Selfhosting is not only very useful, it is also lots of fun.  #selfHost #rpi #odroid #ubiquiti

Captured some detailed notes on my latest hardware creation for remote server access. I mean, who doesn't need to cold boot their home servers from the other side of the planet?

ESP32 as a UART Console and Power Controller - Mark McBride

How to wire up a PoE-powered ESP32 device and program it to control access to UART consoles and power events like reboots.

This has been a fun mini-project. I'll improve the cabling, but the solution is complete. A PoE-powered ESP32 device that monitors the UART consoles of a #RaspberryPi 5 and an #odroid H4 Ultra. It also controls two relays (power switches) to the same two devices. Even cooler, I can use ttyd/xterm.js as a front-end on a socat TCP stream, which means I can access the consoles via the web. It’s like a DIY BMC. The two computers are running #alpinelinux and #FreeBSD. Both work without issue.

With a few cheap parts, you can control the power state of an ODROID H4 entirely remotely. As a bonus, you'll be able to say “optocoupler" at parties and sound cool.

Remote Reboot an ODROID H4 Ultra - Mark McBride

How to wire up an ODROID H4 with an RPi5 to allow hard system power resets, equivalent to physically pressing the power button.

Diese Woche geht es bei @ajfriesen und mir um eine ODROID-H2 Proxmox Farm und Proxmox auf einem M920Q mit Intel AMT. Beides lief, sagen wir mal, rund. 🙃

Dazu noch TLS und Stromsparen im Home Lab.

Viel Spaß beim Hören!

If you're working with #ODROID H4+ and want complete control over your firmware stack, this demo shows exactly what Dasharo (coreboot+UEFI) brings to the table. It walks through hardware bring-up, key #firmware features, and the developer workflow needed to turn this small board into a transparent and maintainable platform. The presentation highlights how open-source firmware improves debuggability, long-term sustainability, and trustworthiness without locking you into proprietary boot paths.
Ich habe hier einen #Odroid C2 gefunden, mit 2 eMMC. Auf einer ist #Arch #Linux, soweit, so unspektakulär. Das updated gerade, war sicher über jahre nicht in Betrieb.
Aber auf der anderen eMMC ist ein #Android drauf. Was zum Henker macht man damit?
Another issue I'm having with the updated #Debian Sid on this #Odroid U3: #zsh is now a bit broken, when spawning it it returns:
`setprompt:14: bad set of key/value pairs for associative array`
And then: `<hostname>% yes`
Which is repeated whenever I hit Enter.
So, finally got the Linux kernel updated on a trusty, old #Odroid U3. Wrote a script now to convert the vmlinuz and initrd provided by Debian to the formats expected by its specific u-boot, with a lot of error checking. Then, still things didn't boot - kernel got so large it'd overlap into the fixed memory position of the initrd. Relatively simple fix, but took some time, too, to get the UART set up again.

I stopped using Raspberry Pi's ever since the RPi Foundation went cray-cray. The last one in service was my Home Assistant controller. It's started hanging, and rather than troubleshoot (who the hell knows where my mini-HDMI cable is), I think it's time to migrate.

Ordered an Odroid M1S today.

Looking forward to dumping the last of my RPI's.
