  • In the specific case of building LFS inside a KVM guest with x86_64 architecture, https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig gives a reasonable starting configuration that can be easily modified to a working configuration by following the instructions in the LFS book. If, on the other hand, you generated a default configuration with make defconfig, it doesn't enable the VirtIO drivers required for KVM guests by default, and it is difficult to find and enable them through the menu selection if you do not know where you should be looking.

  • kubernetes-the-hard-way

    Bootstrap Kubernetes the hard way. No scripts.

  • The LFS system I built is currently very minimal and missing many commonly used utilities such as sudo or an OpenSSH server. I'll probably set those up shortly, then take a break and attempt Kubernetes the Hard Way before possibly resuming building the system with BLFS (or re-attempt LFS on bare metal, using a ~15 year old computer with only 1G of RAM). Stay tuned ;-)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
