I bought a Blynclight PLUS busylight from Embrava, these are my notes on using it under Fedora Linux.

Since my ASUS PN50 is planned to be running MythTV, I reinstalled it with Fedora 32 (wiping my RHEL 8 install).

Specs say 115 x 115 x 49 mm (WxDxH). CD case in the picture to give you a rough idea of the size.

I intend to run ceph-ansible stable-4.0 on my Fedora 31 Workstation.

Since F31 comes with Ansible 2.9, but ceph-ansible 4.0 requires ansible>=2.8.8,<2.9, I simply used python -m venv ….

This is my braindump.

I installed Fedora 29 on my TerraMaster F5-422 for a quick Ceph test.

Obviously if you plan to use Fedora on this hardware for anything more than a quick test, use the latest version! Or try RHEL7 or CentOS Stream on it.

This is my braindump.

It’s been about 2½ months since I started adding ODROID-HC2 nodes to my Ceph Luminous cluster.

This is a quick update on how it’s doing so far.

I was gifted a SoftIron OverDrive 1000, an ARMv8 Opteron Seattle based machine.

This post is my braindump. Expect it to change until I remove ‘WIP: ' from the title.

I built a Ceph Luminous cluster containing seven ODROID-HC2 nodes. This cluster also contains some x86 VMs running on my hypervisor.

I use this cluster mainly as a Ceph playground.

For Ceph use I definitely did not want to mess about with serial console on the ODROID-HC2 (there are 7 nodes to install, there could be more). The instructions include getting rid of the need for serial console during first boot.

After installing Fedora 29 on my ODROID-HC2 nodes, I want to get an ansible user onto them so that my usual Ansible playbooks can configure them.

This blog post is about installing Fedora 29 on an ODROID-HC2 (from a Fedora 29 x86_64 workstation).

The aim is to get the ODROID in a state where one can ssh as root to the host.

Both initial setup over serial and installing without using a serial console are described.

While I do like Lennart’s blog posts on systemd, I waste way too much time finding specific articles. So here are my own links with post title.

At http://www.pcfe.net/boot/ I have dropped the files necessary to iPXE boot. While my set up will not serve you, you can follow the steps in 00-readme.txt if you want to build your own.
