Cross VLAN traffic with a UDM/UDM-Pro and Apple Airplay on Sun, Aug 30, 2020

Background As a follow on from a previous post I discussed how to enable the IGMP Proxy in the USG product line to permit cross VLAN mDNS traffic. In the UDM/UDM-Pro line its a bit different. There is config.gateway.json file anymore. There are multiple workarounds out there to run Docker contaienrs to add in extra functionality, however this is not one of them.
If you are looking to bypass your AT&T gateway then you will need to head down the Docker path, but if you are looking for just Airplay across VLAN’s you have arrived at the correct article.

Background As a follow on from a previous post I discussed how I locked down VLAN’s from a IoT VLAN to my core data VLAN. In that post I described how I got my Sonos speakers and Sonos controller to work over locked down VLAN’s. I recently hooked up an old Apple Airport Express and music wouldn’t flow when I was on the data VLAN to the IoT VLAN where the Airport Express resided.

Background At home I run the 4 port USG router on my Unifi’ed network. I have a couple different VLAN’s, Data, Management, Security, IoT, and Guest. Each of these networks already has some policies that prevent some of the VLAN’s talking to each other. For example I have some firewall rules that prevent my security cameras from talking to the IoT network and talking out to the public Internet. For the past couple months I haven’t been running a locked down IoT network.

Background Ever since I have switched over to Ubiquiti’s Unifi setup for my home I have been searching for a way to eliminate AT&T’s residential gateway from my setup. I have AT&T Fiber and I detest AT&T’s residential gateway. I won’t go into the reasons now but just know the list is almost endless. It would be great if AT&T just allowed you not to use that if you have a router of your own.

Most people do not think about backups or want to take the time to set one up or spend the money. Boy is that a mistake… Most people (myself included) are in that boat and they realize they need to backup their data after its too late and they have lost that precious photo of their baby being born.
There are multiple methods for backing up your data, they range from a thumb drive to remote backup.

I haven’t posted in awhile because I have taken a new role at IBM and helped lead the development of the new IBM Bluemix Container Service that allows you to run managed Kubernetes clusters on IBM.
For a little background, IBM has introduced a managed Kubernetes Service, for more information please read the announce post here.
Cabin is a pretty cool mobile app that lets you manage your Kubernetes cluster through your Android or iPhone.
Cross Compiling Golang with a Docker Alpine Container on Mon, Dec 19, 2016

Recently at work I have been struggling with building a small/minimized Docker container of a Go app I have been working on. I started with busybox but it has a major short coming… CA certificates. It isn’t trivial to get CA Certs on a busybox container. This problem effectively prevents you from using SSL or TLS with your app… This is a non-starter…
Enter Alpine I was doing some reading and I have seen a couple articles mention Alpine, its effectively a slimmed down version of busybox but it makes it trivially easy to install packages, in my case CA Certificates!

Setting up the site First to get started you need to install Hugo.

I am finally back with my blog, sorry it has been quite awhile. I just recently finished a migration of my blog my running on Wordpress, which was hosted on WPEngine and is a really awesome service, to Github pages. I got tired of using Wordpress and WPEngine cost me about $30/month… So I decided to migrate the site to Github pages where I can run the site for free.

Following up from my previous post, Canonical recently dropped support for lucid64 which is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. This affects Cloud Foundry as lucid64 is the basis for most buildpacks. In Cloud Foundry lucid64 is being phased out for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which is known as cflinuxfs2 in Cloud Foundry.
Getting stacks in org [email protected] / space dev as [email protected] OK name description lucid64 Ubuntu 10.04 cflinuxfs2 Ubuntu 14.04.2 trusty The PHP buildpack will take the default system buildpack and right now in Bluemix it is lucid64.
