jerks like UCEProtect often put big ISPs on a blacklist at the ASN level.

yea, just ignore them, no one major uses them & even if you do everything right, they still blacklist you, it's such a scam and the guy running it is a major dick nozzle

I know that separate switch manufactures have different control programs/automation for their own devices. Cisco has catalyst center, HP has Aruba Central.

If the switch has SSH access, Ansible maybe?

I don't think that the P420 is supported on the newer microservers, I remember from HPs manual, the only listed raid controller was the p408i-p. Doesn't mean that the older ones aren't supported, but HP doesn't officially support them

How TF are y'all getting 25Gbps when we can barely get 1Gbps symetrical in the UK

Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it

I'd rather have power in case of an emergency than be in the dark

Don't backup the actual container, backup the volumes and the docker-compose file

I'm going to catch some heat for this, but I personally can't stand Ubuntu. I don't know what is it about the system or envrionment but it just rubs me the wrong way. Fine with Debian but Ubuntu just sits wrong with me

I'm sure everything I am currently running is safe, but I have that fear also, ever since one of the PSUs in one of my R320's died and smoke started poring out the back (blown cap I think) - hasn't happened since, but it's one of the things I worry about

no, they burned the briges with removing the home/lab licence (for no reason other than fuck you), plus the way they've been treating the community and the shitty excuse they gave in the first place is frankly, not good enough.

I'll keep using CE and see what happens there, but hopefully someone can make a pfsense to opnsense converter and I can move over to opnsense if CE dies

in my docker setup, I have everything under /home/docker/ and have all those volumes shared to their specific container - that way, when you're backing up, you only need to backup the volume and docker-compose file

As for git, I'd keep your docker-compose files in git and have your volumes in storage as the compose files are the most likely to be modified and it's good to have version control

 

So, after this whole debacle with NetGate pulling yet another dick move and pulling the rug out from under those of us who did get the home+lab licence for PFSense+, we are now looking for alternatives. While most of us are probably going to go to Opnsense, I was thinking of another option.

I was looking around and saw that even some of the more modern ASAs, the 5525-x can be got for pretty cheap and what with Cisco’s licence being perpetual and pretty much for life, could an ASA work in a homelab?

Configuring it isn’t a problem for me, we use them at work and I have CCNA

I know it’s possible and can be done via ether SSH or ASDM (granted I’ll have to move both DHCP and DNS to another box as ASAs don’t do DNS and the DHCP server on ASAs don’t offer a lot of features) - but is this overkill for a homelab?

If anyone does happen to be running an ASA or has some tips, I’d love to hear them
