Nice write up, thanks!

@black3dynamite said in Renewing Let's Encrypt certificates using a systemd timer: @nashbrydges said in Renewing Let's Encrypt certificates using a systemd timer: @jaredbusch Thanks Also if you install Fedora Server 28 as a minimal base environment, cronie isn't even installed. Didn't know that but it makes sense.

For anyone interested, I recently setup Ansible AWX on Fedora 27 using this guide. Running as a local VM so didn't do anything with Nginx / reverse proxy.

@tim_g said in Use DHCP option 43 on Windows Server to tell UniFi devices how to find the controller: @jaredbusch I see, so just setting option 43 on whatever DHCP server you use is all you need. Nothing hardware specific is required on the network. Correct

I'm sure there is an exception to the rule but I can't think of one off the top of my head. Databases? That would generally be it. HOWEVER, I normally put my DB on thin provisioning and have a separate, dedicated storage just for the data (DB files) which is thick provisioned. Or if on Scale, the main storage gets a low HEAT score and the dedicated DB files gets set to 11. It depends on how much your database grows. Then provisioning is still just fine if the database size is fairly stable

@hobbit666 said in Install Zabbix on Fedora 27: Just ran through this again as moved from a CentOS install to Fedora and only just noticed it pulls down Version 3.0.15? Current Version is 3.4.8. Does the script need changing or how do we update to the latest? 3.0.15 is Zabbix 3.0 LTS version. https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=3.0&os_distribution=centos&os_version=7&db=MySQL Edit: You will have to manually install the new version.

And still works on my install that was 27 then upgraded to 28 and now upgraded to 29.

Will unlock in a couple of minutes once people have had time to notice the new thread.

Veeam also has a Linux based recovery environment that can provide full recovery of Linux VM's into the HC3 system. Unlike windows, the virtio drivers are already built in to the Veeam Linux Recovery ISO so there is no additional step required for it to see the disk to recover to ... so in this example, I just want to restore all of disk vda from the backup repostory to the blank vda disk. Restore the entire disk.

Well crap, I never added pictures to step 2. I will try to get to that later this afternoon.

You are not allowed to select that for JNLP files in Chrome. Google and Oracle bickering takes a toll on end users

@dashrender said in Using HTML5 Playback in Firefox on Fedora: @jaredbusch said in Using HTML5 Playback in Firefox on Fedora: If anyone is curious as to why these libraries are not in the native Fedora repository, it is due to licensing. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items well, I'd be more curious as to why they aren't included with FF. But as you already told me privately, it's a conflict of license types. Yep, just because two different pieces of software are both open source, doesn't mean the licenses work together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses

@tim_g One problem is the dirty bitmapping in the API is push only so anything expecting an interactive API won't work. This means the backup system can't query the API for dirty bitmaps, only create them. (At least it was this way the last time I looked at it)

@tim_g said in Beginner's Guide to KVM Administration: @fateknollogee said in Beginner's Guide to KVM Administration: @dustinb3403 said in Beginner's Guide to KVM Administration: ssh-keygen -t rsa The above generates the rsa keys required to connect without a password. I'm using ecdsa (instead of rsa) per this info: Choosing an Algorithm & Key Size ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 Nice. That's the equivalent to 15,360 bit RSA! I want to see if e everything I use including GitLab can support that. From my reading, it should.

@dashrender's FreePBX 14 system did not have PHP pear-db installed. My FreePBX 14 install that was upgraded from FreePBX 13 did. A untouched FreePBX 13 install had PHP pear-db installed. I have not had time to spin up a new FreePBX 14 instance to check. If the above spits out an XML error then you need to install PHP pear-db yum install -y php-pear-DB

I haven’t tried it but process substitution may work if you enable envsubst. So rather than an include you might just be able to do: $( nslookup domain.com | yada yada) Driving so don’t feel like typing out anything.

@Tim_G said in Korora 25: MacBookPro install: tips | tricks | info: @JaredBusch said in Korora 25: MacBookPro install: tips | tricks | info: Okay, I signed in and then closed the lid. Light was showing standby. I left it for about 45 minutes. opened lid. Keyboard lights came on but the screen did not come back up. Pressing keys does nothing. Pressing power button does nothing. hard power cycle required to power on. So, seems to be the same issue. Does it happen when using Korora 25 Gnome? I have not installed anything else.

@travisdh1 said in How to install SuiteCRM 7.8.3 on Fedora 25 Minimal: Just thought I'd report back that these instructions are still working for Version 7.9.7 Sugar Version 6.5.25 (Build 344) Just installed a local copy to see if it'll meet our needs for user tracking and such. Will probably pay for an instance on Hostadillo if it does. Guess it's my day to resurrect old how-to threads. Not bad timing. I am installing this for a client this evening.

@wirestyle22 said in Install Nextcloud 11.03 on Fedora 25 Minimal: @jaredbusch out of curiousity how did you go about learning everything you know in linux? A mix of books/documentation/homelab? Any recommendations book-wise if that's something you've done? WTF, I jsut know everything. FFS, get with the program. Seriously, I do not book learn well. I learn by tinkering. So I learned by breaking shit. Repeatedly. It costs a large amount of time to learn things this way. But it is what I do. Book learning generally is no different for most. It all takes time.

@jaredbusch said in How to change your user folder locations with Cinnamon or Gnome 3: As someone upvoted this post recently, I thought I would circle back. I am using simlinks in all my Fedora systems now. This just never worked exactly as advertised. It mostly worked, but never completely. I also use symbolic link with Linux and Windows too. For Windows, it keeps me from messing with the default user shell folders / shell folders path or the need to move the locations. And with Linux, I don't have to mess with the user-dirs.dirs file.

@JaredBusch said in How to Install Fedora 25 Minimal: @black3dynamite said in How to Install Fedora 25 Minimal: Unlike installing Linux Integration Services, Hot-Add support is not enabled by default after installing hyperv-daemons. Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/100-balloon.rules. You may use any other desired name for the file. Add the following content to the file: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}="online" Reboot the system to enable Hot-Add support. See Note 8 on Supported CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines on Hyper-V You mean for dynamic memory to work? Yes, dynamic memory for ballooning and hot-add.

FYI, screens have changed a bit for Version 14

@jaredbusch Good to know. I was thinking about doing this but I wasn't sure if it was truly still in beta or Sangoma was not keeping up to date.

Thanks for this post, @JaredBusch . I got the previous month's bill from TPX and am going to start going through it to see how much we can save by switching from our PRI. We have to upgrade (replace) our Mitel/ShoreTel Shoregear T1, so that will cost a few grand.

So the lifecycle of Fedora versions are around a year correct? On a server like this, can I assume the constant updating of the underlying OS won't negatively impact the NextCloud installation? (I'm coming from Windows world where this is always a consideration). Or are you guys constantly spinning up new VMs and migrating data that frequently? Either way, I'll give it a shot so that it forces me to do it a little differently. New versions come on a 6 month cycle. But I have never had something like this break things. I am sure back when they first switched to systemd it would be an issue. Yeah I just meant each version would get support for one year-ish. But ok I'll give that a shot then if I can find that guide. Which is longer than you should be considering keeping old versions around. So the short span of support isn't really a factor at all.
