For Today

I'm going to try replacing my "for today" and "for tomorrow" sections of notes with just updating now

pilgrims-creek---about-me#Hello

I'm migrating my homelab stuff to its own repo called homelab-mono

  • starting with the restic stuff going into a dataops folder

  • will move homelab-compose to there eventually

  • restic is backing up ok I think, but I want just recipes for quickly checking the health and so I'm working on that with windsurf right now

  • I started working on gotify-cli-for-notifying-me-of-nextcloud-uploads and it's got me thinking that I was going to be using temporal for this kind of stuff... how far out to I branch out at home?

Wants

I'm struggling with some homelab setup... Between using-restic-to-backup-my-home-directory#Intro and building my blog with temporal (oh and shotput which pushes images to my images.pype.dev repo ) I'm finding that I need an ssh key in a container... My restic backup uses my ssh key and runs out of my dotfiles repo right now. But I need to think about a way to generate or share a restricted user's keypair with a container or many containers for homelab use...

  • ssh
  • restic
  • zfs operations? probably not
  • github permissions / self-hosted git repo
    • should be github for images.pype.dev because statically.io works well specifically with github

This is where something like vault would come in handy... a central place to store these types of credentials. But I suppose I could hack something up on a zfs dataset... I could generate a key pair for a user in my lab, or even me but with restricted permissions, and then put that in /tank/encrypted/docker/something-zfs and then use that as a host mount into any containers that need a key? -v /tank/enctyped/docker/something-zfs:/home/appuser/.ssh something like that...
