It took a couple of weeks learning how the the values yaml files for rook ceph are supposed to be written. But I have finally managed to get a rook ceph storage cluster configured on a Talos kubernetes cluster!

I can do this stuff!

Next step is getting it to work with an ArgoCD CI/CD pipeline.

@rasterweb I have been looking at a FOSS replacement for my Synology NAS.

#truenas scale was definitely recommended but I am inevitably drawn to a code-as-infrastructure fetish.

I also considered #nixos with ZFS but I think it’s time for high-availability capabilities in my homelab. So I COULD do NixOS with a k3s service.

Ultimately, I’ll probably instead run a cluster of machines with #talos Linux and get that lovely NAS functionality back (and then some) by running a #rookceph image.

This is what the new cluster looks like cabled up. Sexy, eh?
For the OS, I decided to go with RHEL 9.5. There are reasons. Red Hat really made some super dumb moves around CentOS Stream, but I don't think they are evil.
Setting up the routing for the ring topology network using #FRR seems to work. I'm getting about 26.6Gbit/sec across the Thunderbolt 4 interfaces. That is using ipv6. ipv4 is not quite working on those for me. And that is my blocker for #rookceph.

Just had a brief blip in our S3 backend.

I swear, in the rook documents the first troubleshooting step should always be "Restart the operator because it probably silently shit itself"

TIL: The MicroK8s addon for "rook-ceph" is available since version 1.28.
Also, if you run `sudo snap install microk8s --classic`, it will install 1.27. 🙈
