A few years back I wrote a blogpost about how I combined a dockerized cloudflared proxy-dns with pi-hole to get DNS over HTTPS up and running at home. The idea was simple: wrap the cloudflared binary into a lightweight docker image, wire it up with pi-hole, and have your DNS requests travel over HTTPS rather than plain UDP.

It was a modest little project. Nothing fancy — just packaging an existing binary, writing some dgoss tests around it, and automating the builds for multiple architectures through CI. But apparently it scratched an itch for a lot of people, because over the …

I'm maintaining a nomad cluster already a few years now at home, based on some thin clients and a few raspberry pi's.

The workload is growing from uses cases of the plane-spotting services towards a pi-hole setup, vaultwarden, homeassistant and many more use cases.

One of the issues I encountered was based on the default scheduling algorithm. Raspberry pi's are not known as the most efficient solution to run a huge workload. Default nomad will schedule new containers on one compute node until the resource limits of that node are consumed and only then will start consuming another node. This …

A couple of years ago I deployed an openstack cluster based on RDO. Back in the days we implemented the kilo release. Until today we didn't updated yet due to various reasons being no need for the new features, no resources, no time no.. Upgrading would be a better option but we'll have to live with it and since it's running rather well so far we are quite happy with it.

To manage that cloud I use the clients I installed on my local machine, from nova to cinder they all have different packages available for many different platforms. Only …
