I haven't read the article yet,... but would be nice if it is available on Windows -

However, that said. I can just set up a VM and run there.... I don't do a massive amount of managing Linux Servers, but sometimes it would be helpful..

Not even on most Linux yet.

@jaredbusch said in How Does Fedora 25 Split Large Filesystems:

If you type some large number in the box for the / partition and then click the update button, it auto sizes to max.

Yeah, that's how I got it to say 144.84. If I did it myself, it'd be a nice round number.

The link isn't working for me. Is it working for anyone else?

Works for me.

@momurda said in Issues Installing Fedora 25 on Intel FakeRAID Device on Asus RoG G701:

You could try the rawhide version of fedora, it is using 4.11 instead of 4.8.6

He tried the current alpha release, worked the same.

@scottalanmiller said in Installing Varnish Cache to a LAMP Stack on Fedora 25 with SaltStack:

Varnish Cache cannot handle TLS connections, so Apache will continue to server HTTPS on port 443, for now at least.

That's unfortunate 😕 I use Varnish on Cloudways, but everything is HTTPS... Does that mean Varnish is doing nothing?

It just means that an SSL layer has to be in front of it. Nginx is used on most platforms to handle SSL.

@jaredbusch said in Install NextCloud 11 on Fedora 25 with SaltStack:

@scottalanmiller why install a proxy when Apaches here and working what is the benefit to having a proxy on the same server. Let’s Encrypt perfectly with Apache

Security and flexibility typically. Here is the admitted marketing material from Nginx on security: "Security and anonymity – By intercepting requests headed for your backend servers, a reverse proxy server protects their identities and acts as an additional defense against security attacks. It also ensures that multiple servers can be accessed from a single record locator or URL regardless of the structure of your local area network."

Just as a comparison, here's what it would look like with Ansible:

name: Recursively own html files file: path: /var/www/html owner: apache group: apache state: directory recurse: yes

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems.

Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

Interesting: Fedora 25 starts to panic with RAM < 512MB at the beginning of the kernel init phase, even in text mode. Just had a look at the manual which clearly says that Fedora requires 1GB of RAM.

Looks like I'm out of luck and have to stick to Ubuntu / Debian.

Another thing to note is with RHEL/CentOS 7.3 they recommend a 1GB boot partition instead of 512MB.

Just an aside.

Should work as long as you keep an eye on it. Ubuntu for example likes to keep old kernel and initrd images there until you clean them up (e.g. apt autoclean etc)

Ya I usually keep 3 and remove the others but I think the images are getting big enough they needed to adjust the size. If you do anew install it defaults to 1GB.

@scottalanmiller said in Fedora Block Device Full How - Extend Partition:

I'm late to the party. But the root is HUGE for Linux. We normally use 12GB. 20GB is the largest I would use. Why are you extending that? What's the goal in having the root be so large?

Whoever first set it up (it wasn't @DustinB3403), just dropped everything onto the root partition. Against every best practice ever written/known for Unix/Linux.

Still, that doesn't create a need for expanding the root in most cases.

If I would have known this before helping to fix a broken system... hindsight sadly.

To make what?

Fixed

@JaredBusch there is another project that took the PocketMine code and tried to run with it that I am looking at. Haven't had much time to dig into it today yet, though.
