Setup

Proposed

• Ubuntu 18.04 (Release Notes). more details about install steps

 DONE: Installed 18.04.1 on the Samsung 512GB MZVKW512HMJP (whole drive), and only installed OpenSSH (140.211.15.30)

• • ZFS DONE
    • 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
  • **DONE:** Note we went with simple single ZFS pool RAID 10 takes up the remaining disks (Non-SAMSUNG). OS and LXD install on SAMSUNG
    • • 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?

Services

Proposed

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
