Proposed

 * Ubuntu 18.04 (Release Notes).
 * ZFS
 * It's a little complicated to get the root of the OS on ZFS, simplest way seems to be to install to another drive then copy over
 * Additional Reference
 * Installing Ubuntu on ZFS root using terminal
 * Installing Ubuntu with ZFS root using Ubiquity
 * Root pool on spinning disks, either as raid-z2 or a pair of 2 device mirrors? (How do we decide?)
 * ZIL slog on mirrored Optane drives, consider placing the boot pool ('bpool') here as well.
 * L2ARC on M2 SSD drive.
 * If using legacy BIOS boot mode, install grub to all devices; UEFI requires additional partitioning.
 * LXC/LXD - storage options we'll go with zfs (need to decide how big of storage),
 * also the fact btrfs allows going back to older snapshot, does zfs have a comparable feature, or might we consider having two storage containers, one zfs and one btrfs)
 * we'll have containers dedicated to databases one for user databases, one for system stuff like ldap, gitea, trac?

Containers
LXD based containers:
 * Downloads
 * Wiki
 * Webextra (Foss4g Archives)
 * Secure (LDAP) (for starters make LDIF schema backup of existing, add schema for ssh keys, some account to test, leave out personal identifying info for now)
 * NextCloud (for board members)
 * Drone
