Can you explain the networking a little more please? I am trying to set this up in a dev environment in vm's on seperate servers, but I can't figure out how to configure a separate network that ovn can use. I currently have a means of linking lxdbr0 to my lan network via a bridge br0, so I can easily get lan IP's or lxdbr0 ip's by launching containers with different profiles, and I know how to create e.g. a seconf lxdrbr1 and attach it to a container, but you lost me at your description of vlans and such. I tried searching the lxd discussion blog and I am none the wiser. Can you point us to more specific instructions on how to create the ovn network as you summarize from 3:52 onwards in the video please?
Hi, I'm trying to make a home lab, due to the new update MicroCloud got my attention, the problem is: I do have a six-core 12TB (16TB Raid 5) as storage and a 2x 10-core to use as compute, but I don't have the third machine that I don't even get why would I need it. Is it possible for me to use microcloud or would I need to get a third machine for this? Would it work if I install Ceph and Ovn in the 6-core while I keep LXD on the physical 2x10-core machine?
I bought 3 brand new mini-PCs with an i7, 64GB ram, 2TB NVME and 512GB SATA. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 and then installed via the snap and init commands... the installation completed but never finished. I tried both the 24.04 minimized and full server. One error was a qemu error. and another was some sort of network error.
microcluster is an implementation detail, it's a shared code base we used to create microceph, microovn and microcloud. It's also being used by other teams to create similar services.
the MicroCloud allows for device failure. However, the nics of each device would be connected to the same switch. If the switch fails - the MicroCloud will fail as well. It would be great if there is a bit more explanation of how to connect the nics to the switch
bonded link and mlag take care of that in most environments where HA is a requirement, routing in such environments can then use VRRP or proprietary equivalent

Since there are two networks those computers are on, does the ovn network need a gateway or can the one from the other network be used?
what is the difference between microcluster and microcloud?
microcluster is an implementation detail, it's a shared code base we used to create microceph, microovn and microcloud. It's also being used by other teams to create similar services.
I'm wondering how the new LXD Web GUI works with this? I assume this till works with lxd --edge?
Currently the LXD UI doesn't support clustering, this is being worked on now specifically in order to get MicroCloud working with it.
Is local storage always set up just as zfs or can it be set up with btrfs?
is btrfs production ready?
@@aceqbaceq777 It is, although there are some raid features which are still missing.
On the previous OVN video, instead of a separate network, a bridge was used. Is it also possible with microovn and microcloud?
Yeah, a bridge can be used to. I haven't personally tested it, but if the UI doesn't allow it, we'll fix it as it certainly should be allowed.
the MicroCloud allows for device failure. However, the nics of each device would be connected to the same switch. If the switch fails - the MicroCloud will fail as well. It would be great if there is a bit more explanation of how to connect the nics to the switch
