Yeah. And it’s not even simply the latency piece. It’s the locks and every little thing like that. Like NFS simply doesn’t deal with it so properly. Just like the latency I can form of recover from. However like SQLite normally, you’ll have these locks which can be like locked which you can’t unlock and also you’ll get corruption and stuff like that.
However NFS mounts have been nice. Yeah. I imply, you bought to determine permissions and stuff like that. You realize, and I went down that route, you understand, too for some time. However then it’s like I’ve to again up. I’ve to love, you understand, care for functions over right here, you understand, arrange all these mounts and do all that stuff. After which additionally nonetheless, you understand, care and feeding for that— NFS mounts and snapshots and hold that connection up. And once more, you’re again to, you understand, you’ve simply, you understand, doubled your possibilities of downtime, you understand, two— you understand, it takes two, proper? It takes two to make one.
So, you understand, and once more, like I’ve gone forwards and backwards with this like so many instances, you understand, it’s like this complete generalized versus specialised, you understand, that you just see throughout IT and, you understand, enterprise normally. I’ve generalized and specialised my server so many instances that like I believe I’m forward of like company entities that do that with their workers.
And so I’ve specialised and generalized my NAS so many instances with so many alternative issues. However proper now, I’m touchdown on this. And I believe quite a lot of it has to do with two issues. Properly, really three— one, TrueNAS ditched Kubernetes, went again to plain Docker, which was superior, as a result of I by no means would have finished it in the event that they have been nonetheless working the entire Kubernetes bit. However they went again to simply customary containers, quote unquote customary containers, you understand, Docker photos, Docker containers, like I ought to say.
Two, then I’m capable of do it with the YAML as a result of I’m not going to fill out their kinds. Like in the event that they ever take that away, I’m bailing, I’m going to search out one thing else to do as a result of simply not me, like I don’t need to fill out a type, you understand, to have the ability to, you understand, put in my setting variables, like with the .env file, I copy and paste them in there, like why ought to I’ve to try this in a type? I get why they exist as a result of individuals aren’t builders. However that’s not how I need to handle my containers. A variety of that has to do with Kubernetes too.
After which, you understand, the opposite piece is that this complete like hybrid— properly, it has rather a lot to do with what you simply stated is like, hey, you have got this beast of a machine simply sitting there doing nothing, you understand. I really feel prefer it’s that meme the place that man’s like poking that factor with the stick and he’s like, do one thing, you understand, that’s form of how I really feel if my NAS is like, you understand, watch the metrics.
