Implemented #Pangolin and liking what I see so far. Will gradually migrate services over from HAproxy to Pangolin, so I can get rid of my port-forwarding punctured firewall.

Although technically not needed, but bought the "limited supporter" key for 25 USD to support the program.

Testlabor aktiviert!

Hier entsteht gerade mein GoToSocial-Playground. Während drüben bei @matthias das "echte Leben" stattfindet, wird hier experimentiert, getestet und vielleicht auch mal was kaputt gemacht.

Bin neugierig wie sich GTS im Vergleich zu Mastodon schlägt!

And another Server migrated over from Hetzner to @netcup . Again, absolutely flawless and working great :-)

Services now migrated to Netcup:
- Uptime-Kuma
- BIND (secondary authoritative DNS for my zones)
- Forgejo (Git forge)
- Personal Website
- Librespeed (Speed-Test Node)
- Bsky PDS (Personal-Data-Server for BlueSky)
- Atuin (Shell-History Sync server)
- Anubis (Anti AI Crawler protection)
- Authentik (SAML/OIDC SSO Server)
- Wallos (Subscription tracker)
- stepCA (x.509 PKI CA)

Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (aarch64) with Podman and behind a traefik reverse-proxy. All containers managed via Systemd and quadlet files (/etc/containers/systemd/*.container)

Services remaining on Hetzner:
- OpenShift lab
- Mastodon burningboard.net
- Ansible RHCE Lab/Learn environment
- freeIPA/IdM Server and Red Hat Satellite

Step by step getting my (vast) infrastructure sorted and onto energy-efficient ARM servers at Netcup :)

Hallo ich bin #neuhier und melde mich, weil etwas teilen möchte.

Als alter ITler möchte ich ein Skript teilen, dass dem (Home-)Admin das Leben erleichert, wenn wieder mal ein "curl" oder "wget" bei der Verifizierung eines Zertifikats (#SSL / #TLS) scheitert.
Das kommt nicht so oft vor, deswegen hatte ich immer vergessen was zu tun ist, wenn es mal wieder so weit war.

Das Script prüft welche Zertifikate fehlen, lädt sie herunter, so dass man sie ggf. in die Liste der CAs (certification authorities) aufnehmen kann. Wie das geht, steht in meiner dazugehörigen Doku.

Vielleicht einfach mal sehen, ob ihr es brauchen könnt.

Natürlich #opensource, beschrieben auf https://github.com/himbeer-toni/UserScripts/blob/main/fetch-missing-ca.md, da wäre dann auch ein Downloadlink.

Würde mich freuen, wenn es jemandem hilft!

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot from trial, error, and a few coffee-fueled rabbit holes while setting up all my self-hosted services.

Now I’m wondering… would anyone be interested if I started sharing tutorials?

Could be:
Blog posts
Video walk-throughs
Docker setups
Reverse proxy tricks, identity management, and more

Everything from “click here” beginner guides to advanced stuff like SSO with Authentik or federated Matrix!

Let me know what you’d like to see — and if there’s enough interest, I’ll start posting!

Ever since I hung the Ruckus on the wall, all peripheral coverage issues disappeared. At that point, I decided to try re-hanging the old MikroTik cAP AC (with the wave2 drivers) in the same spot to compare.
All in all, it performs well there too, and all devices remain stably connected, albeit with a lower signal level. I imagine, however, that if there were 40 devices, I'd already see some differences.

Now I'm curious to test a cAP AX...

Hey #homelab crew! I know you guys are into cameras too. What's the rec's for.. I guess wifi cameras ( I'm in a rental and putting holes everywhere probably won't work). I'm primarily looking for outside coverage which I mean gets tricky cause of power.. Anyways, I'm starting my journey! Show me the yellow brick road!

My home internet is down for the night, which is incredibly rare, but has allowed me to test out some of my #homelab/smart home stuffs in the absence of internet.

Anyway, #Jellyfin loads fine if I’m connecting to it using its local IP address. Playback through the web interface seems fine when starting the video, but immediately after it’d just.. freeze.

Seemingly all my media files act like this (all of which coming from my NAS). Any clue why?

Update: ok yea, nah, it works. that’s so freaking cool lmao.

No. I did not spend 1 hour of my day tweaking renovate.json.
