At home, nagios, at work colleagues. (I finally escaped the admin rat race)

I have a Squeezebox Classic, so I started with Logitech Media Server. It’snnow slimserver (open source), so I use that. However, it’s pretty end of live, so I’m lookingbfora replacement as well for my player. (Love the device)

Sorry, totally forgot apparmor. On debian that thing can be nasty, I had to fix those rules as well for bind That was years ago and was added to my Puppet module, so I forgot.

Then those disks should have been wiped at the company before they were allowed to leave the building.

In defence, the power prizing here is a tad different, €0.45/KWh was the prize here. Also, when those disks are given away, they are usually smaller then the current standard and less efficient. On the other hand, those enterprise grade disks generate some heat, saving on the heating bill.

Sell them and buy low budget low power consumption disks that would fit my purpose.

Enterprise-grade usually has enterprise-grade power consumption. From the power saving alone you can buy nice stuff.

Second that. I’m glad RPis are finally supported.

You need to include the files in the zone file. Bind 9.18.18 is a mess with the changed DNSSEC setup, it broke my domains as well. I’t isn the bind documentation, so I have to refer you there. I have no access to my setup now (or my browser history) as I’m not at my computer.

Edit: managed to get in dns.

named.conf.local: zonefile needa to be the .signed file the unsigned zone file must have both keys included, best is via absolute path:

$INCLUDE "/etc/bind/keys/example.com.123456.key"

for both the ZSK and KSK keys. The include is to get the RRSIG entries.

I’ve setup my email via a VPN to my own server.

• DNS, mail, business web, cusromer web on VPSes (2, 1 primary, 1 secondary DNS only)
• Personal email, incoming and outgoing via VPS, personal websites (all static) on local system (RPi 4 8GB)

This gives the advantage that your outgoing email always comes from the VPS ip address (pick a VPS provider that is trusted) and when your line is down, incoming email is cached on your VPS. It’s a tad of double work, but pretty secure. Even connecting to my employer to work from home is not a big issue. (and that connection is limited to it’s own vlan)

Also, with this method, you can route the mail into your network via port 26 when 25 is blocked or even set an outgoing vpn to your VPS and route the email that way. You’ll be provider independent at home. (I even have a private ipv6 /48 via a tunnel broker)

You’ll need to work a lot on your knowledge though, without DNSSEC, SPF, DKIM and DMARC the big 2 (Google and hotmail) will refuse your email.

I’m running domoticz with an rflink interface for my rf433 devices. No clue if they support ESPHome, but you can check. It runs confined to my network.

I bought a fun domain in '98, used it for email only. Next to that I bought a domain with just my surname. I have several sites in that domain, for my personal stuff, one for the pets, our wedding,… It’s a lot more flexible then using the complete name. (But you have to be lucky enough to catch it)

Next to these 2 I have 2 others in my countries tld for messing about with. Those are a lot cheaper and my company has 3 more domains. The total set costs me €90 a year.

It was even easier. I’m over on forgejo, works.

Sure, but then I’d have to remove gogs 1st after exporting everything. It’s not a lot of data, but loads of repos. For me there was no reason to migrate (yet).

I picked gogs before I knew about the gitea fork. (Maybe even before the fork)

Maybe, depends on the migration path. Gitea proved impossible to migrate to.

I’ve been using gogs since I had my RPi2. It’s not fancy, it just works. Gitea is a fork of it, as there are others, but I never really put time in a conversion, as gogs just works. I don’t do more then synching repos over ssh and an occasional repo creation via the web interface. It’s a 1 user setup.

Edit: just spend a bit of spare time to install forgejo to figure out what I need to do to move the repos I have (~200) over. All that was needed was to create all repos manually and then rsync the content from the direcory with the gogs repos to the forgejo repo storage. I went ftom gogs 0.12 to forgejo 1.20.5 in a tad over 2h.

Isn’t this a spin-off of gogs?

I still need to convert.

I have data I don’t want to miss on mirrored WD red drives. Oldest set is from '14, but are more in sleep mode then active. (Also 2TB drives, newest are 4 TB, I’m not even close to 20 TB)

I’m using calibre as server and moon+ reader (pro) as reader. I can download the ebooks from my calibre server and with the pro version of moin+ reader I can sync reading positions (and books) between devices. This way I can continue reading on the phone where I was on the tablet while traveling.

Interesting to know. As of which version? RPi 4? I have to admit, I never tried it.
