Tailscaling git.ht

This [hoot][] you're about to read started its life as a gist of technical minutae I had to discover to Tailscale cloud and on-prem resources. It'd be too boring for me to just publish it, so I thought I'd give a little bit of context as a preamble. I get to rant some and you can simply skip to the technical sections below if you'd rather not indulge me.

Ranty preamble

How much of what AWS gives you do you really truly need? It's become Kubernetes this, Docker that. I rarely question it when contracting because contractors usually arrive after the fact to pick up and carry the pieces. You get to target the infrastructure that may as well have been installed by alients before humankind ascended in Amazon. All in the cloud, can't touch, jumpbox this, terraform that, re-create the world every time you sneeze, etc. It's different when you're hired fo

Importing a Docker container into Proxmox/LXC

Importing the container

For this we are going to be using lxc-create, which comes pre-installed on Proxmox but needs further dependencies to fetch the OCI images from Docker:

apt update && apt -y install skopeo umoci jq

Using iOS to place files onto a CircuitPython [CP] device has been possible for several years: https://blog.adafruit.com/2019/09/19/program-circuitpython-devices-with-iphone-ios-13/ https://learn.adafruit.com/use-circuitpython-devices-with-iphone-ipad/copy-edit-paste

However, iOS doesn't support USB CDC, so there is no REPL or serial capability.

Goal:

A "traveling light" configuration for setting up and using CircuitPython Web Workflow without a large computer. Basic ingredients would be an iPhone, one or two small CP microcontrollers (QT Py ESP32-S2 for example, but perhaps including a device without native-USB, like ESP32-C3 or ESP32), and assorted accessories.

	/*This is sketch for internal temperature sensor ESP32 CPU.
	* The main ideas are:
	* to ignore 53.3 (128 before converting to Celsius);
	* WiFi must be connected, if else you'll get 53.3 (128) only.
	*
	* Tested in AI Thinker ESP32 Cam module. Can be add to standard camera example in Arduino.
	* While ESP32 Cam module was idle - the temperature was around 47*C.
	* While camera video stream was on - the temperature was rising to around 57*C.
	* See temperature values in serial monitor at 115200.
	* Best regards, Anton S
