#Homelab

104 posts90 participants12 posts today

Saturday morning: woke up to all my tech being down because my UPS died (because I never installed the replacement batteries I order) so I:
* Replaced the batteries
* Updated Opnsense
* Updated TrueNAS core
* Updated Proxmox

Not a bad start to my weekend on the #homelab front! #selfhosted

Did I just try to set up a combined Ceph/OpenStack cluster on three VMs on my laptop? - Yes

Did my laptop nearly go up in flames from the load of it all? - Also yes 😄

Did it work? - Technically yes- but only for a moment before big bad OOM set in and ruined everything 😝

Ceph was also *really* unhappy about the memory contention resulting in several *seconds* of latency on the OSDs *BUT*! I could do it- just for shits and giggles 😄

As my new #OPNsense N100 is in the rack because it's basically a large heat sink and it gets quite warm. The CPU is reporting 62-70 Celsius and I got it down to just 50C by pointing one of my wife's desktop USB small fans at it. So I've ordered a couple of 120mm USB powered fans with an airflow of about 100CFM. This will certainly drop the NUCs temperature and keep it low as this room the rack is in gets quite warm in the summer. I may even end up putting in some fans into the actual top of the cabinet too yet ? #HomeLab #FreeBSD #RunBSD

I tried to set up a Galene server this morning on a disposable instance on a cloud provider. The web interface failed on every call. Forbidden on the root page, not found on others. Even the TURN server didn't work. That was supposed to be easier than my previous self-hosted try, but it was worse!

While looking for new hardware for our home server (a 19'' mini rack server is very tempting...), I just came across project #minirack

10" rack server builds using a mix of off-the-shelf commercial and #diy #3dprinted mounts, panels, frontplates etc.

Looks interesting (and the mini racks are also rather cute).
Maybe interesting to some of you.

Future #homelab space! Having part of the “attic” space finished to complement the recent solar+battery installation. Aiming for lots of sound proofing thus why the elevated floor.

#Proxmox virtualization often goes along with the great Proxmox Backup Server - and we always want statistics! Let's get our metrics of PBS in Grafana!

In this HowTo, we will quickly install and configure the pbs-exporter for hashtag#Prometheus on a Proxmox Backup Server system, add a token for the user and install the hashtag#Grafana dashboard. - #devops #homelab #netops #virtualization #backup #pbs #proxmoxbackupserver
