doh!, install of my Ceph Squid 19 itself was in early March, but I forgot to publish the braindump I’d written to this blog.

It was really just following the official Using cephadm to Deploy a New Ceph Cluster for the latest version (squid) at the time of install.

This is a very terse braindump on testing the WDT on my minisforum MS-01 nodes that run CentOS Stream 9.

These are my notes on initially configuring lm_sensors, specifically lm_sensors-3.6.0-10.el9.x86_64, for my MS-01.

These are my notes on adding 2 NVMe to my Intel Core i9-13900H / 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD bundle nodes. In the process, the bundled 1TB NVMe has the cooler removed and is moved to the 3.0 x2 slot.

I purchased five Minisforum MS-01 Work Station, specifically the Intel Core i9-13900H / 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD bundle from their German store (simply because I live in Germany) to replace my ageing F5-422 Ceph nodes.

These are my notes on initial bring-up.

I purchased a UGREEN NASync DXP 6800 Pro. This comes with a 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1235U.

These are my notes from initial bringup; mainly backing up the pre-installed Ugos so that I can wipe the included 128GB NVMe and install another Linux distribution on it.

These are my configuration notes on using a PiKVM V4 Mini to connect to my four Ceph nodes via a cheap 4-port KVM switch.

When I built my Ceph cluster in March 2020, I used old SATA HDDs I still had on the shelf. It was always clear that at some point these old consumables would die and need replacing. That time has come and I went with 3x 2TB SATA SSD OSD per node.

These are my notes on how to upgrade the UEFI firmware on my QNAP TS-473.

Just a short write-up on the state of my TerraMaster F5-433 Ceph cluster now that it has been in use for about 3 years.

These are my notes on installing a brand new Framework Laptop DIY Edition (12th Gen Intel® Core™) from Batch 1 for myself.

These are my notes on installing a brand new Framework Laptop (Batch 9) for a nephew of mine. It is the model with 11th Gen Intel Core.
