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.

Just the steps needed to grow a cached LV.

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.

Added this to my server:

• Supermicro 2-Port NVme HBA AOC-SLG3-2M2-O
• 1000GB Samsung 960 Evo M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 32Gb/s 3D-NAND TLC Toggle

My braindump follows.

Since the new server is to be a hypervisor, there are configuration steps to be done.

My significant other and I got ourselves a new home server.

Even if, like me, you do not want to install Google Play on your Jolla; you can still use Öffi.

1. Install Android support via Jolla store.

2. Grab the file for a custom Android without com.google.android.maps library (aosp) from Öffi’s download page.

3. Install it

On customer site, I am quite often forced to use a Windows machine to access the Linux boxes I work on. This means I will not have an ssh-agent (nor a gpg-agent) running on the machine I’m sitting at (the Win box) and the Linux boxes I access via putty tend to have shared home directories.

Long story short, I need one agent per Linux box taking into account that I may have more than one login shell to the Linux box (i.e. multiple putty windows) and config files including the hostname.

from time to time I need to configure an apache httpd with Kerberos authentication, a quick braindump follows.

New SSL certificate.

If you intend to build native graphical applications for the Jolla phone, then by all means follow the official docs.

If, OTOH, you are used to writing spec files and feeding another build system (for me it’s mainly Koji), then read on.
