So I had mentioned previously that I was looking for a new server to help reduce the overall electric usage in the apartment. Unfortunately, I live in an area with progressive electric bills and I was well on my way to having a $1000 monthly electric bill by the end of the summer. I did […]
Hello again! It’s definitely been a while since I’ve posted something. A lot has been going on with work and at home, some of which I’ll share in upcoming posts. One of the new forays I’ve made has been to look into solving some work problems using Microsoft’s SharePoint Framework. Using SharePoint Designer or InfoPath […]
So there I was…isn’t that the way it usually starts out with these things? My desktop PC is a great beauty. I built her in late 2018 to provide a solid baseline for light development, gaming, and virtualization with VMware Workstation. She has an Intel i9-9900K processor with 64GB of GSkill TridentZ RGB 3200 memory. […]
So we all know the pain that is keeping multiple systems patched and updated throughout the month. If you have the *pleasure* of having to do that manually, then I may have a possible solution for you. Ansible is an Open Source project overseen by RedHat and the basic tooling is available for free. Originally […]
So as I was building my #HomeLab Horizon infrastructure (again), I decided to go with the latest 2103 release. As mentioned previously, I planned to host my events database in a Kubernetes-hosted database server. I was getting ready to deploy the MS SQL Server pod when I came across an interested note in the Release […]
So I decided to go back and build a simple small “native” Kubernetes cluster on my #HomeLab network. I’m using my NFS server as my Cluster Master node. I created another 2 nodes using Ubuntu 20.04. I looked into using VMware’s NSX Container Plugin as my CNI provider. However, the configuration process was a little […]
Well, I’m learning a painful lesson about running a #HomeLab environment 24/7: Electricity is Expensive! I had always heard electricity was more expensive in Korea, but after 3 consecutive months of a higher electric bill (well above average) I’m now a believer. Unfortunately, I need to find a way to cut the bill before the […]
So one of the nice little surprises after upgrading my desktop to Windows 10 20H2 (Fall 2020 Build) was the addition of a native OpenSSH client in PowerShell. I need to do some testing with all of my use cases, but I may be able to do away with the venerable PuTTY that has been […]
So there I was looking for which accounts I created on my test VMs. Because, of course, I didn’t use the same account name on all of the test clients. That would have made too much sense. With some of the changes to Windows 10 20H2 that I’ll talk about in another posting, I thought […]
This is the 4th part of my multi-part series on setting up SAML Authentication using the VMware Workspace ONE Access product. In this article, I will quickly cover the Secure Sockets Layer (or SSL) configuration I will be using. If you missed my earlier posts, you can review them here: Part 1: Preparation Part 1.5: […]
