Turing Pi 2 flashed with no USB cable: rpiboot handshook once and never came back, so the image went onto the BMC's own microSD and flashed over its REST API. 994 seconds a node, byte-exact. Devlog 7: rasputin.geekdojo.com/devlog/007-t... #selfhosted #homelab

Flashing a Turing Pi without the USB cable

Two CM4 modules on a Turing Pi 2 now run stock Rasputin OS 2026.07.6. The documented rpiboot-over-USB path handshook once and never reproduced, so the image went onto the BMC's own microSD card and fl...

An AI quality sweep now runs against Rasputin on a Monday cron. Its first merged PR deleted 11 copies of the same SQLite open sequence. Devlog 6 — the turn-starvation bug, and why it can't merge its own work: https://rasputin.geekdojo.com/devlog/006-first-agent-pr/ #selfhosted #homelab

Rasputin ran cAdvisor only on the control plane, so every node's Containers drawer showed the wrong node's. Devlog 5 — per-node collectors, an mTLS ingress, and the client cert's CN as the node id: https://rasputin.geekdojo.com/devlog/005-per-node-container-visibility/ #selfhosted #homelab

A Pi 5 has no RTC. Ours booted to a baked-in 2025 clock, a dead DHCP DNS server kept timesyncd from correcting it, and the control plane minted its HTTPS leaf against that — expired on arrival. Devlog 4: #selfhosted #homelab

A node with no clock mints an expired certificate

Rasputin's control plane mints its own HTTPS certificate on first boot, and on a Pi 5 with no RTC that certificate came out already expired. A dead DHCP-supplied DNS server kept timesyncd from ever re...

Mainline Linux can't boot a Pi 5 you buy today — current boards are the D0 stepping of BCM2712 and mainline ships no device tree for it. Solid green LED, no output. Devlog 3: the fix is the raspberrypi/linux fork. https://rasputin.geekdojo.com/devlog/003-d0-pi5-mainline/ #selfhosted #homelab

Rasputin roadmap published: what we're building now, next, and later. No dates — order is the commitment; the devlog shows the pace. If the page goes stale, our own CI files an issue against us. https://rasputin.geekdojo.com/docs/roadmap/ #selfhosted #homelab

Rasputin 2026.07.4 stable: observability now turns on from the dashboard — one click rolls log + container-metric collectors to every node over mTLS, into the bundled Grafana/Loki stack. Bench-validated on the 24-node Pi rack. https://rasputin.geekdojo.com #selfhosted #homelab

24 nodes, one control plane. Enrolled a full BitScope rack of Pi 4s into Rasputin: 44 minutes of SD cards, then power-on to all-green in 121 seconds. Time-lapse in the post. https://rasputin.geekdojo.com/devlog/004-bitscope-rack-24-nodes/ #selfhosted #homelab

I found my own SSH key baked into every public Rasputin image. Devlog 1: the timeline, the seed-supplied fix, and the first stable release. https://rasputin.geekdojo.com/devlog/001-your-keys-not-mine/ #selfhosted #homelab
