Has anyone used BotKube?
So I've been trying to get botkube to work, but it seems to me like the helm chart documentation is outdated? I've been looking at the values and trying to make things work and it didn't really work for me.. https://github.com/Michaelpalacce/HomeLab/blob/master/cluster/homelab/apps/botkube/helmrelease.yaml is what I tried

How to orchestrate all services on server?
Also for configuration storage and git, I recommend taking a gitops approach to things. You can checkup FluxCD2. Here is my repo for reference https://github.com/Michaelpalacce/HomeLab

Looking for tips / recommendations for new selfhoster
A few suggestions and thinks I wish I knew when I started ( personal opinions incoming ): 1. Get a single well sized server ( I'd go for 8 cpus .. And like more than 16 gigs of ram and 250+ ssd, ideally m.2 nvme ). Don't bother with raspberry pis.. Check my profile for my previous post to see a comparison of raspberry pi cluster and a x86 cluster... 2. Install proxmox to do virtualization 3. The majority of People in this sub hate kubernetes and the minority is scared to speak, but install k3s on the vms you spin up, this way you can scale resources and not worry about some elaborate setup of which containers go to which node and how to setup tls offloading, load balancing and much much much more as kubernetes will handle it for you. ( bonus since you are a devops engineer so you are probably used to kube clusters ) 4. Use Velero to do restic backups to s3 for services that are critical like dbs and password managers etc. 5. Do everything with ansible or GitOps! My personal homelab is here: https://github.com/Michaelpalacce/HomeLab utilizing ansible, flux for GitOps and renovate to keep my services up to date ( note to say my cluster spin up isn't as nice as I want it to be since when provisioning I have a Dependency on some secrets which I do manually.. But this is only first cluster setup ) 6. Setup a VPN and administrative services on the raspberry pi you have lying around. Personally my VPN is on the router but if yours doesn't support it, do that. 7. After you are done setting everything up and you have a backup, format the drives and reinstall the vms and re set everything up. Document the process, write automation scripts until satisfied... I genuinely recommend you do this like 3 times...... 8. Vpn I guess a lot of people like wireguard or adguard home... Doesn't really matter as long as it's not open vpn and it supports multiple threads. 9. Setup nodered for some automation around your new home, you'll love it. 10. Firefly is amazing! 11. Make sure that your CSI ( Container storage interface ) supports replication. Keep 3 replicas of critical volumes! 11. If you need any help, don't forget to ask :) personally shoot me a dm and I'll do my best to help, but I'm sure most of us here would

Can I get different aggregates with a single query?
I've noticed a quite nice feature in Scrutiny, where older disk temp data is lower resolution than recent data. In queries it would probably look like that:

Why does the cronjob not run as root while the manual command works fine?
I cannot look into the scrutiny script. The website recommends "something like"
- Deploy "Scrutiny" issue
- Identifying failed disks in my server
-
HDD-Damage
I would always run the fantastic Scrutiny and set up notifications, so at the very least if some stat changes for the worst you might get a bit of early warning.

Should I trust smartctl or Scrutiny when it comes to S.M.A.R.T monitoring?
Hi. I am trying to understand whether I should trust TrueNAS Scale smartctl tool or Scrutiny (https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny) for S.M.A.R.T results.

It's Wednesday my doods
Quick Google search later to answer my own question, scrutiny seems to be it. That with LibreNMS sounds like a pretty healthy combo.

Is there any docker image I can run that will warn me if any of my disks are in danger of failing anytime soon?
https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny should do the trick
