Setup proxmox-csi-driver in K3S Kubernetes Cluster using FluxCD

Setup proxmox-csi-driver in K3S Kubernetes Cluster using FluxCD
Currently, I have small, two-node sandbox k3s cluster on my Proxmox homeserver. It is great for testing new things in Kubernetes ecosystem, but currently i’m missing one thing that is pretty awesome on “real” cloud environments with managed Kubernetes services - additional persistent volumes. Of course, I can use local-path to get persistent storage in my cluster, but it would be cool to attach separate virtual disks per pod. That’s when i found proxmox-csi-driver.

Noob is trying to build Android kernel 4.14.x

At the beginning of this article, i would like to mention that i’m a noob when it comes to android custom kernel or ROM development, so some of these information may be obvious to some of you, but it was relatively hard to find one place with up-to-date information on this topic. Backstory - why i want to compile the kernel for my phone?

If you want to dualboot linux+chromeos i would sugest to stick with Eupnea on external storage, like fast SD card or USB stick. What do i need? Some patience Two USB drives - one with UEFI compatible linux of your choice - I will install EndeavourOS via Ventoy because i’m too lazy to configure a decent looking arch desktop on my own, and a second one to backup stock firmware.

Project Eupnea - native linux for chromebooks
UPDATE 2023-08-07: Eupnea Project has been discontinued, new install of Depthboot are not recommended, if you can, just use UEFI + audio fixes. Also their Discord and Github was compromised. If you are currenty using Depthboot it is recommended to remove their repository from package manager list. Let me start with that - second-hand chromebooks are awesome value for cheap, long-lasting battery, portable Netflix and SSH machine. I’ve got my Chromebook about a year ago for 55 USD, it is a HP Chromebook 11a G6.

How to use Backblaze B2 as primary storage in Nextcloud

How to use Backblaze B2 as primary storage in Nextcloud
To setup B2 as primary storage in Nextcloud you of course need to install NC first. For that, I used setup-nextcloud.php script - it is a nice, quick way of deploying nextcloud on shared hosting. Normally i would recommend setting it up as a docker container, but that will also work for testing. While installing Nextcloud just pick default storage place for now. Creating bucket in Backblaze If you don’t already have Backblaze account, you can register here.
