I'm having a hard time following this. So we have one(two) KVM host, fedora instance running virt manger, another fedora running vnc server?

Install Cockpit: dnf install cockpit cockpit-machines
Then do a dnf group install "Virtualization".

Set each VM to use SPICE and VNC. You can get VM console access via Cockpit and the VNC display.

cockpit gets installed on the KVM host?

Yes.

Can I create VMs within cockpit? I do not see an option for that.

No, but you can connect to your KVM host via virt-manager from another Linux PC.

Or do a search for my Kimchi guide:

https://mangolassi.it/topic/14675/fedora-26-kvm-html5-remote-access-with-web-console-via-kimchi

Guide is here:
https://www.timothygruber.com/linux/fedora-26-kvm-html5-remote-access-with-web-console-via-kimchi-part-1/

I have tried connecting virt manger to my KVM host but I get all kinds of errors. Not sure if I am doing it right. Do you have a guide for connecting to a remote KVM host with virt manger for a non-root user? I get lots of accessed denied. I did end up finding your guide after searching cockpit on the forum.

You have to put your user in the virtual manager group. Forget the proper name of the group.

@stacksofplates knows it

@danp

You can install and trial it, you get 50 GB free when I was working there, for like 2 weeks and do whatever you want. No credit card required.

Think about it as very advanced client for Amazon Glacier storage for windows clients, sadly they only have good Windows and Android clients. Plus point for supporting Dedup in backups, if you have windows 10 ISO file that is already uploaded, they will not upload it again.

if you want to backup NAS, they will tell you to mount it on Windows machine and select it to get uploaded.

And their Technical support team is awesome, I was there (5 years ago) what more do you want.

The T42S line has a usb for a Bluetooth dongle though.

@networknerd

yes, will plan to install 6.5U1 and have Vcenter appliance server, not windows vcenter.

@mike-davis me too

i'll test it all tomorrow and come back to you if still a prob. thanks guys.

Might also look to see if there is an update for the firewall.

@dbeato said in Using DFSRMIG to move to from FRS to DFSR for Sysvol:

@texkonc Seize the FSMo Roles (If any) from the old AD DCs and then as @JaredBusch cleanup AD.

Roles were cleanly moved before shutdown. No seizing necessary.

We're using Machforms. Wish I had seen this to compare against.

@garak0410 said in Rewriting VBA Macros from Excel 2013 to Excel 2003 - Works One One Sheet Only.:

I think I am closer...the first worksheet doesn't have column D protected. The rest of the pages do have column D protected. If I unprotect column D on the other sheets, my macros finally work.

However, management wants column D protected.

This worked fine under the recorded macros but not the rewritten ones I had to make to support Excel 2003.

Have the Macro unprotect the column and then protect it again as the last step?

In fact, moving to smartphone apps and no phone might actually be the best solution of all. I guess it would depend upon how much data they use while not in the office.

Not really. They don't work as good as one might hope. It is usually easier for the sales person to jsut call with their mobile. everyone is expected to have one anyway.

Yeah, not that comparing to Altigen is ever valid, but the MaxMobile app is "meh" at best.

Zoiper doesn't work?

Zoiper is just finicky at the best of times, and for whatever reason I've had no luck when on LTE instead of WiFi with it.

I use it regularly on LTE with little problem unless I am driving down 55.

Well, considering Motorola.... I'm going with the whole Lenovo breaking things.

get a real cell phone. 😉

Of course, and asap, but, money 😞

With SSDs and big RAM and crazy amounts of CPU, I bet you could get 20K or more users on a single Zimbra instance. Of course, at those sizes, you get into scary places with having 20K users in a single failure domain. That's why you start looking at other options when you get big. But for pure performance, I bet you could do that no problem.

@hobbit666 said in GDPR galore:

Yeah I've been hearing a lot on this GDPR stuff luckily I'm not involved and others in the dept are lol.

But what logs would they need you to collect and store? We don't do this at the moment but if required would like to start looking at solutions. So I'm prepared for the "can you do this and get it installed" lol

Bah. Here in italy they are stressing a lot the access control. And they want centralized lig inspection to check for logins (not necessarily a valid point from a tech perspective but they ask for)

@storageninja said in Ubiquiti Security Gateway:

Agent based network abstraction is an interesting alternative to traditional VPN.

It's still traditional VPN, though. Other than automating the configuration, it's all stuff you could have done with OpenVPN or whatever decades ago. It's nice that it auto-configures and it is a great product (or was, appears mostly abandoned now) but it's not an alternative or new VPN, it's just a mesh VPN setup.

We're having issues getting to the status and service health pages. Other then that email is flowing.

@francesco-provino said in Digital Ocean NetBox inventory tool, anyone?:

It looks nice on first sight. Any other open source competitor? I mean, oss with HTML5 interface.

If you're just looking for IPAM then there is one called NIPAP. But I've never used it. phpIPAM is another.

I've never used NetBox in production, I just spun up a Vagrant box to look at it. Working in an air gapped environment brings challenges when you have to get stuff from Github.

Looks interesting... I think I'm just going to have him use Chrome. Not that Chrome doesn't come with it's own problems, but at least a good work around for this issue.
