Proposal: Changes to Fedora Server default partitioning scheme
by Stephen Gallagher 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

The following proposal comes out of the discussion at this weeks Server SIG meeting[1] Fedora Server will have: * / (root) will be a minimum of 2 GiB and a maximum of 15 GiB * SWAP will continue to be calculated automatically based on available RAM on the system * All unused space will be assigned to a volume group and available to be assigned to new partitions or extend existing partitions. * Anaconda will continue to handle the appropriate EFI and /boot settings We also discussed during the meeting whether we should have a separate /var partition by default, but the general sense was that we might be better served by developing a mechanism to allow partitions to be split from existing mount points, which would be more flexible going forward. As we did not have quorum in the meeting by the point we got to this proposal, I'm taking it to the list for discussion and votes. For the record, the current behavior of the partitioning scheme is for / to be given up to 50 GiB of space and then any remaining space after that is assigned to a separate /home partition.

next steps for migrating Cloud Base image to Fedora Server?
by Matthew Miller 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

I think we had general agreement around what we want to do here: have the Cloud Base Image become instead Fedora Server, but shipped as a cloud image and made available in cloud providers. What are the next steps to actually get there? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Cockpit 128 and 129
by 'Dominik Perpeet' 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-129.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 128 and 129 Manage remotes and rebasing in OSTree ------------------------------------- When working with OSTrees on operating systems like Atomic Host [1] there will often be multiple branches to choose from. For example there may be a beta version of the operating system. Thanks to Peter’s work, Cockpit can now switch between branches and view and activate OSTrees from those branches. Also, Cockpit supports managing multiple remotes and viewing their branches. Remotes are a way of describing where OSTree should pull updates from. Take a look at the video below for a demo. Demo: https://youtu.be/dF8M3xq9FcI Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5599 [1] http://www.projectatomic.io/docs/os-updates/ The subpackage cockpit-dashboard has been split out --------------------------------------------------- The new |cockpit-dashboard| subpackage contains the dashboard itself and the |cockpit-ssh| process. Eventually this paves the way for more flexibility regarding authentication processes, but for now |cockpit-ws| unconditionally depends on |cockpit-dashboard|, and also requires the identical versions. Nothing changes for those who install the |cockpit| package. But this allows more flexibility when using Cockpit for specific use cases. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5338 Issues upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora have been fixed ------------------------------------------------------------- Our packaging changes in recent versions broke upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora. This is fixed now and updates should work properly once again. On Atomic, sosreport works again -------------------------------- A bug that prevented the diagnostic tool sosreport from working on Atomic systems was fixed. Generating and accessing these diagnostic reports can be very helpful when diagnosing or reporting an issue on the system. Optionally disable the dependency on libssh ------------------------------------------- When configuring Cockpit, the option |disable-ssh| disables building |cockpit-ssh| and removes the dependency on |libssh|. This is useful when building on an operating system where |libssh| is not available. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5743 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 129 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-129-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/129 Thanks, Dominik

FMW link for Server getfedora page?
by Matthew Miller 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

The Fedora Media Writer has been a big success for Workstation. The tool can also create Fedora Server install media. I'm not sure we want to change the default download for Server to FMW for Windows and Mac users like we did for Workstation, but maybe there should be a link to it at least? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Agenda for Server SIG Weekly Meeting (2017-01-17)
by Stephen Gallagher 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

We need to cover the release-blocking deliverables for Fedora 26 and we should probably aim to cover the marketing-friendly name for the modular Fedora Server as well. If anyone has high-priority topics to bring up, please reply.

Hi Server team, as we are moving forward with Fedora 26 I would like to make sure we have all the deliverables, which might or might not be blocking for the release, identified on time. As such, I would like to ask you to review the list of deliverables the Server team delivers for Fedora 26 release. The list is available on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/ReleaseBlocking/Fe… . In case you find any discrepancy in the list, feel free to correct it or let me know and I will correct it then. Thanks for your help and Best Regards, Jan -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic
