Home network – TestBlog

Keeping up

I’ve replicated a goodly bit of build infrastructure at the home front now and have poked holes into the LAN so it is available to the outside world. It’s a bit exciting if you’re into this kind of thing.

Confluence:: http://fales.wales:8899/
Stash:: http://fales.wales:7990/
Jenkins:: http://fales.wales:8888/
Tomcat:: http://fales.wales:8080
Apache:: http://fales.wales
Artifactory:: Need to set up port forwarding first

I still haven’t decided on the bug/issue tracking software I want to use. I’ll probably fork over the $10 for the Jira 10 user license. After all, I’ve already forked over $20 for the Confluence and Stash licenses. Having an issue tracker is going to be way nicer than trying to load the whole of a project into my brain whenever I get a chance to work on things.

Another cool thing I discovered is that Confluence now has Evernote integration. Damn it’s good to be an Atlassian Gangsta.

Audio Archives Down

In an unfortunate power-surge incident, the machine hosting the audio files had its OS borked. The audio files themselves are kosher, fortunately, but the drive hosting the OS now has more bad sectors than Detroit. Bad enough to turn a 40GB drive into a measly 8.5GB of storage. Definitely time to get a new HD. Until then, the music shop is closed…

Simple Home File Server Based On Ubuntu

Simple Home File Server Based On Ubuntu | HowtoForge – Linux Howtos and Tutorials is a nice little howto article that netted me a file server to use for daily backups. Elz’s hard drive melting down last weekend finally got my ass in gear to put this together. Of course, not before she lost all of her email and address book. I was able to save the photos and music collection though. Hooray for partitions!

At any rate, if’n you’re looking for a quick and dirty network file server, you could do a lot worse than this. OTOH, if’n you’re looking for a micro-powered, highly tailored file server, you can probably do a lot better. All I know is that I now have all of our machines dumping nightly backups to a file server, and have the foundation for a home media center once I get myself together for that project.
