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.

Fedora next: Each Edition has a story for each release
by Peter Boy 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

I want to point us to Matthews posting today: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/objective-review-each-edition-has-a-… I think, it is a good idea, although at first glance not without some challenge. So I would like to start a discussion about our story for F39. When I mentally review our past discussions, several options spontaneously come to mind: 1. Our (famous) Ansible project (Server Edition local desktop management console, control node, Server administration desktop spin). 2. Server Edition in a virtualized environment (installation support / installation images for multiple VPS hosting environments). 3. Server Edition on modern Single Board Computer (SBC) (useful scenarios; improved support for particularly suitable models; recommendations) 4. Backup and restore made easy 5. Server Edition as identification server (typical usage configuration / setup, typical scenarios) 6. Server Edition as local or public file server (NFS, Samba, Cockpit support) 7. Newly polished installation media, maybe additionally an alternative directory tree for better isolation of system and user software, maybe sort of image based media (cf. the OpenSuSE discussion ) 8. Server Edition als central management and installation server (pxe boot server et.al.) These are just some ideas. Some need a longer time of development and preparation, specifically the latter ones, some are realizable at shorter notice, in particular the former ones. Something like 2. or 3. maybe realistic candidates for F39, a first part of 1., 4., 5. could get candidates for F40, the others may need a longer preparation and development work. Perhaps we should start by making a list of potential future focus areas and topics that we are interested in working on. So, in a first step everybody of us should specify one or more topics they are interested to work on and/or to contribute to. As an example, from the above list I would be interested on 1., 2., 3., 7. We would then have to put this in a chronological order and find a project lead and contributors for each at least of the first 2-3 topics. Well, the floor is open. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy pboy(a)fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora docs team contributor Java developer and enthusiast
