Borgbackup Borgbackup is great. You can run a simple command to backup directories from one machine to another, as long as ssh between the 2 machines is available. Here's a sample command, assuming you have a remote borg repo already set up. I decided

It's been a while. Let's not make a big thing out of it. I've just finished setting up Hashicorp Vault in my lab and figure a brain dump of what I learnded would useful. The base install was done via docker. Nothing particularly complicated,

I'll add some context soon, but here's the script a friend of mine wrote to poll Kasa smart plugs for energy usage. from influxdb import InfluxDBClient import schedule import time import json import random from datetime import datetime import asyncio from kasa import SmartPlug

Remember that post I did a while back where I used node-red with statping to make Homer look a little nice? Nah? Don't blame ya. Anyway, turns out I had no other use for node-red, so I decided to get rid of that and

While I'm a huge fan of shenanigans and silly hijinks, there are some things in life production that should be just plain boring. Solid functionality that just works. Yeah? Well pfSense 2.4.5p1 does that. The issue is the drama that recently occured.

Ansibles great. We like Ansible up in here. Managing all my linux vms with it is super simple. Windows though.........well I don't know. I haven't got that far yet. What I have managed to do though, is figure out a way to bootstrap

TL;DR Add Install.wim file WDS ServerAdd Boot.wim file to WDS ServerIn the Drivers section add driver group and name it "Network Drivers"(don't add any drivers. Or name it whatever you want, I'm not your supervisor. Just make sure to change

I have a few services the I run internally, and most of them are using nice sub-domains for easy access. Who wants to remember which ip address you assigned to which service? Or even worse, which port. This is compounded when you use docker

What we doing fam?So, you have a nice Active Directory set up to which a bunch of your internal services bind to. While you've been going through all these binds, you see options asking which port and whether or not you want security.

AGAIN: NOT A GUIDE, BUT MAY BE HELPFULL TO......SOMEONE.....MAYBE. I left this portion out from my docker/portainer to kubernetes/rancher post because it seemed (and still does) more complicated and warranted its own post. The reading time will probably be lengthy

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A GUIDE. THIS IS MY LONG WINDED JOURNEY. THERE ARE HOWEVER LINKS TO THE GUIDES I USED. As you may have guessed, this site is using ghost as the cms for all my amazing words. It's nice(ish) and all,

If you're me, then you/I would have thought you/I were a right jammy genius setting up a code-server that also had ansible installed in there. You could edit your playbooks, make easy modifications and all the other fancy goodness that came from

Set up a virtual ip under Firewall → Virtual IP's. Create a wild card server cert for your domain. Needs IP Alias, an address with /32 as we only need a single IP address in this case Services → HAProxy (assuming it's been installed) Create a

Purpose of this post To show off and explain my current set up. I don't get to talk about my home lab much. Considerations There are a few things that dictate what goes into my set up, and what I am comfortable using in

Note: DO NOT FOLLOW THIS AS A GUIDE. THIS IS LITERALLY ME FIGURING THINGS OUT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Anyways. IntroI have a fully functioning Docker VM that I run quite a few services on. It works perfectly and has given me no grief.
