Day 18 of #100daysofhomelab

Day 18 of #100daysofhomelab and today I moved my Unifi Protect cameras from my UDM Pro to my Cloud Key Gen 2. Why? The UDM Pro is still stuck on Unifi OS 2.4 (hopefully it will get 3 at some stage…). The Cloud Key Gen 2, however, does run 3.0. Some of the new Protect features are limited to Unifi OS 3.0, and I wanted to try them out. Also, my UCK has a 5Tb HDD in it, but my UDM only has 3, so I get more recording space from the UCK. So far, seems to be running well. Everything else is still on the UDM Pro. Only Protect has moved. More tomorrow.

Day 16 of #100daysofhomelab

day 16 of #100daysofhomelab, and my test from yesterday paid off!

droped from 10 to less than 4gb of RAM used on one of my proxmox boxes by moving the storage from local ZFS to NFS… Mind you, only seems to have made a difference on this box…

Day 16 of #100daysofhomelab

Day 16 of #100daysofhomelab and not much going on. Busy with work. I am running a test though. I seen the following tweet a few days back:

Given some of my smaller boxes are running 90%+ memory usage, i have decided to move the VMs from my NUC to my QNAP storage box. Its going to take a while to move them over, but we see what RAM usage is like after.

Day 14 of #100daysofhomelab

Day 14 of #100daysofhomelab and I have been thinking about future upgrades if I had the money… So, I have my CloudShed in the back garden. Currently, I only have an HP Micro Server and a (not currently in production) Dell R720, along with a Ubiquiti Edge Switch 48 Lite. Between the Shed and the house is a fibre link purchased through FS.com, with 6 pairs. Currently, only 1 pair is in use, giving me a 10Gb/s between the house and shed, and with the easy option to upgrade to 20Gb. But I have been thinking bigger.

day 13 of #100daysofhomelab

Day 13 of #100daysofhomelab and it’s mostly a rest and update day. I got my Plex Server back online, so ended up watching a load of stuff on that. Also, I upgraded my OpnSense box to OPNsense 23.1.beta. There are not many machines behind it, but I will keep my eye on it and see how things go. Hope to be back to some normality tomorrow.

day 11.5 of #100daysofhomelab

update to day 11 of #100daysofhomelab, and I thought this needed its own dedicated post. I managed to fix my ZFS pool and got it imported into Ubuntu, so all is good, but I found these links and this is cool!

So…. running MacOS and Android inside Docker is pretty cool! Could be handy for building, well, build servers for developers that need MacOS. and the Android stuff is handy for dev/testing too. Very cool.
