Casual user here, I have it simply on 2 boxes as part of my homelab. First
is a dual NAS/small hypervisor on HP Microserver, most people opt for
FreeNAS but I wanted something I was more familiar with and thus (to me)
more flexible. Second is on some old desktop components which I use simply
as a dedicated hypervisor (VM storage for this using iSCSI on the
microserver).
Importance for me was easy deploy (familiarity), low running overhead and
recent kernel. Someone else mentioned the appeal of Fedora Atomic, I would
love to have gone in this direction for the microserver but didn't know
enough about the potential shortcomings to go that route, I simply had to
get my hardware into use. Ideal scenario would be to have an atomic
instance and just deploy whatever roles I want to use as containers, it
would give me additional confidence when updating the OS to have the option
to robustly rollback.
Do you find Fedora Server as defined at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Product_Requirements_Document
useful to you? Do you fit into the target audiences and use cases? Or,
are you using Fedora Server in a different way? Or, Fedora _as_ a
server but not the Server edition?
I can't think of anything to add to the use cases, I think they're pretty
well defined. I love the concept of roles, this saves me trawling through
and installing individual packages or related groups of packages. As I
said earlier, in my scenario I had hardware to purpose and I wanted the
path of least resistance putting it to work.
Cheers,
Tim
