- More reliable smart plug on panel light - SAD lamp timer
2025-12-31Configure OIDC for Home AssistantJoe Mou
Replaces unmaintained header authentication behind oauth2-proxy. Add OIDC client for Home Assistant: - Callback URLs: https://ha.mou.fo/auth/oidc/callback - Public Client To link OIDC credentials with the existing joe user, temporarily set: auth_oidc.features.automatic_user_linking = true; See https://github.com/christiaangoossens/hass-oidc-auth/blob/main/docs/configuration.md#migrating-from-ha-usernamepassword-users-to-oidc-users Must login through either: - https://ha.mou.fo/auth/oidc/welcome - https://ha.mou.fo/auth/oidc/redirect Injecting directly into the landing login page is pending https://github.com/christiaangoossens/hass-oidc-auth/issues/19

2025-12-24Upgrade to NixOS 25.11Joe Mou
The auth_header Home Assistant custom component has been removed. For now we use the last package from: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/7f88a8b9efaf0e08e63e3806b2b3f42fd83fde91/pkgs/servers/home-assistant/custom-components/auth-header/package.nix
2025-12-24Do not override nix.settings.build-dirJoe Mou
NixOS 25.11 contains Nix 2.30 which now builds to /nix/var/nix/builds, which is not space constrained like the previous default of /tmp. To perform the upgrade to NixOS 25.11, we first must unset our build-dir from a world writable directory. See https://github.com/nixos/nix/issues/13701
2025-12-24make upgradeJoe Mou
2025-12-24Fix HA automation for minutes instead of hoursJoe Mou
2025-12-24yakatak serviceJoe Mou
Getting the right permissions set on the socket is quite awkward. Perhaps listening on a port would have been preferable. systemd socket activation would require us to support file descriptor handoff (which would need to be changed in Nitro).
2025-12-24make upgradeJoe Mou
2025-09-02make upgrade, remove broadcom_sta WiFiJoe Mou
broadcom_sta WiFi driver is considered insecure. We weren't using WiFi anyway, so remove it. It may be possible to use Broadcom open source drivers for our BCM4360, but these may only support newer hardware. Also use allowUnfreePredicate to explicitly whitelist packages.
2025-09-02Minimal n8n serving (no HTTPS)Joe Mou
2025-09-02Avoid nixpkgs.config.packageOverridesJoe Mou
Apparently packageOverrides are deprecated by overlays. Overlays apparently can "increase eval time". If intel-vaapi-driver is a "leaf" package then we can use the overridden package instance without replacing it in nixpkgs. It seems like the only place this package should be referenced is from hardware.graphics.extraPackages, and not as a dependency of other packages. See https://discourse.nixos.org/t/overriding-a-package/59565
2025-09-02Properly set nix build-dirJoe Mou
We had been setting TMPDIR for nix-daemon, but nixos-rebuild does not use that. Use the newer build-dir setting instead. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/293114#issuecomment-2663470083
2025-09-02make upgradeJoe Mou
2025-07-01Unattended local backupsJoe Mou
Needs /var/secrets/restic to be manually provisioned. Based on ~/.dotfiles/restic/run, as a starting point. Backing up /srv/Attic is huge (100s of GBs), redundant (same hard drive), and slow (hours). It probably makes sense to mirror it instead. The repo password is stored on the same hard drive in plaintext, which means our repo is not secure at rest. This is a bigger issue with the initial setup without full disk encryption, so we choose not to address it; however, this does expose all backups whereas previously just this server was exposed. The most important remaining tasks are to mirror the restic backups remotely, and to automate on a timer.
2025-06-27Configure ytdl-subJoe Mou
Not a big fan. It's obtuse to configure, the implementation is complicated (relative to just using the yt-dlp CLI), and difficult to debug. We would probably still need some additional automation to get the file layout we want. It might be more straightforward to just write our own automation on top of yt-dlp.
2025-06-27Stripped down git hosting with cgit and git-shellJoe Mou
Advantages over Gitea (and most other git forges): - Arbitrary repository hierarchies. - Repository aliases with symlinks. - No metadata to keep synchronized with repositories; simple automation. Create new repos like: $ sudo -u git git init --bare -b main /srv/git/2025/calmux.git Ideally we would not require authentication for whitelisted public repos. This is difficult with oauth2-proxy because to disable auth_request we need a new location clause which does not "inherit" the FastCGI configuration. Perhaps we could use cgit's built-in auth-filter. Considered gitolite instead of git-shell (which would allow multiuser authentication). This probably requires configuring each repo which complicates automation.
2025-06-16Upgrade to NixOS 25.05Joe Mou
2025-06-16make upgradeJoe Mou
Set boot.loader.grub.configurationLimit to avoid running out of space on /boot
2025-06-16Switch to flakesJoe Mou
2025-06-16Default web serving to UTF-8Joe Mou
2025-06-16Revert auth to ZitadelJoe Mou
Still don't love it but let's get things into a working state. Promising next steps: - Authlib (Python) - oidc-provider (Javascript) - Vouch Proxy, Ory Oauthkeeper, or IdP built-in forward auth Look at [[Authentication]]
2025-06-16Try setting up glauth LDAP, for some reasonJoe Mou
If we wanted an LDAP server, glauth seems like a pretty good pick. It's lightweight and can be configured entirely by a stateless text config (it also supports a sqlite backend; it doesn't appear they can be used together though). But do we really benefit from an LDAP server? It could help set up services that have LDAP authentication but not OIDC (most services that use oauth2-proxy). Perhaps we'll revisit this. glauth docs are spotty, but these are relevant for the config file: - https://glauth.github.io/docs/file.html - https://github.com/glauth/glauth/blob/master/v2/sample-simple.cfg Nix has envsubst and replace-secret to include secrets in the config. Information on setting up MFA: https://www.couchbase.com/blog/multi-factor-authentication-mfa-2fa/ If we bind to an address besides localhost we should also set up LDAPS.
2025-06-16In progress attempt to use Dex for OIDCJoe Mou
Dex really doesn't want to be the authoritative identity provider. Static users are not very configurable. The sub claim is a base64 internal representation that we can't use in backends directly. We could jury rig email, but never got that working. Basic authentication works, but Home Assistant fails to login the user.
2025-06-16Fix /srv/syncthing ACLsJoe Mou
Disable home directory creation, which clobbers directory permissions. Interestingly, after the ACLs are added the classic directory permissions appear as 770; but happily it works fine. Tip off was from https://discourse.nixos.org/t/home-facl-is-always-reset-in-21-05/13408 Also tried setting the ACL mask which wasn't the issue.
2025-06-16Replace iOS Mobius Sync with SynctrainJoe Mou
2025-04-21Komga for OPDSJoe Mou
Heavyweight for what I need and too opinionated about organization. OPDS layout is overcomplicated. Also tried Kavita but didn't like it (don't remember why). Still needs SSO. May try a simple OPDS-only server or build.
2025-04-16Squelch Home Assistant aiohomekit exceptionsJoe Mou
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aiohomekit'
2025-04-16Remove danb/rss and host Miniflux on https://mf.mou.foJoe Mou
We still want SSO. It seems most promising to register Miniflux as an OIDC client, but this is pending switching to a different identity provider. Alternatively we could use oauth2-proxy and configure AUTH_PROXY_HEADER. We would want to bypass for API endpoints: - /accounts/ClientLogin - /reader/api/
2025-04-16Use ACLs to grant user access to /src/syncthingJoe Mou
2025-04-16Initial garage serviceJoe Mou
We don't want to use Nix for deployment because it's slow. Code must be manually deployed to /opt/garage.
2025-04-09Try minimal danb/rss aggregatorJoe Mou
Probably won't keep this, but playing with OCI containers and XSLT were interesting. Converting Feedly OPML to feeds.txt: $ nomad @xmlstarlet select -T -t -m '//outline[@type="rss"]' -v ./@xmlUrl -o $'\t' -v ./@title -o $'\t#' -v ../@text -o $'\n' Downloads/feedly-093988c0-b9a0-4bb7-97dc-6946128b509e-2025-03-30-d63a70cb-archive/subscriptions.opml | awk -F'\t' -v OFS=' ' '{gsub(/ /, "_", $2); gsub(/ /, "-", $3); $1=$1; print}'
2025-04-09Miniflux RSS aggregatorJoe Mou
Have not allocated the mf.mou.fo subdomain yet while testing the app. BASE_URL seems nonessential, but at least fixes the API endpoint given. To create the initial admin user: $ sudo -u miniflux env DATABASE_URL='user=miniflux host=/run/postgresql dbname=miniflux' miniflux -create-admin The UI is quite clunky. In particular it is very easy to get lost navigating between article list and detail views. It would also be nice to force opening articles on the external site (for Phoronix). Fetching original content (instead of using the RSS content) is nice though. To integrate with oauth2-proxy, probably need to set AUTH_PROXY_HEADER.
2025-04-09syncthing: Synctrain for iPad, add Steam Deck extra/Joe Mou
Still need to remove Möbius and migrate iPhone to Synctrain also. This should also properly set /srv/syncthing group permissions.
2025-04-08Tweak panel light automationsJoe Mou
Cooler midday color temperature and throttle reinitialization.
2025-04-08Synchronize /user served by nginx with SyncthingJoe Mou
Add ACLs for nginx that only allow read access. This is more limited than allowing all users read access to /srv/syncthing, or adding nginx as a writable user to the syncthing group.
2025-02-26Panel light reinitialize HA automationJoe Mou
Untested but ported from old HA config in commit 25f26a29a6255c5fe3ccf0ffa11f630bd63c60df

2024-11-17Update redlibJoe Mou
Fixes https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib/issues/229 Overrides Rust package per https://blog.mplanchard.com/posts/installing-a-specific-version-of-a-package-with-nix.html It appears packageOverrides are actually deprecated by overlays. See https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Overlays
