Follow along as I install my new RaspberryPIs into a new PI Rack. The hardware was gracefully provided by Textalk.

We look into how to store data in Ceph using the S3 API. Talking about API options and showing a custom solution for storing, recieving, deleting and checking existance in a Ceph S3 using PHP.

In this video, we test our installation, adding volumes, making backups, and working with instances.

We look into Ceph Rados and try to figure out how Ceph stores data. The main goal is to read data from one cluster as raw objects and write it back to another cluster.

In this video, we look into installing an Openstack Compute node and connecting it with our controller node.

We are looking into OpenMetal. How to get started and what is included. OpenMetal is a service where you get an OpenStack solution in a box with a Ceph cluster deployed on dedicated hardware.

In this video, we look at installing Neutron to handle networks in the Openstack cluster.

We look into how iSCSI works inside of Ceph. How to set it up and configure windows to connect to a drive.

In this video, we look into installing Placement and Nova services. The Placement service is used to gather statistics about your cluster and figure out where to put instances. Nova is the controller and compute nodes that will do the actual work.

I am looking into POE (Power Over Ethernet). What is required to run servers without having a power cord? I’ve been really curious, so it was fun to learn about it.

We look into how to set up FastCGI Process Manager (FPM). What configuration options and considerations are important.
