update to day 11 of #100daysofhomelab, and I thought this needed its own dedicated post. I managed to fix my ZFS pool and got it imported into Ubuntu, so all is good, but I found these links and this is cool!

So…. running MacOS and Android inside Docker is pretty cool! Could be handy for building, well, build servers for developers that need MacOS. and the Android stuff is handy for dev/testing too. Very cool.

Day 11 of #100daysofhomelab and i am trying to fix my Plex Server… Seems when i moved from Fedora to Ubuntu, my ZFS pool did not import. I did not notice this, since mostly what is on it was temp files and logs… Well, the main drive is running out of space, so I checked the ZFS and it was failing because the version of OpenZFS I was running on Fedora (from master in their GitHub repo) is not compatible with the one on Ubuntu… (facepalm) So, have to rebuild and install OpenZFS from code… hopefully this works… [Edit… it did not work… ugh] [Edit 2: This did work though: Installing ZFS on Ubuntu (uptrace.dev) especially the part of building from code].

In other news, some links below.

Day 10 of #100daysofhomelab and its mostly updates and monitoring.

I think my next plan for the Kubernetes cluster is to rebuild the VMs and start from scratch. Currently, they ranged from 2-4 cores and 4-8Gb RAM. They also had a single disk on them and used an Ubuntu 22.04 cloud image. I think the plan going forward is to make sure each has similar RAM and Cores, none are going on the smaller VM Hosts I have, and I will be adding a new disk just for storage. Looks like Minio might work for me… More testing and reading are required though.

Well, day 9 of #100daysofhomelab is about Disaster Recovery… Well, at least the disaster part… Recovery not so much… My Kubernetes cluster, how do I put this… shat the bed… It’s been up and down all day and then the Longhorn storage failed and took my WordPress install with it… I lost yesterday’s post (which isn’t the end of the world) but it’s a pain in the ass… I ended up using the old docker copy of WordPress, so at least that’s online.

So, going to shut down the full cluster and start again… Might be looking at something other than Longhorn for storage… but giving up for the day… I will be back tomorrow.

Day 7 of #100daysofhomelab and just a quick update for today: this site is now running on my Kubernetes Cluster! I am using Cloudflare tunnels for the ingress controller (more on that later) and so far, so good… Most of this was done yesterday, and it was a swap over of the DNS stuff today… been sick most of the day, so that’s all I got in me for day 7…

Then after a few min, it comes back online…

Day 5 of #100daysofhomelab and its mostly reading… the daddy was in the hospital for the last 2 weeks, including over Christmas day, so tomorrow is Christmas day for us… Turkey, ham and all the usual stuff… So, been busy with that. But have been reading a couple of docs, so some links for today:

That’s about it for today… I’ll be back tomorrow… hopefully…

Day 4 of #100daysofhomelab and I am still reading the docs I posted yesterday on Kubernetes. I hope to get something sorted this weekend… On a different note, I posted a new YouTube video on the iODD ST400, linked below. This is a follow-up to my iODD Mini review I did a couple of years back. Hopefully, I will have a second video with some speed tests and a better walk in the next few days… hopefully.

Update: I think I am going to have to get my i7 with 6 2.5Gb Ethernet ports and one of the R720s up and running soon… I am running out of memory on my Proxmox cluster.

Day 3 of #100daysofhomelab and more Kubernetes messing today. Haven’t got it working, but messing with it is a start. Some links and notes are below:

I am planning on moving my WordPress install over from my Docker host to Kubernetes in the next few days, so running through the docks from Bharathiraja above, but I keep getting errors related to MySQL… More digging is required. I use Cloudflare Tunnels to secure my WordPress install, so the docs on how to use Cloudflare Tunnels with Kubernetes are important…
