Wall-mount rack
- Home lab · rack · 2021-11-27 · Daniel
Since I bought my Cisco equipment, I have had it racked in the cheap, two-post desktop rack that came with the equipment when I bought it. It was pretty bad, but it worked:
I really wanted something better than this, so I started doing some web searches to get ideas …Continue reading

healthchecks.io
- Networking · monitoring · 2021-11-15 · Daniel
Recently, a friend introduced me to healthchecks.io, a service for monitoring cron jobs.
A week or so ago, I configured several of my cron jobs to be monitored through this system, and it has already helped me: yesterday I received a notification that an rsync job did not run …Continue reading

Printer update
- General · docker printer scanner raspberry pi · 2021-11-09 · Daniel
Here's a months-overdue update on that HP Envy printer: I wasn't able to return the printer, and I still wanted a better scanner app than the HP's built-in one, so I decided to take the Raspberry Pi 4 that I mentioned in an earlier post and attach the printer directly …Continue reading

Update on migration to Docker/Traefik
- Website · traefik docker · 2021-11-05 · Daniel
I have been working hard these last many weeks in order to move all services off of my main DigitalOcean Droplet/VM. In the process, I have been moving everything to Docker, with full automation via Ansible. I have finally achieved this goal, for the web services anyway, and now …Continue reading

MinFS
- Website · minfs · 2021-10-28 · Daniel
Over the last month, I have been continuing my work at automating my systems and have made a lot of progress in that effort.
Part of that will be relocating some files that I still want web-accessible, but not on this website. Enter DigitalOcean Spaces, and MinFS to access it …Continue reading

acme.sh and Let's Encrypt certificates
- Website · encryption letsencrypt ssl · 2021-10-18 · Daniel
I have been needing to cut over to acme v2 for a long time, and I didn't bother doing it until way too late -- this weekend. As a result of my tardiness, my iPhone has not been able to receive email from my mail server for more than a month …Continue reading

Blog automation
- Website · docker ansible · 2021-09-26 · Daniel
This is a short post after a lot of work.
I have been busy these last few weeks automating the installation of Docker, Traefik, and my Atari blog with Ansible. I have reached the point that I can take a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and end up …Continue reading

Docker build
- General · docker raspberry pi scanner · 2021-09-07 · Daniel
I have been having a rough couple months with printers: My Samsung C410w is getting old, so I wanted to replace it. My wife recently heard about HP Instant Ink, so she wanted to try that service, but I decided to buy a monochrome Brother printer -- which was great except …Continue reading

Traefik
- Website · traefik docker · 2021-08-12 · Daniel
Lately I have been learning about Docker, and I want to convert my current setup to Docker, where it makes sense to do that. I currently run about 20 vhosts on this Digital Ocean droplet, and at least one of those has a MySQL back end. I also run Postfix …Continue reading

June 2021 update
- Networking · vmware atari raspberry pi esxi ubiquiti · 2021-06-14 · Daniel
I've been busy over the last few weeks, so there will be several updates in here.
Over the weekend I updated my Ubiquiti switches, which required that I shut down my ESXi servers. The R610 came back just fine, but the raspi4 ARM one did not. The problem on the …Continue reading
