The Faulted Disk: harbor Replacement Writeup

The sequel to panicking-led-to-losing-my-desktop — this time the monitoring actually caught the disk dying, and nothing was lost. What happened # is my replica pool — a 10.9T mirror (2x 12TB) that receives syncoid snapshots from. One side of the mirror, a Seagate Exos (serial,), went FAULTED with 14 read + 22 checksum errors. The IronWolf mirror side carried the pool —. ZFS redundancy did exactly its job. The difference from last time # Last failure: no monitoring, found out by accident months later, desktop died. This failure: SigNoz + node-exporter’s ZFS collector → → alert rule → Gotify → my phone. The gotify notification fired before I knew anything was wrong. Diagnosis # Before or replace — check SMART. already scrapes all disks into SigNoz, so I didn’t even need sudo: raw = 3024 and counting value/worst still 100 but raw errors climbing SMART overall: still PASS (SMART’s overall bit is conservative until threshold) 3k+ remapped sectors is a platter going bad — not a cable blip. V…

Homelabbing Realization - Configs and Git

## Realization I'm back to brainstorming migrations away from Docker Compose to something that solves multi-node networking and secrets but I don't want to go to k8s... so my options are probably Docker Swarm or Nomad. As I wrestle mentally here I was thinking about one of my issues with multi-node setup is that I still keep everything out of one git repo, so if something gets managed remotely then I get out of sync. Best example is dashy, Due to some constraint of wanting to be as close to zero-day deployment-ready as possible, I think I overcomplicate some of the simple stuff - like it's ok to just have to put a file on a server for a container to start the first time... That doesn't mean ansible is a requirement, in fact lately I've just leaned into just recipes. But even then, I cornered myself into tracking my dashy config in git, so I'm hesitant to ever update it in the browser cause I'll have to redownload the config, reconcile the formatting differences in my repo (there's ...
RepoFlow Robot User

RepoFlow Robot User

I’m trying to lean into repoFlow at home, and model some slightly better patterns than open borders to artifacts across all my services. As I’m getting repoflow going I see that I can make users in the console, but then I do have to invite users to workspaces with a manually generate invite link. The workspaces an abstraction layer, and in each workspace can be many kinds of repositories. For my purposes I’ll probably have 2 workspaces, even though 1 would almost certainly suffice. There doesn’t seem to be a way to add a user to a workspace from the admin setting so for a while I was pretty confused why I couldn’t add my robot user to a docker repository in my main workspace… After generating the invite link and accepting though then I see in the workspace settings a simple click to give the robot user access to all repos (if you want) allows the user to mutate tags (ie. push docker tags). If the user only has then they can only create new artifacts (ie. not mutate any tags)
Proxy Pull Docker Images From Self-Hosted Container Registry Through Self-Hosted Repoflow

Proxy Pull Docker Images From Self-Hosted Container Registry Through Self-Hosted Repoflow

This post is a short write-up of an issue I had while exploring Reploflow - a super solid artifactory-esq replacement for the homelab (and enterprise!). I’ve been playing with it and have tried to setup a few artifact repos that I’m familiar with - docker and pypi. PyPi # This isn’t a post about repoflow, but I had an issue with pypi and Tomer was EXTREMELY responsive in helping to fix my issue and patch repoflow within a day of me reporting the issue via email! Docker # For docker I have a few options I just wanted to see work - obviously proxy pull from Dockerhub for ease, but also in the interim I’d like to proxy pull from my original container registry to avoid having to update any homelab config just yet. Now, obviously I’ll have to update all my build pipelines to start using repoflow, and my homelab configuration to reference the repoflow docker repository rather than my existing registry. But there’s something to bear in mind if maintaining that middle registry - turns out a th…
