I started playing with Docker in 2016. I am still amazed by its power and simplicity. Being confined at home and kind of bored on this rainy day I resumed hacking a Raspberry Pi with Docker, connected to IPad and now plugging a ScrollPhat I found to monitor cpu, temp and number of docker images running.

These are quick notes which will need to be completed later.

While browsing the Internet I stumbled on the video from the Tech Craft channel on how to connect a Raspberry Pi 4 to an iPad Pro. I’ve been using my iPad Pro 12”9 inches for a bit more than a year now and still trying to perform as much as possible from it, with the ultimate goal of using it as a full replacement for my laptop.

It has been 14 months since I updated this blog. I’ve been kind of busy and a lot happened in the meantime. I’m currently exploring Deep learning and OpenCV on Raspberry. I’ll try to post blogs on a regular basis to keep a trace of my exploration of this topic. See you around.

At the heart of GitHub is an open source version control system (VCS) called Git. Git is responsible for everything GitHub-related that happens locally on your computer.

It has been two years since I updated this blog. I’ve been kind of busy and a lot happened in the meantime. I’m currently exploring privacy and anonymity on Internet. I’ll try to post blogs on a regular basis to keep a trace of my exploration of this topic. See you around.

It’s actually pretty easy to connect an I2C LCD display to the GPIO of the Raspberry PI. This is particularly useful for headless PI, which are used as pure servers, without any external display.

One of my morning rituals is to watch a couple of Ted talks. I do not know if you’re familiar with this site but in short, it aims at spreading ideas from today’s thinkers and researchers. I did not take the time to investigate how they choose their speakers so it might not be objective but almost every video I watched so far stirred my curiosity and generated thoughts.

As I explained in my very first post, I’ve been playing around with jeedom to set-up home automation. As usual I started with a leftover PI3 I had at hand and ended up buying several hundreds of accessories to extend it.

Following my last post, I also want all my other servers to get the events from the UPS and act accordingly.

My PI3 cluster is connected to an APC SmartUPS using a usb cable and I would like to detect a power failure. If power is not restored the server must shutdown when the battery is exhausted. This blog post explains how to install and configure apcupsd.

While looking for ways to monitor containers with open source solutions, I read a very interesting paper from Rancher labs: Comparing Seven Monitoring Options for Docker.

Update 27-sep-2016: Add instructions on auto-mounting and sharing USB key

I’ve been playing around with quite a lot of technologies lately, putting together Raspberry PIs, playing with docker and even more so since the arrival of its new native mac version, deploying docker swarm and initiating an home automation project based on Jeedom.
