@StorageNinja said in Why I Feel KVM Is the Easiest HyperVisor to Learn the Basics On: Always using burner emails and phone numbers whose contact information never ends up on one of the bazillion marketing (note all it takes is you forget to uncheck a box once in your career) that exist are not surveyed that might be true. I don't buy this. Just because my phone number is out there, it's not out there in a way that would make the IDC call me to find something out. If this is how IDC does things, then we know their info is useless. The problem is, you can't collect this kind of info in a meaningful way. You just can't. VMware knows how many customers it has. MS does too. But RH does not, not even close. They don't even have a reasonable way to guess. And that's just RH, let alone Linux or KVM in general.

Good to know, I use Ubuntu/Debian so I will check for that.

Sorry, ignore me. I got this figured out. I was being really dumb and had the wrong config.json file open and didn't know what I was looking at. Just ignore. Yes, the socket.io settings were missing, but were on my screen so I was sure that they were there.

They both did it! Yes, I have a thing about an entire desktop worth of space getting forced down into one little bar, and the menu being at least 2 clicks deeper than it was. Why is the menu deeper? I don't prefer this setup either, but it's no deeper. It's still a button on the desktop for me. Because as the admin/geek, everything I want/need to use is a submenu of the all programs menu. Granted I mostly just favorite a terminal emulator and be done with it, but it is much farther to move around and menus for me to get through. Give me Cinnamon with a hotkey set for the menu any day. As long as the search function works, I usually find what I need by searching for it. ^ this

He said "Yes, the official FusionPBX install script works fine with Debian 9 and Freeswitch 1.8." So outdated documentation? Or what? Seems like just one page of it wasn't updated. The rest was.

@dustinb3403 Hi, You cant but the /boot as raid However the / or root part can be placed as raid, I did this and I will show you how to do this, but please don't do it. Here where it gets bad. You wish to update the system and kernel and all this can affect the RAID/ now the config for the raid is done in the kernel and stored in boot part, so you always updating this and your always keeping the disks busy, even on network packet level. Everything happens will happen on the / What you want to do is look into purchasing a small reliable drive Like 64 GB or 128 GB NVMe SSD and using that as your / or If that is too fancy or expensive, get USB thumb drive and pair it with samsung SD card and install the root part Then create RAID 10 on the 4 other drives, cause even if the /root fails it wont matter . pop another one and it will auto detect the raid , with cockpit it is very easy to detect the RAID and activate it and mount it

@dafyre said in Centos AND Ubuntu Package Mirrors Down: I disable IPv6 as a matter of defaults on my home network... I'd like to do it at work too, but I never have any issues like that there. Mee neither. It was weird thing I rebooted everything from the router side and it got fixed, so disregard.

yum-cron and dnf-automatic do not use postfix or any other MTA. They simply open and send with a direct SMTP connection by default.

Thanks to you guys I got it sorted out now!

@jnaugle also worth noting, no one actually delivers PRI today, that entire market is a scam. It's actually SIP and then they translate the SIP to PRI on your network edge to make it "sound cool" for people who are out of date and remember when PRI was both still available and actually practical (early 1990s and earlier.) PRI is not nearly as powerful as SIP, nor as cheap, so phone providers long ago "all" moved to providing SIP instead (PRI isn't possible without a physical T1) and "virtualizing" PRI on top of it. All the PRI does it increase cost and lower performance, flexibility and reliability. So the best solution is to get the phone provider to stop pretending to do PRI and just give you the raw SIP. This improves your phone quality by removing unnecessary steps and limitations, removes the need for you to convert back to SIP (gateway, card, however you do it) and makes everything better for everyone. The PRI interface has no advantages, only disadvantages. It takes the better SIP, and cripples it. For people running ancient phone systems from before VoIP, SIP isn't possible, so these terrible PRI interfaces are useful for them to continue to be able to hook up those ancient phone systems while still being able to connect to current phone companies. They aren't totally useless, but they are useful only for that one terrible niche case.

Wow this must be an old server. pam_tally was replaced with faillock in RHEL 6.

@dustinb3403 said in CentOS 7.5 not listing ports when added to firewall-cmd: @jaredbusch Look at the OP, i have telnet listening to those ports. Ahh, didn't scroll enough.

@stacksofplates said in Looking to migrate Nginx and LetsEncrypt: @jaredbusch said in Looking to migrate Nginx and LetsEncrypt: @stacksofplates said in Looking to migrate Nginx and LetsEncrypt: If you start over with a new system so you still get notifications of old certs expiring? Aren't these handled at the domain level so it knows that a new system has a newer cert? Honestly asking since I haven't run into this yet. No. It is handled on the cert serial number level. Ah ok. I've moved things in the past by simply reissuing on the new server, and dealing with the expiring certs is an annoyance.

@francesco-provino said in Linux: History: @stacksofplates said in Linux: History: you can just do gedit ~/.bash_history or if you like the cli cat ~/.bash_history Obv only Bash if that's what you're using. Why conCATenate? Just use LESS. You can do either or any combination. Mostly just pointing you you don't need the gui.

I got the same error I reinstall using this tutorial. https://cstan.io/?p=11405&lang=en Regards. Those instructions is pretty good. He did leave out information about the default user and password for it.

@scottalanmiller Did you ever fix this?

@dustinb3403 said in CentOS 7 Telnet Port Change: Cockpit isn't included in CentOS 7 by default (is it?. . . .) Not with a minimal install. With the problem you are having, I was assuming the issue was with port 9090.

@dustinb3403 said in CentOS 7 enabling Telnet: And I got the port forwarding to work. firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-forward-port=port=9090:proto=tcp:toport=23 I can now telnet to my server on port 9090 (which forward to 23). Nice!

I have other processes that require manual intervention, so checking only takes a moment. I would still use yum-cron to do it. Just don't tell it to install if you don't want it to. You will still get the email when things are available. That does seem useful. No timers to set like needs handled with dnf-automatic just install and edit the conf file. Installing it and configuring it now... If you do yes / yes / no it will even have them downloaded for you. not that that is much of an issue generally.

@dustinb3403 said in Need some help with crontab: Ok and that is what it was. Simply needed to make a bash script out of it and have it scheduled to run, rather than using the commands directly in cron. Problem solved. Solution: pwd /usr/bin/local touch expiring-alert.sh vi expiring-alert.sh /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/snipeit/artisan snipeit:expiring-alerts sudo vi /etc/crontab 35 * * * 1 <user> /usr/local/bin/expiring-alert.sh Presumably changing this to be @daily or @weekly would work as well. MOst of the time that is how I have it setup on my crontab, same for my certbot scripts too.

@scottalanmiller Yh by accident today I was able to understand it better Fedora suffers the same fate as centos, and wants to error out but instead when it does not see the boot partitions it will error out quickly then check the next drive, and if it founds it it will update the EFI parition and add another line so it has fail safe method, centos wont do this. so the 1st entry belonged to boot part that was deleted and the 2nd as well, so fedora will keep finding them if you have them and it will auto update the EFI parition while it boots up and adds another line, so then you can boot normally. all this done in the background, you will just see an error fail for boot for 1-2 seconds they you will boot normally cause Fedora already written another entry. I am starting to like Fedora for servers (minimal install) and if I want centos I can use it as guest vm.

@dustinb3403 said in OpenProject Installation Troubleshooting.: eh. I agree, but I just want to see what it's all about, which docker will work fine for. Maybe I'll revisit once I have more time. Doubt I'll be much help even then though.
