Upgrading the single-node kubernetes cluster on rapture
went smoothly, so it's time to repeat the process on lexicon, especially
since the current version (1.26) will be
End Of Life next month!
The old UniFi Controller and its required Mongo DB have been a bit
of a hassle to keep updated while running directly on the host OS in
my little homelab server,
so the time has come to migrate this to the new
linuxserver.io/docker-unifi-network-application
on my little Kubernetes cluster
on my new Kubernetes cluster.
Warning
Beware of outdated documentation, most articles out there like Install Unifi Controller on Kubernetes, are based on the deprecated linuxserver/unifi-controller, while others like setting up the UniFi Network Controller using Docker are using jacobalberty/unifi-docker which was quite outdated until recently.
Navidrome is a self-hosted, open source music server and streamer. It gives you freedom to listen to your music collection from any browser or mobile device I heard about in the Linux Matters podcast.
I tried it on my little Kubernetes cluster and here are impressions so far.
Always follow Kubernetes setup step carefully!
Forwarding IPv4 and letting iptables see bridged traffic is not optional; even if it looks like it.
Skipping that crucial step that takes a few minutes eventually led to wasting over 3 hours troubleshooting a issue that, apparently, nobody has ever solved on the Internet before. Naturally, because nobody should ever need to.
Last month I took a look at checking deployments before upgrading kubeadm clusters and found results mostly reassuring.
As a practice run to upgrade more complex setups, lets upgrade the cluster running on the desktop PC, which is only running a Plex Media Server (which recently become unresponsive) and the PhotoPrism® photo album (which never worked well enough to be critical to me).
PhotoPrism® is an AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web I heard some good comments about. I tried it on my other Kubernetes cluster and here are impressions so far.
I've been meaning to upgrade Kubernetes ever since Kubernetes Certificate Expired about a year after setting up the Kubernetes cluster in lexicon.
Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User which sounds exactly like what I want, to keep track of where things go.
A big chunk of my time is spent at the computer, also during my downtime, and there is no clear separation between study, chores, entertainment, etc. Work happens at other computers, where time flies by sometimes at ridiculous speeds. I often find myself wondering where did my day/week go?
For some time I've been using a badly-cobbled-together solution with Bash scripts doing a few basic operations, all the time:
The results have been barely enough to keep track of where my weeks go, which has already been a relief; when someone (often me) asks "why so little progress on X?", I can check the spreadsheet and answer with numbers: because this week, out of 40 hours, ...
At home, however, the results have been very underwhelming. This is due to completely different behaviour patterns, which is where I hope ActivityWatch will help.
The young artist wanted to try Utau, which as of May 24 was on version v0.4.19のインストーラー修正版.
