Big picture: the "Virtual Studio" hosting concept.

Still a little in flux, but I've pretty much settled on this idea:

Users get a SSO (possibly the YunoHost portal access), and some space for a collection of apps useful for online creators:

* Fedi social platform for community (and also promotion)
* A blog (Wordpress/Ghost/Pelican/?)
* File-sharing / office / source (Nextcloud w/ External Storage)
* Access to a substantial HDD on the server for source trees, DAMS, etc. -- currently it's 8 TB total. But I can expand on that if there's call for it.
* Some space for a static webpage (use any generator you like or craft it with a text editor).
* PeerTube, Pixelfed to showcase your work (I'm inclined to just use PeerTube for audio as well as video, but there are also audio platforms)
* Backup/archive tool -- might offer to burn your data to an M-Disc and ship it to you for a nominal subscription (since this is basically what I do for my own archives).

Probably will have some kind of "freemium" model to support it/me financially: I.e. a free account is small, but you can pay for more storage or something.

Also, I might do some kind of special case for people who create "free culture" stuff (CC-0, CC-By, CC-BY-SA, or GPL/FOSS for games, etc).

It'll start out experimentally, and then maybe get formalized if it looks like it's going to work out.

I am still a bit of a tenderfoot when it comes to the technology, so I won't be able to promise phenomenal up-time. Think more "funky little digital maker space" rather than "shiny obsidian and chrome startup". This is going to be a used server parked in a datacenter in Dallas with a little space to share out.

Sort of testing the waters here.

#Fediverse #Software #VirtualStudio #Community

Motivations for having this discussion now:

There are three.

1) I've been planning to create a "Virtual Server" setup for years, discovered YunoHost as a means to get there in 2022, and decided to move from the cloud to a physical co-located server in 2023, and have been procrastinating for too long. I feel like I need to just leap and get it done, so I'm trying to sort out details.

2) With political uncertainty and anxiety, I've been told the Thing To Do is "Build Community", and I'm kind of literally-minded, so I thought maybe I should just literally build a community. I also feel like I have the means, which maybe not everybody does, so maybe that makes it my duty?

3) I've just been informed that the small Hometown instance I'm using for my "personal" Fedi account might be shutting down soon (not many people still using it). So I'm considering whether I need to migrate to another 3rd party server or if I should instead accelerate my own plans to set up a Fedi server.

This is my *personal* account, where I am bit more free with my opinions. I also have a *professional* account at @TerryHancock@m.filmfreedom.net .

Thinking further about the Nextcloud rollout:

Much of the stuff I was considering storing on s3fs is already there. And if I switch to an alternate object-storage-based filesystem, such as JuiceFS, the migration process should be nothing more than a simple copy, followed by remounting the storage on the same mount-point. Nextcloud doesn't actually need to know how the backend works -- just that it looks like a filesystem.

So there's no risk to just sitting pat with what I have.

Also, even if I move it to another type of filesystem, I'll still have the filesystem level access to the data, so migrating to another system or integrating with other software should be simple.

In fact, migrating out of Gitea should be a simple matter of doing a checkout onto the external storage. If the performance really does suck, I can then copy it to another external storage within Nextcloud (I think).

The rest of the material I want to store in Nextcloud is small enough that there is no real reason to put it into object storage. And there is one reason not to: surely it is more secure to keep private "office" documents on the same server (if I need to upload them at all, that is).

And finally, it appears that there isn't enough reason to keep using ResourceSpace , since Nextcloud replicates the key features I would have been using it for. Instead, I should probably be looking at the available Nextcloud apps to see if I can fill in any gaps in functionality (mainly the ability to read and extract metadata and preview information from a range of file types).

So it looks like I may not even have to reinstall Nextcloud. Just invest some time in organizing and tagging.

I guess another point is that, with the large multimedia files, there's no appending or editing of files going on. It's always a full read and/or write of the file. Which is I think where the bottleneck happens that s3ql and JuiceFS deal with, because they essentially store block=object instead of file=object on the back end.

I've just had so damned many systems break on me over the years that things that break the file-metadata link for performance reasons give me the heebie-jeebies! If it does break, it's going to be like trying to recover a harddrive with "undelete". 😬

But maybe I'm worrying too much. IDK. #VirtualStudio #Infrastructure #Nextcloud

@ossssip@mastodon.online

Interesting.

I suppose performance could be an issue. The reason I like s3fs, though, is because it preserves a 1:1 relationship between files and objects -- the object storage bucket is human-navigable, not a bunch of hashed data blocks.

The ability to recover from failures along the software stack is pretty important to me, and it's going to take a very big performance problem to outweigh that for me.

Will have to consider this.

Do you know if the issues were latency or throughput?

My main concern for object-storage is the behavior for large files ( > 100 MiB). I imagine I'll be storing most of the smaller files, like office documents on the primary storage, which might just be the volume on my VPS server -- which should be pretty fast.
#VirtualStudio #Infrastructure #Nextcloud

I'd say my biggest challenge is that I need to understand how access control works with Nextcloud .

I have information I need to keep secret/secure (like contributor contact info). Not just from the public, but also from each other. Probably some kind of "secure forms" database. I very likely have a legal requirement to do that, aside from just good ethics.

Other information that needs to be "open" to the public, for me to meet the definition of an "open movie" project.

But also to retain control over who gets to edit and upload files locally.

Lot of fine details to learn, and I've barely scratched the surface.

I THINK that it may be better for me to use an s3fs volume which appears as a local filesystem which I can use as "External Storage" in Nextcloud, rather than configuring object storage for Nextcloud's primary storage -- though of course, I could do both.

The advantage to the s3fs external-storage approach is that it retains filenames and metadata on-disk, rather than using hashes to access the data. This means that other applications could read the data directly from the disk, and also that if something happened to corrupt Nextcloud's database, it would be easier to recover -- or migrate to different software.

IoW, I think external storage might avoid some lock-in issues.

Ansible and YunoHost are kind of an iffy combination.

YunoHost is based on a "continuous integration" model. So each time you run it, it tries to get the most up-to-date versions of the software. Sometimes this fixes problems, but other times, things break. There isn't a clean "release" or "version" schedule to stick to.

Which is in conflict with the notion of "repeatable installation" that motivated using a configuration management system like Ansible. Which is really closer to what I feel like I need as a DIY-maintainer.

The continuous-integration approach requires a larger risk of unpredictable demand for IT work. Any upgrade can result in breakage that is hard to recover from.

YunoHost provides a through-the-web GUI approach to managing the configuration, which eases the ongoing burden of the work, but it obviously can't eliminate it -- and apps will occasionally break.

And for my needs, YunoHost doesn't cover all the configuration: I still need to get in and make changes to configuration files. Ansible is handy for doing that in a predictable way -- so long as the configuration files don't change much.

I'm not sure there's a solution for this, other than acknowledging that IT work is an ongoing project expense: either in my time, or in money, if I were to pay someone else to do it.
#FilmFreedom #VirtualStudio #Infrastructure #Ansible #YunoHost

So, after a few revisions, it looks like the new "virtual studio" will consist of a set of packages installed with YunoHost and Ansible. This is probably what I'll be starting 2023 with:

Wordpress : Blog & CMS -- hub site. 🆙
PeerTube : Video distribution. 🆙
Misskey, Pixelfed : PR, possibly team communications. 🆙 🆙 (But considering migrating from Misskey to Calckey).
Resource Space : Asset management. 🛠
Nextcloud : Production sources and office documents. 🛠
Collabora : Live online office documents. ⌚
Gitea : Software and website sources. 🆙

And possibly:
Galene : Videoconferencing. 🤷‍♂️ Untested.

Also static websites, like https://lunatics.tv

I have some other stuff installed, but I'm not seeing much use for it. I think I might remove the extras.

Taking a little break after a whole lot of IT work on the new "virtual studio" platform for the project. I'm now doing some long-awaited hardware maintenance and cleaning up my workspace.

The Project source repositories are now back online, in a much more accessible way, via Gitea:

It's no longer necessary to go through hoops to get your browser to go there -- I have a proper HTTPS certificate setup, as opposed to the self-signed arrangement I had with our SVN/Trac site before.

Finishing up our 2022 "Virtual Studio" site launch this week!

The whole year will be a bit of a shakedown, but the major elements are in place, now, with the hub (which uses Wordpress) at

https://lunaticsproject.org

And of course, you're already reading our main point of contact with the Fediverse, using Misskey.

We also have a Gitea server for production source files and a PeerTube server for releasing our video content, so we are mostly back to self-hosting again. I do intend to cross-post videos to Vimeo for the time-being, just in case there are performance issues with our PeerTube site.
