I’ve been hosting repository mirrors from my homelab rack for a while. I first set up Archlinux in May 2018, then followed OPNsense, Cygwin, MariaDB, Raspbian and lastly Manjaro — now they are in a Terrahost datacenter instead.

I rebuilt the exhaust ventilation late 2017, but shortly after — I did the homelab ventilation project and had to remove parts of the exhaust system because it was in the way of the new insulated ducts. Time to rebuilt it!

All my homelab servers and containers send their logs to a local Graylog instance. I wanted my VPS to do that as well — but sending unencrypted logs over the internet is not a good idea.

To make sure my HTTP redirects were valid, and pointing to the correct location — I added a Prometheus Blackbox exporter module 👇

My ATTEN 858D hot air gun suddenly began tripping the residual-current device in my home office. Let’s investigate! 👇
