schestowitz>>> This weekend is a long holiday.  Is it time to revisit a DevuanJan 05 04:16
schestowitz>>> migration for TR and TM?Jan 05 04:16
schestowitz>> Good question. How to go about doing that? Set up a new empty VM withJan 05 04:16
schestowitz>> Devuan? On the server? Or.....?Jan 05 04:16
schestowitz>>Jan 05 04:16
schestowitz>>Jan 05 04:16
schestowitz> My guess would be a new, empty server with Devuan.  If you can borrow anJan 05 04:16
schestowitz> IPv4 address temporarily then it could be set up as beta.techrights.org.Jan 05 04:16
schestowitz>  However, that is a big request.  Alternatively it could be set up withJan 05 04:16
schestowitz> port forwarding from another port than 80.  That might be theJan 05 04:16
schestowitz> best/easiest, actually.  Then build up a mirror of everything on the new VM.Jan 05 04:16
schestowitzWhen you say "a new, empty server" do you mean a new VM? I think HV-VM thing is why we have system freezes/crashes. I think we need to fundamentally think what we look to achieve. Also, practical benefits of the above. And the risks.Jan 05 04:16
schestowitz>> I wonder if weather place a role, maybe humidity levels.Jan 05 04:18
schestowitz> In my case, I'm sure it's mostly heat.  I can't get air conditioning inJan 05 04:18
schestowitz> the building where I live, and the disks suffered the most when a poorlyJan 05 04:18
schestowitz> configured cluster kept them running all the time.  Once I put in a fewJan 05 04:18
schestowitz> extra fans and reconfigured the cluster so I could even power theJan 05 04:18
schestowitz> machines off, I've had only one disk failure.Jan 05 04:18
schestowitz>Jan 05 04:18
schestowitz>> Ah, well... overcomplicating things scared me.Jan 05 04:19
schestowitz> I can very well related with that.  It is indeed my main concern withJan 05 04:19
schestowitz> this set up, but I got tired of wasting time dealing with disk failuresJan 05 04:19
schestowitz> and disk space maintenance.  If you haven't hit that point, by all meansJan 05 04:19
schestowitz> stick to the simple set ups.Jan 05 04:19
schestowitz>Jan 05 04:19
schestowitz>> Silent corruption of data is what scared me.Jan 05 04:19
schestowitz> I've used btrfs to catch that sort of problem.  That, plus replicationJan 05 04:19
schestowitz> and regular scrubbing, is likely to catch and fix problems before anyJan 05 04:19
schestowitz> data is lost.  I recommend at least 3 disks and 2-way replicationJan 05 04:19
schestowitz> (btrfs's raid1) for this sort of set up.  I suspect you might find thatJan 05 04:19
schestowitz> too complicated as well.Jan 05 04:19
schestowitz>Jan 05 04:19
schestowitz>>> Keep up the great stuff, and happy GNU year!Jan 05 04:19
schestowitz>> You too. I talk to RMS  routinely and it might be good for you and I toJan 05 04:19

schestowitz>>Jan 05 05:08
schestowitz> No, another physical server would not be appropriate.  If it is easy toJan 05 05:08
schestowitz> extend Alpine to include Apache2 and MariaDB then that would be the wayJan 05 05:08
schestowitz> to go.  However, I am very unfamiliar with Alpine Linux and it looksJan 05 05:08
schestowitz> like the user space is rolled up into a busybox instance.  There seemsJan 05 05:08
schestowitz> to be several ways to provision Alpine Linux.  Does the way we currentlyJan 05 05:08
schestowitz> have (with busybox) use a particular name that can be used to look upJan 05 05:08
schestowitz> more information?Jan 05 05:08
schestowitzMy understanding is that Alpine is a thin, light and simple base for other systems, e.g. VMs and containers. It seems to lack many things you'd expect on a normal OS.Jan 05 05:08
schestowitzRemember JeOS? Just enough OS? What ever happened to them? How about rPath? SUSE Studio....Jan 05 05:08
schestowitzThis means that any test site we do will need to go 'under' Alpine.Jan 05 05:08
schestowitz> PS.  Speaking of busybox, I read on TR that Bruce Perens has been drivenJan 05 05:08
schestowitz> out of OSI.  Do you have a list?  Guido, RMS, Linus, probably many others.Jan 05 05:08
schestowitzPerens himself left, after seeing the OSI doing bad things.Jan 05 05:08
schestowitzSo we have a list of at least 4. Can we summarise the circumstances, at the very least based on Wikipedia or something?Jan 05 05:08

schestowitzI suspect that to make more space on /var we could also just stop  httpd, stop mysqld, then start both. That seems to be getting rid of a large binary mariadb file (reboots certainly do).Jan 05 05:14
