So here is a thing… with Azure one can have a custom domain attached to a App Service where one’s Word Press is hosted. It’s very straight forward on how to do this for your App Service. And indeed for a domain that one owns this is simple to setup. Azure creates a CNAME and TXT dns records for one to push forward a domain or sub-domain to the Azure App Service (you know that horrible url that ends with “azurewebsites.net”). And this all works…. mostly. It would appear initially that Permalinks can not be updated to point to the subdomain… Yes that thing in the WP general settings… So…

Ok, what the hell is Azure ScottGeek Technology thing at test.scottgeek.technology? Well, after the massive down on my servers… and after the re-build(that is always fun), it is now time for me to finally use all of that Cloud knowledge to use. The test site (this site actually) is hosted on Azure. Yes one can do WordPress on Azure. I will be doing some testing here before I move and go the main site. This is the first step into the cloud with a site container with a WordPress site deployed. As it turns out doing this in Azure is very simple…. Now cloning my site from one host to…

Yes yes – my site has been “off-line” Seems the massive proxmox server developed a … we will call it “hardware issue”? Well as I try to find a good backup of my VM… here we are. Looks like I will need to re-build the “massive”- as proxmox seems to have “eaten” itself… Yeap, not a hardware— it’s something else! Oh how I do live linux… ~SG  

On a trip to update my Plex Server… I want to move it to the new Raspberry PI 5… What could go wrong? Ok, here we go… The assumption to start with is that you have your Raspberry setup and are at a terminal/ssh window (there are lots of step by step instructions on the web to get you there). Needless to say, you need the hardware and os setup before you start here. Step 1. Make sure your raspberry is up to date with the sudo apt update/upgrade (apt-get is shown here) sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Step 2. You have to have the https protocol available on…

Indeed, system operations (a.k.a. a typeof(OPS)), seems to consume time and effort no matter how much one thinks one has it right. Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from being the absolute know-it-all, but I do try to get most things correct- well at least in the 1st 5 tries. So, System OPS… what’s up, or sometimes down?  I’ve been on a path to stop using my “heavy iron” (also known as the enterprise rack servers I have in my home lab) as a single server with a single OS installed. Instead I’m going down the path of doing VM servers (Linux or Windows) hosted on a Proxmox platform.  For…

Yes indeed, a new year… and where have all the tech posts ? Let’s see, been way too busy moving, holidays, fixing and messing up my servers and my  web sites and … The short of it… my old web servers were slight damaged in the move… go figure. And it did take a bit getting all of that setup in the new lab. Other changes: Moved off of Go Daddy- the nickel and dime me got old. Moved to another registrar. VM’ed my web servers- yes it’s time to move off the old servers and into the modern world. So obliviously we’re on bigger newer faster servers. And as…

Here were are long ago from my last post and what do I do?  Yes, complain about Visual Studio 2022 and MS removing yet again the only real coding style I… use? Yes, that thing one does when one creates a Constructor for a Class to set a private read only variable that is not “this.whatever” but using the camel case “_whatever”. Now I get it… it’s a style… not everyone like the _whatever variables when one does something like Dependency Injection… Ok I have no problem with that… The complaint here… is everything almost when MS releases yet another update to VS 2022- they reset my code style! Really!…

I’m  back! Well mostly… ScottGeek

It’s been a very season the last couple of months… and I’ve not been able to get back to blogging like I’ve wanted to… So now, I’ve got a crap load of topics I want to write about… Indeed yes. Time to spend a few hours a day getting my list up and going. ~SG  

So, yes I’ve not been posting as much. It’s been a very busy time with doing some Raspberry PI things… teeth problems… you know the normal stuff where posting kind of falls off a bit. Oh, yeah… I’ve also been working at moving over one of my sites to Blazor (that should be interesting considering how mush I dislike CSS). Ok, I’ll be back soon.. ~SG
