pansoti

Introduction

This page describes the installation of pansoti, which is my JupyterHub server.

Hardware

These are a combination of my partitioning standard (revision 1) and special hardware requirements as described at Configuring JupyerHub (revision 1).

• LXC container with UID/GID offsets according to my UID/GID offset standard
• 1 x 10GB disk for OS
• 1 x 20GB disk for /home
• 2 x CPUs
• 4 GB RAM
• to be partitioned according to my partitioning standard (revision 1)
• 1 NIC on public network (192.168.1.0/24)

Procedure

1. Make note of the following volume creation commands:

   create-perfect-drbd-vol -v --remote=ziti --name=pansoti     --size=10G \
       --name1=pici --ip1=192.168.3.10 --name2=ziti --ip2=192.168.3.13
   create-perfect-drbd-vol -v --remote=ziti --name=pansoti_home --size=20G \
       --name1=pici --ip1=192.168.3.10 --name2=ziti --ip2=192.168.3.13

   and the following container recreation commands:

   create-basic-lxc-cnt -v --remote=ziti --name=pansoti \
       --offset=500000 \
       --cpus=2 \
       --mem=4G \
       --disk=block:/dev/drbd_pansoti \
       --disk=block:/dev/drbd_pansoti_home \
       --nic=bridge:br0 \
       --release=bookworm

2. Complete Installing Debian 12 on an LXC container with the default hardware.
3. Due to current limitations in create-basic-lxc-cnt, the pansoti_home DRBD device was mounted on /srv/home. To fix this do the following:
   1. Shut down the container.
   2. Run:

      virsh edit pansoti

   3. Locate the mountpoint and correct it.
   4. Restart the container.
   5. Propogate/repeat the change on the other virtualisation server.
   6. Log in to the container and run:

      rmdir /srv/home

4. Complete Configuring JupyerHub (revision 1).
5. Complete Finalising a Linux installation.
