[07:08] <Hamidreza> Hi guys, Is there any way to put my command on startup? (not when user login just when a reboot will happen)
[07:20] <Hamidreza> it is better to use crontab or create systemd unit file for it?
[08:06] <rfm> Hamidreza, crontab is probably quicker to do, since it's just one line in the crontab, but learning how to do systemd units (lots of examples to follow in /lib/systemd) is a useful skill.
[08:07] <rfm> Hamidreza, one advantage of systemd is if something goes wrong you have "systemctl status" to show any output, etc.  whereas cron jobs are famous for just silently not working...
[08:24] <Hamidreza> rfm, thank you , but How can I run command via systemd
[08:31] <lotuspsychje> alterjsive: think its best to contact canonical, https://microk8s.io/
[08:48] <alterjsive> lotuspsychje: I'm working on a filantropic startup called peacepact.org, I'm looking for a kubernetes cluster that is community driven or an organisation that is very friendly to support this kind of project in the startup stage.
[08:49] <alterjsive> still feel a bit hesitant to call organisations while I don't have a decent website yet.
[08:49] <lotuspsychje> alterjsive: have a look at snap find kubernete
[08:50] <alterjsive> lotuspsychje: I was thinking about following this tutorial: https://jonathangazeley.com/2020/09/10/building-a-hyperconverged-kubernetes-cluster-with-microk8s-and-ceph/
[08:52] <alterjsive> last night I also discovered MAAS but I don't want to make things unnessisary complex since I'm a one man team making a proof of concept.
[08:53] <alterjsive> still I aim for a production like environment since I hope to use it in production as soon as possible
[09:54] <alterjsive> I think I'll provision the servers with ansible
[09:56] <lotuspsychje> alterjsive: idle around a bit here, from mondays this channel gets more active, more hints might come your way
[09:57] <alterjsive> lotuspsychje: ok great to hear, thanks!
[11:51] <Hamidreza> Hi guys, I'm binding my service on a name but couldn't bind till I remove following line about ipv6 in /etc/hosts :
[11:51] <Hamidreza> ::1 mongodb.test.local mongodb.test
[12:08] <uzee> My preseed has suddenly stopped doing the partitioning for some reason. I built a machine a couple months ago fine, but today, it creates the VG so its definitely getting to the partitioning part, but it then puts everything under vg-root, any ideas guys?
[12:09] <uzee> I've checked /var/log/installer/partman but dont see any errors
[12:52] <uzee> never mind, the preseed was allocating min 30+ gb and my VM disk was only 20gb so it was probably ignoring it due to that
[12:53] <tomreyn> you're aware that preseed support is being phased out?
[12:54] <tomreyn> i'm not sure what ubuntu release you were using, though, you did not tell.
[13:05] <uzee> tomreyn: oh no, I wasn't aware at all, thanks for pointing out. I was using both Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04
[13:06] <uzee> so if not preseed, then what would be the option for automatic installs?
[13:15] <tomreyn> uzee: autoinstall, as supported by 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS
[13:16] <tomreyn> ...live-server images
[13:21] <uzee> tomreyn: thanks very much, just going over autoinstall right now, looks good. By "...live-server images" you meant that autoinstall uses live-server image aas opposed to the miniboot.iso, correct?
[13:23] <tomreyn> uzee: yes, there are different installer iso images,  the current default (since 18.04) are the ones with 'live-server' in the iso file name.
[13:25] <uzee> got it... I am going over the autoinstall docs to see how it does partitioning (that was my main pain point with preseed, the syntax was horrendous for custom disk layouts with lvm)
[13:26] <uzee> But looks like autoinstall has a much cleaner way to do that ;)
[13:28] <uzee> on a slightly diff note, I still cant use a local host in our env as is possible in kickstart, right? with preseed it needed to fetch packages from archive/cc.ubunutu.com
[13:36] <tomreyn> using a custom / local mirror server is possible, and was previously (debian-installer) possible, too.
[13:38] <tomreyn> proxying should also work (and used to work with debian-installer)
[13:41] <tomreyn> please don't expect to get support with 16.04 LTS here after april, though.
[14:08] <uzee> tomreyn: thanks much. Yes I was aware of the local mirror option but for some reason I remember had run into something and couldn't get it to work. Wasn't aware of the proxy option, might be worth a try
[14:09] <uzee> thanks for the 16.04 reminder
[15:36]  * JamesB192 is trying to enable apache2 /cgi-bin on 20.04 and thinks -DUSR_LIB_CGI_BIN needs to be passed somewhere...
[15:44] <JamesB192> Ah, it needed another symlink and a web search.
