[magazine] Draft for Backing up series, part 1: duplicity
by Link Dupont 08 Jul '17

08 Jul '17

Hi everyone, I've got a first draft up for part 1 of the Backing up series. Please read, follow and give me feedback. There are definitely areas that can be improved. Also, I don't want to publish until all three articles are done. I need to make sure that parts two and three (duply and deja-dup, respectively) will work seamlessly with the backup created in part one. This may mean significant edits to this part one. Please provide feedback! https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17880&preview=true&preview_id=17880 ~link

I inadvertently "Accepted" some held spam messages instead of "Discarding" them in the list moderation queue. They've been removed from the archives (thank you Patrick!), but list subscribers probably received copies in their inboxes before that could be stopped. My humble apologies, just an exhausted wrong-button error. :-) -- Paul W.

[magazine] Short Steam article
by Stuart Brady 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hello everyone, At this week's meeting, Paul and Ryan asked me to work on a short article about the gaming platform Steam as you can now install it as a Flatpak <http://flatpak.org> app using Flathub <http://flathub.org>. Unfortunately, I've hit a couple of problems. BTW I understand this isn't Stack Overflow and my rookie mistakes might be a little frustrating! Anyway, after I'd set up Flatpak/Flathub, I installed Steam using Gnome Software (which appears to be recommended). However, I couldn't run Steam after installation because I was missing some drivers (see screenshot). When I couldn't find the drivers on the internet, I uninstalled Steam and used these instructions <https://linuxconfig.org/installing-steam-on-fedora-25-linux> to install Steam the normal way to check if it worked. That was fine and, ironically, told me how to fix my driver problem at the same time. The problem I have now is that I can't install Steam at all using Gnome Software. The install button disappears after I click it, only to reappear a few moments later, and the download % bar doesn't appear at all. It works fine when I install Steam with Flathub at the command line, though. What I need is someone to check that they can install and run Steam using Flathub and Gnome Software. I then could write the article once I know it works, but, to be fair, I'd feel a bit of douche writing something knowing I couldn't get it to work properly myself! Apologies for the hassles, Stu Brady

[magazine] [new series] Kubernetes and Fedora
by Justin W. Flory 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Hey all, I've been doing some work with Kubernetes lately, and thought it would be a cool idea to run a series related to Kubernetes and Fedora targeted towards beginners on the Magazine. The series starts by introducing key concepts of Kubernetes and works its way towards hands-on activities. I was hoping to make this a 3-4 part series. I have the first two articles drafted and finished, although I'm still waiting for technical feedback / review on the second. They're a little lengthy, so I wouldn't mind having another couple of folks review for style / simplicity too. === Article 1: Introduction to Kubernetes with Fedora === This first post is an introduction to what Kubernetes is and what some of the key concepts are. https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17814&preview=1&_ppp=f2a9273120 From a technical standpoint, this one should be set, but if there's anyone on the list that could technical review, I definitely wouldn't mind another set of eyes. :) === Article 2: Clustered computing on Fedora with Minikube === This second post shows you how to build a single-node Kubernetes deployment on your own computer. https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17823&preview=1&_ppp=414b450e7b Still waiting for a technical review on this one, but should be mostly good. I was able to follow these steps on my F25 install. = = = I haven't decided on ideas for a third or fourth article yet, but if we space these out over two weeks, I'm fairly certain I'll have an idea by then. Any feedback or comments are welcome! Thanks. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[magazine] New author introduction
by Stuart Brady 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Hello Editorial Board, I'd like to start writing some articles for the magazine so here is my introduction. My name is Stuart Brady and I'm an English language arts and social studies teacher, currently working in the international sector in Tokyo, Japan. I'm not a super technical user of Fedora but for the last 18 months computing has become one of my main hobbies (I'm also a pretty obsessive runner). In that time, I've taught myself a little programming and built my own "janky" personal website and blog <https://stubrady78.github.io/>. I've also been running Fedora Linux on my personal/work laptop since last May and have become a real convert to the whole open source ethos. I've tried to educate myself about the system by reading your magazine, surfing the net when I have technical questions and working through How Linux Works <https://www.nostarch.com/howlinuxworks2> (recommended on the Linux Journey <https://linuxjourney.com/> website). Oh, and I also attended the Open Source Summit <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-japan/program/s…> in Tokyo last week to give me a better understanding of the industry more generally. At this stage of my Linux development, I feel I can write some reasonable articles for users a bit like me so I'd like to make myself available. When I initially mailed Paul last week, he mentioned that I might get some help with things to write about (at least in the beginning). This would be perfect! Then I can get on with researching the topic, before producing the copy for editing. And, obviously, I'm more than happy to help editing the contributions of others as often as needed. As far as time commitments go, I'm willing to put a fair bit of effort (not sure about number of hours per week) into the research/writing/editing the articles as it will be a good learning experience. One caveat, however, is that I won't be able to regularly attend the online board meetings. There's a wicked time difference between Tokyo and the US and it would be miserable adding a predawn meeting to my current family/work schedule. Is that okay? Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and have a nice day. Regards, Stuart Brady

Hi everyone! I had a thought for an article series, so I wrote up a pitch (it's in the Pitches category in WP too). Here's the text, in case the preview links don't work. -- Summary: A 3-part series on backing up with duplicity, duply, and deja-dup Description: I recently lost a large amount of data to a RAID enclosure mistakenly configured as RAID0, and not backed up. That got me thinking about an article series about backing up. Article 1: duplicity - duplicity is the basic tool that the following two are built on, so I want to start at the basics. duplicity is built with rsync, and has connectors to back up to local disks as well as S3 buckets. I'll target an S3 bucket as my backup demo work, since off-site and redundancy are two tenants of good backups. So starting with duplicity, we'll walk through how to successfully back up ~/Documents (and something big like ~/Photos) with just duplicity. Article 2: duply - duply builds on duplicity, mainly by creating backup profiles that save all the commandline settings necessary to invoke duplicity. This article would re-factor the work done in Article 1 to use duply profiles instead. This article would also use duply to back up a server, since the profiles can easily be run from within cron jobs. Article 3: deja-dup - deja-dup is a GNOME utility that, like duply, stores profiles around duplicity. It makes creating backup profiles super easy, and runs them on a regular frequency. This article would refactor the work done in Article 1, using some guides from Article 2, to backup ~/Documents and ~/Photos with deja-dup. If possible, I would like to show how deja-dup will pick up the backups created from within Article 1 using just duplicity; I'll need to mostly write both articles to make sure that's the case.

I was adding the featured image and forgot to close the tab before bed. On the plus side, we have a featured image. :) -- Drat you Ryan! That's how I lost my images in it ;) They are still in the WordPress gallery jobby. There's the new blivet UI and Fedora Media Writer we'll probably want to add. At the hospital with my daughter this morning for a procedure so I won't be about till later. Can someone please add them back in? James
