I recently had to install Raspberry Pi OS on an M.2 NVMe SSD in my Raspberry Pi 5. This was not as straight-forward as I would have liked it to be (as you can’t boot from USB and install directly per se).

It’s been a few years since I made my post about getting Plex GPU transcoding to work in Docker inside an LXC container running on Proxmox. It’s gotten quite a few updates over the years based on feedbacks and own observations, which fixes different problems and optimized several aspects.
I recently upgraded my Proxmox-host to the latest Debian Bookworm 12.10 (Proxmox 8.4.1), and also wanted to update my NVIDIA-drivers from 550.100 to the latest 570.144.
After the upgrade everything seemed to be fine, but Plex transcoding would not work. All my usual previous fixes did not solve the problem. I decided to “start from scratch”, and see if I could a) get it to work, b) simplify the setup, and c) improve where possible.
11 CommentsI recently wanted to update my old Zigbee- and Z-Wave USB adapters that I’ve been using with my Home Assistant setup for some years. I’ve taken a look at the products available, and chosen my replacement products. I’ll attempt to list my reasonings for choosing these products below.
3 CommentsI recently had to get GPU transcoding in Plex to work. The setup involved running Plex inside a Docker container, inside of an LXC container, running on top of Proxmox. I found some general guidelines online, but none that covered all aspects (especially dual layer of containerization/virtualization). I ran into a few challenges to get this working properly, so I’ll attempt to give a complete guide here.
Edit (2025-04-20): I’ve since created a new version of this guide (v2). I recommend that you use the new version. I will not be able to validate any aspects of the old guide, as I’m using the new setup. Also, this version (v1) will probably not get much updates due to this.
38 CommentsUsually I don’t bother installing appropriate (i.e. public/proper) HTTPS/SSL-certificates for management softwares and other “internal” software. However, making parts of Cisco Prime Infrastructure available for “outsiders” can be quite useful, hence I saw the need to install a proper certificate.
I recently had to do this while installing Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.0, so I thought I’d document it, since it’s not as straight-forward as one would think. The last time I did the procedure, was after installing Prime Infrastructure 2.0 almost 2 years ago.
There are basically three steps;
1) Fetch CA + properly convert the certificate
2) Install the CA certificates
3) Install the actual certificate

Recently I came across an issue with Windows DHCP & DNS, specifically related to Cisco AP’s and DDNS. By default Cisco AP’s have period in the hostname (APxxxx.yyyy.zzzz), and this apparently causes issues for Windows DHCP/DNS regarding DDNS. If you have a scope with option 15 (Domain Name) set to foo.bar, and you have clients that only returns option 12 (hostname) and no FQDN (option 81) you’d expect Windows to append option 15 to the hostname. In the case for Cisco AP’s, they seem to only return option 12. You’d then expect Windows DHCP to use APxxxx.yyyy.zzzz.foo.bar as the FQDN for the DDNS update, but this is not the case. In stead, it tries to update the DNS with APxxxx.yyyy.zzzz as the FQDN (where yyyy.zzzz is considered a domain due to the period), hence it will obviously fail, as you don’t have any zone yyyy.zzzz configured in your DNS.
When trying to convert an 1142 AP from LAP to Autonomous AP, I did a mistake. I copied the new IOS (.tar) with the ‘copy’-command. However, I should’ve used the ‘archive /xtract’-command. When I reloaded, the AP presented me with this;

4 CommentsSince I recently configured and installed a MySQL-cluster, I thought I’d share the procedure. A lot of the examples around explains how to set it all up on the same machine for “testing purposes” — which, in theory, is the same as setting it up on different machines. I’ll be explaining the latter, that is, installing it onto different machines.
