Folks,
On our May 03 meeting we decided:
"WG will pursue ... for F39 ... 'Fedora Server Edition in virtualized environments' with 2nd priority."
I wrote a proposal of a project description:
------ So far, both documentation as well as installation media are very much focused on running a Fedora server on hardware or as a virtualized guest of a Fedora host on hardware. In both cases, the system administrator has the most extensive configuration options.
In view of the enormous increases in hardware performance, an individual server project is often no longer able to exploit this performance. A market has developed where professionalized service providers offer a virtualized runtime environment for individual servers, known as "virtual private server" (VPS) or "virtual dedicated server" (VDS). In this case, the setup options of an administrator are significantly more limited. For example, the installation must follow the provider's specifications and organizational requirements.
The =goal= is (a) to facilitate and simplify the operation of a Fedora server in such a runtime environment by providing special documentation and (b) also provide customized installation media, if useful. ———
Ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/110
Discussion of our first priority project via hacked.io is not so successful, so far. Maybe it’s easier using the Mailing List.
As a =next step= I suggest to post on the user mailing list and on discussion and ask for experiences running Fedora Server in a (commercial) VPS / VDS.
It would be really helpful if we could reach agreement on the project plan as well as the next step in the next few days. The dead line for a change proposal (if we want to offer a customized installation medium) is July 18, 2023. That's still a little way off, but not too long either.
