  • haven't thought about it. I guess I'll learn some bash :)

    BTW what is a good OS for the VM host? many here are running proxmox... would you recommend it for this purpose of bash automation to bring up VMs?

    Home server rebuild automation workflow

    Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it's configuration is as follows

    • debian host running 3 VMs
    • debian running inside each VM as docker host

    I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.

    I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.

    But I've now heard of Talos.. (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files..

    What setup are you guys using?

    Thank you.


    Thanks for all your suggestions! I've chosen to go with just bash scripting (given my simple setup) and keep the setup as it is.. Just gotta learn bash and virsh :)

  • Thanks for the feed back. I started out with that post I referenced in my article, which had fewer entries. It didn't work. Caveat was although the online port checkers were reporting the port as open, it was not actually making through the tunnel!

    I actually solved it by asking chatgpt!! I put in the suggestions and it worked. I'm also no expert on creating iptables, but once it was in place it seemed self explanatory.

    I ran netcat as client-server to test it actually worked.

    The minimalism of Jerboa app is unparalleled

    So I've just found out about Lemmy. (Although I'm a big FOSS enthusiast)

    Choose this app for my Android device, and boy nothing beats it's minimalism!

    Ditching the VPN and port forwarding the selfhosted way

    For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.
