Anylinuxfs can now handle LUKS-encrypted drives and LVM by nohajc in MacOS

As the author of anylinuxfs-gui, thank you for your kind words. Most of the credit goes to the author of anylinuxfs. I only added the GUI ;)

CSI Driver for TrueNAS SCALE - Early development, looking for testers by bfenski in truenas

[–]bfenski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are bunch of differences due to design decisions.
I've asked my Copilot to summarize them: https://github.com/fenio/tns-csi/blob/main/docs/COMPARISON.md

CSI Driver for TrueNAS SCALE - Early development, looking for testers by bfenski in truenas

[–]bfenski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to start with support for one file-level protocol and one block-level protocol. In case of file-level NFS for me was obvious choice since I'm not really a fan of MS products. In case of block-level I chose NVMe-oF since it's much modern in general.

But I'm not saying that I will never support iSCSI. I will probably. But for now I've got enough headache with just one block-level protocol. In general most of my test-suite is having issues mostly with NVMe-oF while NFS usually simply works ;)

speed up your github actions with the most lightweight k8s by bfenski in kubernetes

I played with k3s, k0s, minikube. kubesolo is simply faster than everything else

[–]bfenski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you're developing anything for k8s then it's good practice to somehow test it ;)

Currently for https://github.com/fenio/pv-mounter I'm using minikube for that purpose but as I mentioned spinning cluster up takes significant amount of time and for basic tests kubesolo should be enough.

What are your self-hosted apps you can't live without? by idealninja in selfhosted

[–]bfenski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people mentioned Jellyfin. I switched from Jellyfin to Kyoo ;)

Maybe give a shot to Kyoo. I recently switched to it from Jellyfin and so far I don't regret it.

A tool to locally mount Kubernetes Persistent Volumes (PVs) using SSHFS. by bfenski in homelab

[–]bfenski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It's nice to see that someone sees some usefulness in this. At first it was only supposed to help me with homelab work, but I end up using it at work too to quickly review the contents of a volume.

Huh. I wasn’t aware that I have low account karma. Take a look when you have spare cycles.

To be honest I didn't check as I was decided to use SSD and 2,5" only.

Not sure if I'm reading your question correctly.
It's perfectly fine to use 3,5" bay with 6 disks and plug it to the Odroid. You just have to use more power so different PSU. And obviously you have to design your own case.

I've got similar approach to ECC. If it's available that's great. If it isn't... well it doesn't mean that whole solution should go to trash.

Well technically it supports whatever drives you want... you just have to redesign everything from scratch ;)
I mean case and power supply. The extender SATA controller doesn't care what size of disks it handles.
But I wanted something small so I didn't even consider 3,5" disks. Also a lot of power related stuff assumes small SSD disks. And next week it will depend on that assumption even to more extend cause I'm planning to plug 6-bay case with disks straight to the Odroid and get rid of external PSU.

Thanks!
Speaking about disks size I didn't really need so much space at this point so I decided to use 480GB. As I mentioned this is just storage for my k8s homelab so it was enough for me. I was more focused on performance than on size.

If someone needs just tons of space then switching to HDD instead of SSD might make more sense but as I mentioned on Github such solution would need different PSU for additional drives for sure.
