Moved

I took this opportunity to do a couple of house-keeping things, including simplifying my DNS setup.

As such, here’s an updated graph:

.dot source

The bottom part (“LAN”) is the same as last time (I moved the containers to a new host, but that’s not important.) In the top part, I got rid of the non-Incus dnsmasq service, as well as the unbound instance running on the host. The “unbound” instance running in a container is now replacing both.

Other things I did:

• Used volumes more.
  This should allow me to recreate containers as-needed without worrying about configs/data.
• Speaking of recreating containers: ensured most containers/profiles are created via script.
• Reviewed/cleaned config files for all services.
• Converted strongswan configs from deprecated ipsec.conf to swanctl.conf
• Ensured the incus network is managed (the previous one wasn’t).
• Deleted old containers that were stopped for a while.
• Partitioned the root disk of the VPS into two partitions: one for root, and one for incus storage.
• Took a final offsite backup of profiles/volumes/instances before deleting everything.

Over all, things went pretty smoothly. It’s nice to be running in an environment that feels new, clean and fresh.
