| 14:34 | <Lantizia> any tips on managing software that unfortunately usually gets installed to the users home dir? (e.g. wine apps/games, dosbox mounts, unfortunately steam games too.. and even some gog games shouldn't be installed system-wide either if they're also using dosbox)
| |
| 14:35 | i was thinking that on the central system (i.e. where ltsp is running from, the nfs server) that /home should maybe be btrfs with in-line dedup turned on... so it doesn't use up tonnes of space if you get something daft like 30 people installing 30 copies of half-life 2 :P
| |
| 14:36 | or at least a filesystem for /home which does reflinks (e.g. xfs, btrfs again, etc... not ext4 though) and a cron job to detect duped blocks/files
| |
| 14:36 | but if the goal is for people to just sit and and *use* the software... and unfortunately it won't run system wide... that'd mean logging in all 30 machines and manually running around them all
| |
| 14:36 | not to mention updates :S
| |
| 15:12 | <quinox> I normally just buy bigger harddrives
| |
| 15:12 | they are cheap :)
| |
| 15:12 | and adding a few TB is faster than trimming down a few GB
| |
| 15:13 | we6jbo has joined IRC (we6jbo!~we6jbo@2603-8001-5b43-4000-ba56-c4c8-90a4-fd91.res6.spectrum.com) | |

| 15:22 | <quinox> it's about 10GB for Halflife 2, times 30 is 300GB... A Samsung 2.5" 1TB costs me €130
| |
| 15:24 | and I have soft size limit for people's homedirs, they are free to do whatever they want with it but if they exceed XGB I'm calling it excessive and order them to reduce it
| |
| 15:26 | I also hand out old spinning platter drives that have been decommissioned from production, people can add them to their machines and fill them with whatever
| |
| 15:29 | it's not as cool as a dedup filesystem, I grant you that
| |
| 15:33 | I've tuned my LTSP setup such that stuff like Docker containers, MySQL and Postgres DBs automatically run from local harddrives: way faster for people that way
| |
| 15:35 | (everybody gets a 500GB SSD for that (€60), the spinning platters is for people that want more)

| 19:25 | <alkisg> rodriguez^jarvis: sure you can add as many servers as you like
| |
| 19:25 | But if you want automatic load balancing or home migration, nope, it's not automatic
