TL;DR
- Software RAID-1 normally do not support dynamic resizing of capacity if larger hard drives are swapped into the RAID array.
- Previously written articles require the use of a separate PC to perform the resizing process.
- Volume syncing, partition, RAID Array and filesystem resizings can be done with out any need of other hardware. The Fonz Fun Plug tool is used to enable remote access into the NAS box.
- The swap partitions on the individual drives are used to avoid external used of storage, which isn’t available on the DNS-321.
Introduction
Yes, the photo above shows a Synology DiskStation. Unfortunately, my early NAS was not a Synology, but a D-Link DNS-321. It does its job well for many years. I opted for a RAID-1 configuration providing me a realtime backup of all my files (I had hard drives failed on me many times). …
TL;DR
- An example of using a headless development environment on a Raspberry Pi using Visual Studio Code and Docker is shown.
- Docker containers allows reproducible development environments that is agnostic to the distribution of the Raspberry OS.
- Similar to most cloud native apps, Docker creates artifacts that are executable on any Docker-enabled Raspberry Pi irrespective of the OS distribution and setup.
Development Container
TL;DR
- Learn how to deploy any Docker container to AWS Fargate using Fargate CLI.
- This tutorial utilizes Visual Studio Code Development Container because it can provide an environment with all the necessary tools on your local machine without much hassle. It can also be reused for other tool chains.
A tutorial using a forked Fargate CLI tool
In my last post, we have gone through the exercise of building and deploying a Lambda service using the AWS SAM CLI via VS Code. In today’s post, I am sharing a similar approach in using the Fargate CLI to deploy a dockerized container services using Amazon Fargate.
There are similar tutorials that demonstrate the use of the Fargate CLI. However, there are some nuances in using the CLI and some inconsistencies in the flows that have to be addressed in its implementation. …
TD;DR
- This is a guided tutorial on setting up a sample AWS Lambda function and to tear it down quickly and cleanly.
- VS Code Development Container is used in this tutorial to demonstrate how it can provide an environment with all the necessary tools on your local machine to start building and deploying AWS services. It can also be reused for other toolchains.
