Docker Docker Consolidation Project, Part Nine Decommission PHOTOPRISM-01 Coming back to this today. https://photos.domain.local is loading correctly now. It shouldn't have been a DNS issue, nothing there was changing. Oh it must of been cached in my browser that way. Doh! That was a silly oversight yesterday.
Docker Docker Consolidation Project, Part Eight Test PhotoPrism Migration I'm finally able to come back to this Docker migration and I'm going to work on PhotoPrism's migration today. Steps performed on PHOTOPRISM-01 * sudo apt update * sudo apt upgrade * sudo docker-compose down * sudo docker-compose pull * sudo docker-compose up -d Now that
Firefly III Firefly III, Part Five Decommission Firefly III So after playing with this and Actual Budget the past few months I've come to understand that Firefly III is just not the right budgeting software for me. Their documentation does mention that it is not a "bucket budget" software, but I'
Tandoor Recipes Tandoor Recipes, Part Three After fixing the errors yesterday I think all I have left to do is configure the NGINX reverse proxy. Configure Reverse Proxy Steps taken from domain registrar * Add the A record: tandoor.domain.com > XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Steps performed on NGINX-01 * sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/proxy.conf
Docker Docker Consolidation Project, Part Six Build a Dedicated Docker Test Server So I've gotten a number of my containers successfully migrated over to DOCKER-01 so the last thing I wanted to work on for this was to make a test machine that I can use to play with new containers. Steps performed on
Docker Docker Consolidation Project, Part Five Migrate Authentik Security Migrate Authentik Security's Data Well my testing this morning was successful with Authentik and Bookstack so the data transfer was successful. I can move on to decommissioning. Decommission AUTHENTIK-01 Steps performed on AUTHENTIK-01 * sudo shutdown now Steps performed on HV-03 via Windows Admin Center * Navigate
Docker Docker Consolidation Project, Part Four Migrate Authentik Security So this will be an interesting one since I have foolishly not set up any backups for it yet. I did find some documentation for a backup. docker-compose run --rm worker backup Install Authentik Security on DOCKER-01 Steps performed on DOCKER-01 * sudo mkdir /apps/Authentik-Security After installing
Docker Docker Consolidation Project, Part Two I'm picking up from yesterday by starting to build a dedicated virtual machine for Docker. Create Dedicated Docker Application Server Steps taken on HV-03 via Windows Admin Center * I navigate to Virtual Machines * I click on Add then New * Name: DOCKER-01 * Generation: 2 Recommended) * Virtual Processors: 8 * Memory:
Actual Budget Actual Budget So Firefly III is nice, but I just can't figure out what exactly the budget system is trying to do. I can set it to automatically add an amount each month to a budget, but it doesn't always actually add it. Plus it seems to change
Debian Update Debian Operating System While going through my normal maintenance yesterday I noticed that my Debian virtual machines are behind on 11 and I've decided I'm going to work on upgrading them. Upgrade PH-02 I decide to start here because it is a redundant server to PH-01 and if I
Tandoor Recipes Tandoor Recipes I stumbled across Tandoor Recipes recently and I think it would be really cool to have our own shopping list and digital recipe application. I like the idea of it tracking when we cook a recipe so we can tell if we've fallen into a rut of just
Homebox Homebox I'm going to give Homebox a go since SnipeIt is just a bit too powerful and I'd spend too much time just fussing and administering it. Create Virtual Machine Steps performed on HV-03 via Windows Admin Center * I navigate to Virtual Machines * I click on Add
Firefly III Firefly III, Part Two Install Operating System I'm going to give the recreated virtual machine a try here today. Nope it locks the host up as well. Huh. So the only difference I can see with this virtual machine and the other virtual machines working correctly is that FIREFLY-01 is utilizing the
Authentik Authentik Security So I have a couple of applications up and running now, which means I know have a bunch of different usernames and passwords. It'd be great if I can replace them all and just have one login across these applications. It seems like two big players in the
Calibre Calibre Over the past few years I have kept hearing how great it can be to run a Calibre server for your personal eBooks. Any time I have looked into it, Calibre's documentation has just never made sense to me as far what I actually need to do. Yesterday
Backups Build Domain Controller DC-03, Part Three I don't have much time to dedicate to this again today, but I was able to uninstall the DHCP and DNS services on DC-01.
Backups Build Domain Controller DC-03, Part Two On DC-01 and DC-02 I disable the DHCP failover configuration. Next I make a backup of the DHCP configuration on DC-01 and copy the backup file to DC-03. I then restore the backup from DC-01 on DC-03. Then I authorized DC-03 and de-authorized DC-01. I test to verify that DC-03
Backups Build Domain Controller DC-03 Continuing from yesterday's debacle Veeam Backup of DC-01 Failed. With DC-01's failure I've migrated FSMO roles from DC-01 to DC-02 and then started working on bringing DC-03 online but brought all my virtual machines on HV-03 to a dead stop. I was confused and
Paperless-NGX Paperless-NGX I came across Paperless and wish I had found this years and years ago. Document management with built in OCR capabilities? Shut the front door! Man I need to get this running right now! It looks like a current fork that is still being worked on is called Paperless-NGX so
SnipeIT SnipeIT I was in a position of needing to move a company's inventory management from an Excel spreadsheet to....well anything. Everyone points to SnipeIT being the gold standard for inventory management but I had never been in a situation where SnipeIT was being utilized. I usually had to
PhotoPrism PhotoPrism One thing that I have been interested in a while is a way to manage my photos myself. Amazon and Google have nice solutions but it scares me what they're doing with our personal photographs. It's also always abundantly clear that they offer all this free
Bookstack Bookstack, Part Two So over the last couple of days I moved some more data into Bookstack from OneNote just so it isn't a blank demo to play with. Now I want to tackle configuring SSL. I think I may have these steps backwards in my head but let's
Pi-Hole Pi-Hole, Part Two So after DHCP propagated my new Pi-Hole servers I've realized that my test domain is unable to authenticate. This makes sense to me now because PH-01 and PH-02 have no way of finding my test domain do they? So in this scenario I have two sets of DNS
Pi-Hole Pi-Hole So one thing I was interested in was taking some control over my DNS. I could go with Bind but I heard about Pi-Hole and thought it would be interesting to check out. Verify Prerequisites So looking through the prerequisites it looks like the only item of concern is for
