Welcome to Tech Updates: #3. You can read the updates below, or watch the video version on YouTube. Embedded here for your enjoyment!
Anyways, on to the updates. Links to relevant YouTube videos if you want to dive deeper. Enjoy!
Research and Learning:
Learned how to connect n8n to my Google APIs and have an LLM write to Google Sheets
Can I build a Cloudflare tunnel for a remote SSH app, or should I just learn Twingate or Tailscale
Future Research to do:
More research on Immich - photo software
Commands to Remember:
ss - tulpn | grep qbittorrent
Improvements:
Re-configured my Twingate Docker container to include host networking. (kinda important if you want to talk to local resources when you are remote)
Updated device names in Google wifi app
Updated DHCP reservations and grouped all of my home lab together with leases
Configured n8n automation to check my email and forward newsletters (that didn’t have easy RSS feeds) to my Discord
Updated .bashrc with better shell prompts and timestamps for commands when using history
Installed Open WebUI in Docker for a graphical front end for Ollama AI models
Rotated the wifi password and identified all devices on the network
Mistakes:
Nextcloud in Docker failed both versions and Postgres 17 & 13.
That’s it for this week’s Tech Update. -Derek
