In the post MikroTik: setting up WireGuard and connecting Linux peers I described how to set up MikroTik as a VPN Hub and connect a peer running on Debian Linux. Setup on Arch Linux is mostly the same as on Debian – but every time I end up digging through this blog and my other… Read More »
Sometimes on FreeBSD you need to run services that aren’t officially supported by FreeBSD, and this post actually came about because I was installing Open WebUI on my NAS – and Open WebUI was easier to set up on Linux. So I spun it up in a FreeBSD Linux jail, and to create the container… Read More »
I’ll write about Hermes Agent itself and what it can do separately – today it’s about how to run it on FreeBSD. Yesterday I played around with it on my Arch Linux – now I want a more production setup. I’ll be running it on my NAS with FreeBSD, and obviously only inside a FreeBSD… Read More »
While I’m working on a series of posts about setting up and using Claude Code, here’s a quick example of building my own AI Agent for VictoriaMetrics and Kubernetes, “wrapping” it into a Claude Code Plugin, and creating my own Claude Code Marketplace where similar plugins for developers on my project will live. The general… Read More »
Continuing with Okta setup for our project. In previous parts we did SSO for Grafana (see Okta: setting up Grafana SSO with OIDC and Role mapping) and AWS (see AWS: setting up Okta SSO with AWS IAM Identity Center), and now the most interesting part: integrating Okta with Google Workspaces. What we’ll need to do:… Read More »
I run a bunch of web services on my home NAS – Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, my own WordPress blog, and half a dozen other small things. The whole series of posts on FreeBSD and NAS starts here – FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1 – setting up ZFS mirror, there are 15 parts as of now. NGINX+PHP… Read More »
In the previous part of the Okta series we set up SSO for Grafana (see Okta: configuring Grafana SSO with OIDC and Role mapping) – now for a more interesting task: configuring SSO for AWS, with not just login but also user provisioning. Okta has a ready-made AWS IAM Identity Center App that lets you… Read More »
Another installment in the FreeBSD Home NAS series, though this one isn’t really about the NAS – it’s purely about running web services. The full FreeBSD/NAS series starts here – FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1 – ZFS mirror setup, which now has 15 parts, but FEMP gets its own post. My FreeBSD host already runs… Read More »
The RTFM migration from DigitalOcean to AWS went smoothly, and I’m gradually settling in. New infrastructure, everything new – so for the first while I want to keep a close eye on the server and blog state, which means setting up basic monitoring for WordPress: NGINX, PHP-FPM, the database, and the infrastructure running it all.… Read More »
We finally “grew up” to using Okta on the current project, so there’s a short series of posts coming up on it. I wrote about Okta before, but that was 5-6 years ago, and there have been some interesting changes since then (see the #okta tag). Today we’ll be configuring SSO login via Okta for… Read More »
