# Nick Cave -- My personal datacenter When I went to new york 2 summers ago I took a mac mini and a pair of 14T disks, which had a sort pile of pictures, my music library and which backed up my laptop. At home it still does the backups. Recently I came apon a 2013 24 core mac pro with 64G of memory and 1T of internal ssd. With that kind of processing I can actually run vms as well as getting my backups served. So we are retiring Costello and building out Nick. Start by installing debian trixie from a usb stick. This worked flawlessly. Once you have that baseline set up the stuff we use. ```sh apt update # DONT MODERNIZE THE LIST TRIXIE TRASHES IT apt install sudo nano wget curl apt install avahi-daemon apt install avahi-daemon avahi-utils apt install libnss-mdns apt install htop apt install openssh-server apt install ca-certificates apt install gpg apt install sudo apt install parted apt install htop apt install bridge-utils ``` Install the zfs stuff. ```sh nano /etc/apt/sources.list apt update apt install zfs-dkms apt install zfsutils-linux modprobe zfs zfs list apt -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update apt policy linux-headers-* apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) apt install --reinstall zfsutils-linux zpool import zpool import -f tank zpool import -f local zpool import -f reddisk zpool clear tank ; zpool clear reddisk ; zpool status -v ``` replace the bad disk and replace the bad zfs partitions ```sh sgdisk --replicate=/dev/sde /dev/sdb sgdisk -G /dev/sde ls -ls /dev/disk/by-id|grep sde zpool status tank zpool replace tank -o ashift=12 ata-ST12000NM000J-2TY103_ZRT0GC3A-part3 ata-WDC_WD120EFBX-68B0EN0_D7JVX9MN-part3 zpool replace reddisk -o ashift=12 9814339977262587103 ata-WDC_WD120EFBX-68B0EN0_D7JVX9MN-part4 ``` Install netatalk ```sh wget https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/releases/download/netatalk-4-0-0/netatalk_4.0.0.ds-1_amd64.deb dpkg --install ./netatalk_4.0.0.ds-1_amd64.deb apt install avahi-daemon apt --fix-broken install apt install avahi-daemon avahi-utils apt install libnss-mdns systemctl status avahi-daemon nano /etc/netatalk/afp.conf systemctl restart netatalk systemctl status netatalk ``` Add personal keys to ssh authorized keys. ```sh nano .ssh/authorized_keys cp .ssh/authorized_keys ~feurig/.ssh/authorized_keys chown -R feurig:feurig ~feurig/.ssh ``` attempt to use tbolt 2 enclosure. ```sh apt update apt install thunderbolt-tools apt install bolt boltctl boltctl list boltctl enroll boltctl enroll 00000000-0000-0018-80fa-1c134c238952 boltctl list fdisk -l boltctl info 00000000-0000-0018-80fa-1c134c238952 boltctl list boltctl list --all ``` ### FAIL Move on to initial incus fail. Newest incus creates a bridge and expects it to be there. ```sh reboot fdisk -l nano .ssh/authorized_keys apt install incus incus-tools qemu-system curl -fsSL https://pkgs.zabbly.com/key.asc -o /etc/apt/keyrings/zabbly.asc sh -c 'cat < /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbly-incus-stable.sources Enabled: yes Types: deb URIs: https://pkgs.zabbly.com/incus/stable Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo ${VERSION_CODENAME}) Components: main Architectures: $(dpkg --print-architecture) Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/zabbly.asc EOF' apt update apt install incus systemctl start incus incus admin init incus --version ``` At this point incus was foobarred and had set up a default lxdbr0 and was not the way we like things. So we.... Delete the lxd bridge and set up the normal bridge. ```sh ip link set incusbr0 down ip link delete incusbr0 cat > /etc/network/interfaces<
