Just a switch, not a server, but it was 12-15 meters above the ground on a steel construction for a 50t indoor crane. Lots of oil and dust, no railing and a dozen pigeons right above me.

Freaking experience. Did I mention that I'm a bit acrophobic? At least at 10 meters and above 😉

@scottalanmiller said in How Many Ads?!:

It also appears to count ads that are commented out in code. So it is blocking things that are not there, as well.

Late to the party, but it was I and someone else at MangoCon that dug into it and found that counts all unused/unshown ads

The read usage on this system is insane for what it is normally doing.

Even a tiny SW install we recommend some hefty resources and dedicated SSDs. You definitely just figured out the problem. Had you led with this we could have told you instantly what the issue was.

Our rather beefy SW install runs on rust just fine. Not even a half decent rust array. Old junk.

I'm surprised. Even when ours was tiny we gave it 100,000 IOPS and it remained slow.

¯\(ツ)/¯

There's only 3 of us in IT here. I suspect more concurrent users would kill it.

We had probably ten or fifteen and loads of tickets. But that isn't that much of a jump, I wouldn't think.

NUT should work with any model UPS, not just APC like apcupsd.

@JaredBusch said apcupsd works with other UPSes as well.

That was my first question. 🙂

Huh, I'll have to give it another look then.

It is designed for APC, but you can use almost any UPS via USB if you set it to generic.

@JaredBusch

Excellent. So then the only entries needed would be any device that has a static IP address.

Yes.

EdgeOS is getting better all the time.

Yes.

Ok had a new client start with us this morning. And of course my PBX guy has no internet. So I have PolyCom5050's that the message waiting indicator light aren't lighting up on.
Yes PBX side things are fine (Elastix)
Yes the basic settings phone side are fine.

I am pretty sure I have to go into the firmware and change things..... UMMM NO STINKING IDEA HOW TO DO THAT!!!

#NOTAPBXENGINEER #IHAVENTWORKEDONAPBXINYEARS #HELPBEFOREIKILLSOMEONE

Haven't touched a polycom in a while, but how much you want to pay me? 😉

If my PBX guy doesn't get internet by lunch time I might pay you to deal with it cause of course my team of normally 7 is now 2.

/me shuts his damned mouth....

giggling I learned how that works when I said something like "Yeah, I could do that" before MangoCon 😉

You are looking at the wrong number. Your fault is a 0xC00005. Corrupted system file.

Run setup and it should fix it. And quit loading warez.

@olivier Don't worry as I think it's a NAS issue with Linux as I can't mount the share on any Linux system (well I've tried 2 Ubuntu machines and 3 CentOS machines), they all fail so will leave it at NFS share for now, as it's not easy mounted by non windows people.

Yeah, but we can't access that. It's $20 for us. That's just the price, can't get around it.

If you're really planning on dropping all the way to the $4/u/m exchange only plan, then you can probably move to the $5/month plan (you have less than 250 users, right? and get what I have today.

MSP, doesn't work that way. We need our E3 plans. Seriously, we don't have any option for the $5 stuff.

then you're paying $20 already - so what difference does it make?

That we can't get the $5 plan. So we can't have OneNote and SharePoint without paying the $16 premium per user. We are going in circles. I'm back to explaining the original price post.

Also, FFS, quit cluttering up the wrong damned thread.

I would say everyone should raise a glass to Microsoft for this move.

They've been doing such a good job the last year or two. Very impressive.

@travisdh1 Oh, download also, we are on a 4Mbit/s symmetric HDSL link 😕 .

I'd give my left leg for a 4mbit symmetric. Our two locations have 10mbit/1mbit and 768k/356k respectively.

Wow, so I think anything cloud-based is ruled out for you… HDSL is not cheap, we are planning for a dedicated 10/10 FTTH link, abou the same price.

Ruled out by available internet connection and owners, yep.

well I can talk to a service provider who has migrated, a few have - but we simply haven't done any huge migrations yet. Most of that is because big installations usually move slow - nobody wants to be first. Not that upgrading is a big deal, it is the same as an upgrade of course. In a way, once ownCloud does a new release customers should be more worried about that than about upgrading to Nextcloud... But yeah, how to explain that 😉

We will see what Nextcloud 11 brings, people might find compelling reasons to upgrade at that point.

@coliver said in Open Firewall Ports on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7:

Did anyone ever figure out if there was a way to setup files for firewalld? Or was the XML service files the way to go?

XML I think.

That's what I was afraid of. We're using IPTables on all of our OEL7 servers right now but I think moving to the default firewalld may be a good idea. I'll have to look into the XML config and see how much more difficult, if at all, it is over the IPTables file. It's a shame we can't just copy a single file around anymore but the XML files probably won't be too much more difficult.

Ya it's not bad at all. Here's the config from my Identity Management server. It's pretty similar to /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall on RHEL 6, just in zone specific XML files.

<zone> <short>Public</short> <description>For use in public areas. You do not trust the other computers on networks to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.</description> <service name="http"/> <service name="https"/> <service name="ntp"/> <service name="dhcpv6-client"/> <service name="kerberos"/> <service name="ldaps"/> <service name="ssh"/> <service name="dns"/> <service name="ldap"/> </zone>

Those services are predefined right? You can also build your own services via the same process.

Ya and you can define specific ports. I prob could have grabbed a better example.

No, I think I've got it just need to investigate actually setting these up.

@AlyRagab said in FreeIPA Server & Client:

But now regarding this setup , if the user login on a machine and saved his files on his home directory , when he logs again on other machine he will not get his files , so how can we make all user's files saved on the server and the client just is mounting his home directory ?.

If you set up an NFS server and use ipa-client-automount you can set it up on the client. You have to set up the auto mount in FreeIPA first though. For home directories you will want to use an indirect mount.

now i have configured the NFS to export the /home in the same server of the IPA Server ,
should i use the autofs configuration on the client or just the command ipa-client-automount ?
also what i should do from the ipa server ?

Dont do the manual set up on the client. On the IPA server, under the automount tab just configure where you want the mount to come from. Then on the client run ipa-install-automount and it will set everything.
