Proposal: Changes to Fedora Server default partitioning scheme
by Stephen Gallagher 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

The following proposal comes out of the discussion at this weeks Server SIG meeting[1] Fedora Server will have: * / (root) will be a minimum of 2 GiB and a maximum of 15 GiB * SWAP will continue to be calculated automatically based on available RAM on the system * All unused space will be assigned to a volume group and available to be assigned to new partitions or extend existing partitions. * Anaconda will continue to handle the appropriate EFI and /boot settings We also discussed during the meeting whether we should have a separate /var partition by default, but the general sense was that we might be better served by developing a mechanism to allow partitions to be split from existing mount points, which would be more flexible going forward. As we did not have quorum in the meeting by the point we got to this proposal, I'm taking it to the list for discussion and votes. For the record, the current behavior of the partitioning scheme is for / to be given up to 50 GiB of space and then any remaining space after that is assigned to a separate /home partition.

Federa 35 Server default editor
by Peter Boy 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

In Fedora 34 the default editor was nano, for Workstation and also for Server. In my latest default F35 Server installation I noticed vim-default-editor was installed. Did some good soul take pity and bring vim back to us or did something go wrong with my installation? Best Peter

Fedora Server Website Header Graphic Updated - Take 2
by mowest 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Below you will find the link to the thread where you will see the latest blender render for our new website header image. I believe Emma Kidney is on the right track following the feedback I have received from the Server WG so far. She is going with the concept of picturing an actual hardware server which many of you liked the idea of instead of going with more abstract concepts. She rendered a small rack of server hardware in the hopes of hitting the target users being small to medium businesses. She has also taken into consideration the decreasing the orange color that is part of the color palette for Fedora Server. You can see that is is muted by being part of the gradient of the background and a few of the buttons on the server rack. The rest of the colors are coming from the Fedora Marketing Teams chosen color pallet which they try to use to give a consistent look to all media that comes out about Fedora and its editions. I'm very happy with Emma's work, she is going to play around a little more with the colors and the textures in the graphic, but she is hoping that this is heading in the right direction. Please share your comments with the entire server mailing list. I will get your feedback back to Emma in the next few days. https://gitlab.com/fedora/design/team/wwwfpo-2022/-/issues/23 I sent a message previously that had the header graphic attached, but this caused my message to be moderated since it was over 40kb, so you will have to use the link above instead to see the image. Scroll down to Emma's last message. mowest ---------> discoverfoss.com

Next step is the finetuning of the mission statements ==== Shorter Shutdown Timer ==== We are still evaluating the possible impact and current configuration of the core services. ==== Action summary ==== 1. pboy to create a ticket to collect our central messages for the new web site 2. nirik to look up the services in our technical specification and check for time out value 3. pboy to create a list of our core services in the issue for further discussion

Fedora Server Webpage Graphic Elements Update
by mowest 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Emma Kidney has done some great design work on two different concepts for the header image of our future Fedora Server page. I'm very excited by her creative work, and I think she has come up with some unique ideas / concepts to greatly improve our new Fedora Server page compared to our current Fedora Server page on getfedora.org/server. I really need your feedback to see if you would like to push forward with one of the concepts that Emma has put together. If you go to the demo site that is located here: https://fedora.gitlab.io/websites-apps/fedora-websites/fedora-websites-3.0/ You will see in the above site examples of the concepts that the other Fedora Editions are using. Workstation looks like a working laptop. IoT has SBC's. Cloud has hot air balloons above a cloud. CoreOS has a neat ball cut open showing gears inside. Personally, I really like "Cloud" and "CoreOS" concept art direction, and would like to see something similar for Fedora Server. Emma has created two possible concepts, both appeal to me in different ways, but I want Server WG to give their input. You can see my ongoing conversation with Niko and Emma and the concept art at this page: https://gitlab.com/fedora/design/team/wwwfpo-2022/-/issues/23 Please scroll to the last three messages, the two from Emma which includes the concept art of 1. a notebook and 2. building blocks. My comments about both of them along with some wording changes that were suggested by the Server WG at our last meeting are in the last message from me. Finally, please include your thoughts, impressions, suggestions for improvements as replies to this email thread so we can keep our whole discussion on the mailing list where everyone in Server WG can see it. Thank you. mowest ---------> discoverfoss.com
