David West's questions

I want to learn how to automatically provision certain boxes with specific curtin or cloud init scripts and control which machine gets what with tags. Is this common usage of MAAS and supported?

Note I am not in an Enterprise environment and have set up MAAS on a used PowerEdge that I use for experimentation and learning.

For instance I might have the following tags with the following characteristics

• Desktop: Has a desktop and remote desktop access enabled
• Docker: set up to have Docker and run containers
• ...

Thanks

I have a Kubernetes cluster. I want to find opportunities to contribute to scientific efforts with the compute and memory resources I have available.

I am interested in providing resources for

• math research
• cancer research
• SETI
• and more

Please advise with any recommended

• helm charts
• operators
• manifests

I am especially interested in ones that display performance information to see if the cluster is offering value to the efforts.

Thanks!

I am looking for an extended spell or charm bundle that includes block storage and ideally object storage as well as Kubernetes storageclasses. I like ceph but I am open to alternatives.

After I deploy some charms with Juju how do I update all the SSH keys in the model if they change?

I started with conjure-up but never got the summary screen with all the endpoints.

I do not know how to access graylog. I tried hitting the ip for Apache2 but that showed me some sort of Apache welcome screen for Ubuntu.

I've noticed that I can't get MAAS to enlist or commission boxes that are set to UEFI PXE boot. Only legacy works. How can I get UEFI PXE booting working. One of my best boxes has no legacy boot option int he BIOS.

I have MAAS working in my home and it is brilliant. I followed this guide, https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/03/06/maas-for-the-home, just not using lxd.

I need to know how to log in to nodes after a deploy. Thanks!

Is there a way I can set up ssh and users on every deployed box?

I was going to have myself a good ole time using purr-data, https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data, and discovered, horror of horrors that Bionic does not have some packages the lead maintainer lists as dependencies.

E: Package 'slv2-jack' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libslv2-dev' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libjpeg62-turbo' has no installation candidate

Well. Shucks.

Suggestions please.

I want to use umake to provision vms and containers. umake ide [idexyz] needs interaction and asks questions during the install. How can I about this?

I can see through the Jujucharms website that my model has been deployed, but I can not see anything in my AWS console.

When I execute apt-get install ruby-full ruby-dev I am getting ruby 2.3. I want ruby 1.9.3.

How do I get it to install ruby 1.9.3?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.0.4 Xenial.
