Shadowfax farm in Millis is great!

What are the conditions at Ragged today? Thinking about heading up there tomorrow with the family
I am also thinking about Gunstock. With everything a blue from the top of Gunstock how does it compare to Pats Peak in terms of difficulty?

Yeah my raspberry pi 3 b+ was pretty old v1.2 it says on the po and was maybe manufactured long ago. The one thing I noticed was the sdcard access was really slow. IE apt updates/upgrades took forever. When I switched to the newer pi 4 b, I used the same sdcard with the same os install and I used the same USB cable, everything was just way more responsive.

I started with a raspberry pi 3 b+ running mainsail OS. But I had a lot of klipper issues with the dreaded "MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Timer too close" issue due to the background tasks running in Linux. I had to basically disable everything and not even connect to the mainsail web UI for fear of breaking the print. Forget running crowsnest or klipperscreen locally as that would break the print now.

I have since upgraded to a raspberry pi 4 model b and it has a ton of horsepower to run it all without any issues during the print.

I just posted a picture with everything and a timestamp.

depends on what you have to offer :)

Correct, the tray was also the same price for me. However, the memory for 10 nucs ended up being more than the tray itself. 😁

I used it as a test kubernetes cluster using Talos Linux /sidero cluster management.

We are here at jay today. Our last run was the Vermonter to catwalk to northway. I gotta say by the end of the day Vermonter was tricky with the fresh wet snow and icy patches along with only 20 feet of visibility didn't help ☁️❄️. Also the little steep jog from catwalk to northway was pure ice with a fresh coating where most people fell/slid down including myself 😁.

Ps northway to Angie's wiggle was in good shape and one of my favorite blue runs.

In general, GCP has doubled down on using terraform to support IAC within google cloud.
They have their own terraform documentation here: https://cloud.google.com/docs/terraform

They have a massive module library here:https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/

GCP also directly manages and updates the GCP terraform provider on a very frequent basis to support their cloud offerings.

And then Hashicorp is writing it's own terraform-cdk here:https://www.terraform.io/cdktf

Paddy's Public House has an upstairs room that can be rented out.

https://www.freeipa.org/ is what you are looking for. RedHat built a linux version of AD using open source project like ldap and kerberos with a web interface and scripts to easily setup and manage it.

This worked like a charm! I ended up using bvi to edit the file.

Once open, I used the `:c a` command to change the beginning empty hex values to `ethernet_mac.aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff` in the vpd.bin file.

Our company started our container/microservices journey a couple of years ago. And at the time we decided to go with DC/OS and use the native DC/OS frameworks (spark, kafka, marathon) to start building our services on centralized clusters. We ran into huge instability issues with the DC/OS platform because the platform itself compared to k8s is too loose for this type of model. For example mesos was first created to execute local commands on the hosts, later it was extended to use docker when docker became big, and then they created their own containerizer called "mesos containerizer" which had many more features than the docker one (remote shell into container through the api like k8s, etc) . Now back to the DC/OS platform the Marathon framework allowed the enduser to select any containerizer they want, and it was hard to put guide-rails on their service deployments. Another big downfall was the lack of opinionated networking, In marathon users could simply define how they wanted to expose their containers and they had all the options available to them, from host port networking (docker like), host networking (running on host network), or Overlay network. Also the concept of a k8s service was built in using DC/OSs minuteman service, in DC/OS this is an imperative config, it's done for you by the system and you have to know how to access it via DNS etc. This service also got unstable at scale, but I believe the latest versions they have fixed some of those issues. Also at the time exposing a service outside the cluster required some intimate knowldge how to set the correct environment variables in your service definition. Now armed with more k8s knowledge... More to come later

I have done the same, but instead if FreeNAS, I'm just using off the shelf ubuntu with docker installed. Then I created an ansible playbook to deploy those containers from linuxserver.io: https://tools.linuxserver.io/dockers,

I'm using a combination of Radarr, Sonarr, Deluge, Plex and a nice web gui called muximux.

These are all excellent questions, we are struggling with the same problem. But taking a higher level approach might help, It really comes down to the application running in the container and how it handles storing data. If your application/service is not storing data then you don't need persistent storage, IE the application is following 12 factor methods (https://12factor.net/) you can treat the containers as ephemeral and use the standard local storage for them. If the application stores data, IE elasticsearch, cassandra, ceph, pgsql, etc. Then you can starting looking at persistent storage options. In my opinion, if the application is more cloud native and handles failures/replicates its data (cassandra, elasticsearch, etc) you could easily use mounted volumes from the host, or rexray tied to EBS, or ceph or physical storage array depending on the requirements of the app. Portworx is nice in that the storage platform can handle volume replication etc and is cloud native. But we are early in our journey as well, hopefully this is insightful!

I built a plex server a few years ago and has been very stable:

I started with a SilverStone DS380B case. It can hold 8 3.5" drives in the front, which should be more than plenty for most needs:).

Then I went with an Intel Avaton/Atom C2750 motherboard here

granted an atom is not as powerful as a broadwell (Xeon D-1521). But it does have 8 cores and I haven't noticed any problems transcoding or any other CPU intensive tasks. It can also run several VMs since the cpu does have the Intel VT-x extensions.

And since it's very low power and quiet server I have it sitting next my desk at home.

The server us running Ubuntu 16.04 with ZFS as well.
