Comment on Is it possible to run a docker host that has no harddrive?
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’m actually not 100% what killed the drive. It could have been an issue with the drive wearing out, but my services didn’t write much locally and it wasn’t super old so I assume its a heat issue with a fanless micro system. I try to write everything important to my NASs so I don’t have to worry about random hardware failures, but this one didn’t have backups configured before it failed. Other than the drive issue its been solid for 1.5-2 years of near constant uptime.

Is the drive totally dead? Curious what SMART would report.
My gut feeling is that it’s probably cheaper to buy a replacement m.2 than the hours of time to get netboot working but it could be a fun project!

I might be able to hook it up to a usb NVMe reader, but when I initially tried I barely got any recognition of the drive from the OS. My primary system is windows, so I might get more info from one of my linux systems, just haven’t had the fucks to give to the dead drive. As for a replacement drive, funds are scarce and time/learning is (comparatively) free. Someone else suggested kubernetes, so I might look into that to see if that can accomplish what I’m looking for.
