The Kasten 8.5 Webinar has made me want to kickstart my Kasten. Universal FLR and AI backup Blueprints are on their way so now is the time to learn!
This will be a daily series, yes not joking, lazy Geoff has made this self challenge, no excuses!
Zero to Hero in a mater of a few weeks so that by early next year when Kasten 8.5 drops anyone who wants to hop on board will be ready.
Spoiler Alert, I am wandering into slightly uncharted territory so come along and enjoy me making mistakes and encountering weird and wonderful OS behavior!
Here are the instructions if you would like to follow along:
VM settings in Proxmox
CPU type: HOST
CPU: 1 socket 6 cores
Memory: 32 GB
Hard Drive 200 to 300 GB (this depends on what you want to do and how many workloads you want to try and run)
Boot off to the Rocky Linux minimal iso.
After installing always update:
sudo dnf update -yInstall extras repositories:
sudo dnf install epel-release -y
I will install a desktop:
sudo dnf groupinstall “Xfce”I want to be able to RDP into this vm so I will install xrdp
sudo install xrdp -y
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl start xrdp
sudo systemctl status xrdp
#open the port in the firewall
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=3389/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
sudo firewall-cmd --list-ports
