tar over ssh
Today I learned how to use tar over ssh to save hours in file transfers. I keep all of my projects in ~/git (very creative I know, I've done it for years and haven't changed). I just swapped out my main desktop from bazzite to hyprland, and wanted to get all of my projects back. Before killing my bazzite install I moved everything over (16GB of many small files), it took over 14 hours, maybe longer. I had started in the morning and just let it churn. This was not going to happen for re-seedi

Changing k8s Storage Class - Migration Job
I'm setting up longhorn in my homelab, and I ran into an issue where I initially setup some pvcs under longhorn, and later realized that to get longhorn to snapshot and backup I needed to hand edit volumes after the fact or change storage class. I'm all in on gitops so option 1 was not an option. So changing storageclass it is. Now the issue is that you CANNOT mutate storageclass on a provisioned pvc, it is an immutable attribute. Migration Job This migration job will create a new pvc with the

I connected my home network to have 4G bakcup with Google Fi and Netgear LM1200. Goodle Fi offers free data-only sim cards that you can order from their service. It takes a couple of days, and a new sim arrives in the mail free of charge. It does pull data from your account, so if you are not on an unlimited plan be careful of how much you let go through the sim. I've owned this for a few years now, but it's been disconnected for a good six months or so. I'm not s[e what happened, but it sto

Make MinIO Access Key
Today in my homelab I wanted to setup a new service that needed a MinIO access key. So I created a new user and a new access key with the MinIO CLI rather than poking through the ui like I have before. screenshot-2025-02-03T02-13-38-628Z.png {.more-cinematic} Global Level vs User Level The MinIO CLI has two levels of access, global and user level. Most of the commands in this post will have several ways to do similar tasks that would potentially work. We are going to prefer to use the user leve

debug cloudflared tunnel
I've been debugging a cloudflared tunnel issue in my homelab all day today, and getting really frustrated. My issue ended up being that it was running twice, once without the correct config file and another with it. I believe that cacheing may have compounded the issue. In yesterday's post I setup a cloudflared tunnel on my ubuntu server to expose applications running on the server to the internet. I'm setting up a new server and running cloudflared in its own vm.

I run a cloudflared tunnel on my ubuntu server to expose applications running on the server to the internet. I'm setting up a new server and running cloudflared in its own vm. Get the cloudflared binary Now setup the config directory. For the systemd service to work, the config file needs to be in /etc/cloudflared. I like to give my user rights to edit the config file without being sudo, we will do that here by creating a group , add ourselves to the group, give ownership of to the group, gi

I've long hosted my personal blog as a static site on waylonwalker.com. It's all markdown, converted to html, and shipped as is. It's been great, I've moved it from GitHub Pages, to Netlify, tried Vercel for a minute, and have landed on Cloudflare Pages. Each migration has not really been that hard, it's just pointing ci to a different host after the site has built. What about server side Now the part that I have struggled with is how to cheaply host a server rendered application that can just l
