[9.04 --> 18.94] There I was, down at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, actually the night before, dreaming about what we might discover, thinking about what we might learn. |
[19.38 --> 25.56] I decide to check in on my intrepid RV, about seven hours north of where I was. |
[25.88 --> 29.34] I pull up the Home Assistant app, and it just isn't quite loading. |
[29.34 --> 31.62] And I think, hmm, that's strange. |
[32.42 --> 37.16] So I fire up TailScale, and I pull up the web interface, because the web interface always works when the app doesn't work. |
[37.74 --> 39.16] And it still doesn't load. |
[39.22 --> 43.02] And I think, huh, I wonder if something's wrong with Home Assistant. |
[44.48 --> 53.42] And a few days go by, and I finally make it back to the RV, and I discover that my Raspberry Pi home server that runs more than just Home Assistant. |
[53.42 --> 64.52] I mean, it runs my Plex instance, my Sync Thing instance, my Duplicati instance, my Smoke Ping instance, my Markdown Notes instance, and Home Assistant. |
[66.18 --> 66.54] Dead. |
[67.26 --> 67.90] Just dead. |
[68.10 --> 69.00] Dead as a doornail. |
[69.14 --> 70.62] Just totally dead. |
[70.82 --> 71.40] Uh-oh. |
[71.40 --> 73.18] And you know the worst part? |
[74.06 --> 75.22] I don't even know why it's dead. |
[75.42 --> 76.82] What do you mean you don't know why it's dead? |
[77.04 --> 77.98] I don't even know what happened. |
[78.54 --> 82.82] I mean, we've been on the road, and I've been trying to figure it out, but I just haven't had a chance. |
[82.88 --> 84.56] I haven't even hooked up an HDMI screen to it. |
[84.58 --> 85.34] Oh, I see. |
[85.40 --> 86.92] I did the hardware swap thing, you know. |
[87.16 --> 87.46] Yeah. |
[87.54 --> 89.12] So what was your plan with that hardware swap? |
[89.18 --> 91.12] Because it seemed like a brilliant plan at the time. |
[91.26 --> 91.72] Well, thank you. |
[91.72 --> 99.20] I mean, I bought a duplicate Raspberry Pi, same thing, Raspberry Pi 4, 8 gigs, in the same case, forever ago. |
[99.48 --> 100.64] Just ready to go. |
[101.38 --> 105.62] I swapped everything over, hit the power button, and nothing. |
[106.14 --> 111.78] And I looked at my dead Raspberry Pi, and I realized, oh, there's an SD card in here. |
[111.82 --> 112.90] Oh, Chris. |
[113.30 --> 116.26] I think it might—this is like the first one I ever set up. |
[116.32 --> 119.38] I think maybe it was using that SD card for like slash boot. |
[119.38 --> 126.48] I can't remember anymore, but when I first did this, there was kind of a workaround to get Ubuntu running on the Raspberry Pi 4. |
[126.58 --> 128.02] It was before official support had landed. |
[128.44 --> 132.72] And I think maybe the SD card was used for grub or something like that. |
[133.24 --> 135.70] But I don't know why it would have died while it was running. |
[136.58 --> 139.74] So I'm wondering if something more significant happened, but I just don't know at this point. |
[140.34 --> 141.74] Maybe there was an unattended upgrade. |
[142.60 --> 143.00] Maybe. |
[143.36 --> 144.48] Maybe a live patch. |
[144.84 --> 147.78] You know, I did the whole reboot thing, and of course I'm trying to SSH intuit. |
[147.78 --> 148.80] I can't ping it. |
[148.80 --> 151.62] I can't ping it on the tail scale IP either. |
[152.06 --> 153.06] It seems gone. |
[153.26 --> 158.42] And the worst part of that is it runs a lot of automations in the RV. |
[158.68 --> 167.34] Like all of the lighting, the heating, of course the cooling, a lot of the outdoor stuff, it's all managed by Home Assistant on this stupid Raspberry Pi. |
[168.08 --> 171.28] And so it's like we're running things like animals with switches. |
[172.32 --> 175.72] Yeah, this place went from a five star to about a three and a half, I think. |
[175.72 --> 176.16] Wow. |
[180.74 --> 182.92] You let this guy into your home, Alex, you know. |
[184.12 --> 184.48] Indeed. |
[184.70 --> 188.16] Well, this seems like an appropriate moment to introduce Brent again. |
[188.28 --> 188.76] Hello, Brent. |
[188.84 --> 189.28] How are you? |
[189.42 --> 189.94] Welcome back. |
[190.32 --> 191.04] Thank you very much. |
[191.18 --> 192.28] And what about you, gentlemen? |
[192.86 --> 197.76] Well, actually, we had some feedback at the meetup in Pasadena that we don't introduce ourselves anymore. |
[197.76 --> 204.06] So let's just take a moment for anybody that hasn't worked out that I'm Alex and the other guy is Chris. |
[204.22 --> 204.96] Hey, Chris. |
[205.62 --> 206.68] Hello, everybody. |
[206.88 --> 207.80] Thank you for being here. |
[207.88 --> 208.46] Okay, good. |
[208.52 --> 209.28] Now that's out of the way. |
[209.28 --> 210.88] Welcome to episode 81. |
[211.08 --> 212.28] Now that's out of the way. |
[212.28 --> 221.34] I want to ask you if this has got you thinking about deploying some real hardware in a production system. |
[222.00 --> 222.56] Ooh. |
[222.94 --> 223.98] Throwing shade. |
[225.48 --> 226.42] Fair enough. |
[227.30 --> 231.56] You know, listener Jeff was really the MVP of our West Coast road trip. |
[231.56 --> 239.76] And he sent me home with an Atom-based unit that only draws five watts and it's got two cores, but four gigs of RAM. |
[240.00 --> 243.90] I'm tempted to just build a dedicated home assistant system out of that. |
[244.30 --> 244.56] Why not? |
[244.84 --> 248.46] Well, I just got shipment notification about my home assistant yellow. |
[248.70 --> 250.66] I should be receiving it the Friday of this week. |
[250.78 --> 251.26] I did. |
[251.36 --> 252.10] No, you didn't. |
[252.10 --> 252.86] I have the UPS. |
[253.36 --> 256.22] I've got a UPS tracking number and everything. |
[256.84 --> 257.86] Where's it coming from? |
[258.04 --> 258.50] Guam. |
[258.50 --> 259.06] Guam. |
[260.68 --> 266.36] I think they landed in Texas and then some distribution place in Texas is sending them out from there. |
[266.68 --> 266.72] Right. |
[266.98 --> 267.24] Okay. |
[267.34 --> 274.56] It's so exciting because this marks the second crowd supply thing that I've ever backed that I'm actually going to receive. |
[275.04 --> 275.92] Very excited. |
[276.50 --> 279.80] And so the home assistant yellow is supposed to arrive this Friday. |
[280.52 --> 282.70] The only thing was I kind of wanted to go with something more powerful. |
[283.14 --> 283.36] Yeah. |
[283.36 --> 290.06] Well, I'll tell you what's got me thinking is you often run into these issues when you're on the road remotely and that kind of thing. |
[290.28 --> 290.42] Yeah. |
[290.56 --> 291.48] Almost exclusively. |
[291.70 --> 293.22] Oh, it's so annoying. |
[293.60 --> 297.12] I think you need to embrace IPMI of some description. |
[297.48 --> 299.26] I think that needs to be a requirement for you. |
[299.70 --> 300.36] Oh, interesting. |
[301.00 --> 305.10] Oh, you know, I thought about that for the studio and I agree, but I had not thought about it for the RV. |
