Finally upgrading my Plex server from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04! I've been putting it off out of habit, as I always wait for the *.1 releases but I've done several of these for clients and every single one went flawlessly. But I still waited it out.
Also thinking about switching my Ext4 mirrored softRAID to ZFS... Since Ubuntu has the only acceptable ZFS implementation outside of UNIX proper (Ubuntu's is in-kernel, everyone else uses kernel modules, which i hate). But that's going to be extra work I may not be in the mood for. But damn would compression and deduplication be nice! So still maybe
Wait, you mean you host plex servers for clients? Or that you work with Ubuntu in general? And for the ZFS thing, it doesn't really matter if it's in-kernel or something else, at the end of the day, they all work the same. I'm using zfs on my arch machine for example, and everything works just fine (dkms). And zfs is super easy in general, you should definetly try it
That is one thing I still need to do, upgrade my Ubuntu server from 22.04 to 24.04. laat time I tried this I noticed many python packages were missing or failing. Reverted to the backup. Maybe now is the time to do the switch and iron out the crinks that may be left after.
