Process Replace the failed disk/SSD or zpool rpool offline if repairing boot on one you already zfs replaced but didn’t know about repairing boot for proper redundancy Run proxmox-boot-tool clean to remove traces of the failed disk from boot devices #if you don'...

Intro I’ve been using NUT to manage and monitor my non-networked UPS and even one using SNMP for some time but never had any good alert method. Recently thought what if I could get discord alerts?

About this project I am an avid follower of TechnoTim and recently he posted his ansible k3s playbook to deploy an HA k3s cluster with etcd. This didn’t include automating the deployment of Traefik as well as Rancher to better suit those who just wanted k3s. I wanted to expand on that for my own use and decided to share it as well. I have the repo on my github. Requirements You need th...
