The keyring bash completion mess on Mac OS

If you’ve done a brew upgradeon an Apple silicon machine recently, you might have ended up with a messed-up keyring completion in /opt/homebrew/etc/bash_completion.d that gives you vanja$ bashusage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode][-o owner] file1 file2install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode][-o owner] file1 … fileN directoryinstall -d [-v] [-g group] [-m …

MinIO displays no objects in the buckets

MinIO works apparently properly, the mc tool lists everything well, but WebGUI shows no objects in the buckets, having the “Loading” bar just spinning at the bottom? The WebScokets proxying is probably not properly set in the upstream NginXs! This works, though: for console: and for data:

Troubles with Istio

Istio would not inject the side-car into a namespace labeled for the injection, for example: a redeployment would fail when forced: the istio-init would fail, as seen in the logs of the pod: with a really sparse Error output: Fortunately, the very container info is a bit more verbose: So, an IPTables-related issue, after all? Yes, RockyLinux, used for this …

NginX reverse proxy for a Jenkins in Nomad issue

I’ve moved a Jenkins instance from a dedicated node into a Nomad cluster ran as a docker, and had a very strange issue with redirections: most of the locations worked, but clicking on “/manage” would lead to “https://jenkins/manage” instead of “https://jenkins.fqdn/manage”, breaking the URL of course. I could not find a root cause in either Internet-facing load-balancer, nor in internal …

Intel NUC

Yet another move in order to save some energy costs and gain some sanity when the main server is shut down in order to stop generating noise happened the other day – most of the nodes are now on an Intel NUC i3, 10th gen. The new toy is equipped with 64G of SO-DIMM DDR4 RAM, and seems to be …

Noisy SEDNA pt.2.

I’ve silenced the noise coming from SEDNA with Noctua fans:The A4x10 are silent, and more than enough to keep this HD rack enclosure finally cool, yet quiet in the rack:The fans that came with SEDNA (the black one in the following picture) could be used for things that do not need to be quiet, while the Noctua’s (beige) are perfectly …

Noisy SEDNA

Just got the Sedna 1U Rackmount USB 3.1 Gen II 10GBP Dual Bay Hard Disk RAID Enclosure, and while waiting for the proper disks, I’ve decided to give it a spin with some spare disks laying around. The appliance seems to be a great way to extend a home NAS, keeping the disks tidily mounted in the rack. However, there …

Saving private MacBook

Some time at late March, Apple pushed several updates for High Sierra, the last announced operating system to be supported on this Mac, and my MacBook Pro (2011, 15″, the dreadful ATi) attempted to start with a totally garbled screen, out of the blue, and barely visible artifacts on the screen in any mode whatsoever. Even if I would wait …

Jenkins and Gerrit Trigger for the win

I had quite a few problems setting the workflow as follows: I’d make a change in ansible files, and push them to a git behind Gerrit Gerrit would trigger Jenkins with the new commit, and Jenkins would apply the linter on the committed files. If all is good, the files are send upstream to Rundeck that than picks the nodes …
