  • System Redundancy

  • Not heard of BeeGFS, had a quick look on the Arch wiki... looks quite involved...

    But, ok, at least I know that the DHCP part can be dealt with - thanks.

  • I've not looked at Proxmox clusters - can they restart VMs on a different host if they're all using the same shared storage?

  • Ah... I was reading this thinking "ah, I'll have to reply about the battery...".. glad you're limiting the charging....

    But an interesting point... I have a spare OLD Dell laptop kicking around which has various issues, but might be able to do what you're doing. Thanks

  • Yep, all good with DHCP vs DNS.. just my grammer was terrible.

    Nothing was getting an IP from the DHCP, when the wifi returned...and... DNS was also not working for the few devices that still had an IP.

    Sry bout the confusion there.

  • Ah, ok. Thanks, that's a nice summary to get me on the right track... it might be something we need to evaluate for our team at work.

    Thanks!

  • Good points there.

    For 1. The ISP router is a Fritz one set to bridge mode running over a PoE adapter from the same UPS the firewall is using. It stayed up all the time (looking back at the logs)

    1. Not sure what happened here, but the firewall is the DNS resolver and when everything else powered back up, nothing got an IP address. Now, whether thw service failed or the WAPs took longer to start than the devices could wait, I'm not sure, but as Scotty said: it's dead Jim.
    2. Good point. I don't need it ALL to be redundant.
    3. Also good. The UPS is directly connected to the firewall (which has NUT in), but it doesn't inform anything else... I'll look into that too.

    Nice mental reset for me about over thinking it... thanks

  • Ok, I know this is a little lazy, but I did scroll through rheir site first..

    So, is it a linux distro with a load of tools loaded, or is it something custom they've created themselves?

    I see there's a hardware unit too - I guess that's just to connect to SPAN ports somewhere?

  • Finally installed my own Firewall

    Jump

  • Nice.

    Running different SSIDs too?

    I put all my IoT stuff on a dedicated 2.4-only network, VLANd it to the (pfsense) firewall which allows the VLAN trunk to be split into separate logical NICs that I apply different policies to, like no access to the internet, etc...

  • PIR sensors that HA insists are lights

    Jump

  • You can definitely change a sensor's type, but my recommendation is to change it as close to the sensor as possible.

    I use zigbee2mqtt (so I don't know if this applies to z-wave), but to change the 1 or 2 devices that were wrongly detected on my system, I changed them in zigbee2mqtt first and then HA will use the corrected data.

    If I corrected HA, then corrected zigbee2mqtt I'd have to do this twice, plus I presume HA wouldn't automatically pick up any other changes I made to that sensor because it had been overridden.

  • Pick European Chocolate

    Jump

  • Ah, it was full health & safety... large stainless steel vat containing hot molten chocolate, rotating stirring paddle, steps (unsecured) up to an open inspection hatch... but they wore hair nets...

    And, I think they had that policy where all the staff could take as much chocolate as they wanted... so of course, all got sick & tired of that and never took any more.

  • Put the chocolate in the fridge, that makes it easier to snap the larger bits in half 😉

  • Pick European Chocolate

    Jump

  • Several years ago my daughter's school had a trip to a (small, local) chocolate factory.

    For part of the trip the children queued up to dip a marshmallow into a vat of chocolate to taste it.

    My daughter was one of the first in the queue, ate hers and went to the back of the queue for a second one... I was so proud 😁

  • Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?

    Jump

  • 👆🏻 This is the link everyone needs to look at.

    It covers things like keeping your phone active for 2FA, subscriptions that need to be paid until data is saved, etc.

    It's what my SO & I use.

    Very thorough

  • Combined USB-C charger and jack connectors also exist, so could help you here.

    Edit: ah... just saw the /s

  • Where to start with backups?

    Jump

  • Ah, good old dd

    When you have some spare time, take a look at partclone - clonezilla uses it because it only backs up used blocks, not free space, so more efficient.
