It's a slippery slope lol. Get cameras then ya want Access 😂

Nice! Welcome to the Unifi club. With your bandwidth have you looked at the campus switches?

Jealous! I've been looking into getting an EFG lol.

After giving up on my conversion to #kubernetes, for now. I will say my new cluster config using Cephfs + Docker swarm, on Debian 13, has been rock solid.

Debating if I want to add a fourth node though. 🤔

Adding military conflict to my disaster recovery plans was not on my 2026 work bingo card.

inb4 #AWS invests in anti missile/drone defenses for data centers. smh.

Woke up this morning to down alerts for our stack deployed in the UAE via AWS.

Couldn't think of a good reason as to why it potentially went dark.

Also hit a roadblock... Need the next update of #rustfs. Which should hopefully be including the ability to read docker secrets from files. Trying to keep private stuff out of env.

w/o an s3 backend I can't redeploy my #forgejo, or outline instances. I may just have to spin up minio again :/

The fact that this has to exists to fix an extremely annoying 'feature' of Docker Swarm. github.com/newsnowlabs/... ty Struan for making it ❤️

Its crazy #docker swarm still relies on SNAT masquerade. Let me have my remote client IPs pls.

Also this happened to me again on an arm instance... This time though I can't seem to recover it....

Good thing its just my small instance in our dev account. So if I end up having to blow it away I can just remount my data volume to a new instance.

I'll probably end up doing a cluster v3? post on the blog soon-ish. Would be after I get the post done about #Tracearr though. :)

I also deployed #Dockhand to manage the remote host that's running game servers. Its cool, but sucks that RBAC is locked behind the enterprise paywall. So all my friends that have access are just full admins. lol.

It also currently does not support swarm mode :(

I was originally looking at deploying #k3s + Rook/CephFS (also looked at OpenEBS) but decided against it for simplicity sake. That and I thought I'd have the time to do it properly...

Slowly been rebuilding my #homelab cluster on the new #Debian 13 + #CephFS setup. Just got done deploying #Dozzle to the swarm cluster + remote agents on my @unraid.net box and another remote Docker host.

Decided this time around I'd make only 2 of the 3 nodes swarm managers.

Nothing like waking up to Teams showing +50 unread.

Early morning RCAs are fun. #DevOps

btw I recovered it using a second instance and chroot to regen the initramfs file.

That was fun.

Cool but you have to use their infra. No self hosted option as far as we could tell. Which makes it a no unfortunately.

- @stoat.chat
Same as @rootapp.com but the boys didn't like the UI.

- Rocket chat
Lol slack clone.

- Mattermost
Nope.

- Matrix
It's having an identity crisis. Cool cause fediverse but not interested in dealing with the quirks.

- DCT
Possibly but the UI kinda looks tossed together and meh.

- Mumble
Good for voice. Not for instant chat.

- Spacebar
Cool. Fermi client leaves a lot to be desired.

So options we looked at:

- Teamspeak 6
It's ok. Basically TS3 but with a pretty skin now. Still have to be in a server connected to voice to use chats.

Also requires yearly payments for a community size of 50+.. which we will have after we combine servers.

Man I need to chill on the super late nights. I can't seem to handle it well anymore. I feel like crap. 😭

Though it was important. The boys and I were looking for a #Discord alternative. Eyeing @fluxer.app rn but waiting for that self hosted option. Hopefully with postgres support at some point!

@astro.build is so nice. Any website I build these days is done with Astro.+ Tailwind.

Gratz on the migration!

In other news our first #DevOps candidate accepted their offer!

Two more hockey games for the season!

Then it's back to normal for 2 weeks before the spring stuff starts 🤣

Making the first offer to a candidate this week!

The #DevOps team is growing 💪

This Friday will be the first time I'm the interviewer rather than the interviewee.

Hopefully it goes well 😅

Why you gotta call me out like that.
