Hey all,

I'm looking to build a small half rack server set in my house and was wondering if there were any tools that let me build out a solution? I'm worried I'm going to forget something and just wanted it all listed out as I think of things.

Yeah I can probably build it out and keep track of it in Obsidian or Excel or something, I was just curious if there were server builder tools like there are PC builder tools?

I mainly want to make sure I get a rack big enough for the few pieces I want to put in it as well as I want to try to calculate the power draw and BTU output which I imagine will be pretty minimal. I just would like hard numbers to know for sure.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm deploying an Amazon EC2 instance of RHEL and attempting to install MongoDB via yum.

Following the guide provided by MongoDB, if I place only the repo file for either mongodb 7 or 8, the install fails. If I place both repo files, it still fails.

If only 7's repo file is present, it fails with 7's GPG key.

If only 8's repo file is present, it fails with libssl and libcrypto errors:

Excerpt:

[...]
 - cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit) needed by mongodb-org-server-8.0.0-1.el8.x86_64 from mongodb-org-8.0
  - nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1(OPENSSL_1_1_0)(64bit) needed by mongodb-org-server-8.0.0-1.el8.x86_64 from mongodb-org-8.0
[...]

If both 7 and 8's repo file is present, it fails on 7's GPG key again.

I've tried manually importing both 7 and 8's GPG keys with:

rpm --import "https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-8.0.asc"

and

rpm --import "https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc"

The 8 import seems to work but the 7 import fails.

The thing is, last week, I successfully installed MongoDB on RHEL 9 using these exact same steps. I'm just doing it again now to capture documentation for work and it's failing.

So my questions are: What the hell?

Seriously though, what can I do to fix this? Is this a problem with MongoDB? Do they need to update their keys?

Thanks
