Re: Bubbagen Live-USB for B3 version 1.18 (Gentoo Profile 23)


1.) This Gentoo B3 1.18 has faster responses on my home Internet. Nice surprise, nimble.
Temperature of the server is warmer (45-50° C) according to B3 interface.


Corresponds to what I see on my own system. 45°C on the production system with 3TiB Red disk, 48° on the dev machine with 2TiB Green ...

Re: Bubbagen Live-USB for B3 version 1.18 (Gentoo Profile 23)


As always, a few hiccups — along the way !

bubbagenb3img-1.18.0.xz

I used MS Windows tools (XZ Util and Win32 Disk Imager, noted with instructions),
and found that De-compressed image file was missing its “.img” extension.
Renaming the file (adding the img), corrected that surprise.
So, the ...

Thanks.

It's actually pretty tricky to offer updates through the GUI or even schedule to run automatically because sometimes updates want to change etc files which should always be reviewed in person and the routine would come to a halt because of this.

Re: Bubbagen Live-USB for B3 version 1.18 (Gentoo Profile 23)


Gordon,
Thank you for this work.
I intend to upgrade one of my B3 servers (running 1.14.5) later this month.
We will see how the process goes (What did I forget?)

I will do Live USB First, before committing to writing to server’s HD with backup files.

Gentoo Live-USB for B3 (Systemd, Profile 23)

Hi,

While it has proven to be impossible to maintain a full working Live-USB for the Bubbagen system using systemd init ¹) the switch to Gentoo's Profile 23 seemed too important to let pass and so together with me publishing Bubbagen version 1.18 I have added a "vanilla" Gentoo on B3 Systemd ...

Re: Debian bookworm (12) image 1.0 released for B3



I only can install Bookworm with 10Gb space.
I want to use the whole disk with Debian bookworm.

As stated in the install.ini file :
## size (default: 10; minimal 8): size of system partition to create in GiB (if applicable). Use 'full' to use
## all the available space.
You need to set size ...

Re: Bubbagen live-USB for B3 version 1.16 revision 1 (Gentoo Linux 6.1.41)

I ran some tests and it turns out the the fallback address method doesn't really work as expected (any more)

One of the things I noted is that the DHCP client does not execute the exit hooks when it issues the fallback address. It also turns out that the DHCP server is in fact not started when the ...

Re: Bubba Server Install images

My suggestion is that you simply clone your current disk rather than start from scratch. Since the Bubba series has always used 'green' disks there should not be a real issue finding a disk with the same size as these are still pretty standard in USB enclosures. You could in fact buy one of those ...
