  • Fixing a Nvidia driver mismatch that was causing the newest kernel module to not build properly (that might not be the right terminology) and not boot was on my list, as discovered after a node reboot that wouldn’t start.

    It was fairly straightforward, though finding a way to fully remove some of the old DKMS stuff took a bit of digging (manually delete a couple files). The new driver installs went smoothly and the improved GPU passthrough in PVE 9 made the passthrough config tasks pretty quick.

    I also got go2rtc set up and piped my cameras through that instead of having individual connections for things like Home Assistant and Blue Iris NVR. I’m still struggling to get the motion notifications in Home Assistant to work though. Followed a tutorial on (that other site) and got the MQTT message coming in just fine, but the node-red flow isn’t working…an issue with entities, so still some tinkering left to do there.

    Longer exposure is the trick, and framing the shot away from other light sources. The camera doesn’t really matter, as long as you can manually adjust things (try pro mode on a phone), and have it mounted on something that won’t shake during the exposure.

    With that, aurora photos very often aren’t as they would appear to the eye because of that long exposure. They can still get reasonably bright though.
