Posted on August 23, 2023 by larry

I thought I been sleeping OK but fitbit says I am restless.

I agree, needed couple of naps today.

Also found out Carly my PT is leaving, so sad, wanted to show her I lost weight.

Anyway goal is still there.

Hoping to get some of that medication that worked for me in the past.

Lungs kind of need it.

Smoke In Air

Posted on August 20, 2023 by larry

Air quality is bad,

It is making my breathing bad.

On the IT front, I updated my build processes to Rocky 9.2 for both the server and MATE desktop builds.

So things are on hold a bit.

But I did figure out how to embed a binary file like a tar ball into a bash script to be reconstituted when run.

Productive Day

Posted on August 19, 2023 by larry

Got 12k steps and 10 floors today, but it also got a bunch of household chores done.

Got only 1 machine upgraded to Rocky 9 but I did clean the cars with a new pressure washer.

Kind of tired, got half my steps done at park run and met a sales person for brooks. She confirmed my hat is a brooks hat.

Upgrading to Rocky 9

Posted on August 18, 2023 by larry

I got a few more machines to upgrade to Rocky 9. Focused on getting machines off of my old ESXi box so I can power it off.

On that ESXi host I have 8 machines left and the are all CentOS 7, no windows, no Rocky 8, all C7.

Forgot to mention yesterday my knee hurt walking, so taking some time to rest today.

Walking Bellevue

Posted on August 17, 2023 by larry

First time I walked to get my steps in Bellevue. I was already apssed, around 6300 so I did not need more than half.

Was a nice walk, took it easy, but I did get some hills.

Need to work on a plan though.

Party At Park for Work

Posted on August 16, 2023 by larry

Today I finally saw a bunch of coworkers at a company sponsored picnic.

It was too hot to do much of anything though. We kind of just chatted with each other.

Was fun.

I don’t believe the scale but it is what it is.

Hot, Sticky, and Miserable

Posted on August 14, 2023 by larry

Summer days are here temps are easily in the 90s.

Been miserable at home. Gym was better, at least it had AC.

Got some VMs off of my old ESXi host. All the non-RPM based VMs are off.

UniFi Controller on Rocky 9

Posted on August 13, 2023 by larry

I figured it out, how to install Unifi Controller on Rocky 9.

Going to post something better on my tech site but here is a summary

First install the legacy version of mongodb

wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.24.tgz
cd /usr/local
tar zxvf ~/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.24.tgz
mv mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.24 mongodb

Then install some needed extras (not sure if needed but I installed them)

dnf -y install httpd mod_ssl java-1.8.0-openjdk

Next download and install unifi

cd
wget https://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/7.2.92/UniFi.unix.zip
cd /opt
unzip ~/UniFi.unix.zip
useradd -r ubnt 
chown -R ubnt:ubnt UniFi 
cd /opt/UniFi/bin
rm -f mongod 
ln -s /usr/local/mongodb/bin/mongod

Create a systemd startup file

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/unifi.service<<EOF
[Unit]
Description=UniFi AP Web Controller
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=ubnt
WorkingDirectory=/opt/UniFi
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -Xmx1024M -jar /opt/UniFi/lib/ace.jar start
ExecStop=/usr/bin/java -jar /opt/UniFi/lib/ace.jar stop
SuccessExitStatus=143

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Finally start it and open up a firewall port

systemctl daemon-reload 
systemctl start unifi
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --add-port=8443/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

Works for me.
