Look before you leap LOL!

Well, I learned something new today.  I decided to work on what was causing my access issue with Immich and after doing searches on the internet using google it all came down to one line entry in the yml file to correct the issue.  How I discovered it, Discord!  I want to say it has been 2 weeks since it went down after the update, but I did learn a lot in that time up to the final fix.  My docker foo is much stronger now.  What doesn't kill you make you stronger.

Happy Monday!!!!!

Video Server

Well, I have been working on my Plex server the last couple of days.  Just getting some of the videos I have on it and trying to test the viewing of it when there is no internet connection.  The process is convoluted but I have a backup and it is Jellyfin.  It was a little dodgy a couple of years ago, but it has gotten better if I do say so myself.  I can also default to VLC thus the reason for working on the videos.  I had to make sure the name was recognizable when trying to play on VLC.  I have also been working on a alternative to Immich since it has gone to a paid service for any new users which means suggestion it to other people would be out of the question.  I have been looking at photo prism or Libre photos.  I plan to stay with Immich but need something else that works the same way just in case lol.

Interesting day so far

The day has gone by quickly today.  I had a microsoft meeting/training that lasted an hour and watched a couple of AD videos and still feel like the day has been a bust.  I will have to hit the ground running tomorrow.

Here's to tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy couple of weeks

Well, it has been a while, but I have been hard at work get my "stuff" together LOL!  I had to get my rack setup for the one server I have for now as well as work on backing up the computer I am using as a server now.  The computer isn't bad but I am not able to get any GUI programs to run and I need that for my labs.  Not willing to give up the resource light setup of this box to redo it with a GUI.  Besides, I have a lot of services running on it.

I was able to get VMware running on my laptop and setup a lab for pentesting.  At least I can get started on my Linux+ and Security + training as far as being able to run scenarios locally.  Now I need to get the other box setup for AD training and maybe load pfsense for router/firewall analysis.  Also want to get proxmox setup in my lab again.  I have a lot to do and a little time to do it in before the end of the year.  That's my drop dead date for getting Network+ and Linux+ done.  Maybe if the AD setup works out I can fit Server+ in there too.  This is going to be expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
