In this blog post I'm going to cover how to contribute to a project, hosted on Github by performing a pull request.
For those of you who know me and those of you who don’t, it won’t come as a surprise that I’m not a developer and I will never claim to be one. So, when I decided I wanted to learn how to contribute to a project on GitHub what better way to do this than to write a blog post about it.
This post will walk through the steps create a remote mount between two Synology NAS arrays. Why would you want to do this? Well, read on...
It’s no mystery that I run a homelab for personal and work purposes. I’m also lucky to own two Synology NAS arrays. My first NAS unit is a DS414. It’s a bit old, but it continues to hum along nicely. I need to make some time to upgrade the firmware on it. It’s still back on the 6.x firmware. As of the time I’m writing this post the latest firmware is 7.1.x. Stay tuned for post on how to do the upgrade. My other NAS unit is a DS1821+ This unit is great. This unit is running the latest firmware. It has eight drive bays and supports adding an external expansion unit. This means the maximum volume size supported is a whopping 108 TB!! I don’t see myself ever expanding to that size. But it’s nice to know I can.
This post will cover how to update an ESXi host to 7.0u3k from 7.0u3d using vSphere Lifecycle Manager.
Recently, I ran into an issue where I really needed to get my vSphere homelab upgraded to version 7.0U3k. More on why this was so urgent in a future post. However, I was still back on 7.0U3d. To get to 7.0U3 I used vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM). In case you missed it, vSphere Lifecycle Manager is built into vSphere 7.
This is my personal blog about technical topics including virtualization, storage, networking, backups, and some random IT stuff that strikes my fancy.
