Cluster Rebuild Status :ablobcatbongokeyboard:

Completed:
* Talos cluster, with almost sane configs
* Cilium with BGP LB, ingress, hubble, gateway-api
* frr bgp-ospf bridge
* external-dns
* cert-manager w/ dns challenge
* cloudnative-pg operator
* nfs-subdir storage
* keycloak operator
* keycloak realm/client management via terraform (because the operator is lacking tbh)
* Keycloak ream with google auth (only for existing users) and webauthn/passkey login options
* Forgejo

Upcoming:
* Organize and move repo into Forgejo
* ArgoCD
* Pull infra into argo
* Configure renovate against forgejo
* Configure a pile of missing smtp configs
* Forgejo GPG signing
* Fix Cilium shared ingress
* migrates local-only apps to new cluster

Unanswered questions:
* CI Runners in Forgejo? Use alternative CI engine?
* Secret management? May skip it -- may not be worth it given the smaller number of secrets
* Storage migration? Ceph/Rook

@badnetmask@hachyderm.io oh I was wondering ho the whisper stt performance was, are you using HA plugins or running those in containers as well?

idk if I had a bad config but I had terrible response times before I ran that on the GPU, also the docs were..... not great

I have not looked at any conversation agents.

@badnetmask@hachyderm.io you're running the HA stack on the rpi4? How are your stt times/what stt model are you using?

:neocat_think_owo:💭: add hal-mode to home assistant voice assist where it just responds to everything with an angry red ring and "I'm afraid I can't let you do that"

#homeassistant

@badnetmask@hachyderm.io so I found this article

while quite exellent they makes some assumptions that don't match my setup and have a different strategy for applications

also the talos provider doesn't really do upgrades cleanly at all leading to a bit of a mess

New Cluster:

* Talos cluster with 3 controlplane, 2 worker nodes
* Cilium installed
* frr bgp -> ospf daemonset
* talos workers show in core switch ospf neigbhors

biggest thing to figure out is how to bootstrap bitwarden (vaultwarden) then forgejo #HomeLab #Kubernetes

Hmmm. Somehow DNS is hosed.

Once that gets solved I guess the real question is if I charge ahead, or do I take what I learned and rebuild with terraform?

Ok one dead AFCI outlet latet I have fixed my basement circuit :neocat_dizzy:

Lunch time then back to server nonsense (replacing HBA and NIC in an effort to cut power usage)

Ok maybe I won't tempt fate and just play video games instead then pack for the hike(s)

Forecast is for a wind-chill of almost -30C

If I do build up a new cluster I should probably replace gitlab with forget

Looks like forgjo has a container registry and CI tooling now? What would I be missing other than a wiki that I could convert to something else and gitlab pages that I don't use? #HomeLab #Forgejo

@quad0@catcatnya.com

@badnetmask@hachyderm.io I'm interested in the the options are too

I have an airthings wave+ but it wasn't super cheap and is BT (but a simple esp32 acts as a hub for that), I got it because I also wanted the radon tracker

@njion@bark.lgbt the worst thing is about arcane is that someone might watch it then try league of legends

The Process

1. Wait for laundry to pile up
2. Do the laundry
3. When really out of clean clothing go pick up laundry off racks in basket
4. Pick clean clothing out of basket as needed for a few days
5. Dump basket on bed "I'll put this away proper at bedtime"
6. Bedtime. Dump it on the floor. Now there is a "clean pile"
7. Do another load
8. Take off drying rack, deposit directly in growing pile. It is now so big that it is harder to sort properly.

@Rasp@raru.re oooh! What are you using for the sensors?

@Rasp@raru.re for server boot drives my go-to are now Intel enterprise SSDs, they can be found at fantastic prices, and often have very little wear

@Rasp@raru.re yeah used sas drives are a fantastic way to populate/build a NAS, I have done the same, actually just ordered some drives for an upgrade

I use this script: https://github.com/Spearfoot/disk-burnin-and-testing to do a test of them which takes a bit but it is nice for piece of mind

@Rasp@raru.re yup yup! (Kinda neat, nerding time, the difference between sas and sata is only a little downward connection in the sata connector side, so sata data connections are a little L

Which means you can plug a sata drive into a sas port, and it works minus some more advanced drive features, but it doesn't work the other way around)

@Rasp@raru.re Yup they show up as: Mini SAS SFF-8087 Host to 4 SFF-8482 SAS, with the wide plugs that add sata power to the connection
