Here is an initial draft of the article: https://gitlab.com/carlosrodfern/articles/-/blob/main/fed-mag-nvr/Readme.md?ref_type=heads

I'll be iterating over it a little bit more and reaching out the viseron maintainer to make sure everything I say there is very accurate.

@glb, the article is ready for review.

@carlosrodrifernandez All the articles for the Fedora Magazine are managed and published using WordPress (WP) as described in Writing Articles. The Fedora Magazine WP instance can be accessed using your FAS login.

Once you have logged into the WP instance select the + symbol in the upper menu bar to start adding you article.

Let us know, when you have your article in WP (preferably by adding a preview link from WP to a comment on this ticket) and we will start the review.

If you have any questions please let us know via this ticket.

Thank you.

@rlengland : I put the post in WP:
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=40832&preview=true

However, the codes are not rendering well on the preview page. The inline blocks are being rendered as new paragraphs, and the code blocks have a box around with very wide irregular margins. I'm not sure how to fix it.

So, for the inline code, I see other posts simply using bold text or italic text. For the block code, other posts are rendering fine. I'll try to clean that up.

@carlosrodrifernandez For blocks of code we recommend using "preformatted"

@carlosrodrifernandez If you have difficulty, we can take a look and perhaps correct/amend things. You will have to drop out of editing for us to do so. Let us know if you want us to investigate.

Yup, I found other posts using "preformatted". So I changed them all to that one. However, I lost the scrolling. I ended up removing extra spaces, and replacing some not relevant command output texts with (cut for brevity) or "...".

I think it is fully ready now for review. Thank you @rlengland

@carlosrodrifernandez I've added a featured image to the article. Let us know if it meets with your approval. If not, we can try again. Any suggestions are welcome if you have some.

Text review is yet to come.

@rlengland: the image looks good to me :thumbsup:

It looks like I accidentally untagged and reset the assignee in this issue. Not sure how that happened. Putting it back...

@glb , one thing that can be helpful for users to troubleshoot in their case, is to look at the Viseron logs. If it is possible, I'll like to add a new paragraph to the article right after the paragraph with the console output that start like "If everything went well, our install should look like this:" That would also right before the "If we ssh into our server, ..."

The new paragraph:

The Viseron logs will also inform us if the hardware acceleration platforms were detected. In our case, Viseron detected that VAAPI and OpenCL were available for use:

$ kubectl -n nvr logs viseron-5745654d57-9kcbz | head -30
(cut for brevity)
************** Setting EdgeTPU permissions ***************
Coral Vendor IDs:
"1a6e"
"18d1"
No EdgeTPU USB device was found
No EdgeTPU PCI device was found
************************** Done **************************

****** Checking for hardware acceleration platforms ******
OpenCL is available!
VA-API is available!
CUDA cannot be used
(cut for brevity)

If we had not mounted /dev/dri on the container, the logs would have said VA-API cannot be used.

Thank you!

@carlosrodrifernandez, go for it. I haven't begun the review and editing process yet anyway.

The article is updated with the new paragraph. Thank you!

I have too many chores yet to do today. I'll try to get this ready for publication on Wednesday. If you think of any more fine-tuning that you want to do between now and then, then by all means, go for it. 🙂

I've done the review and editing. It looks good to me. I've scheduled this to run on Wednesday. Let us know with a comment here if you would like anything revised.

Thanks!

Oh, one thing, Richard -- can you remove the "a" from the cover image?

Thanks. 🙂

Can do, which "a"? The first one or the middle one?

A Richard: the second one 🙂

Awesome! Thank you!

@glb Correction has been made.

The article went live but the featured image is not showing up.

It should be fixed now. Unfortunately, the Fedora Start page works off cached data. I'm not sure how long that will take to correct.

I see it now :) . Thank you!

@glb , a reader posted a comment, and I first replied with the form, but then found out I can just do it after logged in with my FAS. So, there is a pending comment from me not linked to my FAS account. Feel free to delete it.
