2x 8TB RAID1 on MacOS via Thunderbolt 4
Since I’m putting huge loads on my MacStudios, I wanted to get the read/write load away from the internal SSDs and get a bit more redundancy in case an SSD fails.
All my containers running in Podman are now placed onto a SSD RAID1 on two Western Digital SN850X 8TB NVMe m.2 SSDs which I placed into an Anyoyo dual NVMe fan Thunderbolt-4 casing.
I’m still not sure if I should put all LLM model caching directories onto this RAID1 and export it from there, or put it on the main NAS and mount it from there via 10GB/s. Also MacStudio/Link via 80GB/s TB5 would be an option, but currently I don’t wont ip forwarding there…
Blog site moved
I finally migrated my wordpress blog over from https://teddy.spacetechnology.net to https://myblog.kobaan.nl
The whole thing now runs in a podman pod on the “smaller” 256GB MacStudio, as compared to the tight FreeBSD jail before.
All my docker images are automatically updated using watchtower, and wordpress also uses auto update.
Unfortunately the migration broke 5 times, as I had to readjust resources a lot. And finally changing the domain broke 1400 links, which I had to repair. Now still some images are mysteriously unlinked although the media browser can see them. I try to fix that the next days…
