  • Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system?

  • Lucky you.

    Yep, I'd seen some other videos of his, he does seem genuinely interested in passing on his knowledge

  • Ok, good point on not writing from scratch - which is what I had been doing for the first few... whixh is rewarding to learn how it works, but it is slow.

    Thanks

  • Hmm, that's not a bad shout actually...

    I can fire up VMs to replicate the real system and maybe (depending on space) keep them as a testbed for future mods.

    Thanks, good idea.

  • How do you document your Homelab?

    Jump

  • A combination of Logseq (what, why, how) and KeePass for IPs and passwords (obviously)... I use the heirarchy in Keepass to show a device and then the services on it and then their configs, ie

    • Hypervisor1
      • VM1
        • root user details
        • that webUI details
      • VM2 (Etc)

    I used to do Visio drawings, but they were always out of date.

  • It's just another calendar...

    So, we have:

    • Me
    • Them
    • Us
    • House Stuff (ie bin day reminders)
      • I use this for Home Assistant
    • Birthdays
      • I don't recall at the moment, but an app used this for contact's birthdays...

    I then setup DavX to sync to Me and Us on my phone and Them and Us on their phone.

    In Fossify Calendar it's really easy to show /hide separate calendars as well as selecting the correct calendar when adding / editing events.

  • Definitely Radicale

    We have separate calendars (ie we individually sync between our phones and other devices) plus joint calendars that we also sync...

    On Android I use davx to sync and Fossify Calendar which allows me to see multiple calendars but only sounds reminders for my personal & joint appointments, not others.

    On my laptops I'm currently usong Vivaldi's built-in calendar and that's working well for me.

  • 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?

    Jump

  • Ah, ok if Tom Lawrence has made a video then I know it'll work!

    Thanks

  • 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?

    Jump

  • Just a friendly reminder that RAID is not a backup...

    Just consider if something accidentally overwrites some / all your files. This is a perfectly legit action and the checksums will happily match that new data, but your file(s) are gone...

    Jump

  • This is exactly what I'm about to do (later this week when I visit their house)

    I've been using syncthing for years, but any tips for the encryption?

    I was going to use SendOnly at my end to ensure that the data at the other end is an exact mirror, but in that case, how would the restore work if it's all encrypted?

  • Self Hosted Network Analyzer?

    Jump

  • It varies of course, but most of my torrents are movies and linux ISOs (for real)

    I seed any Movies I leech at a 2:1 ratio... most are leeched from Europe, but I've had them from Canada, South America, Asia, but weirdly not many from North America.

    I like to give back more to the Linux community, so I'm constantly seeding Arch & Mint ISOs (as that's just what I'm using... maybe something Raspberry-ish) - they go everywhere.

    I had a weird instance once where the same Chinese IP address was constantly re-downloading the same ISO. Could've been a VPN endpoint, but after I'd shared something like 40:1 there, I started using GeoIP to block it and similar regions I was uncomfortable with... so the world's becoming smaller for me.

    Jump

  • So, I'm a little behind the times here... should I be moving away from torrent search sites to this new fangled spot stuff?

  • Self Hosted Network Analyzer?

    Jump

  • +1 for this.

    You need to see all the data flowing through a sensor to be able to map it, so a router / firewall is often the central point.

    I run it as an addon for pfSense and it'll show me all sorts of info.

    If you setup the GeoIP you can see which countries your network's connecting too... interesting for torrents...

  • CrowdSec vs Fail2Ban - What to use?

    Jump

  • Crowdsec will block external, public, IPs

    Fail2Ban will block login attempts (ie from anywhere)

    I have a similar setup with pfSense, pfBlockerNG, HAProxy, etc, but I keep F2B running on my DMZ server in case something is ever compromised as it'll block / slow down anyone trying to move around the network.

  • Depends on the variety of course... my Willows need cutting down, whereas the acorns I planted before the willows are still tiny oaks in pots 🙂

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • Ahh, I see what you mean. Being asked to pay twice isn't nice...

  • But would you / do you voluntarily donate to Jellyfin's development?

    I get it, it is (& a lot of things are) free... but at some point the developers need to recoup something...

    Otherwise Jellyfin's development will eventually dry up as raw enthusiasm runs out.

  • Can I (figuratively speaking) just change the destination in my backup scripts and start writing to Hetzner... or are they using a completely different setup?
