@black3dynamite said in Salt - Can't Connect to Minions After Adding Them to Master:

I sometimes have to add --timeout 60 so I can see a response
salt FP01.domain.local test.ping --timeout 60

Seems to be working. I think that it was the firewall needing the exception AND using the

--timeout 60

Thanks!

@scottalanmiller StarWind performance is really great! It's able to give 2 times better performance on read operations on HA device! Link to the Benchmark Best Practices document: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/best-practices/starwind-virtual-san-starwind-benchmarking-best-practices/

@Obsolesce ReFS is unstable, unfortunately. I saw the case when after power outage ReFS volume become RAW...

@manxam said in Phishing testing / awareness / training suggestions?:

MSPs can only purchase Platinum or Diamond I was told, and at a minimum of 101 seats @ MSRP -20%. So, a minimum spend of $2400 CDN for us and $3000 for the customer for their "recommended" tier (platinum).

Does the old adage apply here? "Gotta pay to play"...?

Well if you are approaching as an MSP, this is to be expected. You are assumed to be reselling the service. This is the only thing they allow to be resold.

You as the MSP buy 101 licenses and resell 10 each to a few clients at MSRP -5%.

If you get external DNS to go to the nginx proxy you could probably allow all traffic to the URL path that lets encrypt needs and then create a whitelist for everything else.

And really, all I'm looking for is a convenient way setup my user workstations, and update them without the Apple overhead, including with brew commands.

This is my ML How Tos are better 🙂

I looked but didn't find one that was current.

Yeah, not sure that there is one. On Fedora 28 it was broken. On Fedora 30 I think it is just "dnf install salt-master -y" and you are done. So nothing to write up.

I think we are running Salt on Ubuntu now because of the breakage issues on Fedora.

@Dashrender is correct, you need to use a real VLAN for this.

Because this:

but ICMP, DNS, and DHCP are never isolated between lan and SSID, so pinging is not a valid test.

Is not true on a VLAN.

Have you already check with linphone if it does video conferencing?

In theory it does. Linphone desktop has been pretty flaky for us so were looking at alternatives.

@FATeknollogee said in Vultr backups:

This isn't exactly related to OP's post...
It would be nice if there was a "clean & easy" way to "migrate" your vm's from Vultr to say a co-lo.

If you use a DevOps system, then there always is. If you use normal backups like Veeam, it's easy, too. Same with any platform, platforms don't make lock in, that comes from how it is set up. It's as easy to go from Vultr to colo as from anything else to colo.

I have not heard of them which doesn't mean much 🙂

@FATeknollogee said in oVirt Host Choices for Production:

@EddieJennings I would start by using oVirt Node (it's based on CentOS), it's the simplest, least hassled way of setting up.

Yeah, they have their own Node deployer, I'd generally just use that.

@Curtis said in Bria Mobile iOS and FreePBX:

I tried a few hours with Bira this morning...

Just a couple minutes ago I downloaded Acrobits Groundwire by Acrobits, and it instantly worked...

That listing clearly states it uses push. So how does that work?

@BraswellJay said in FreePBX assign commercial module to installation?:

@JaredBusch

I think I figured this out. The thing I needed to do was to stop and then start FreePBX.

I did :

fwconsole stop fwconsole start

When it started back I saw the following as part of the output :

Updating License Information for xxxxxxxx

where the x's were my deployment ID

I'm thinking this must be where it went out and queried and saw I had purchased those two modules.

Both SysAdmin Pro and the Endpoint Manager screens now look like your samples.

Thanks for the help.

One question. When you have purchased these through the GUI instead of the portal as I did do you normally have to restart or does it just figure that out and is immediately available?

It is all handled in a reboot.

I buy these during initial turn up time and as part of that, I will always perform a final reboot before begining the actual configuration. Because one of the turn up steps requires setting the timezone, and that is not applied fully until a reboot.

Honestly, I simply assumed that you had already turned it on and off again.

You could have used

fwconsole restart

or clicked the update activation in the web GUI also.

I've done both. I tend to like MariaDB / MySQL better because that is what I'm more comfy with.

Not surprised they finally caved to this. It was needed, but I am sure it will be a huge support hit in the short term.

@wrx7m said in NGINX vs Apache:

Does Apache have a paid version? I know that nginx reverse proxy is free, but the web server (at least used to be) a paid product.

Apache is totally free. Nginx is free for all normal purposes, it is advanced features that I've never even thought of wanting that are paid.

Ahh. Ok. I misconstrued those features as being the entire product.
