@badnetmask Also another thing that shocks me is that #Harvester has changed out its base distrobution away from K3OS to the enterprise licensed SLE Micro?? Especially shocking given that its an open source project, and the ease of availablity of both MicroOS and LeapMicro.

There is reassurances that users of Harvester will not need to license or register this copy of SLE when expicitly used under Harvester. But this is under an enterprise license and very much not open source, directly conflicting with crieria 8 "License Must Not Be Specific to a Product" of the OSI definition of open source.

This is a real black mark on a project i otherwise thought highly of.

@badnetmask @ironicbadger My guess is that the experimental feature is the UI itself. Under the hood it should be Elemental https://elemental.docs.rancher.com/architecture running k3s/RKE2, which are both rock solid.

If that label is a problem however, you could deploy Talos Linux or Elemental yourself into some VMs, and use Harvester as a proxmox distro directly.

Alternatively. You can also install Talos Linux on the host, and install your own storage interface (like ZFS drivers) and KubeVirt yourself. KubeVirt is really a glorified interface and manager on top of libvirt XML files.

@badnetmask @ironicbadger KubeVirt has been a very surprising powerhouse of a project.

From Live Migrations. To Tekton support. Confidential computing. And even Kubernetes RBAC for VMs.

While at first it just looks like a "Kubernetes, but also with some VMs", it could actually be a serious contender for just VM management.

https://harvesterhci.io/ is a complete Kubernetes package with a webui including KubeVirt. Makes it easy to at least try out with preselected components.

Update: Eelco went behind the back of the #Nix board that he himself is on to publish that all too dreadful Determinate Systems blog post.

I feel like something is shifting internally, and I'm holding my hopes up to see what comes next week. :blobfoxcofeowo:

#NixOS

@GossiTheDog Still -6% tho :blobfoxlaughsweat:

@thomasfuchs @dma @hachyderm Thank you for linking the exact image. This should now be fixed.

Seems to have been related to a single worker node having its ffmpeg binary in a twist. Which is likely why it was intermittent. :blobfoxscience:

#introduction

Heyo!

My name is Sofie, and I love building things so it is nicer and easier to use!

I touch on subjects such as #nixos, #sysadmin, and how to generally make your life easier running servers.

I also love trying out a lot of different programming languages, big ones being #Rust, #Ocaml, and #Ruby right now!

My current pet project is https://github.com/imsofi/phenix

In my free time I also enjoy #boardgames and #radiocontrol.

Good to see you! :ablobfoxbongo:
