Welcome to my wiki! This site's purpose is to serve first and foremost as my own documentation - a config / design reference dumping ground to retain knowledge I pick up over the years. I decided to place the information somewhere simple and shareable for othe...

Ubuntu 18.04 and up ships with NetPlan instead of the standard /etc/network/interfaces file. I found the documentation to be fairly scarce, so I'll leave a few examples and snippets here. General Be sure to apply / test changes with sudo netplan generate and...

I have a fairly cheap Synology system managing my spinning rust storage. Block storage over iSCSI didn't perform very well, so I ended up on NFS. NFS works well enough, but unfortunately the support to mount a remote export just isn't there yet. You'll need to...

Decisions While encrypting the pool volume is possible, I decided to go with a sub-volume, just in case I need to add un-encrypted data later The options for encryption keys passphrase, raw key, and hex key. I'll be using a hex key for ease of backup in my pa...

Installation & Configuration Cloudflare does a lot for me, I'm using their DNS hosting, as well as using them for upstream DNS over HTTPS using their cloudflared utility. I've had some reliability issues with it, though, so I'm documenting how I got through it...

I discovered with Wayland that grabbing the screen no longer works, so everytime I hit the Super key it activates in the host instead of inside Citrix. I got around this with two settings gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules "['Wfi...

Ubuntu 22.04 and greater has deprecated the use of apt-key to install GPG keys to your system. I'm big on provisioning my systems using Ansible, and while I found lots of documentation about how to use the get_url module instead of apt_key I could not find any...

These days we have all sorts of methods for updating software on Linux systems. Personally, I have systems running NixOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, some with flatpaks & snaps, and fwupd for firmware. Wouldn't it be nice to have a single bash alias for updating your loca...

I've been making more and more use of infrastructure as code tools, specifically Ansible & Terraform. Most of my servers are running in LXD containers, which these tools provide interactions with. Source Documentation Remote LXD Connections LXD Ansible Inv...
