Server-config on immutable os (microos or core-os or derivatives thereof)

Bringup is getting easier and easier as I accept & learn the container way of things.
Layer nothing, container everything. This is the way.

The blueprint

  1. Add user as an unprivileged “supervisor/keeper” for podman services 
     sudo useradd -u 1011 -d /srv/serverus vernon
 sudo passwd vernon
  2. Mount raid array to /srv
    a. lsblk to find md# of raid array
    b. blkid md# to get the UUID of the raid array
    c. Add line UUID=<foundUUID> /srv auto defaults 0 0 to fstab to mount raid array to /srv
    d. sudo mount -a to test auto mounting of raid array
  3. Setup server apps
    a. find service.container files at /srv/container/.
    - jellyfin unit contents
    - transmission unit contents
    b. symbolically link .container (quadlet) files from /srv/containers/ to /etc/containers/systemd/
    c. systemctl daemon-reload
    d. systemctl start <serviceName>
  4. Setup network shares
    a. Samba quadlet?
    b. NFS quadlet? Bazzite says don’t bother.
    Essentially just use what works for all, and that’s SMB.

Configs

WIP

Use named-volumes for cache and config
