#Homelab week from hell 🥲
1. Longhorn v1.11.0 latest release has memory leaks. Fix exists but isn't in a proper release yet ; you need to manually swap to v1.11.0-hotfix-1 images AND disable the pre-upgrade checker... which blocks the hotfix because it thinks it's a downgrade.

I already upgraded my #homelab and migrated one ingress to use ListenerSet.
Now I can stop manually managing Certificates and rely on cert-manager annotations on the ListenerSet instead.
And I no longer need to update the Gateway every tim…
I'm so happy to see Gateway API v1.5.0 and cert-manager v1.20.0 released with ListenerSet (GEP-1713) now available.
This is a game changer for multi-tenant clusters!

This would have been much simpler if KubeSpan allowed overriding WireGuard's listenPort per node.
Instead of the whole extraAnnouncedEndpoints + filters workaround, I could just override WireGuard ListenPort: 5182x per node and do a simple…
Also found a weird bug with Kubespan config `FilterIPs` processes rules sequentially, so ["!ip/32", "0.0.0.0/0"] silently does nothing. The deny has to come after the allow.
But when a tunnel drops and the OVH node needs to re-establish the connection, it only knows <home_isp_ip>:51820 for all peers. It can't distinguish them, so recovery is unreliable and causes flapping.
Fix: a unique port forward per node (…
I run a Talos Linux cluster with some nodes at home and only 1 edge baremetal at OVH, connected via KubeSpan (WireGuard mesh).
All home nodes share the same public IP and advertise the same endpoint `<home_isp_ip>:51820` to the remote peer…

2. Cilium v1.19 upgrade triggers "cannot allocate memory" on neighborsmap creation, kills host networking.
Node becomes completely UNREACHABLE (bricked) and I had to fresh install it. Only hit my edge node.
Rolled back to 1.18.6 for now.
