Reset Admin Password on Teamspeak3 Docker

July 18, 2022 by Tobey Leave a Comment
Docker

A few years ago I migrated my Teamspeak3 installation to Docker. Until now this ran like a charm with minimal management effort. For some reason the configured admin password, which is displayed once on the initial startup of Teamspeak3, did not work for me anymore. Researching this issue I have found an easy yet undocumented … [Read more…]

Specific calendar events crash the Home Assistant integration

July 25, 2021 by Tobey Leave a Comment
Home Assistant

Recently I started playing around with Home Assistant, to make my home smart and display useful metrics on a dashboard, e.g. calendar events. A few days ago I noticed specific calendar events crash the Home Assistant integration for a day. I don’t think this is exclusive to my environment and may be a global issue. … [Read more…]

Inkplate

A few days ago I finally received my Inkplate 10 in the mail. I’m using this 10″ e-ink display to show a dashboard of my smart home using Home Assistant.

Creating self-signed wildcard-certificates for modern browsers

May 30, 2021 by Tobey Leave a Comment
OpenSSL

When setting up my local K3s on a Intel NUC I thought it would be nice to use Ingress resources to access the services instead of using a node-port. As those services will only be used inside my LAN (and I didn’t want to have an invalid certificate warning) I decided to use a self-signed … [Read more…]

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS with Traefik 2 Middleware in K3s / Kubernetes

May 15, 2021 by Tobey 13 Comments
traefik-logo

When setting up my new K3s cluster I needed some sort of redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. One option that is often found when searching for this issue is to redirect all traffic with Traefik. This however is not suitable if you just want some services to redirect and not everything in the cluster. Especially … [Read more…]

Subtract subquery constant in InfluxDB / Grafana

February 27, 2021 by Tobey 1 Comment
influxdb

The need for a query Some time ago I’ve decided to gather information from my FritzBox router to display in Grafana. I stumbled upon a TIG (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana) stack on Github, which I forked and dockerized. I found a Grafana dashboard to import on another fork (included in my fork as well) which is … [Read more…]

Connecting Telegraf to Mosquitto with output to InfluxDb

February 14, 2021 by Tobey 2 Comments
Mosquitto

For a small project (a microcontroller with a temperature sensor) I needed a mqtt broker to process the sensors data to display it in Grafana. There’s already a TIG stack running on my server, so it was obvious to me that I will go with Mosquitto. For some reason Mosquitto never returned any data scraped … [Read more…]

checking the availability of an encrypted volume ft. Pushbullet and Pi-hole

July 11, 2020 by Tobey 1 Comment
pihole

Issue: I need to get a notification if a necessary volume on my Linux device is not mounted, as this volume cannot get automatically mounted because a passphrase is required. The curl-request is dependent on the custom DNS (Pi-hole). When setting up my Intel NUC I decided that all my persistent data of the running … [Read more…]
