[05:41] <Gentoon> Hello. I just dusted off an old desktop from 2007 I found in my garage
[05:44] <Gentoon> Installed the latest LTS package on. Id like to use it for a local cloud storage kind of thing where all my phones, tablets, laptops, etc can easily access it as network drive kind of thing. As well as have it stream some TV series and movies via DLNA to my smart TVs, phones and tablets. I'll get to the DLNA stuff later but as far as file sharing goes is a samba server the best bet? I kinda hate samba and would love it if there was 
[05:44] <Gentoon> another alternative I can setup network drives in windows devices with as well as access from Android devices on my LAN? 
[06:12] <alkisg> For file sharing with windows and android devices, samba is indeed the best
[17:53] <JanC> also depends if you want to share or sync or stream stuff...
[19:23] <moha> On a test lab, to deal with a special version of mariadb,  I have mirrored MariDB repos and added this line to the source list.d/mary.list: `deb [trusted=yes, allow-insecure=yes] http://172.17.236.3:8080/mariadb/ jammy main` --> But still it asks for adding `--allow-unauthenticated`!
[19:30] <oerheks> i find ' To make sure that you see a warning while using an insecure repository, better use allow-insecure=yes ' ...
[19:30] <oerheks> trusted=yes should be enough
[20:12] <JanC> moha: why do you need allow-insecure?
[20:13] <moha> looking for a solution to bypass `--allow-unauthenticated`
[20:14] <JanC> but why is it unauthenticated?
[20:16] <JanC> the right solution is to make sure it _is_ authenticated  :)
[20:16] <moha> it's a repo that has not been signed; in a lab env.
[20:18] <moha> The signing process should be done with Ansible that I'm not familiar with it well; The ansible playbook launches some LXC containers.
[20:20] <JanC> as oerheks said trusted=yes should be enough to disable warnings
[20:20] <JanC> also, you might need allow-downgrade-to-insecure=yes if the repository used to be authenticated in the past?
[20:22] <JanC> still, the best solution is to enable signing  :)
[20:22] <JanC> (signing of the Release file)
[20:36] <znf> why did they ever have to drop the legacy installer
[20:36] <znf> god f* damn it
[20:36] <znf> been trying for 2 hours to install 22.04 over a crappy IPMI
[20:36] <znf> downloading 1.4GB of ISO to network boot it is just dumb
[20:37] <oerheks> no need for such language, keep this channel family friendly, thanks.
[20:37] <znf> you try installing this crap for 2+ hours and tell me you're calm 
[20:42] <JanC> one problem is that the ISO is so huge, of course...
[20:44] <JanC> there are some alternatives to netbooting the installer too, of course
[20:51] <JanC> IIRC about 1 GB of that 1.4 GB is firmwares...
[20:51] <JanC> well, 1GB uncompressed
[20:54] <JanC> alternatives = netbooting any debian/ubuntu-like live image & using debootstrap, or something similar
[20:54] <oerheks> server is used nowadays
[20:54] <oerheks> legacy mini iso gives issues.
[20:55] <JanC> which can be a problem as server images are huge noways...  :)
[20:57] <znf> never had issues with mini.iso for 10+ years
[20:57] <znf> I have no PXE environment in that datacenter, it's half-way across the world
[20:57] <JanC> it just bitrotted because nobody took care of it
[20:57] <znf> Virtual File booting from iDRAC fails
[20:57] <JanC> (it also was never officially supported, I think)
[20:57] <znf> trying to chainload ipxe works until it needs to remount iso 
[20:58] <znf> guess my only actual option is to 20.04 mini.iso and then dist-upgrade
[20:58] <znf> but I'm not 100% sure that 22.04 has the driver required for my mellanox
[20:59] <JanC> znf: or if you can get to a shell from that, you can use debootstrap to install 22.04
[21:00] <JanC> instead of having to upgrade
[21:01] <znf> can't really boot shit that is large
[21:02] <znf> obviously, 20.04 mini.iso works just fine
[21:05] <JanC> if you can get a shell on that (or on any other live ISO based on Debian, or even any other linux), you should be able to install Ubuntu 22.04 using debootstrap
[21:06] <znf> I'll just install 20.04 
[21:06] <znf> not gonna bother debootstrapping 
[21:06] <znf> then I'll dist-upgrade
[21:06] <JanC> that's onyl a temporary solution, of course
[21:07] <JanC> you don't want to install 20.04 & upgrade 2-3-? times for future releases...  :-/
[21:09] <znf> I have to install 3 servers, I'm not gonna bother doing debootstrap 3 times
[21:13] <JanC> it might actually be faster...
