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

I installed Proxmox VE 8.1 on my QNAP TS-473A.

These are my installation notes.

ld;dr: it installs fine but the hardware is not at the quality level I expected, machine was put into electronics recycling in late 2024.

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

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

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

These are my installation notes.

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.

I received my 3 additional TerraMaster F5-422.

Time to install CentOS Stream in preparation for Ceph Luminous.

I reinstalled my TerraMaster F5-422 with CentOS Stream.

I bought a TerraMaster F5-422.

These are my notes on initial bringup.

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.

introduction

My new server has IPMI which includes a watchdog timer.

Since I regularly get told that hardware watchdogs are no fun to set up, I’ll record my setup steps for an IPMI watchdog here. This document is not about watchdogs in general, but rather specifically on how to use an IPMI watchdog on a recent Red Hat based distribution.
