Updates in 2025

In early 2025, I began moving virtually all of my workloads into a k8s cluster. I have put some basic notes on frigate in k8s here.

Beyond that, the section below about installing the coral.ai edge TPU drivers is now out of date and has been revised.

The Frigate NVR project is a relatively new entrant to the home security camera DVR space. Like most immature yet popular software, it has a killer feature - very good object detection that just works™ and robust Home Assistant integration.

Systemd Resolved With Consul Agent

I pieced this technique together a while back and created a gist for it. I’m creating this post as a pointer to that gist so I have something that’s a bit easier to reference and refer others to.

And i want to test out the hugo shortcode for embedding a gist :smirk:.

The really short version:

Create a dedicated interface that can only be accessed from the local system
Bind the consul-agent’s DNS service to this local only interface
Tell systemd-resolved that all hostnames with the .consul TLD can be resolved via a DNS server on this local interface

No need to disable resolved and replace it with dnsmasq :smile:
