| 12:49 | <danboid> I know I've asked about hosting LTSP in Azure/AWS before and last time the response was that no-one had tried it but it wasn't recommended. Has anything changed? ie has someine tried doing this since I last asked?
| |
| 12:49 | I know it would require at leas a local DHCP server
| |
| 12:51 | <highvoltage> you could probably host a rootfs there but the question would just be 'why?' since it would certainly have a lot worse latency than having that stored somewhere locally
| |
| 12:52 | <danboid> My employer is trying to avoid using locally hosted servers, its "cloud first"
| |
| 13:00 | <highvoltage> ah yes I remember you now, yeah nothing has changed in physics or computer science since you last asked, having your root filesystem on somewhere on the internet is still not a good idea
| |
| 13:00 | <danboid> Haha :)

| 14:09 | <alkisg> danboid: in my schools I have a grub/ipxe option "boot from the I.T. support office LTSP server", which they can use an boot over the internet, when their local installation fails and they need troubleshooting and they don't have a live cd etc
| |
| 14:10 | It's been working fine for ages. And yeah, it's still extremely slow; 10 mbps with a lot of latency isn't really appropriate as a root file system, it's like trying to boot windows 10 from floppy disks or something
| |

| 15:13 | <alkisg> danboid: what might make sense though, would be to have a tiny local OS, enough to boot and then remote-desktop into an aws instance
| |
| 15:13 | E.g. raspberry with xfreerdp or sshvnc
| |
| 15:14 | mgariepy has left IRC (mgariepy!~mgariepy@ubuntu/member/mgariepy, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 15:14 | <alkisg> ...well, you could also netboot that tiny os, it wouldn't take long to netboot it

| 15:52 | <danboid> alkisg, Nah, x86 fat clients it is

| 16:32 | mmarconm has joined IRC (mmarconm!~mmarconm@unaffiliated/mmarconm) | |
| 16:45 | <||cw> if you have gigabit link and <2ms latency to AWS, thin clients on AWS would probably work fine.
| |
| 16:47 | I get about 20ms to one aws region on my 20Mbit fiber.
| |
| 16:54 | <mmarconm> ||cw: are u using ltsp on aws ?
| |
| 17:03 | <||cw> no, but I can see a use case for it. bandwidth and latency matter a lot, so picking the right region is important, and being "close enough" to that region is a make or break point.

| 17:16 | JuJUBee has joined IRC (JuJUBee!~knichel@24.148.115.153) | |
| 17:16 | <JuJUBee> I just installed a program using snap for the first time. I updated the image and my users cannot run the program.
| |
| 17:18 | mmarconm has left IRC (mmarconm!~mmarconm@unaffiliated/mmarconm, Read error: Connection reset by peer) | |
| 17:30 | <JuJUBee> It seems that /snap/bin is not mounted for the ltsp users on login?
| |
| 17:45 | <||cw> is it a separate mount? you'll need to add an FSTAB_ param for it
| |
| 17:46 | first thing I do is uninstall snap :P
| |
| 17:48 | <alkisg> JuJUBee: which ltsp version?
| |
| 17:51 | <JuJUBee> ltsp-server 5.18.12
| |
| 17:51 | <alkisg> Try with the new one it should work
| |
| 17:52 | !install
| |
| 17:52 | <ltspbot> install: To install LTSP: https://ltsp.org/docs/installation/
| |
| 17:53 | <JuJUBee> Will the install pick up all of my current configs?
| |
| 17:53 | <alkisg> You mean lts.conf? No, it's a completely different ltsp
| |
| 17:54 | <JuJUBee> Is there any way to correct this in my current version? I don't want to be messing mid-year...
| |
| 17:54 | <alkisg> You would need to backport the fix
| |
| 17:54 | <JuJUBee> Out of my wheelhouse...
| |
| 17:54 | <alkisg> I don't want to waste time with the old ltsp, but I'm also available for hire if you like
| |
| 17:55 | <JuJUBee> It is not a critical app, there is another option, so I will wait for summer.
| |
| 17:55 | <alkisg> Sure
