This blog now runs on CentOS 8

I bough a UniFi Switch 16 XG, Board Revision 13 (UniFi Software reports 13, while in the pic below I see 11, odd).

These are my notes on initial bringup.

I installed Fedora 29 on my TerraMaster F5-422 for a quick Ceph test.

Obviously if you plan to use Fedora on this hardware for anything more than a quick test, use the latest version! Or try RHEL7 or CentOS Stream on it.

This is my braindump.

I finally received my F(x)tec Pro¹.

After checking with the shipped Android that the device was not DOA and applying all updates, I reflashed it with SailfishOS

These are my notes on installing Sailfish OS 3.2.1.20 community build.

I reinstalled my TerraMaster F5-422 with CentOS Stream.

I bought a TerraMaster F5-422.

These are my notes on initial bringup.

The following post is heavily based on Fedora on the ODROID-HC2

It is is about installing CentOS Userland armv7hl on an ODROID-HC2 (from a Fedora 31 x86_64 workstation).

The aim is to get the ODROID in a state where one can ssh as root to the host.

Both initial setup over serial and installing without using a serial console are described.

Since 32 GiB SO-DIMMs are cheap at the moment, I decided to try an upgrade my ThinkPad X270 from it’s current 16 GiB RAM to 32.

I added a RLY-8 to my home lab. It has 8 controllable relays and can be talked to via network.

These are my notes on initial bringup.

As per Ubiquiti’s support article EdgeRouter - Add Debian Packages to EdgeOS, I enabled some apt sources on my EdgeRouter 6P.

I had a bit of trouble adding an ssh key to my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P. I kept getting

Not a valid key file format (see man sshd) at /opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-load-user-key.pl line 96, <$in> line 1.

Turned out that the key needs to:

• have a comment
• not have any spaces in the comment
• be on a line of it’s own in the imported file (e.g. do not add a newline at the end)

for loadkey to accept it.
