No, I'm not applying 2005 security, I'm saying NFS hasn't evolved much since 2005, so throw it in a dedicated link by itself with no other traffic and call it a day.
Yes, iscsi allows the use of mounted luns as datastores like any other, you just need to use the user space iscsi driver and tools so that iscsi-ls is available. Do not use the kernel driver and args. This is documented in many places.
If you're gonna make claims to strangers on the internet, make sure you know what you're talking about first.
Your workload just won't see much difference with any of them, so take your pick.
NFS is old, but if you add security constraints, it works really well. If you want to tune for bandwidth, try iSCSI , bonus points if you get zfs-over-iSCSI working with tuned block size. This last one is blazing fast if you have zfs at each and you do Zfs snapshots.
Beyond that, you're getting into very tuned SAN things, which people build their careers on, its a real rabbit hole.
You've mentioned that you dont care about systemd several times, but it's certainly not clear from your post.
Many companies contribute to the LF. Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, oracle, redhat, are all platinum members. Are you concerned because poettering works for ms that they're going to privatize Linux?
Sysvinit is done. It is not graceful at handling dependant services, it was hard to test, and customising a service was painful compared to unit files.
For someone who's been at Linux for 30 years, you clearly haven't spent any time fighting with init scripts.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Poettering. His approach lacks any empathy for anyone who's entrenched in a current system and breaks stuff with his deployment approach.
But run0 solves a LOT of problems with sudo, problems that have always existed. Have you ever tried to deploy a sudoers file in an ecosystem of Linux systems relying on LDAP? Sudo definitely needs fixing.
OVS is fine, you can make live changes and something like spanning port traffic is a bit less hassle than using tc, but beyond that, it's not really an important component to a failover scenario over any other vswitch, since it has no idea what a TCP stream is.
HA... Do you mean failover? It would need some consideration, either a second wan link or accepting that a few TCP sessions might reset after the cutover, even with state sync. But it's definitely doable.
I'm currently in a state of ramping down my hardware from a 1u dual Xeon to a more appropriate solution on less power-hungry gear, so I'm not as interested in setting up failover if it means adding to my power consumption simply for the uptime. After 25 years in IT, its become clear to me that the solutions we put in place at work come with some downsides like power consumption, noise, complexity and cost that aren't offset by any meaningful advantage.
All that said, i did run that setup for a few years and it does perform very well. The one advantage of having a router virtualized was being able to revert to a snapshot if an upgrade failed, which is a good case for virtualizing a router on its own.
I did it for a few years, it looks interesting on paper, but in practice, it's a nightmare.
At home, you'll be getting real sick of asking for change windows to reboot your hypervisor.
At work, you will rue the day you convinced mgmt to let it happen, only to now have hypervisor weirdness to troubleshoot on top of chasing down bgp and TCP header issues. If it's a dedicated router, you can at least narrow the scope of possible problems.
Paperless itself is great, but it cannot ingest half my PDF bills and invoices due to limitations on the conversion tools dependency.
support for interpreting US/EU conventions for date and time takes careful workflow rules, automation can have weird results
multi user support is a bit of a mess
In short, it's great for single user, single workflow cases, but not so much for just ingesting all kinds of docs and having truly helpful doc processing.
Photoprism is less "resource intensive" because it's offloading face detection to a cloud service. There are also many who don't like the arbitrary nature of which features photoprism paywalls behind its premium version.
If you can get past immich's initial face recognition and metadata extraction jobs, it's a much more polished experience, but more importantly it aligns with your goal of getting out of the cloud.
I want to try this. I'm one of the unfortunate victims of Gaia GPS turning to trash.
However, I can't seem to find in the docs how tracks can be recorded...
Is there an app?
Do I need to be in contact with the server to record a track?
Do I need to ask my friends to send me gpx exports if they aren't on strava?
Do you envision an integration with opentrailmap so in can share trails without having to expose Wanderer to public?
