  This is working on several machines now. But @romo reports that it is still hit or miss, it's not a reliable or permanent fix, but it more reliable than other attempts. It remains, as MS has stated, somewhat random.

  @scottalanmiller said in FusionPBX - 2020: @JaredBusch said in FusionPBX - 2020: The developers use Debian. So use that. This is my general rule. unless they use something insane or unnecessarily expensive, I do this above all other things. For packaged systems like a PBX. For other things like web apps. I tend to put them on Fedora (my chosen OS), no matter what the dev team uses. Looking at you Nexcloud.

  So i've been doing some playing and re-installed using the packages but on CentOS8. Once this was up i just created a simple zabbix.conf in the httpd/conf.d folder that pointed :80 traffic to /zabbix url. Then did the same with a ssl.conf pointing it to /zabbix. Once tested and OK, then added a re-direct lines to the zabbix.conf file to go direct to https:// Guess a similar thing should work on Ubuntu.

  You have the answer in the logs you posted. Nginx can't connect to php handler daemon on port 9000, most likely php-fpm.

  @scottalanmiller Yeah i faced the exact same issue, wanted to make alternative whatsapp thing just using apps and now the extra email thing is causing hassle, however that said you can register users manually and that will create passwords, like open registration feature, which is by default is enabled and head to your RC webpage and register. open it in incognito

  @mgbolts said in FreePBX Contact Manager to Yealink Address Book: Another update to the script. https://github.com/mgbolts/fpbx-yealink-xmlcontacts/blob/master/cm_to_yl_ab_L2.php Updates are as follows: a) I have added the ability to customise your own number labels. eg. I did not like cell or internal being the default label from fpbx. I wanted Mobile and Extension. b) I wanted the ability to choose the display order for the set of numbers for each name. The issue was that it was random and I also wanted my chosen number to be the default number displayed against the name. This was particularly where I pulled in to the internal contact list. In this case, I wanted the extension to be the default and not some random number like cell etc. c) It now has the ability to use the number as input (the default) or use the auto generated E164 format from FPBX. This may not be useful for most users, but is helpful where you have users in more than jurisdiction and each country has its own int dialing prefix, eg. AU is 0011 and other countries use different prefixes. It does require you to select the correct country when creating the contact number in fpbx. Further instructions in the code. I have also updated my original script to handle most of this. The sub sort by label order is not yet impelmented.

  @StorageNinja said in Making a Raspberry Pi 4 or Similar SBC Desktop: @scottalanmiller said in Making a Raspberry Pi 4 or Similar SBC Desktop: RP4 with 4GB of RAM The problem with Pi (and frankly a lot of the low end ARM) is these things have incomplete UEFI bios etc. You currently need to really be working on one of the distro's designed for it (Which is likely fine for your use case). ARM and our engineers are working on this though.. Good point. Definitely an issue. Ubuntu, which is what we use, does make for them at least.

  @JasGot said in Best Plex player to use with a non smart tv or as a portable HDMI player?: @NashBrydges I looked at these. The Rokus do not present themselves as a mobile device, so this means I cannot use the Plex SYNC feature. This wouldn't really be that bad if it had internal storage it can play from. Managing everything from Plex would be nice, but I wouldn't mind copying stuff to an SD card or USB stick if I needed to. Do you know if any of the Rokus can play from local storage while offline? No, you're correct. While I haven't tried, they are supposed to be able to play content from a USB connected drive. That being sai, if you're looking at Plex, I'm assuming you have a Plex server installed. I have my Plex server in the datacenter and I can play content from that server from anywhere in the world using my Roku device. No transcoding required from the Plex server since the Roku handles all of that heavy lifting. The only thing required is to make sure your outbound bandwidth would allow full feed of your video files via internet from your Plex server. If you want this to run like this, you'll need to expose port 32400 (or other custom port you designate) to the internet otherwise all playback is handled through the Plex.tv servers and your playback will be throttled to 2Mbps max. I've been able to play a 70Mbps 4k HDR10 video from a remote location at full bandwidth this way.

  Netlify has a UI that you can build into your project. I haven't personally used them but they are a pretty popular static site host. From what I remember, the UI is just a single bit of javascript you add to your project.

I really like it. Jekyll was great too, but now I think I prefer Hugo. This is what I do for my blog. Except it's built with a GitLab runner and it uses GitLab pages to present it.

  @Pete-S said in ASA 5516-X Intermittent Downtime: On the contrary, it tells us a lot about the business needs. Since the business decided to call him in the middle of the night, someone decided the firewall was important enough for them to do that, instead of waiting until the morning. Maybe nobody brought up the HA option when the firewall was put in place or the need wasn't there at the time. That someone was willing to call to report an issue truly tells us nothing. I get called off hours about truly worthless things all the time. Just because one person thinks that they should call and knows how to call doesn't mean that someone has assessed value. But that someone didn't buy HA tells us that at least at some point, someone decided HA wasn't worth it. That might have changed, and maybe they were wrong even at the time, but that decision of HA or no HA was made and a design built around that. The business isn't who necessarily called him, that denotes a key decision maker representing the company. All we really know is that someone working at a site decided to notify him. Fall all we know that was an intern who just happened to find his phone number. Or it was the CEO, we just don't know. That someone decided to call because they noticed something has to be taken with a grain of salt as we don't know who they were, or what they expected. Maybe they thought support was 24x7 and that it was their job to report things by phone whenever they happen. That's not uncommon and wouldn't give us any insight into the business' evaluation of the need.

  @travisdh1 said in Camera to Web Services Connectors: I think Western Digital made a portable HDD with a battery and card readers that would automatically copy anything put in the media card slot to the HDD. Don't know if they're still a thing. They did, but that lacks the upload function. Getting stuff to an HD isn't an issue normally.

  @wrx7m said in Tool for Finding Rogue DHCP: Ran into this about 12 years ago. A guy on the dev team decided to setup his own DHCP server. Screwed up all sorts of stuff. Can't remember for sure what we did, but I think after we realized that it wasn't actually an issue with our known DHCP servers, we decided to talk to the dev team and found out that is what he had done. It amazes me how many people just don't think about it - they have a problem, they think they know how to solve it, and just slap something onto the network.

  @Dashrender said in Does ChromeOS make sense for a desktop?: @scottalanmiller said in Does ChromeOS make sense for a desktop?: @Obsolesce said in Does ChromeOS make sense for a desktop?: I don't use the desktop for shortcuts even on Windows. I don't see why it's needed. It's just a clutter space, it's so much easier to have the shortcuts on the task bar, or start menu... Windows Key + Search works great on Windows and Linux GUI I honestly like using it as a scratch space for temp files. That said... ChromeOS doesn't have temp files in that way, so even my purpose for it goes away. yeah, that's true. Since editing a doc is in a webspace - you don't have the choice to really save the file/data to the desktop as a scratch pad... so you just have to save it into the cloud - it forces better behavior. Right, exactly.

  @stacksofplates said in Any awesome paid linux desktop software out there?: Depends what you want. ANSYS works well, is stupid expensive, and runs on Linux. But not sure how much CFD, acoustic, thermal, and mechanical engineering you're doing. Most of the major CAD and/or CFD applications are available on Linux. Back in the 90s I got to deal with running them on IRIX and OpenVMS. Got into the window when everyone started switching to Windows as well (Pentium III era).
