It's been a while, let's go! Any major fuckups lately or smooth sailing?

I had to change the local DNS setup yesterday. I finally installed my wife Linux Mint and wanted to set her up for Vaultwarden real quick which became an hour long debug session since apparently CNAME entries for hostnames don't work as I thought. Never came up the recent year as all my machines took it, but resolved refused to and so I eventually deleted the entries in the Pihole and created them as A records pointing to the VM with the reverse proxy, hoping I won't need to change the IP anytime soon. It's always DNS!

In other news I think I moved all my local dockered services to forgejo+komodo now and applying updates by merging renovate MRs still feels super smooth. I just updated my calibre web automated with a single click. Only exception is home assistant where I have yet to find a good split in what to throw in a docker volume and what to check in git and bindmount.

Oh, and for anyone who has never used it, Apache guacamole is a really neat tool for centralizing configuration. Effectively, you can set it up as a website with a username and password that will transfer through ssh, telnet, VNC, and RDP, so if you need to hop into something while you are outside the home, it's going to be effective. That's something that I wish I had known about earlier, it would have made a lot of rough days a lot easier.
