&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s my advice for someone starting out with neocaridina shrimp. I don&amp;rsquo;t pretend to be an expert, but my colony is thriving so I&amp;rsquo;m doing something right.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>How to install Proxmox on a 2019 Macbook Pro</title>
      <link>https://unixorn.github.io/post/homelab/2025-02-01-install-proxmox-on-macbook-pro/</link>
      <pubDate>Sat, 01 Feb 2025 10:18:01 -0700</pubDate>
      <guid>https://unixorn.github.io/post/homelab/2025-02-01-install-proxmox-on-macbook-pro/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently replaced a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro with a M3 Macbook Air, so I decided to wipe the MBP and install &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.proxmox.com&#34;&gt;proxmox&lt;/a&gt; on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It wasn&amp;rsquo;t as straightforward as installing on non-Apple hardware, so I&amp;rsquo;m documenting what I had to do here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that this post only covers getting things working on a MacBook Pro - look at the many online tutorials for what you should do once your node is up and running.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I run &lt;a href=&#34;https://pi-hole.net/&#34;&gt;PiHole&lt;/a&gt; for ad-blocking on my home network. I&amp;rsquo;m an SRE in my day job, so of course I&amp;rsquo;m not running a single instance of something as important as DNS. I also don&amp;rsquo;t want to have to update things like local DNS entries or blocklists in multiple places, that will cause weird and annoying inconsistencies in my DNS.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Got my first neocaridinas yesterday!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new tank has been cycling for six weeks and the water parameters have been good for the last three weeks, so I decided it was past time to add more livestock to the tank so the Nerite doesn&amp;rsquo;t get lonely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I decided on Yellow Golden Backs because I thought they&amp;rsquo;d stand out in my tank, and ordered 20 from &lt;a href=&#34;https://LVexoticfish.com&#34;&gt;LVexoticfish.com&lt;/a&gt;. I have to give them props - as advertised, all the shrimp arrived alive.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Just started a new 5 gallon tank. Haven&amp;rsquo;t had fish tanks in years, and someone local generously gave me some plant trimmings when cleaning his tanks, and I forgot what species they are.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Store NUT metrics in Prometheus so we can display them with Grafana</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I ordered a second UPS because thanks to &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/Brandawg93/PeaNUT&#34;&gt;PeaNUT&lt;/a&gt;, I saw that my current UPS is only providing 20 minutes of uptime. Unfortunately, as of this post, PeaNUT will only read one UPS&amp;rsquo; metrics from &lt;a href=&#34;https://networkupstools.org/&#34;&gt;Network UPS Tools&lt;/a&gt; per PeaNUT instance, so I&amp;rsquo;m going to start scraping the metrics into Prometheus and displaying them with Grafana. Here&amp;rsquo;s how I did it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I wanted nice graphs for the various metrics I collect in my homelab and from my Home Assistant server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s how I installed Prometheus and Grafana in my homelab to get them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I run my Synology server and network switches off a UPS. I decided I wanted a dashboard for the UPS, here&amp;rsquo;s how I did set up &lt;a href=&#34;https://networkupstools.org/&#34;&gt;Network UPS Tools&lt;/a&gt;, aka NUT, and the &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/Brandawg93/PeaNUT&#34;&gt;PeaNUT&lt;/a&gt; dashboard.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Weird Home Assistant Scripts Bug</title>
      <link>https://unixorn.github.io/post/hass/2023-11-weird-ha-scripts-bug/</link>
      <pubDate>Wed, 22 Nov 2023 15:55:25 -0700</pubDate>
      <guid>https://unixorn.github.io/post/hass/2023-11-weird-ha-scripts-bug/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I ran into a weird Home Assistant scripts issue when I upgraded to 2023.11 from 2023.06 (I know, but I didn’t need the new features and had higher priority stuff to deal with) last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the update, when I went to add or edit a script, I started seeing 500s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After some messing around, I eventually moved the couple scripts I had from &lt;code&gt;scripts.yaml&lt;/code&gt; as inline scripts in &lt;code&gt;configuration.yaml&lt;/code&gt;, restarted, and when I went to edit them, HA offered to migrate them into &lt;code&gt;scripts.yaml&lt;/code&gt;. Annoyingly, &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; when I went to create a new script, HA didn’t return 500s, but the new script didn’t show up in the script list either. I could see it in &lt;code&gt;scripts.yaml&lt;/code&gt;, though, and &lt;code&gt;configuration.yaml&lt;/code&gt; had the expected &lt;code&gt;script: !include scripts.yaml&lt;/code&gt; line in it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In the next few posts, I&amp;rsquo;m going to document how to set up Home Assistant (HA) from scratch. We&amp;rsquo;re going to want to protect the admin UI interfaces for HA and its support services with SSL, and add authentication to services that don&amp;rsquo;t provide it themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re going to do this with &lt;a href=&#34;https://nginxproxymanager.com/&#34;&gt;Nginx Proxy Manager&lt;/a&gt; because it has built in support for using &lt;a href=&#34;https://letsencrypt.org&#34;&gt;LetsEncrypt&lt;/a&gt; to obtain free SSL certificates, supports adding authentication to services that don&amp;rsquo;t do it themselves, and is overall easy to use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before I start writing more Home Assitant articles, let&amp;rsquo;s set up a SSL proxy server to keep everything secure.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;As part of moving from Twitter to Mastodon I decided to add comments to the blog using Fediverse posts. Fortunately, Carl Schwan showed how he does it on his blog &lt;a href=&#34;https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-static-blog-with-mastodon/&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are the exact tweaks to his post I did to get it working with the &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod&#34;&gt;papermod&lt;/a&gt; theme I&amp;rsquo;m using on this blog.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re doing a kitchen &amp;amp; bathrooms renovation, and the construction is generating a lot of dust, to the point that I was changing the HVAC filter twice a week. I wanted to see just how much garbage is in the air, so I started looking around for air quality sensors. Naturally I wanted one that I could integrate into my Home Assistant so I could generate notifications if the air was extra filthy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <guid>https://unixorn.github.io/post/restic-backups-on-truenas/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve been backing my homelab up with &lt;code&gt;duplicacy&lt;/code&gt; (See &lt;a href=&#34;https://unixorn.github.io/post/backing-up-the-cluster-with-duplicacy/&#34;&gt;Backing Up the Cluster Using Duplicacy&lt;/a&gt;), but I&amp;rsquo;m fed up with it returning a &lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt; exit code &lt;em&gt;even if there&amp;rsquo;s a problem with the backup&lt;/em&gt;. This makes me have to do a lot of annoying rummaging through log output to be sure that a backup actually worked, so I decided to switch to &lt;a href=&#34;https://restic.net/&#34;&gt;restic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this blog entry, I&amp;rsquo;m going to explain how to create a jail in TrueNAS, mount directories you want to back up into the jail, install &lt;a href=&#34;https://restic.net/&#34;&gt;restic&lt;/a&gt;, and how to use it to back up to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html&#34;&gt;Backblaze b2&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Fix Congo Backticks</title>
      <link>https://unixorn.github.io/post/fix-congo-backticks/</link>
      <pubDate>Mon, 14 Nov 2022 19:12:41 -0700</pubDate>
      <guid>https://unixorn.github.io/post/fix-congo-backticks/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I considered a switch to the &lt;a href=&#34;https://hugothemesfree.com/a-simple-lightweight-theme-for-hugo-built-with-tailwind-css/&#34;&gt;Congo&lt;/a&gt; theme for &lt;a href=&#34;https://gohugo.io/&#34;&gt;Hugo&lt;/a&gt;. The one thing I didn&amp;rsquo;t like in it was the way it handles inline backticks - it displays them, in addition to formatting the enclosed text as code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To fix it, create &lt;code&gt;assets/css/custom.css&lt;/code&gt; with the following contents:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;highlight&#34;&gt;&lt;pre tabindex=&#34;0&#34; class=&#34;chroma&#34;&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-css&#34; data-lang=&#34;css&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;cl&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;p&#34;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;nc&#34;&gt;prose&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&#34;nt&#34;&gt;code&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;p&#34;&gt;::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;nd&#34;&gt;before&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&#34;p&#34;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;cl&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;p&#34;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;cl&#34;&gt;

      <title>Switch Home Assistant to Use PostgreSQL Instead of SQLite</title>
      <link>https://unixorn.github.io/post/hass-using-postgresql-instead-of-sqlite/</link>
      <pubDate>Sat, 05 Nov 2022 09:42:58 -0600</pubDate>
      <guid>https://unixorn.github.io/post/hass-using-postgresql-instead-of-sqlite/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I wanted to switch my new Home Assistant (HA) installation to write data to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.postgresql.org/&#34;&gt;PostgreSQL&lt;/a&gt; instead of SQLite for a variety of reasons. Here&amp;rsquo;s how I did it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s why I decided to switch:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resilience&lt;/strong&gt;. If you&amp;rsquo;re running Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi&amp;rsquo;s SD card, the constant churn of history updates will eventually destroy the card. The more entities you have, the faster HA will grind your SD card to failure. Writing all that to another server that is writing to a real SSD or spinning disk eliminates that problem.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Convenience&lt;/strong&gt;. I can back up the postgres database without having to stop HA. I don&amp;rsquo;t even have to run the backup on the HA server.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speed&lt;/strong&gt;. Using a real database will speed up history display, especially once you have a large number of entities.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have several Securifi &lt;a href=&#34;https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TC9NC82&#34;&gt;Peanut&lt;/a&gt; Zigbee switches. Overall, they&amp;rsquo;re nice little smart plugs and make good Zigbee routers to strengthen your Zigbee mesh, but they have one annoying issue - &lt;a href=&#34;https://zigbee2mqtt.io&#34;&gt;zigbee2mqtt&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;rsquo;t recognize them perfectly, though there&amp;rsquo;s a simple fix that I&amp;rsquo;m going to document here.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I signed up for the free personal edition of Autodesk Fusion 360 to get started with 3d printing, and the first time I tried to launch it on macOS, it wouldn&amp;rsquo;t let me in because it refused to create a new team for me to join.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The solution ended up being to quit Fusion 360, open the &lt;a href=&#34;http://login.autodesk360.com/login/signup?product=fusion&amp;amp;edition=business&#34;&gt;Fusion Team Signup&lt;/a&gt; page in a browser, create a team there, then restart Fusion 360.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <guid>https://unixorn.github.io/post/western-digital-red-smr-fiasco/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;TL;DR - SMR drives can take thirteen to sixteen times as long to resilver in your ZFS raid than CMR drives. If they even succeed. This wouldn&amp;rsquo;t be a big deal, except that Western Digital started using SMR technology in their WD-Red drives that are marketed toward SOHO and small business raid, without any warnings about the RAID performance implications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I got lucky when I bought my last batch of Reds, they were all CMR, but it was pure luck - I bought them based on Western Digital&amp;rsquo;s reputation and because I&amp;rsquo;ve seen multiple NAS vendors recommend WD-REDs in the past.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;For a variety of reasons, I needed to enable some EC2 instances to write/update a single EC2 tag, but the instaces needed to only be able to tag themselves.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I wanted to set up a security camera outside, but I didn&amp;rsquo;t want to be dependent on an outside cloud service - if my internet goes out, I don&amp;rsquo;t want to lose my ability to record video.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wyze cameras are nice and cheap, and you can reflash them to support RTSP in addition to streaming to the Wyze cloud.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve got an old HP laser printer in my basement. We barely print 10 pages a month between the two of us, so we only turn it on when we&amp;rsquo;re going to print. That&amp;rsquo;s a hassle though, because inevitably we forget to shut it off sometimes and it stays on overnight or even for days, and while it has a powersave mode, the 4050N is so old that even that burns a good amount of power.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enter Home Assistant.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have an old HP 4050N. For a variety of reasons, I want to have it behind a print server instead of having my laptops print directly to it. Here&amp;rsquo;s how I set that up.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I got a post published at work about &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.twilio.com/blog/home-assistant-twilio-sms-alerts&#34;&gt;How to Receive Alerts from Home Assistant with Twilio SMS&lt;/a&gt;, so I won&amp;rsquo;t replicate it here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TL;DR - It is super easy to send SMS messages via Twilio SMS with &lt;code&gt;curl&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Update: I wrote another article, &lt;a href=&#34;https://unixorn.github.io/post/use-pagerduty-with-home-assistant/&#34;&gt;Use PagerDuty with Home Assistant&lt;/a&gt; this time for using PagerDuty which allows automatically de-duping notifications.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Adding the Plex integration to Home Assistant is pretty straightforward with the exception of finding your Plex token.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;find-your-plex-token&#34;&gt;Find Your Plex token:&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sign into your &lt;a href=&#34;https://plex.tv&#34;&gt;Plex.tv&lt;/a&gt; account&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Browse to one of the media files (TV episode, movie) on your connected server. You&amp;rsquo;ll need a Plex pass for this.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Get info&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;strong&gt;View XML&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ignore the XML.&lt;/em&gt; Look in the URL to the XML page - you&amp;rsquo;ll see &lt;code&gt;Plex-Token\=XYZZY&lt;/code&gt;. That&amp;rsquo;s the token you&amp;rsquo;ll need.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;set-up-the-plex-home-assistant-integration&#34;&gt;Set up the Plex Home Assistant Integration&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you have the token,&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Before anyone complains about me getting political on what was mainly a tch site, remember that &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; being political is a luxury that only people not getting screwed by the current political landscape can afford.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In no particular order, the attempts to roll back rights for LGBTQ+ citizens, the assaults on womens&amp;rsquo; rights, the handling of the COVID-19 crisis, packing the Supreme Court with a hypocritical last second Justice, putting kids in cages, the ongoing destruction of the political norms that have existed for decades, the ignoring scientific facts, etc, etc all have focused my efforts on supporting one party.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve got a mix of architectures in my basement cluster - some Odroid HC2s that are &lt;code&gt;arm7&lt;/code&gt;, some Raspberry Pi 4s that are &lt;code&gt;arm64&lt;/code&gt;, and am soon going to add an Intel node as well. It&amp;rsquo;s more hassle than it&amp;rsquo;s worth to have to specify different images for the different architectures. I already build my own copies of images, so I decided to start building all my images as multiarchitecture images.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I no longer recommend duplicacy. Instead, read my article on &lt;a href=&#34;https://unixorn.github.io/post/restic-backups-on-truenas/&#34;&gt;restic backups on TrueNas&lt;/a&gt; instead.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I had to grow a live filesystem on a server in EC2, without downtime. I do this just infrequently enough to not &lt;em&gt;quite&lt;/em&gt; remember all the details without poking around the internet, so I&amp;rsquo;m documenting it all in one place.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I wanted to experiment with &lt;a href=&#34;https://k3s.io&#34;&gt;k3s&lt;/a&gt;. They package everything you need in a single binary, don&amp;rsquo;t package in deprecated parts of k8s, and it works on Intel, ARMv7 and ARM64. It seemed like it&amp;rsquo;d be a less painful way to runn Kubernetes on my ARM cluster.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the reasons I set up my cluster was that I&amp;rsquo;m running out of space on my NAS. I don&amp;rsquo;t want to buy a whole new chassis, and while I could have put individual file shares on each cluster node, that would be both inconvenient and not provide any data redundancy without a lot of brittle home-rolled hacks to &lt;code&gt;rsync&lt;/code&gt; data from node to node. And since distributed file systems are a thing, I&amp;rsquo;d rather not resort to hacks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I had a bunch of cruft in start scripts that would determine the IP of my laptop and set it as an environment variable to pass to &lt;code&gt;docker-compose&lt;/code&gt; and it turns out that with Docker for Mac you don&amp;rsquo;t have to do all that work - just use &lt;code&gt;docker.for.mac.localhost&lt;/code&gt; as a hostname.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/apgar&#34;&gt;apgar&lt;/a&gt; - Apgar is a quick and dirty health-check driver written in Go to prevent dependency conflicts. It is explicitly designed to be simple and not interfere with anything else running on your servers.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/git-extra-commands&#34;&gt;git-extra-commands&lt;/a&gt; - A collection of useful extra &lt;code&gt;git&lt;/code&gt; scripts I&amp;rsquo;ve discovered or written, packaged for ease of use with shell frameworks. It also includes lists of &lt;code&gt;git&lt;/code&gt; tutorials and other &lt;code&gt;git&lt;/code&gt; resources.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/ha-mqtt-discoverable-cli&#34;&gt;ha-mqtt-discoverable-cli&lt;/a&gt; - A set of command line tools usable by shell scripts that uses &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/ha-mqtt-discoverable&#34;&gt;ha-mqtt-discoverable&lt;/a&gt; to make it easy to create MQTT topics that will automatically be detected by &lt;a href=&#34;https://home-assistant.io&#34;&gt;Home Asssistant&lt;/a&gt; as entities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/ha-mqtt-discoverable&#34;&gt;ha-mqtt-discoverable&lt;/a&gt; - A python module that lets you create sensor and device MQTT topics that will automatically be detected by &lt;a href=&#34;https://home-assistant.io&#34;&gt;Home Asssistant&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash/&#34;&gt;Internet-of-Trash&lt;/a&gt; - There are many IOT devices out there, and it&amp;rsquo;s hard to know which ones are any good. This list shows you products that are known to &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; work well with &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.home-assistant.io&#34;&gt;Home Assistant&lt;/a&gt; so you can avoid wasting money on them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/online-devops-meetups&#34;&gt;online-devops-meetups&lt;/a&gt; - A list of free online devops meetups.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/tumult.plugin.zsh&#34;&gt;tumult&lt;/a&gt; - Tumult is a collection of macOS-specific functions and scripts for your command-line environment. It is packaged as a ZSH plugin, but can be used in &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;fish&lt;/code&gt; or other shells as well.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/works-with-home-assistant&#34;&gt;Works With Home Assistant&lt;/a&gt; - Not all IOT devices that claim to work with HA actually work well.

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/unixorn/zsh-quickstart-kit&#34;&gt;zsh-quickstart-kit&lt;/a&gt; - A simple quick start for switching to ZSH. Includes a curated list of plugins that&amp;rsquo;s easily overridden if you want to change it, is easily customizable without needing to maintain your own fork of the kit, and tweaks the setup to allow history de-duplication, history sharing across shells on the same machine, tab completion for a lot of commands that are not included in a stock ZSH install, and on macOS will load a bunch of command line tools for manipulating your Mac.&lt;/li&gt;
