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.

sshd defaults in server
by Chris Murphy 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hi, I ran into this "fun" hack https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19642554 and I'm wondering whether it'd be a good idea for F31 to ship with: #AllowAgentForwarding no #PasswordAuthentication no Cockpit provides an interface to add SSH public keys for a while now. However the installer doesn't require creation of an admin user, it's an option. Related to that, I'd like to see the installer: a. Require creation of a non-root user with "Make this user administrator" checked by default b. Root user has "Lock root account" checked by default When I check "lock root account" and return to the installation overview, it shows for root user that logins are disabled, so it's not like the person doing the install has to go dig around for the fact root user will be disabled. And they can easily uncheck it and set a password. Any thoughts? -- Chris Murphy
