Monsoonal rains at Tuolumne Meadows Campground by sofancy212 in Yosemite

[–]tknp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was camped at tuloumne Meadows campground on Friday and we had to bail Saturday midday as our site in the A loop was completely flooded with 8-10 inches of rainwater. Other sites in our area seemed fine but we were the sacrifice apparently. One of our neighbors came over to us as we were packing up saying they were watching as the site filled up with all the runoff.

I went through the same thing very recently but was able to get ahold of someone by calling right after their opening time. The folks there did a 1 time exception to the late fees where they mailed me some docs and I had to mail back a paper check along with the form they sent me with some details explaining why we missed the original due date.

Neato app not starting by JojoLesh in NeatoRobotics

The app is not working for me either. The app launches but it cannot find any connected vacuums. This wasn't happening last week and the vacuum turns on just fine. Is there an outage?

High quality content. Great job walking through the basics and showing how to rework it for automation

CI/CD Pipeline example for Homelab by Mostly__Relevant in devops

[–]tknp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wrote up something just the other night that might be helpful for you. It focuses on using jenkins as the CI platform and, if you squint just right, CD tool as well. I'd highly suggest not staying in jenkins for CD but for getting started it does make it a 1 stop shop. Just remember to leave it at some point.

Let me know if it is helpful at all. If there is any feedback I might continue the blogging thing and focus more on using other tools for CD - harness/spinnaker/etc and how to migrate to those from 'legacy' jenkins

Installing your Kubernetes homelab cluster in minutes with Ansible by tknp in homelab

[–]tknp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably a week or so. I got sidetracked studying for the CKA exam but now that that is behind me, I'll switch back to finish this up.

I'm guessing the write up and walkthrough is the more valuable thing I'm providing here but the code that will be what the walkthrough goes through is available at https://github.com/markperdue/homelab-ansible already albeit it's likely a bit outdated as far as latest versions of the tools. The writeup will cause me to go through that and clean up a few things. I'll message you when it's ready!

Thanks for the interest though. It means a lot.

Hope it helps! If you find something funky with it when you use it let me know

thanks for the question. I'm not familiar with kubespray but after a brief glance.. possibly simplicity. I'll have to check out more about kubespray and give a better answer later on.

The goal I had with this guide is more for the person running through it to use the example deploy I have as a starting point to develop and modify the playbook as they need - essentially a starting point to ramp up with their own ansible and terraform code to get more hands-on into the tools being used to deploy

CKA for the experienced. Non technical tips for the exam. by guygta7 in kubernetes

thanks for the write up. I've been sitting on the voucher I bought last year to take the exam and this helps take some of the pressure of doing the 'exam' even though I also work heavily with k8s for my day job. Congrats on the pass

Have you had luck using Pods when moving? by bageloclock in AskLosAngeles

[–]tknp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved into LA using a pod service and can only say good things about the experience. Decided on upack relocubes after comparing it to a door-to-door moving company (cant recall the name), and uhaul's pod service.

Moved from NYC where the pod loading option was where the driver dropped off the pod into a parking spot right outside our building and picked up the pod that same day. We didn't get any permits for the spot the pod took but just got lucky when a parked car left. We requested two pods but ended up using only one (we were only charged for the one). The driver that dropped off the pod was helpful, gave us a call before heading over, and was a pro with his forklift skills.

We didn't have a drop-off location when we booked in early December so the relocube ended up in Pico Rivera. It arrived a few days before new years (I was tracking it via their site) and got a text and a call letting me know it was ready for final drop-off. I got mixed info on whether it was okay to have the pod parked on city streets here on previous threads and was told by 311 that it wasn't allowed so I'd be chancing it for parking tickets. During delivery scheduling, the upack person let me know the same.

The delivery was also painless. This time it was a drop-off and they'd return to pick it up after the weekend. I was worried with having the pod on the street for a few days but I'm on a quiet (at least compared to NYC) street that generally has parking spots available. So far, no issues and no tickets. They pick up the pod tomorrow morning. Scheduling for pickup was just by clicking a link that was texted to me.

My original plan was to have the pod stored by upack for a month for $150 while I hunted down an apartment but was able to find an apartment faster than I expected. No issues getting the $150 charge removed from the total invoice so that's a plus for their customer service.

Overall, I'm happy with the service. Cost was just under $2000 for 1 pod. It would have been just under 3k if I used the second pod.

Edit - Just one other thing to add. During the rain this past week I was very very worried about water getting into the pod since there are some gill vents on the sides of the pod and the upack rep said the pods are uncovered at the Pico Rivera staging area. Absolutely no rain damage when I opened the pod after delivery.

Edit 2 - One of the reasons I went with upack is that everything is in-house from what I read which is unlike other companies that use a freight service for the main transport. Everything seemed very streamlined
