I've just replaced the PSU. Duckling has a 500 GB SSD. The plan is:

  • Debian Trixie
  • Pay close attention to what gets installed; if I `apt install` something, I need to write it down here.
  • Pay close attention to configuration changes; mostly, I want to make them to all of my systems.
Needs
  • can do up to 5 gigabit VTEPs
  • can put the firewall on it
Wants
  • SRP target. Maybe iSCSI but probably not.
  • Playground for NVMe-oF target, discovery, and boot.
Wont's
  • GPU server, since there's inadequate AVX support.
  • General HV; not enough RAM and I don't have a SAN
  • Media desktop. It's not 2018; use the i5 for that when you get more RAM for it.

The Plan

  1. Partition
    • GPT or MBR? (Does EFI get me anything?)
    • 64 GiB partition for OS volume
    • 8 GiB for swap
    • Snapshots to fill
  2. OS
    • Debian 12
    • Extra packages and applications
    • Configuration files–Keep a list!
  3. Services
    • SRP; NFS-RDMA
