Didn’t post last week when I got it, guess I was feeling a little burnt out.
But hey, first certification. Can’t necessarily use it at this point yet but I’ve got it and during the course of studying for it I definitely found that a number of things make more sense. Even just browsing the Homelab subreddit last night I could tell I had a better understanding than I did a couple months ago.
I keep my notes in markdown files in a git repo my primary editor is a tool called obsidian.md. I’ve got minor gripes and for the most part I’ve got it syncing well and working well. However, a nice to have feature would be to share individual documents with the public. Couple examples, keeping a digital recipe box for the household to read from or sharing TTRPG notes after a session.
I set up a splunk docker container recently and there were a couple what feel like oddities catching me up.
Default debian doesn’t have world readable log files. This is not for production. But it’s okay for my homelab. Starting with this basic docker-compose file we made sure it worked.
version: "3.6" services: so1: image: ${SPLUNK_IMAGE:-splunk/splunk:latest} container_name: so1 environment: - SPLUNK_START_ARGS=–accept-license - SPLUNK_PASSWORD ports: - 8000:8000 It’s simple, gets everything running without doing anything fancy.
My first post. Well my first actual post was supposed to be a log/ tutorial/ step by step/ whatever of setting up Jekyll and Backblaze and cloudflare. Well that was several days ago. Now I’m typing this, a quick draft within Google Keep. Turn it into Markdown tomorrow. Post it day after. But largely I’ve been dragging my feet, what’s the goal of this blog? Is there one? Does there need to be one?
