| 09:32 | <alkisg> vagrantc: regarding ltsp manpage generation: debootstrap bullseye, then apt install ronn => After this operation, 277 MB of additional disk space will be used.
| |
| 09:32 | apt install pandoc => After this operation, 136 MB of additional disk space will be used.
| |
| 09:32 | apt install go-md2man => instant
| |
| 09:33 | ronn hasn't been updated for ages; go-md2man has various issues; I'm inclined to change the Makefile.sh to only support pandoc from now on
| |
| 09:33 | Is that OK with you, or do you also need some minimal go-md2man compatibility for building locally without downloading a lot of packages?

| 16:15 | <sfxworks[m]> Do I need ltsp on the client image? What if I don't want to use debian? I would like to use this with Manjaro or arch

| 17:33 | <alkisg> sfxworks: if you want to boot clients with ltsp mode, i.e. many clients booting from the same read only image on the server, using tmpfs/overlayfs/ltsp init etc etc, then the client needs to be debian-based
| |
| 17:33 | Currently, ltsp can only do that with "initramfs-tools", which is what debian-based distributions do
| |
| 17:33 | In the past, it was successfully used in gentoo (genkernel), fedora and opensuse (dracut) etc, but there are no maintainers for them now
| |
| 17:34 | So while ltsp is "injected" into the client initramfs and doesn't need to be installed in the image, the image needs to use initramfs-tools (debian), not dracut/genkernel etc
| |
| 17:35 | Once someone implements support for dracut/genkernel, then it'll be possible to boot any distribution with ltsp; personally I have no interest in that, unless I"m hired to implement it
| |
| 17:35 | Of course, you can netboot any livecd in non-ltsp mode, because livecd manage their own overlayfs etc, but you won't have ldap, shared home etc
| |
| 17:36 | Or, you can boot a single client over an nfs rw mount, but not many
| |
| 17:36 | I.e. you lose all the ltsp magic

| 20:16 | <sfxworks[m]> What would be required for multiple read only clients via nfs? I imagine I could have stateful/independent data mounted on its local disk.
| |
| 20:17 | Would I just run `ltsp nfs` and add it to exports?

| 20:56 | <alkisg> sfxworks: you would need to reimplement ltsp
| |
| 20:56 | (or a live-cd like system anyway)
