Desktop Setup 2026

#pc #jira #doing

Overview

after desktop-crash-2026 I need to set new things up, I'll track work here

Services

  • [ ] NEED TO SETUP DOCKER WAIT FOR ZFS
  • [ ] speakr
    • took it, and all the "ai" stack off 'phantomlink'
    • it came back with all my data after shifting it around disks
    • [x] need to reverify this after zfs dataset move
  • [x] ollama
    • lazydocker + E to pop a shell
    • [x] validate model migration from boot disk volumes path to zfs
  • [x] whisper_asr
    • up just fine, speakr using it for transcription
  • [x] open-webui
    • corrupted database, not sure what to do
    • new instance... just lose what I had
    • [ ] dad-can-i-wear-this model
  • [x] remove /var/docker-storage-zfs/volumes/ after ollama migration

SSH

Need to update my new ssh config and handles keys. I'll use this as an opportunity to not proliferate tons of keys on my machine. I was making new keys per user per client machine per target machine... I think I'll just go back to ssh'ing as myself and only generate keys per client. ie. from my desktop I'll only need 1 key except in the case of some of my boxes where I setup a different user, so maybe I'll be cleaning up the users on some things as well

  • [x] forgejo
  • [ ] pihole (I dont think this is around anymore, it's the .3 in my old ssh config)
  • [ ] pihole-vpn (is this still around?)
  • [ ] opnsense
    • update admin from dumbledore to nic?
  • [ ] ghost
  • [ ] ghost-vault
  • [ ] router (same config as opnsense, probably dont' need both)
  • [ ] pi3 (this is the real pihole I think)
  • [ ] rootpi3 (config for root user... why not just sudo su when I login?)
  • [ ] miix
  • [x] jetkvm

Data

Plans to build

  • vibe code an observability thing that
    • runs a restore in a container
    • run some kind of setup in that container at least for my shell and neovim and things
  • networking for babyblue-aurora -> aurora transition
  • lament draft posts that are lost
  • ssh keys... lost .skm directory, look if it's copied anywhere otherwise rotate keys and simplify
  • workspace backup everynight... abuse git for this
    • or rsync to external drive, you have zfs on aurora now
  • opencode to address neovim logs
  • switch to zellij?
    • what would have to translate from tmux? probably quite a few keybindings
