• Ceph: A Journey to 1 TiB/s

  I have some experience with Ceph, both for work, and with homelab-y stuff. First, bear in mind that Ceph is a distributed storage system - so the idea is that you will have multiple nodes. For learning, you can definitely virtualise it all on a single box - but you'll have a better time with discrete physical machines. Also, Ceph does prefer physical access to disks (similar to ZFS). And you do need decent... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Running stateful workloads on Kubernetes with Rook Ceph

  Another option is to leverage a Kubernetes-native distributed storage solution such as Rook Ceph as the storage backend for stateful components running on Kubernetes. This has the benefit of simplifying application configuration while addressing business requirements for data backup and recovery such as the ability to take volume snapshots at a regular interval and perform application-level data recovery in case... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• People who run Nextcloud in Docker: Where do you store your data/files? In a Docker volume, or on a remote server/NAS?

  This is beyond your question but might help someone else: I switch from docker-compose to kubernetes for my home lab a while ago. The storage solution I've settled on is Rook. It was a bit of up-front work learning how to get it up but now that it's done my storage is automatically managed by Ceph. I can swap out drives and Ceph basically takes care of everything itself.

• Rook/Ceph with VM nodes on research cluster?

  The stumbling point I am at is I want to use rook.io(Ceph) as my storage solution for the cluster. The Ceph prerequisites are one of the following:. Source: about 1 year ago

• Running on-premise k8s with a small team: possible or potential nightmare?

  Storage: Favor any distributed storage you know to start with for Persistent Volumes: Ceph maybe via rook.io, Longhorn if you go rancher etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Windows to Linux Switch

  I'm using openmediavault.org for my "NAS" OS. No desktop, but it does have a good web-based GUI. To automount your NAS drive, you'd have to modify your fstab file. Lots of good tutorials online. Source: over 1 year ago

• Thinking about making a home storage server

  Basically, there a few options to start with. The most decent ones are TrueNAS/FreeNAS (https://www.truenas.com/) , OMV (openmediavault.org), both supports zfs. Also, you can look into UnRAID (https://unraid.net/) which allows you to scale easily. Also, some info on zfs https://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/hardware/10-reasons-why-zfs-rocks/ https://www.starwindsoftware.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-zfs. Source: over 1 year ago

• just how well does the nvidea shield pro do as a plex server?

  I have 5 Optiplex 3010's (i3-3rd Gen processors) sitting in my closet with 4GB RAM that would work just fine as a direct play Plex server with openmediavault as it's OS. And should even HW Transcode a couple of 1080p files with a Plex Pass. Source: over 1 year ago

• How I reclaimed my server after resetting devices after the breach (Ubuntu)

  Wow, I'm on a Debian based headloess OS (openmediavault.org) and my update was much easier. Source: almost 2 years ago

• No write access after clean install of Linux Mint

  The link that u/Fribbtastic had quite a bit of detail. Or there is always r/linux4noobs. I don't have mine installed on Mint and the GUI of my openmediavault.org OS is quite a bit different (I.e. There is no desktop, only a web interface/command line). But the command line should be the same for all distros built off of Debian. Source: almost 2 years ago
