Did you use my instructions for Zimbra with Apache on CentOS?

Oops. 🙂

But in the past CentOS was there as a direct option. We used it and have customer still using it.

I wonder if MS will offer a base image again in the future with their new "commitment to Linux" claim.

Their commitment was never to CentOS. Ubuntu and Suse.

Ahh, missed that detail.

@stacksofplates said in CentOS 7 networking issues:

NetworkManager still creates the ifcfg files under network-scripts. So those configs will still be there, but should have NM_CONTROLLED=yes

Also, for some reason CentOS ships with both network and NetworkManager on at the same time. So that's most likely why you saw the DHCP for NetworkManager and the static file that you created. I always disable and mask network to keep people from turning it back on when they aren't paying attention.

So it looks like they took out the NM_CONTROLLED section. I must have been thinking of RHEL 6. But NM still creates the ifcfg files in the same directory.

@PenguinWrangler said in Simple NethServer 7 ISO Installation:

Has anyone ever used SME Sever? http://wiki.contribs.org? Looks similar to NethServer, not as up to date of an interface it appears but I have used it at locations and it works well. It is based on CentOS.

Actually, NethServer is based off SME Server:

https://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=49865.0

That's the reason for the similarity.

Just as a comparison, here's what it would look like with Ansible:

name: Recursively own html files file: path: /var/www/html owner: apache group: apache state: directory recurse: yes

@matteo-nunziati said in Anacron Jobs on a CentOS 7 Server:

@JaredBusch well never considered the workload on servers. I don't know how they manage it! maybe not so many use unattended upgraqdes in debian.

I definitely feel like Ubuntu users don't keep their systems as up to date 😉

@msff-amman-Itofficer said in Best tool to manage Centos KVM ? + Guide:

but in Windows environment (virt-viewer) they dont have ssh... so how can I resolve it?

Windows has had SSH for a while now. Both OpenSSH as a server and OpenSSH as a client, plus tools like Putty, too.

That doesn't help with virt-viewer though unless you're making a tunnel. I've never used virt-viewer on windows so I don't know if it has an option for keys.

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems.

Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

@cronsloth Woot

Did you figure this out? I know it's a pain, but if you're stuck you can convert it with qemu to raw.

qemu-img convert -f vhdx -O raw

So that is where we are now. A missing package, unclear documentation and yum unable to resolve dependencies for some of the remaining packages. As the support community showed no interest in Kopano being used in production and actually got angry that we wanted to, we decided to halt here. But there is the documentation in case anyone runs into this and wants to pursue it further.

Planning to test this out soon.

@travisdh1 making a sql file is a pain in the ass.

Look at my Nextcloud 11 guide for the simpler way to handle that and securing mariadb.

Interesting: Fedora 25 starts to panic with RAM < 512MB at the beginning of the kernel init phase, even in text mode. Just had a look at the manual which clearly says that Fedora requires 1GB of RAM.

Looks like I'm out of luck and have to stick to Ubuntu / Debian.

Another thing to note is with RHEL/CentOS 7.3 they recommend a 1GB boot partition instead of 512MB.

Just an aside.

Should work as long as you keep an eye on it. Ubuntu for example likes to keep old kernel and initrd images there until you clean them up (e.g. apt autoclean etc)

Ya I usually keep 3 and remove the others but I think the images are getting big enough they needed to adjust the size. If you do anew install it defaults to 1GB.

This is good. I'm sure many newbies miss the firewall currently because of 1511.

@coliver said in CentOS can be stupid as well.:

I find a good yum clean all tends to fix these types of errors.

Yep. I mostly just wanted to point out that even the OS myself and @scottalanmiller are always recommending can do dumb things from time to time as well.
