Linux

Hi all,

I've been running a bunch of services in docker containers using Docker Compose for a while now, with data storage on ZRAID mirrored NVME and/or ZRAID2 HDDs.

I've been thinking about moving from my single server setup to three micro-servers (Intel N150s), both for redundancy, learning, and fun.

Choosing Kubernetes was easy, but I'd like to get some outside opinions on storage. Some examples of how I'm using storage:

1. Media and large data storage: Currently on the ZRAID2 HDDs, will stay here but be migrated to a dedicated NAS
2. High IO workloads like Postgresql and email: Currently running on the NVMEs
3. General low-volume storage: Also currently on NVMEs, but different use case. These are lower IO, like data storage for Nextcloud, Immich, etc

I'm a huge fan of being able to snapshot with ZFS, as I mirror all my data off-site with hourly pushes for some container data, and daily for the rest. I'd like to be able to continue this kind of block-level backups if possible.

Assume I'm a noob at Kubernetes storage (have been reading, but still fresh to me). I'd love to know how others would set up their storage interfaces for this.

I'm trying to understand if there's a way to have the storage "RAIDed" across the drives in the three micro-servers, or if things work differently than I expect. Thanks!

So I'm entirely sick of dealing with windows on my surface. It is my only device not running linux. I decided on fedora to avoid ppa hell and It is not my daily driver so arch is out as I don't want to do the maintenance.

Anyway, it usually fails with:

collapsed inline media

Any suggestions? I dont know windows well at all. To me it looks like it might be a firmware update of intel IPU on windows might be needed bit have no clue how to go about that.

I am new to podman, so please forgive me that I might be asking about the basics.

Today, I decided to migrate forgejo into a container, to harden my "server". For this, I backed up forgejo using forgejo dump, which gave me a ZIP file. Now I am lost on putting it into the podman container..

Basically, I want to know:

1. How do I access files inside podman container, especially one created through quadlet? Does the quadlet part make a difference?
2. How can I restore forgejo backup created by forgejo dump? Despite this being seemingly common task, there seems to be no documentation about how to restore the backup.

I have been struggling a lot with setting it up. Until moments ago, I had great difficulty debugging networking issue from firewall, which was quite exhausting. So I would like to ask help first for this problem. If anyone could give some pointers or help, it would be greatly appreciated!

I've been struggling with getting a wezterm window running cmus on a specific workspace upon start up for a while now. I can't use assign because the only eligible criteria differentiating it from a generic wezterm window is the pid, and my attempts to get the pid from get_tree and use that have been unsuccessful. I thought I had figured it out, when I put these lines in a another file:

#! /bin/bash
sway workspace 10 && sway 'exec wezterm -e cmus'

then in my config file I have this: exec ./start_cmus.sh

But it doesn't work. If I run start_cmus from the shell, the expected behavior ensues (a wezterm window running cmus is opened on workspace 10).

Any tips?
