For the last several years, I have used a Bash script to automate routine maintenance on my SnapRAID array. The original script worked well, but it grew organically. New checks were added as I encountered edge cases, reporting became more complicated, and assumptions that were reasonable for one array became brittle when multiple SnapRAID configurations or shared Docker services were involved....

My drives were running in the mid-40s. Not dangerous, but warmer than I wanted, and the only way to cool them was to set the BMC fan mode to Full — which on a Supermicro 826 means all three mid-wall fans at 7400 RPM, permanently, in a room I sit in. The fix is a script that reads drive temperatures and sets the BMC’s fan duty cycle directly. That part is well-trodden. What made my setup awkwar...

I setup Silo earlier this week. I wanted to sync my watch history, but with Traktv completely crippling their API without a membership, I’ve been hosting Yamtrack for a while now. So, I wanted my existing Yamtrack watch history into Silo, including movies, individual episodes, rewatches, TMDB identifiers, and watch dates. The safest design I could think of was just a read-only one-way Silo wa...

I found Silo in a Reddit comment. Not even the post itself, a comment, three replies deep, in a thread about why Jellyfin gets sluggish once your library crosses some invisible threshold. Someone said “it was the superhero we deserved” and linked a GitHub repo with nine stars (almost 160 now) and no tagged releases. The itch I was scratching I’ve run Plex since roughly forever. I’ve moved thr...

When Docker Breaks WireGuard: A Sneaky UniFi VPN Routing Conflict Last night I decided to move my remote access VPN from a Docker hosted WireGuard instance (wg-easy) in a VM that is hosted on my Proxmox host. This VM has the bulk of my Docker containers, and it felt like it was a better idea to push the VPN access to the edge on my UniFi Fiber gateway. The migration appeared to go perfectly. ...
