I don’t have any friends really 😥 and the unlimited storage with Google Workspace was $25/mo. I think it will cost me about $125/mo. now to get enough pooled storage with Google, but it is doable at least in the short-term. I guess I need to make some friends with fiber connections.
That’s rad… I have a set of Ansible playbooks/roles/collections already for most system-wide settings. I have a love-hate relationship with Ansible though, but it gets the job done. I may try for cloud-init first until I reach its limitations. I’ve gotten pretty good at the Arch install too, although setting up the disks with LUKS was the most challenging part. Fortunately, the few times I’ve broke things I’ve been able to boot the installer ISO and mount my LUKS volumes from memory, but I couldn’t tell you how I set them up in the first place. 🤣 However I do it, I really just want to automate the process so that I can add new nodes and expand should I decide to rent out colocation space someday.
Thanks. I believe TrueNAS does ZFS as well… maybe by default. If I want to keep it simple this will probably be the route I go.
Thanks. That is what I’m leaning towards. Do you have any suggestions for a particular distro for your K8S nodes? I’m running Arch on my desktop.
The idea of being able to setup different storage classes is very appealing, as well as learning how to build my on K8S cloud.
Thanks. I’ve got Gigabit Fiber so I guess I’ll try Hetzner as a remote backup, or see how much it will cost to upgrade my Google Workspace account since they started enforcing their storage quotas.
This is what NameCheap does too. It’s freaking stupid. Domain registrations should not be managed by corporations.
