UPDATE: We have replaced the router, wifi APs and enabled DHCP forwarding .... it hasn't gone down since! *Really don't want to Jinx it" Thanks all for you help I really appreciate it

@Dashrender said in Registrar Dotster when domains expire:

and it does mention they will redirect the website to an expired page, but nothing about redirecting everything through their own servers, then onto the expected ones.

Doesn't need to, shouldn't be expected to.

I'll try and make a cleaner guide later..

First, spin up your ProxmoxVE system. During the install wizard, I left the boot drive as LVM but did change it to XFS instead of ext4. You do not setup secondary drives during the install wizard. Once up, you need to create the ZFS store on each system, named the same, prior to joining the cluster. The replication process wants the ZFS pool to be named the same on both systems and you cannot name it the same (at least in the GUI) if it already exists anywhere in the cluster.

145f1381-2d1e-4215-b29c-30e2227c00d2-image.png then repeat the process on the second system. make sure to use the same name. Now create the cluster and join the second system to the cluster.

d5efc711-8126-4e30-955a-9d0deba7db10-image.png To make it available, go to storage under datacenter.
545a0b08-72e0-4912-bf3c-f10ce2527d73-image.png edit the existing "data" and add pve2
d8022847-45ea-46ce-be11-807f01e51449-image.png now it will show up and be available for use.

Is this perfect? No. but it is how I was able to get it setup to work.

The manual leave out quite a bit of specifics. on how to do things, but goes into detail on the technical of things.

@Pete-S said in Blind swap / automatic rebuild on linux:

I often see that the argument for using hardware raid is to be able to initiate an automatic rebuild by just swapping a faulty drive for a new one.
A lot of people assume that software raid can't do that. But that's incorrect.

Software raid on linux (as in md managed by mdadm) can do the exact the same thing.

It's under policy and partition policy in mdadm.conf. You'll find on the man mdadm.conf page.
The spare-same-slot option would be the one that works the same way as hardware controllers usually do.

I haven't used it myself since I prefer to initiate the rebuild myself. But I wonder if you guys have used it?

I don't think blind swap is about automatic rebuild, that's a given no matter what software/hardware RAID is running. It's more about seeing the light is red instead of green on drive 6, so you know that is the one to replace.

The only example of not having that available, that I can think of, is https://www.45drives.com/

I don't know man.
A typical SMB would have no monitoring and any server would be stuck in a closet somewhere. Nobody would notice any red lights until several months later or until something breaks and then they'd have no clue what to do about it, wouldn't know who to call and wouldn't have any idea if the server even has warranty (it never has). A spare drive wouldn't be available unless it was an old discarded drive left on the shelf from the last time something was replaced.

While probably true, that doesn't really have anything to do with blind swap.

I'm just saying those that have their server park under control doesn't really need any LEDs. And those that really needs it, doesn't look at it.

But it would actually be a small thing to make a script that would indicate faulty drives. You look at /proc/mdstat and any drive showing a _ instead of U is lit up on the drive bay. It's controlled by SGPIO or SES. That's how the raid controller does it.

I thought MD was already capable of performing this. . .

I don't think so but I could be wrong.

I mean you could run raid 1 on a pair of sd cards. Since that md works on any type of block device or partition there is no guarantee that there are any drive bay lights or anything of that nature. But it's possible that there is an option for it.

Has a quick look and it looks like the ledmon package monitors md arrays and set LEDs accordingly.
So yes, software raid can indicate what drive has an error directly on the chassis with some additional software.

@kmac76 It works well, just haven't tried this.

@kmac76 said in Hosted VoIP???:

My point is - buying a dedicated Voice, or even Voice/Video, or even Voice/Video/Meetings solution is an anachronism. Personally, I view Microsoft Teams, either with Microsoft-provided PSTN access for smaller businesses, or self-provided SIP Trunking, i.e. "Direct Routing," as the best platform. Not all the corner case voice features are there yet - Cisco's platform does that better - but Microsoft's platform addresses much more critical path items that Cisco never will, whereas Microsoft will close voice gap/mostly has.

Huh - I think your idea is sound, the problem is cost. I looked at the cost of Teams with PSTN access and it was outrageous compared to splitting the PSTN access out of Teams. Heck Teams is "free" if you have M365 already.
I looked at Teams PSTN access last year it was around $20/user/month, and there is zero extension to extension calling - i.e. you want to call the person next you, you have to dial their 10 digit number. Not to mention I didn't look into what it takes to manage physical devices (desk phones) connected to Teams.
My host PBX solution and PSTN access costs me around $12/u/m, that's a significant savings.

@JasGot I have a couple customers using the CP960 with wireless mics. They are awesome. They work great for large conference rooms or spaces but another really awesome feature is the mute button on each of the mics.

@IRJ it's like tagging Trump on Twitter, I didn't want to increase his followe count

@scottalanmiller I believe @dave247

Turns out that the embedded controller is defective. HPE has a tech arriving today to replace the defective part.

They also position Ubuntu Desktop LTS above the latest version too.

Which gets super weird. Server I can almost understand, almost. But desktop? WTF

@JasGot said in Creating email signatures?:

For a few people to use? or for an entire organization and forced through policies?

For a small organization where everyone would change their email signature themselves or have an admin do it for them.

If we had the html for one email signature it would be simple to create a script that would create the individual email signatures.

For a relatively small group of people, most companies we work with just have one decision maker create their own, then distribute it to everyone else.

Notes:
The decision makers usually can't figure out how, so we (IT) hold their hand through the process.
Use their e-mail program of choice.
Do it in HTML.
Use standardize fonts (This doesn't mean don't use fancy fonts, it means use fonts that are likely in most OSes.)

Send it around with cut and paste instructions, asking each employee to edit the Name, Title and phone extension accordingly.

For groups under 25, we just do it, it's faster for to just do it than to teach 22 people about signatures. 🙂

Great, thanks!

@travisdh1 yup

What is the basis for this opinion.

Usage. Use it and you will see.

I'm a user of Discourse based forums at a few sites.

That does not answer the question. Because I see no difference either way.

What makes it better in a business setting?

Same here, they seem about the same to me. But NodeBB is faster and I like the dev team more.

Meaning, when someone says pick a number between 1 and 10, I see the only options as choosing a number from the following: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

The same, because that's what they said. Although I almost never hear that, normally it is from 1 to 10, which is inclusive of both 1 & 10, but between is exclusive of them.

I didn't say that, misquoted?

That's so weird. I wonder how it grabbed that.

If you highlight text and hit quote it uses that as the quote and not the actual post. I read sometimes by highlighting with my mouse as I'm reading. That's bitten me a few times on here.

I knew that it did that, which is why I did it, but didn't realize that it didn't correct mark who said the quote in the first place. Seemed like a handy feature, guess it isn't, lol.

Quote only quotes the previous poster.

@Obsolesce said in Email Signature management:

For us, a large company, HR sends out a template to copy/paste from their email we add to signature setting.

Never have to worry about it or manage anything until the company logo or your job title changes.

Easiest IMO. Everyone at the company does fine with it that way.

Lucky, we have very few customers that can handle that.

A previous colleague of mine just joined https://www.claroty.com/ which I just started to check out. I have not used it though

Thanks, guys. It's actually the most logical solution that the ssh client side decides what keyboard layout to use.

So maybe I was mistaken then or it was something else that was off. I'll give it try with some different settings to verify how it works.
