#+DESCRIPTION: Configuration details for the limiting-factor machine, which is set to become a file server
|
|
|
|
* Machine Overview
|
|
|
|
*Machine Name:* limiting-factor
|
|
*Culture Reference:* LimitingFactor (GSV) - A machine that defines boundaries or bottlenecks
|
|
*Role:* File Server (Future)
|
|
*Current Status:* Minimal configuration, preparation phase
|
|
|
|
* Hardware Specifications
|
|
|
|
- *CPU:* Intel N150 (low-power processor)
|
|
- *RAM:* 12 GB
|
|
- *Storage:* Six NVMe slots available for future storage expansion
|
|
- *Filesystem:* ext4 (for simplicity and reliability)
|
|
|
|
* Configuration Details
|
|

|
** Users
|
|
- *Primary User:* sma (Diziet Sma - System Administrator)
|
|
- *UID:* 1001 (consistent across machines)
|
|
- *Groups:* wheel, networkmanager, and other admin groups
|
|
|
|
** Current Setup

|
|
- Implement storage management across NVMe slots
|
|
- Add backup and redundancy solutions
|
|
|
|

|
|
- *SSH:* Enabled for remote administration
|
|
|
|
* Security
|
|
|
|

|
- Admin user with sudo access
|
|
|
|
* Notes
|
|
|
|
This machine is currently set up with a minimal configuration to prepare for its future role as a file server. The name "limiting-factor" is fitting as it will potentially define storage boundaries and could become a bottleneck if the storage needs exceed its capabilities.
|
|
|
|
The configuration follows the lab's standard patterns and can be easily extended when the machine is ready to take on its file server responsibilities.
