@jaredbusch Thanks for the steps. Do you know if you are able to dynamically expand the block storage?

Use LVM with it, doesn't matter weather it's dynamically enabled by Vultr or not, it just is.

I actually didn't know LVM would dynamically allocate it in this situation. Interesting.

Just stop and think about it for a minute and I think you'd get it.

Need to add space, plug in a block device and expand the LV. Need to remove a block device, that's just fine as well (just be sure the VG has enough space to hold all the data after that block device is removed.)

learning question here - when you remove a block device from a VG, does LVM move the data as part of the process of removing the block device?

Yes, so long as there is enough storage space left in the VG, it will move it off the device being removed. Disclaimer: I haven't actually tested this in years.

I'm trying this now on Fedora 26 Minimal and Nextcloud 12.0.4. Everthing goes smoothly until I get to install the SSL cert. This is the first message I see regarding certbot during installation.

   Installing       : certbot-0.19.0-1.fc26.noarch           73/73
   Running scriptlet: certbot-0.19.0-1.fc26.noarch           73/73

restorecon: lstat(/etc/letsencrypt) failed: No such file or directory
Running as unit: run-r45b016845f8b4d91ba5cd0819576f126.service

I didn't initially notice this so I moved on.

[root@nextcloud nextcloud]# certbot --apache certonly --email [email protected] --domain cloud.domain.com --agree-tos --non-interactive
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed
The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed

So then I'm thinking the apache plugin didn't install. Ran dnf install python-certbot-apache again and it came back as installed. This is when I noticed the first message during the initial installation attempt.

I then checked the logs below

 [root@nextcloud nextcloud]# cat /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

When I ran through this procedure for CentOS7 few days back I had no issues. Has the apache plugin required changed? What am I missing?

EDIT: I also ensured certbot installed successfully with dnf install certbot and it came back as installed.

@zachary715 FYI... Fedora 27 is the current version.

Yes I understand. Fedora 26 I already had on hand and this would give me a chance to get Nextcloud up and running and then do the upgrade to Fedora 27 to see that process as we discussed the other day.

You have to use the python3 module for this.

python3-certbot-apache

JaredBusch

I never use the --apache flag because I do not want certbot touching my config files for me. But I also understand what I am doing with certs and do not liek to rely on the magic.

@jaredbusch out of curiousity how did you go about learning everything you know in linux? A mix of books/documentation/homelab? Any recommendations book-wise if that's something you've done?

JaredBusch

Upgrading my system from 11 to 12.

Had to setenforce 0 in order for the updater to work as most files do not have httpd_rw context.

WTF, I jsut know everything. FFS, get with the program.

Seriously, I do not book learn well. I learn by tinkering. So I learned by breaking shit. Repeatedly.

It costs a large amount of time to learn things this way. But it is what I do. Book learning generally is no different for most. It all takes time.
