[475.50 --> 480.68] So I could put that on a USB Ethernet and then the LAN side would be connected to the actual Ethernet port. |
[480.68 --> 490.22] Well, if you try out OpenSense, which is my current favorite firewall of choice for the self builders, I've come across a really cool repo. |
[490.32 --> 493.48] I think I've mentioned it briefly on the show, but I'm going to go into a bit more detail today. |
[493.48 --> 499.86] This is from a guy on Twitter who goes by the handle MIMU underscore MUC. |
[500.06 --> 501.44] That rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? |
[501.84 --> 504.26] There's a link to his Twitter in the show notes. |
[504.80 --> 514.06] But essentially what this does, this repo, is it provides a whole bunch of plugins for OpenSense that aren't officially supported. |
[514.24 --> 520.14] So there's stuff in there like Traffic, Speedtest, Caddy, Unify Controller. |
[520.14 --> 526.36] But for me, the killer app is that I can now run AdGuard Home directly on my OpenSense instance as well. |
[526.60 --> 534.08] So I've completely disabled the unbound DNS that's built into OpenSense and just replaced it completely with AdGuard Home. |
[534.80 --> 537.50] And for me, that's been really solid. |
[537.92 --> 544.26] And when I'm coming in over WireGuard, I can now get AdGuard Home straight away on the same box as WireGuard. |
[544.80 --> 546.34] It's just really nice. |
[546.64 --> 547.12] Hmm. |
[547.12 --> 547.32] Hmm. |
[548.04 --> 551.08] Yeah, I have to say that that is a very compelling setup. |
[551.54 --> 558.72] And this kind of reminds me a little bit of Hacks for Home Assistant, where it's a community-created set of repositories that you can add on. |
[558.80 --> 560.14] It's a very similar deal, yeah. |
[560.26 --> 561.42] And it's nice to see this. |
[561.46 --> 562.62] Like, the essentials are in there. |
[562.82 --> 566.12] I also noticed that, of course, you've got Speedtest is in there. |
[566.20 --> 566.64] Makes sense. |
[566.74 --> 567.86] Grafana, Influx. |
[567.86 --> 571.72] So that's all really nice to have as, you know, an easy-to-install add-on. |
[572.04 --> 572.68] That's great. |
[572.68 --> 576.58] If you wanted to, you could even run Mosquito, MQTT. |
[577.36 --> 577.72] There's a... |
[577.72 --> 579.84] So it's split into two halves, right? |
[579.90 --> 583.26] There's a bunch of plugins which have a bit more about them. |
[583.38 --> 585.96] So they require graphical configuration and that kind of thing. |
[586.24 --> 591.54] But there's also a list of packages, which if you install those, you'll need to drop to the terminal to configure those. |
[591.54 --> 593.94] And there's a few that stand out for me in here. |
[594.80 --> 596.74] Cloudflare D, which is pretty useful. |
[598.34 --> 599.20] Influx is in there. |
[599.40 --> 599.76] Mosquito. |
[600.26 --> 600.98] Smoke Ping. |
[601.08 --> 601.28] Yeah. |
[601.28 --> 603.16] You can actually run that directly on your firewall. |
[603.72 --> 606.06] Tail Scale, which you know I love these days. |
[606.76 --> 612.38] So, yeah, I've found this repository to be an incredibly valuable asset to make open sense. |
[612.44 --> 614.04] It just takes it to that next level for me. |
[614.12 --> 615.70] And really makes it that all-in-one box. |
[616.10 --> 616.50] Absolutely. |
[616.50 --> 620.80] I mean, you could argue it's now a single point of failure for a bit more stuff. |
[620.80 --> 622.80] But it was doing DNS and internet anyway. |
[622.96 --> 626.22] So if that went out when I was in England, I was out of luck anyway. |
[626.42 --> 628.56] So am I bothered? |
[628.96 --> 630.56] You're not a thousand-person enterprise. |
[630.96 --> 633.36] You know, like, yes, there is more risk to having it on one box. |
[633.46 --> 639.08] But when you're in a home, there's also advantages to simplifying and reducing power usage. |
[639.66 --> 639.98] Absolutely. |
[640.20 --> 644.70] Now, talking of, you know, monitoring and keeping things available and stuff like that, |
[644.82 --> 650.34] we've set up a new status page for the network using one of my new favorite tools in the world |
[650.34 --> 651.98] called Uptime Kuma. |
[652.36 --> 654.84] And isn't this just, isn't this nice and clean? |
[654.96 --> 655.94] And we're putting it all out there. |
[656.10 --> 658.62] You know, like if there's an outage, you're going to know about it. |
[658.74 --> 660.68] Status.jupiterbroadcasting.com. |
[660.88 --> 664.74] I mean, I used to use StatPing for a little while, but then there was a new version came |
[664.74 --> 666.20] along and it broke a bunch of stuff. |
[666.28 --> 670.48] And then the developer kind of got bored and just quit, I think is what happened. |
[670.48 --> 675.20] I mean, if you go to the StatPing repository now, the last update was about 10 months ago. |
[675.48 --> 681.32] I did see on Reddit this week that there's a StatPing-NG fork appeared, a StatPing. |
[681.42 --> 682.96] So we'll have to keep our eye on that one. |
[683.60 --> 688.82] But Uptime Kuma is designed after Uptime Robot, if you're familiar with that one. |
[689.30 --> 692.68] There's a live demo on their GitHub page, which is linked in the show notes. |
[692.68 --> 696.32] And this thing is, it's just simple. |
[696.82 --> 702.40] You know, it monitors an endpoint, so it could be an API, or in our case, it could be an RSS |
[702.40 --> 705.86] feed for all the shows that we have as a network. |
[705.98 --> 710.60] And then I've got a group with me, Chris and Wes in it, that we all get a notification |
[710.60 --> 713.82] if these pings fail for more than three minutes. |
[714.44 --> 717.92] So it supports Telegram, Discord, Gotify. |
[718.10 --> 720.04] There's a bunch of stuff it supports out of the box. |
[720.04 --> 728.02] And I've just run it in a container on a separate Linode instance, and it just works great. |
[728.92 --> 734.24] Yeah, and it's given us a nice, just easy, no-brainer overview of what's going on. |
[734.30 --> 738.10] In fact, just recently we had a listener say, hey, is such and such RSS feed down, or was |
[738.10 --> 738.84] there no show today? |
[739.24 --> 740.30] You go, wait, let me go check. |
[741.04 --> 741.80] Pull the status feed. |
[742.26 --> 743.06] Nope, it's up. |
[744.56 --> 746.04] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[746.04 --> 750.24] Go there to receive $100 in 60-day credit, and you support the show. |
[750.74 --> 752.64] Linode can be your lab in the cloud. |
[752.74 --> 753.64] That's how I use them. |
[753.76 --> 757.50] I'm always trying things out because their infrastructure is super fast. |
[757.60 --> 759.82] They're constantly investing in that. |
[760.24 --> 764.40] They are their own ISP, so all of their connections between data centers and out to the internet |
[764.40 --> 765.32] are super fast. |
[765.86 --> 768.54] The hypervisors have 40 gigabit connections coming in. |
[768.54 --> 774.92] And Linode just recently revamped their block storage with NVMe super fast PCIe disks, and |
[774.92 --> 778.48] they cost 30% to 50% less than the major cloud providers out there. |
[779.24 --> 784.22] So it's just a great way to experiment and try something out, and then grow it and scale |
[784.22 --> 787.96] it up because they make it really straightforward to expand the RAM, the storage, and you can |
[787.96 --> 789.44] utilize things like object storage. |
[789.80 --> 793.70] They have S3-compatible object storage that you can use to increase storage as much as |
[793.70 --> 794.00] you like. |
[794.08 --> 797.34] I mean, that kind of stuff makes it super flexible, but it's just a great way to learn, too. |
[797.34 --> 799.80] And if you've never set anything up before, don't worry. |
[800.54 --> 805.82] Not only do they have great guides, super good tutorials, but they also just have one-click |
[805.82 --> 806.26] deployment. |
