This is a quick braindump of setting up our home GitLab instance (on CentOS 8) to backup
to an existing CephFS but with access limited to the directory /GitLab_backup.
[root@gitlab ~]# df -h /mnt/cephfs-GitLab_backup/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
ceph-fuse 5.3T 175G 5.1T 4% /mnt/cephfs-GitLab_backup
I made some hardware changes to my Ceph Nautilus cluster.
While previously I used one SSD shared between the operating system and Ceph, I did want a clean setup where the OS and Ceph are on separate devices.
After installing RHEL 8, I started building a Ceph Nautilus cluster with my four TerraMaster F5-422 nodes.
In further happy distro hopping (since Ansible makes this quite painless), I installed RHEL8 on my four TerraMaster F5-422.
My new 16 port 10G switch was too loud for my taste. So I fit Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX fans instead.
After the modification, the switch looks the same on the outside.
I received my 3 additional TerraMaster F5-422.
Time to install CentOS Stream in preparation for Ceph Luminous.
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 bough a UniFi Switch 16 XG, Board Revision 13 (UniFi Software reports 13, while in the pic below I see 11, odd).
These are my notes on initial bringup.
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.
I finally received my F(x)tec Pro¹.
After checking with the shipped Android that the device was not DOA and applying all updates, I reflashed it with SailfishOS
These are my notes on installing Sailfish OS 3.2.1.20 community build.
I reinstalled my TerraMaster F5-422 with CentOS Stream.
