Setup new OSMF servers with LXD

[robe]

As mentioned here: ​https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2020-November/012798.html ​https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2020-November/012810.html ​https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2020-November/012808.html

OSMF donated their two HP Proliant servers to us. OSUOSL is holding them for us until we are ready to rebuild.

The plan is to put Ubuntu 20.04 on them and LXD. For these we will use them as extra CI bots. I am hoping to also use them to house LXD VMS -- VMS would be useful for testing OS that don't really support containerization or emulating architectures.

I'm thinking things like FreeBSD and ARM architecture. LXD uses QEMU internally for hosting the VMS but you use the LXD interface for managing them just like the lighter weight LXC containers.

Also thinking these would be useful for while we are upgrading OSGeo7 and OSGeo3/4 for moving mission critical things or hosting something like OpenNebula to allow projects to provision their own servers for testing etc.

The specs as I understand it are as follows:

Stormy 01 - seems the biggest of the 2

    Disks: 8 x 300 GB HP EG0300FAWHV
    1.64 TB RAID6 array over 8 disks
    BIOS HP version P64

Stormy 02 - Much less disk space we may want to consider replacing the disks on this one before going too far
