I think that the purpose of the Issabel is to continue creating the Add On Modules that was supported by Elastix , also it is based on CentOS 7 which will be more reliable than what Elastix 2.5 was.
anyway i think we need to wait till we find Issabel is stable distro and we can depend on it as we did with Elastix.

I assume that they are working form the nearly released Elastix 4 work. That was on CentOS 7 at the end.

And it did work with a lot of patience and knowledge of the underlying systems. But it was a hard fail for the layman.

True. I had it working, but it wasn't ready for prime time when they gave up on it all.

@sully93 I have a video from MangoCon 2016 where instead of talking about "what isn't IT" I talk about what it is. I have a recent SAMIT video on separating IT from SE. I'll do one soon on separating IT from Bench.

@wrx7m said in UPS Replacement:

I had 4x TrippLite 3U 3000VA units with their SNMP Webcards for network monitoring and control. The webcards were horrible. I always had issues with them locking up, losing certain settings upon reboot/power-cycle (which required them to be physically removed from the chassis) and had to replace several of them. TrippLite support was just as bad as their products. I loved getting woken up by my PRTG alerts at 3 in the morning when it couldn't communicate with those stupid cards.

At the 5-year mark, I finally ditched them in favor of some Eaton 5PX3000RT2U units with the NMS network card. I had already been using 2 of those for over a year without issue for my edge switch rack and am using and am mostly pleased. So I now have 6. I also have some 3rd gen PDUs and EATS 120s. The only thing I don't like about the ATS is that they don't have the ability to control the individual outlets, hence the additional need for a PDU.

I really like the Eaton 5PX line myself. Never upgraded the one we had with the network card tho.

@JaredBusch : I just wanted to say THANKS for posting all of that FreePBX how-to info. With it I was able to procure a DID, setup an IVR, configure routes, etc. I even managed to configure an inbound route set to go to a DISA (pin protected) for the cell phones!

Your notes were very detailed and a ton of help.

Again, thanks for posting that!

@scottalanmiller
You are entirely correct. The people like that it seems will not even consider anything else and would rather pay big license fees than learn other systems.

@penguinwrangler Thanks for experience. What about bad and unqualitive content? There are still a lot of such videos and kids, even teens can watch something horrible for the psyche. Do you use any filters to avoid it?

Probably RDS lol. Linux really needs feature parity with RDSH.

Linux is getting there.. https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp

I use this over ZT to connect to my Linux Desktop at home. It supports multiple users, and all too. It does work better with Mate or Desktops that don't do compositing (like Cinnamon).

Oh nice, what RDP version is that supporting currently?

I'm not real sure. I know it can do some RemoteFX stuff, so at least v7, right?

Im pretty sure for connecting to windows hosts XRDP leveraged FreeRDP (which is the stalled project) and is limited to something in the RDP 5.x range.

XRDP goes the other way... Any RDP app connecting to a Linux box.

@travisdh1 As checked proxy settings not present.But other VPN (Turbo VPN) is working fine in all Browser in my phone.

How is it working?

Tor vs Turbo VPN!

Yes

Libvirt is the one that provides the Backing Store, see below:

I will do a build later tonight once I am off work. I will do a build with an AMD FX-8300 CPU. That is 8 Cores. I love those processors. Cheap and good performance.

@wls-itguy said in MySQL/Wordpress issue:

@scottalanmiller Yours?

Yes, I PMd you a few minutes ago 🙂

@scottalanmiller said in Odoo vs ERPNext and Which linux more suitable (Ubuntu/CentOS) ?:

Fedora is better for active IT departments that maintain their systems. CentOS is better for companies that deploy and never maintain their systems and just hope for the best 😉

I just wonder your statement here on CentOS, while I have seen you always praise CentOS than Ubuntu. Is that praise just about CentOS vs Ubuntu ?

So your whole interest on Fedora is because it have Latest things and faster development ?

Typically you would use a spectrum analyzer to look at the frequency range in question. Problem is most of them are expensive. We use a product from Ekahau when doing site surveys to determine wifi in use and interference from things like microwave ovens:
https://www.ekahau.com/products/spectrum-analyzer/overview/
I believe we paid over $6000 for it though.
There was a cheap one out there that worked well I'll see if I can find it.
Other option is a software defined radio that can tune the 2.4GHz band, coupled with a radio program like SDR# (pronounced SDRSharp) that can scan the band in question. You look on the scan as its happening for peaks in the frequency range; those are either your wifi AP's or other devices causing interference. @gjacobse may have some info on one; the one I have doesn't go up that high in frequency.

@jaredbusch Did they reply to your actual question?

Cloudflare will read the current DNS server and build all the records in itself.

That only works for some records.

Most though.

Most of ones like www, ftp and mx records. But anything that you make that is unusual or unique in any way, I've never had found. I just did it the other day for a company and it found like two of twenty, and it was the two you'd be almost certain would be there.

@scottalanmiller
Are you running KVM and LXD on the same machine?

I am, yes.

Wouldn't this be the expectation? in many if not most cases?

If you know my particular case, yes it would be an expectation. In a more common scenario, no, not so much.

Wouldn't you typically have LXD on a hypervisor?

LXD is a Type-C hypervisor, so while having it on top of a Type 1 is common, having it on bare metal is also common.

Then Manage it from your Fedora desktop

I think I'd rather not install an entire desktop to manage VMs. That seems like taking a step in the wrong direction to me.

You don't have to. You can manage from cli only. And if you just want virt-manager just have a VM on the host that you can X11 forward from.

If you have failover/replica/ha you can consider to use a vm to control the hypervisor

You can do it even without that. Single hosts are easy, and for the amount of resources it uses, you can just have one on each host as a fail safe. But as long as a single host is up you can control them all from a single Virt-Manager VM.
