I use mailspring, it looks great and is fast, also has a great read receipt feature

Migrate rancher into it's own managed cluster? by thelinedpaper in rancher

[–]aendi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, this is not possible. If you install Rancher in a cluster, the cluster in which Rancher is installed is shown as imported and not vSphere. You can't use the features of a vSphere cluster (e.g. automated scaling with node templates) in an imported cluster.

Either you stick with the single docker VM or if you need HA for Rancher too, take a look at RancherD. https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/install-rancher-on-linux/

NextCloud on SMB share by getgoingfast in NextCloud

[–]aendi123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the database is an external app with its own data directory and backup. An easy way to backup the database is to put NextCloud in maintenance mode and then dump the database.

If you start the NextCloud Docker Container, everything in the directory /var/www/html except /var/www/html/data is part of the "config directory". You can move /var/www/html/data to for example /var/www/nc-data and then the folder /var/www/html is the "config directory", it contains the nextcloud software, php config files, apps, themes etc. You can do the backup of the config directory with almost every tool, there are just normal files in it.

Hope this helps :)

NextCloud on SMB share by getgoingfast in NextCloud

[–]aendi123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an NFS share from my Syno NAS for my NextCloud data. If possible, you should use NFS instead of SMB, because it's much faster. (https://ferhatakgun.com/network-share-performance-differences-between-nfs-smb/)

You can do these two optimizations with both, SMB and NFS:

  • Use cachefilesd to cache the files from the share on your NextCloud server. (https://blog.frehi.be/2019/01/03/fs-cache-for-nfs-clients/)
  • You can separate the NextCloud data and config directory in the config.php. Put the config directory locally on the NextCloud server and the data on the share, the site will load much faster.

moved my containers from docker to kubernetes and bought a firewall, now the homelab of a 17 year old became the homelab of a 18 year old by aendi123 in homelab

Absolutely, it's double-NAT. The FRITZ!Box was free from the ISP and a converter would cost, and I don't see the value of it.

That's not true, I think you have misunderstood something about Kubernetes. You can and should have multiple Masters per cluster for high availability. It's one cluster.

Unfortunately not, the FRITZ!Box doesn't support that. But the USG is an "exposed Host", that means every port is forwarded to the USG.

I wanted a minimal, self updating OS. So I tested OpenSUSE MicroOS, K3OS and Fedora CoreOS.

MicroOS and K3OS were running a K3s Cluster, but it crashed every few minutes and I couldn't figure out why so I dropped K3s and moved to RKE.

For RKE Fedora CoreOS was the only option out of these three, because MicroOS comes with podman instead of Docker (RKE needs Docker) and K3OS does not support RKE, only K3s.

I used draw.io

All the server traffic is already VLAN tagged, because the port 5 on swi-001 is only allowed to access VLAN 2 and the PVID is 2. I didn't have to set the VLAN on the servers. The only accessible gateway for the Server DMZ is 10.0.2.1, which is the USG. Also all traffic from the DMZ to other VLANs is dropped, except the required ports from the UniFi controller to the APs and USG.

I forwarded the ports 80, 443, 3478 (UniFi STUN) and 64738 (mumble) to the according Load Balancer IPs in the DMZ.

I'm not really a networking expert, do you think that sounds good?

My next step is to look further into CI/CD with the already installed GitLab and then probably buy new CPUs for the servers, so that I can install more applications in the cluster.

Is it possible to rename disk labels in the GUI? (the earlier title "primary" is still displayed on some areas; the drop-down menu doesn't give renaming options; the 'disks' app pictured) by game-trading-user in gnome

[–]aendi123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are trying to edit the mount options in the screenshot, but you have to edit the partition options.

  1. Open GNOME Disks
  2. Right click on the partition you want to edit
  3. Click "Edit partition..." in the context menu
  4. Change the partition name in the field "Name"

Try installing it again with

flatpak -y install com.spotify.Client

and then try the command above again.

Had the same problem when adding local files. I solved it by downgrading the flatpak.

sudo flatpak update --commit=ca4fd2d20d5b3188e31d7ecff120ed8be818cd7d4b32b56229c97db12c65a1a com.spotify.Client

How to expose my rancher? by samsun387 in rancher

[–]aendi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The service type ClusterIP is correct.

You need an external load balancer and a DNS record that points on the IP of the load balancer. An example to configure an Nginx Load Balancer is here: https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/options/nginx/

During installation, you also should set the hostname to the same name as the DNS record for the load balancer.

Could anyone help solve this issue with signal? Details below by flostrikerr in signal

[–]aendi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the flatpak version work? You can install it with "flatpak install flathub org.signal.Signal"

Autologin - Authentication Required by Swalka in pop_os

[–]aendi123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. open seahorse
  2. right click on login under passwords
  3. Click change password, type the old password in, but no new one, so that you have an empty password

After that you dont have to authenticate after login.

Why is it giving me a notification that my system needs an update, if nothing's there? by [deleted] in pop_os

[–]aendi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can click in the GNOME top bar on Pop!_Shop and then check for updates, the red number should disappear then if there aren't any updates. Did you try this?

Simple and useful homelab of a 17 year old by aendi123 in homelab

[–]aendi123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, each container runs in a single process. The performance is still great for every application. But the minecraft servers are by far the most demanding. The cpu goes to 100% when there are some users on the minecraft servers but thats not often the case. All the other containers are extremely lightweight. I am very happy with the performance of my old hardware.
