#Stalker2 #SealedTruth content update weighs over 10 GB.

EDIT +pic2: my #Steam on #ZFS backup script (https://github.com/PurryPlatypus/bashrc.d/blob/main/50-zackupSteam.sh) reports about 140 GB of changes - this must be the famous Steam compression algo.

I wonder whether this also includes the #UnrealEngine update, people are talking about. #GSCgameWorld #Gaming #Linux

@oxyhyxo Yeap with syncoid #ZFS

#homeserver #upgrades - replacement of CPU, motherboard, and OS disk this week. #Debian #trixie as the base. Aiming to do a bit of a cleanup as I go - ideally #containerising where possible, no VMs

So far;
* Unifi Network Server โŒ AP couldn't find it as a container. Installer script โœ…
* #Wordpress โœ… some permissions fiddling required for compose
* #tvheadend โœ… some path fiddling for compose
* #zfs โœ… flawless detection and import

I've been running two degraded ZFS arrays for the last few weeks (Debian host).

Yeah, I know. Whatevs.

One of the pools was basically "scratch" backup space and one of the spindles died (breaking the utility of the mirror). Pulled the drive, wiped the remaining, put back in service with minimum fuss as a single drive. I'll throw another spindle at it when drive prices drop again.

The other array had the SSD cache die and it's been chugging along fine ever since. Not a big deal, but from a "experience" point of view it "feels slow" like a working md array.

New SSD arrived in the mail so that'll get sorted sometime today/tomorrow.

So, what's this post about?

Linux peeps, if you are thinking about md arrays, just stop, take the time, and throw 'yer leg over the zfs horse. It's worth it.

My guide on how to do this. It took me a whole weekend to learn and figure this out. Never found a suitable basic guide that was super verbose. I hope this helps some #nixos + #zfs curious people

ZFS Encrypted Root with Nixos Minimal Install

I have been looking for a simple ZFS encrypted root guide on the internet. It doesnโ€™t seem to exist. I am putting emphasis on the word simple. I decided to sacrified my weekend and mental health to make it happen. Before attempting this, please read these links, so you have some idea about what youโ€™re doing and are aware of the main steps needed to install NixOS manually. It looks scary, but luckily you can skip most of these steps with the tool, Disko.

@freya I am trying out #ZFS on my "homelab" server but was most surprised that it seems one has to do all the ZFS setup external to the #flake which only lives within the manually made ZFS pool environment. That seems to mean I need a sort of orchestration script like tool to match flake /persist data settings (am using #impermanence lite currently) to the ZFS setup hoo-ha. Works fine but is not declarative #nixos at all really. Any ideas there ?
