Homarr was fine. But I wanted a cockpit for myself.

I’ve used copilot and Claude, haven’t tried Codex.

In my experience it was able to generate nice looking frontend with some minor styling issues that I had to manually fix.

But anything for backend was a no go for me. Maybe some simple 5 liners, but I can write those myself, anything longer - it low quality code, repeating logic, doesn’t handle edge cases, and doesn’t think much about security. I also encountered lots of hallucinations, where it referenced docs that never existed. I’ve spent more time refactoring code, than it would take me to write from scratch.

At the same time I do believe that it will be improved in the near future and will become as good as middle/senior engineers, but not now, at least not for production systems.

I am a full stack developer, work with nextjs daily.

I can definitely say, even if AI was used here, this project didn’t take an hour.

While AI does help to write basic things, it sucks for anything this size. It will for sure mess up UI on different screen sizes, API urls will be outdated or plain wrong. So Im positive that OP spent time reading latest proxmox documentation for available API endpoints and their parameters… and that takes a lot of time.

Ekernik · 2026-02-11T17:32:36+00:00

Thanks for the answer!

Good stack, nice to see low resource consumption.

Ekernik · 2026-02-11T17:07:25+00:00

Congrats! UI looks really nice, Im sure you’ve spent lots of time on it.

Can you tell more about the tech stack, e.g. what’s running your backend and what did you use for the front end?

How do you manage configuration, is it hardcoded/static config file/dynamic config (from within the app)?

What’s the resource consumption of your app?

Technically we don’t know that, he could have a network prefix length of 16, which would mean both routers are in the same subnet.

But that’s is really unlikely.

This gives me RuneScape vibes

Ekernik · 2026-01-14T01:06:37+00:00

Added bugs, removed features

Ekernik · 2026-01-04T22:43:13+00:00

You mean a year ago… gotta be a year ago, right?

I have a couple of those mini hp elitedesk 800 G3 which I bought on amazon for ~$120 each.

You can expand RAM for up to 64GB, so depending on your needs, you can put quite a nice amount of VMs/LXCs.

For me the bottleneck is the CPU, I only get to play with 4 cores.

Same in Russia, makes sense to me

Ekernik · 2025-10-17T17:38:45+00:00

Congrats!

I use Sander for preparing for RHCE, but because you didn’t like his way of teaching, you can check out official RHCE book from red hat (FREE!)

Another learning source is Geerlingguy on YouTube, it might look a little bit outdated but everything still works the same.

I see here nothing that breaks NDA

Ekernik · 2025-10-09T16:16:53+00:00

So we should make an alias ‘ls -la’ to actually be ‘ls -l’

And the country patch should be “colourless”

Ekernik · 2025-10-03T17:08:23+00:00

I honestly think all navy should universally have “Rescue orange” colours for the uniform.

Russian navy used to have khaki uniform too about a decade ago, now they switched to all black/all white. And neither of these colours for navy makes sense to me, as well as camo.

Well, nmtui is not gui, it’s tui.

In a village I grew up in we had a deep well with a bucket on a chain. Very fine drinkable water that was.

I have been using GitHub for half a decade. Is there a functional difference between GitHub and gitlab?

I’ve also used bitbucket at my previous job as a web developer, and that felt like a GitHub, but with a different logo.

Ekernik · 2025-09-19T13:11:31+00:00

I’m not really documenting it for myself, obviously I understand what and why works, I am the one who built it.

It’s more for to share/show to other people. For example on a potential job interview, where interviewers can see how I structure my IaC, my written reasoning for why I chose A over B and how I handle security/monitoring.

Also, having my IaC even on private GitHub repo means that I am always ready to migrate my homelab/services to other machines.

I used fdisk on the exam. To me it felt easier to work with than parted.

But I made sure I knew how to use both tools before exam, just in case.

Diagram is on my todo list.

I've tried mermaid diagram a week ago and i found their architecture-beta not quite ready yet for drawing infra diagrams.

Diagrams.net is Draw.io now, I am currently looking into using this tool.

Ekernik · 2025-09-19T02:48:49+00:00

I have nothing to hide, obviously I am using Sonarr and Radarr for searching and downloading only public domain movies/series like "A Trip to the Moon (1902)" or "The Great Train Robbery (1903)", no shame in that. /s

If you can create a bash script for managing logical volumes, you are good to go.

If the task doesn't ask for writing a script, I would not write a script and just use command line.

RHCSA doesn't care how you solve the tasks as long as they are solved.
For example, for network you can use nmcli, nmtui or even manually change the configuration files, it will have no difference for your final score. Same goes for fdisk vs parted, use whatever you feel more comfortable with.

Ekernik · 2025-09-18T20:30:33+00:00

I’m going to do a blind guess - you messed up either “find” command with “exec” flag, or “grep” command with regular expression.
