  1. any suggestions here which #distro to use for a #kubernetes host system? i wanted to go with #fedora since #redhat is the mother of #openshift but the #fedoraserver installer is just pain in me ar*e.

  3. I'm trying to set up a network share from Linux that Windows can access. Every document i look at for mounting a samba share seems to be mounting a Windows share in Linux but I'm not even sure how to tell.

    Is 'mount' even the tool i need here?

  5. The Fedora Server Working Group would love to get your feedback on how you use Fedora Server Edition!

  6. Building your own NAS/homelab machine is neverending process.

    I started with a plain external drive ~15 years ago, then connected it via USB to PC Engines Alix, then moved to two-bay Synology NAS, then built my first small and passive mini-ITX machine (sporting Athlon 200GE) with 4 drives and yesterday, I rebuilt it with Ryzen 5600G, 3x12TB drives in RAID5, 1TB NVMe in PCI-E for VMs, 512GB NVMe for system and containers, 64 GB RAM...

    Everything encrypted, services running in podman containers, a few VMs will come... it will be a long configuration weekend, learning new stuff again 😻

    Can't believe I used to run services directly as root and even used samba and other messy stuff.

    BTW, #cockpit in Fedora Server rocks! I tried to use it ~2 years ago and it was not a pleasant experience, but now, I did most of the stuff there instead of command line.

    Also am interested in #stratis - not for this server, but for another one. Looks like a nice umbrella storage system for my 10+ spare HDDs and SSDs with different sizes which I want to use to spin-up a pure backup server one day, if I find a reasonable motherboard for it with enough SATA ports... (see https://stratis-storage.github.io/ for details - thanks @shine for mentioning it to me)

  8. Che ne pensate di #Hypriotos per un #raspberrypi volevo fare delle prove con i container #docker #linux oppure meglio andare su qualcosa di classico come una #fedoraserver o #ubuntuserver

  9. What do you run on your homelab? How about CCTV?

    You can use Viseron, a Network Video Recorder, to set up such a system with Fedora Server and Kubernetes. Might be a cool project to try! 🤔

  11. My Fedora Server install decided to break this morning. I don't think there was a power event, as the UPS would have woken me up, but it's behaving that way. Seems to be an xfs error on one of my disks - something about a missing superblock? I'm very annoyed and frustrated- I wanted to relax today. /:

  13. This is a very cool and easy to follow story of one person's personal needs for their server.

    They start with assuming they stability as high as RHEL with consistent versioning, but over time containers erases that concern so they are freed up to think about other nice things like having newer software.

    If you've wondered why people use Fedora Server when CentOS and RHEL exist, this is one reason!

  15. @[email protected] bueno en aquest cas i anirà un #FedoraServer. Tant et va trigar ara a la aplicació posa que el puc rebre a finals de més (cosa que m'ha sorprès)

  16. I wanted to build a server on Fedora for S/390, but I ran into some problems. I thought it was on Fedora, but upon studying the situation in more detail, I found out it was on QEMU/KVM.
    Regardless, it seems to me a problem that would not be solved so easily. So I decided to build my server on Fedora for x86_64 and it's going great. A friend recommended "Hercules", but I still don't know how to use it and because it's more complex, it would postpone my plans.

  17. I've finished the basic part of configuring my server on Fedora. All that remains is to make it externally accessible, I intend to configure a domain on it as well.

  18. Yesterday I installed Fedora Server 38 for x86_64, QEMU/KVM allows running it with great performance, as if it were running directly on the hardware, but when I send the system to shutdown (I used the "halt" command in the console), it doesn't appear no more messages, the screen is completely black and does not turn off. Forced me to force shutdown by Virt Manager.

    I would like to understand this, if anyone knows and can help me, I appreciate it.

  20. Thanks to everyone who responded to the poll! Very interesting to see even though it does shake out roughly how we expected. Use of Fedora Server is still pretty high!

    @dschier wrote a neat blog series on setting up a home server. He uses Fedora Server, but you can probably extrapolate for the distro you would like to use. Check it out!

  22. Planning to try #Fedora server mainly for #BTRFS. I've always used #Debian or #Ubuntu for my personal servers. BTRFS is one of my favorite Linux file systems esp for #NAS and backups.

    It is possible to manually install btrfs on Debian/Ubuntu but involves a manual process (unless there is something I am missing). Fedora uses BTRFS by default so planning to try that out on one of the backup machines and see how it goes. Any thoughts?

  24. @fedora

    Maybe a silly question, but why doesn't use Btrfs? Sounds like the perfect candidate for it?

  26. Installed Fedora Server on my 2008 MacBook Pro, but only realized after that it's pre-USB 3 tech. I have a 500gb FireWire 400 drive, so maybe I'll spin that up as more storage and use it as a game ROM and RPG PDF server. The internal hard drive is only 250gb, but maybe I could put a larger drive in that FireWire enclosure. I don't know if FireWire 400 is fast enough for something like Jellyfin media server or not.

  27. And, to complete the world's most boring thread... Fedora 37 is now installed and everything looks great. MATE is there. All my apps are there. VMs look great. ZFS is working. Samba is up.

    I update my workstations in step with current, but was, for some reason, more nervous about my server. Painless.

    Thanks to everyone who gave me the 'ol internet thumbs up!

  28. Question for the room:

    I have a server running Fedora 35. Safe to go from 35 right to 37? Should I step through 36? Should I just wipe and reload?

    I'm 100% prepared to do a clean install, just wondering if this is easier, or possibly more fun 😅

    It's for my homelab, so it's not exactly mission critical.

    I wanted to install the one based on but it failed, so going with for now.
