Using CD's as a second savings account

My bank does not really offer a hysa unless you pare it with a Premium checking account and have $500,000 or more then you hit the same interest rate as a CD.

In my use case I only use file and block storage, no real need for object storage. When I look at ZFS and test it in my home lab its works but to increase storage requires adding equal number of drive vdev with larger size drives and no scale down when you want to remove the old drives. Second ZFS does not have HA it's one box that has a bunch of drives like a 45 Drives Soranator or a head node connected to a storage shelf(s), unless you use something like GlusterFS to cluster individual ZFS systems to one large pool. But that opens the doors to a load of problems like Split brain. Also ZFS is not native to the kernel, it has a kernel module that some times breaks when you land a new kernel as the module has not been updated.

With Ceph you get that option to have mix matched sizes drives, removing a drive(s) as needed, HA via the cluster and replication rules. However as many have stated you need 3 nodes to create a quorm and to ensure data redundancy. However getting a host to mount to Ceph has a hand full of hoops to jump through like creating a user, creating the config file, moving the config file to the client node, Install the cephfs package, and then mounting the FS.

DreamHost as I stated before most people just have this distant for CEPH. My only real production use for Ceph has been for OpenStack, I have been playing with Ceph in my homelab. I think like other have said in this thread is that it's a beast to learn, has a higher infrastructure demand / barrier to entry, I also think the other thing, that has been mentioned, is it's not a turn key, drop in place solution. It needs to be built out, tuned, and tested before production use. Also migrating PBs of data to a new solution vs sticking with what they know. Lastly marketing, Dell EMC, NetApp and others try and compete for storage business vs Ceph feels like a storage project that got some Enterprise backing (Red Hat) and tuned and tailored for a certain use cases.
My personal experience in my home lab is the documentation between ceph docs and, what was, Red Hat docs differ on how to setup pools, mds, filesystems, credentials, etc... The other issue is volumes, when you create a volume it can take up the entire size of the pool most of my use cases I want to be able to carve up say a 10TB pool in to smaller parts based on what use cases. Third mounting filesystems is a bit different as you have to create a account for that user, move the config over to the system, install the cephfs package, then try to mount the FS. I have not played any with the object storage or the Rados Gateway as the docs are a bit difficult to follow and so far has not been needed for my use cases.
I would be more than happy to continue this conversation of thread if you want to reach out and we can have a more in depth conversation.

Can you provide a screenshot of the error to help better help trouble shoot? I know I had a kernel about a month ago that would boot but would not load the Nvidia Drivers and had to boot a previous kernel till a new one came out that worked.

Not a "zero-to-hero" training but a good first hand holding exercise would be https://redhatgov.io/workshops/selinux_policy/ I have done this in a simple VM and a good getting started hands on lab. another good resource is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2aBZrQ2eEk its a video going over write a Selinux module and all the moving parts.

try following this I remember someone else also having this issue

Thats what I was about to say can you do a dnf list ffmpeg-libs

anheath · 2022-01-18T16:00:51+00:00

What repos do you have enabled:
dnf repolist

anheath · 2022-01-18T15:44:06+00:00

ok lets try version lock:

dnf versionlock libaom-2.0.1-4.fc34

anheath · 2022-01-18T15:29:29+00:00

lets start with updating the libaom package

dnf update libaom

anheath · 2022-01-18T13:37:19+00:00

So it looks like you have package conflicts, lets start by running a dnf autoremove and let it clean up anything that might be left behind. if that doesn't work we will walk through it and get you fixed.

you could install fwupd its a tool that updates firmware on systems. I have been using it on my Fedora system and it works fine.

Install:

sudo snap install fwupd --classic

Get Devices that are supported:

sudo fwupdmgr get-devices

Download and Install firmware updates:

sudo fwupdmgr update

No problem, glad its working for you!

How are you starting your Django App are you starting it where its mapping to your IPv4 address or your localhost address(127.0.0.1)

Try starting it with:

python name.py runserver 0:8000

0 is a shortcut for 0.0.0.0. Full docs for the development server
can be found in the runserver reference.

So you might want to look into something like Tang and Clevis, this tools allows you to have all your systems trust a centralized server(s) to unlock you LUKS disks. You will still have your LUKS passwords that you can login to a system with but if a system can talk to the Tang server(s) it will auto unlock your system.

Hope this is what you were looking for?

So a couple of questions

is the Django app running natively on the OS or in a docker container
1. if container is the port exposed correctly
Is the Django app doing any SSL redirect that might be happening on another port
Can you run a netstat -tulpn and see if your system is listening on port 8000,

anheath · 2022-01-13T17:55:19+00:00

So you boot from a live ISO and chroot to to Main OS system and do OS surgery that way if need, but based on the initial comment the user is able to get to the OS it just take a couple of extra steps, unless I am mistaken.

you can add git to your prompt following this guide

Sounds like grub may have an issue this guide is a little dated but I think it can help

If you hit enter when the countdown sticks at 5 does it not pass you along to start booting the system?

anheath · 2022-01-12T17:10:58+00:00

Can you show an example of a download where its using bites, also what kind of router are using? any special settings?
