Good Morning from my Robotics Lab! This is Shadow_8472 with a small update on what I learned this week. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not much progress happened this week. I won\u2019t be clustering this month, but I did study the High Availability Add-On. It has a package name in there called Pacemaker, but I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s independent or a common library or what. Furthermore: I don\u2019t know if a high availability cluster is right for me or not. I circled back around to Beowulf clusters after over a year of stuggle, but couldn\u2019t conclusively tell if Red Hat\u2019s implementation is one or not. Best I can figure is that you Beowulf once you have your task working on the first node and need to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that said, I did have some trouble along the way. Joystick, my new Rocky Linux 9 installation won\u2019t boot \u2013 the computer keeps going to Mint no matter what I say in the BIOS. I tried running update-grub on Mint, but that just tidied away Debian with no new Rocky option. I vaguely remember something like this happening before, but I could be misapplying a memory. I want to try a GRUB disk; if that doesn\u2019t solve it, I may need to reinstall. I still have the USB stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a tangentially related note, I checked in on ButtonMash when Joystick didn\u2019t boot and found it unupdated. It also thought it was July, 2018 and that everyone\u2019s SSL encryption certificates were bad until I\u2019d completely fixed the time. I suspect the motherboard\u2019s system clock battery may be experiencing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion for this month, I\u2019ve been burned out. It\u2019s been nice not having the near-constant stress of finishing a project or taking a walk of shame to split it off into [yet] another week, but at the same time, I didn\u2019t get much done at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still have a goal of combining multiple computers into a single, more powerful one behind a unified Cockpit experience. If I think about it though, I might be after some sort of Podman clustering technique, and I\u2019ll still be no better off at getting Podman working over NFS than when I started!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
