This is my braindump on installing cephadm on CentOS Stream 9.

While I use a QNAP TS-473A for my tests plus 2 VMs, the below applies to any machine or VM running CentOS Stream 9 FWIW: My installation and initial configuration is described in the post QNAP TS-473A with CentOS Stream 9.

In happy distro hopping, I installed CentOS Stream 9 on my QNAP TS-473A.

These are my installation notes. They are similar to my RHEL8 notes and my Fedora Server notes.

I want a playground for Ceph’s cephadm that was introduced with Octopus and is also present in Pacific.

So I cleanly took my QNAP TS-473A out of my existing Ceph Nautilus cluster again (because I have enough combined capacity on my F5-422 nodes to be able to remove the OSDs in the TS-473A) and installed Fedora Server 35 plus cephadm from upstream.

I installed Fedora Server 35 on my QNAP TS-473A.

These are my installation notes. They are similar to my RHEL8 notes.

I got myself a Mountain keyboard, the Everest Max.

Since I had to boot Windows to set it up properly, here is my braindump on what I configured for my daily use with KDE Plasma on Fedora Linux.

I also noted my impressions, both positive and negative.

I added a QNAP TS-473 to my Red Hat Ceph Storage 4 (Nautilus) cluster.

This is my braindump.

I installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 on my QNAP TS-473A.

These are my installation notes.

I purchased a QNAP TS-473. This comes with a AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B 4-core/8-thread @ 2.2 GHz CPU.

These are my notes from initial bringup.

Janine bought herself two ASUS PN51, specifically the PN51-E1 model.

As previously described, I had replaced the fans in my UniFi US-16-XG, but until today I had not put in any low noise adapters (LNA).

That changed today, I added two LNA NA-RC10 (8.3 m³/h, 12.2 dbA) because the switch is still the most noisy piece of equipment in my homelab.

My Jolla Tablet seems to have died.

:-(

While for my virtualisation needs I am firmly in the Red Hat camp, an article in ix 9/2021 piqued my interest.

Since I was on a week of ‘staycation’ and the T7910 was not in use, I decided to test Proxmox VE 7.0 on a Dell Precision T7910 tying in my existing Ceph Nautilus storage for both RBD and CephFS use.
