I thought the definition of "IT Pro" was: "anyone and everyone who manages to figure out how to make a spiceworks account". Or is that just SW's definition?

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Pinky?"

"Um, I fink so, SAM.... but where are we going to find a proper hardware RAID controller at this time of night? NARF!!!"

What if I actually look surprisingly like a round South Park character?

As long as you aren't a Canadian south park character, buddy. lol

The first thing she tasted was the bitterness of sorrow for wasting 16 years of her life.

What ever happened to "work / life balance"? I don't have a home lab because I unplug when I leave the office. Wouldn't mind having a lab to dick around with between 9am-6pm, but I have no desire to have noisy ass servers blaring on in my home. So I guess I'd be fuct if I ever went to find a new job?

Listening to nightly incessant barking from the neighbors' dogs while editing some audio.

May as well record it. Never know when it will be useful as an audio background, lol.

I've done experimental, avant garde pieces from such ambient sounds.

At the studio, making guitar overdubs happen. Stupid guitarist ;)

Just got a tracking number email for an album I pre-ordered a couple of months back... they use DHL for shipping! Haven't seen that in a while.

It just sounds overall like dell is trying to stay relevant but are using tech from 2017 to do that

And this is a surprise?

No but still gives me the sad feels.

Imagine how I feel having to deploy this nonsense. I guess that's what I get for getting sick and missing 8 months of work.

Thanks to everyone for the great replies. I just got confirmation from Dell that I need to go with the server version. So it's looking like CentOS 8 Stream / Docker CE / Docker compose will be the setup. Stand by, there will probably be more noob questions coming soon.

Yeah wow that's gross that they force those specifically. Maybe Dell should catch up with everything that's going on in the world.

Check the original post, Dell gave us the choice of Docker CE or Docker Enterprise. I just read today that Enterprise license is included with Windows 2016/2019 license, so my assumption that "CE is free but Enterprise is not" was wrong. Dell says we can use either, I listed CE because I was unaware of the license thing with Windows. I will be using Enterprise edition.

I told y'all right up front that I don't know shit about any of this... ;)

Wow gross that you have to use a specific OS under the containers. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Suse needing docker EE (why?) And CentOS/RHEL trying to do their own docker thing. I guess I'd go with CentOS.

Does this have to be compose or can you do k8s?

Not sure, the requirements in the original post are all I know. I have emailed multiple Dell folks for clarification on some stuff, I'll throw that in too.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Another stupid question: Should I be installing the workstation version of the OS instead of server?

Just stick with server.

If you do end up needing additional things that are included with the workstation, they can all be added latter. That is another one of those huge if things, very rarely would they be needed.

I'll try to confirm that with Dell. They are slow on the replies.

Keep in mind that these are not different versions as Microsoft treats different versions of things. All they are is a different set of applications/programs installed by default.

I did notice that on a test run of RHEL. Went with server, got no GUI (as expected). Would I have a GUI with workstation? I do need to be able to make it go and maintain it (it's production stuff), I will have server instances in my work lab for the ongoing learning.

You are thinking of this wrong.
This is an appliance. Sure it is one you are assembling, but after assembled, it is an appliance.

You don't do things to an appliance outside of their designed admin interface.

In this case, you are installing an operating system, and you can set that up to update automatically if you want.

Then you are installing the application's docker image. Once installed, you will only ever be access the application through it's designed interface. Most likely, a web interface.

Gotcha. Wasn't thinking of this as an appliance since it is managing an appliance.
