This is the kind of thing I did in the last 12 months on purpose, in all the places where I knew my "boss" (partner with more stock) would read it.

Then I would be like "Hey you see that guy online who just shit crapped all over our company".

As a non Chrome fan I'm looking forward to it.. sadly Side Tree Tabs won't be ported over.. I hate top tabs.

Users going to start complaining about addons not working even though the developers had so much time to make their addon compatible.

No different than people bitchin' about Windows 7 EOL in 2 years 2 months.

ROFL. Not a problem. Things working as designed. Next!

For what it's worth, my post was intended to be framed from the standpoint of "what am I doing wrong??" rather than "what's wrong with the system?!". I figured I was missing something stupid.

Never hurts to have extra eyes. I didn't even think about the potential for this to be a scheduled job... God, I have a case of the Mondays.

Not your fault at all. I did not mention it in my OP. Whoops. Perhaps I'm the one with a case of the Mondays.

All the time. I only know this from having to log in every time the firewall gets behind and blocks the remote phones using responsive firewall.

I do think FreePBX is great, don't get me wrong. These are some the reasons I still prefer a freeswitch based deployment and enforcing domains as part of authentication. Almost all attempts to brute force authenticate are dropped simply because they don't know the domain (realm) being used and they quickly give up.

There is a lot more that I like over FreePBX in my current setup but that has more to do with trying to be a service provider.

For a single installation my only gripe is the way the firewall works, how do people use Bria and roam around. That being said they could close that gap at any moment and my only complaint would be the delicacy of updating systems or uploading the wrong format of an audio file. Which apparently only bigbear has ever had problems with. Lol.

Why EXT4?

Is there something wrong using ext4 instead of xfs besides Red Hat/CentOS using it by default?

As with everything, reverse the question - is there something right about it? XFS is faster and more stable. What does EXT4 have going for it? EXT4 is not a bad filesystem, but "not bad" isn't a reason to choose a filesystem. Which one is best for your environment? I don't know any server environments where EXT4 is good enough to be considered - because it would have to be meaningfully better than XFS in some area for that to be useful.

Looks like I just need to read up on ext4 vs xfs.

Or just move on to XFS. It's a super rare case that you want anything else. Basically, always choose XFS unless you have a very clear reason to do something else. You'd have an edge case with your storage to want to even look at alternatives, and when you do BtrFS and ZFS are definitely more likely to be the case over EXT4, and JFS2, GFS2, OCFS, and others will compete heavily with EXT4.

Sure, but without reading up on all of those, he'll never know when to use something other than XFS, which is all I think he was getting at.

The point being, it’s a ridiculously special case. Approaching never.

Isn't that what they say in Texas...the more bigger, the more better...(sarcasm emoji)

I too use the Outlook app - it's very usable. I definitely like it better than the all the separate apps with icons all over the place!

Maybe this will be the Gnome release that convinces me to enjoy Gnome. 😛

It depends if you were ever interested in Gnome at all.

My main beef with Gnome is that without an extra tool package, files and directories that you place in the /home/whateverUser/Desktop directory don't actually appear on the desktop. It's been a while since I've given Gnome a chance (notwithstanding a recent thread), so maybe my gripe is no longer valid.

I believe Gnome Tweak has a option to enable Desktop. But it was never an issue for me because I dislike anything on there except for wallpaper.

I know with Elementary OS, they removed Desktop folder.

Yeah, my gripe isn't a functional one. It's more of an aesthetic gripe: "why have that folder if it doesn't make stuff appear on the GUI's desktop?"

Because in Fedora for example allows you to log in using Gnome classic.

Yes, they are good phones. I have three of them I'd like to sell if anyone is interested.

Just realized today when routing a ticket that our VOIP is pbx based? No idea what any of this means, but excited to learn

Essentially all business VoIP uses a PBX. There can be exceptions, but it’s mostly theoretical.

No big surprise here, give me Mate or KDE any day of the week!

I get weird crap going wrong all the time between different hardware with those, even sometimes on my Fedora laptop. So don't play the whole Linux GUI never has issues card because I've never experienced so much crap going wrong on anything as much as Linux desktop GUIs.

The difference I find is that every Windows deployment I see has issues, and I only see issues on Linux because I deal with so many that eventually things come up. Everything has issues, but nothing has issues like Windows. You can't compare Fedora or Mac OS problems and inconsistencies with Windows, it's a world of difference. You can't even compared Windows 10 with Windows 7 or older. MS has moved into a whole new world of problems with their desktops.

Linux Desktops is even more stable if you only use Window Managers.

And even more if you are happy with just text!

Not necessarily an add-on from shmooze but FOP2 is phenomenal.

This is a great tool, really cheap and you can use it on Freeswitch as well. Also easy to change the GUI to a more modern interface.

Good point, is there a reason that you don't just grow the storage?

Not possible with Vultr instance, right? Have to expand while virtual machine?

With Vultr, you can add block storage on a per GB bases as needed. So yes, you can do it with Vultr without expanding the VM itself.

Yeah I guess he is probably in NJ data center. I've only used block storage in winblows server. Not sure how you'd move that location in FreePBX.

LVM

Yep, I did this exact thing on a server with Vultr block storage. It is super easy. Purchase it, attach it to the server, create a mount point and mount the new storage device (shows up as another drive), then done.

In FreePBX Advanced settings, you can even specify an alternative destination for voicemails.

@popester said in SQL server SSH proxy:

@scottalanmiller I am hoping to apply what I have been learning about containers to solve requests like these so they can self serve, and I can be satisfied that it is done securely. In the training I was in yesterday about Ansible there was a lot of talk about what I think of as "traditional" IT department needing to be more agile lest the DEV part of DevOps start forming a shadow IT department. It's a long road and I am looking forward to it.

Thank you MangoLassi community.

Containers really don't add much to this. Traditional VMs do this perfectly well. Nothing wrong with containers, but they are far more limited overall since they need a matching OS underneath them. Find if you are 100% Linux, but the moment you need Windows, it doesn't do much good. Traditional virtualization is the better path in the SMB.
