hardware. I'm onboard with @forest edge here.
slow zenith
After some actual investigation into ESXi-Arm, I'm realizing that I might as well keep it on the Proliant server (I've been calling it ProCurve but that's the HP switch line) as I use it as a testbed for a lot of Windows based stuff so the Proliant has to stay regardless.
Just one of those things you hear about and think, "oh that's neat, let me find a reason to use that" until you spend 10 minutes actually thinking about it

Tbh, a NUC loaded with RAM and a NVME makes aa great ESX server, that you can actually run stuff on.
Obviously it is a bigger investment than a pi though.
Interested to see what these new apple m1 systems can do with regards to virtual machines.
It is only a matter of time before there is an esx for the new mac mini
subtle pasture
There any good options for dual NICs on the NUC yet?
That's the one thing that keeps me from recommending them for heavier virtualization workloads
Dual 2.5G NICs... better, but I was hoping to see 10G
If you wanted to do a traditional HA cluster (3 compute nodes and 2 storage nodes) you really need some bandwidth for the compute nodes to communicate with the shared storage
Or if you want to run converged storage (chuck an NVMe drive in every NUC and run vSAN) you need gobs of bandwidth to keep the network RAID performing well
3 NUCs in a cluster is the bare minimum you need to provide HA. lol
But networking is always an issue, because its been hard to get more than the built-in 1gbps NIC working

2x 2.5gbps NICs makes it a lot more feasible, at least

I use a second 2-port LACP team to connect the router to my core switch, which then allows for 1200 mbps aggregate over WAN

Yeah, I'd argue that most of the posts I've had a look at in those boards are people posting cards, themes, etc. that they have created themselves from scratch or based off another project. Not simply a dashboard they have put together with other people's creations

Either would work, but reddit is another option like you mentioned

Is operation via the web interface typical? Personally, once I got devices, scenes, and buttons wired the way that makes the most sense for us, I don't really use it. If things act up once in a blue moon I give the server a swift kick.

Some people like a "smart home" where HA is a pretty remote. Some of us like home automation ๐

I typically only use the web interface for setting the volume on my receiver and looking at my CCTV cams
don't really have much automated

I yell at that no good Alexa to do stuff
don't really have much that'd let me automate stuff, should probably start switching out switches for ones with motion detecting

I bet <@!332579266623438848> would know.
That's a scene from the first movie when he's introduced ๐

I knew it. He's the #1 Disney fan.

I quite like the media setup I ended up with: I use an IKEA "remote" device (the puck with four directional buttons and a central one) to control chromecast, TV, and receiver.

Next we'll hear him blame it on the kids or something. We all know he watches it for himself.

I do, but .... I've watched more Disney than them ๐

@tepid roost I pretty much only use my Shield TV remote

Heck, I've probably watched more Disney than everybody else in the house put together

No chance of using it to adjust receiver volume?
last dirge
it can adjust volume of some stuff

I need to try out these WLED boards Dr Zzs sent
Noice. What boards are they?
last dirge
ones he made
deft pewter
Ah, custom stuff?

Dig Uno?
deft pewter
atx can't do that. He just 3D prints dildos.
last dirge
it's just an ESP on a board with a switchmode supply
deft pewter
Reckon you can get the board to sync your music to match your lights?
last dirge
takes 5V or 12V in and can control 5V or 12V LED strips

@deft pewter E1.31 is what you want
last dirge
why do you say he didn't make them?
deft pewter
That's the protocol, right? Pass. I'm not interested in making a disco.
tepid roost
Market for used discos is probably quite good these days, no? ๐

I designed a shield for a wemos to do WLED stuff but never got around to fabbing them
he bugged me for the schematics and improved on them and then decided to ditch the wemos and just do raw ESP stuff
clear ferry
why do you say he didn't make them?
Because Adrian Faasen designed and made them afaik
last dirge
says he designed it on his page
deft pewter
That Dig-Uno looks okay. Might've been tempted if it didn't mean international shipping.
last dirge
he told me he designed it, so I'd guess he designed it

probably would've ended up making a shitload of the wemos shields except my stuff didn't work ๐

@last dirge If curious, this is my mapping:
C: Play/Pause
C-hold: Media scene / TV off
N: Receiver volume up (+.5 repeat 10)
N-hold: Receiver Chromecast input, default volume
S: Receiver volume down (-.5 repeat 10)
S-hold: Receiver aux input, default volume
W: Chromecast rewind 15 sec
E: Chromecast forward 15 sec
