@JaredBusch said in Vyos Configure DHCP Server:

@EddieJennings his second error is related to DNS.

This is a working DNS setup.

set service dns forwarding cache-size 150 set service dns forwarding listen-on eth7 set service dns forwarding listen-on eth7.2 set service dns forwarding name-server 1.1.1.1 set service dns forwarding name-server 8.8.8.8 set service dns forwarding options server=/domain.local/10.202.0.21 set service dns forwarding options server=/domain/10.202.0.21

Correct. I gambled from his title the immediate interest was DHCP. I lost. 🙂

@Dashrender said in Windows Domain routing question - dual-nic:

Though - if you have a second layer network like this, you'll need to inform your external router on the internal networks and how to route them.

Routing to the internet is mostly just a nice to have.

@DustinB3403 said in Setting up an HP DL185 G5:

@Dashrender That is where I was thinking a surveillance system would be a good use. I could use it as a backup repo for my VMs as well with a simple NFS share.

Just needing some things to do with it, maybe something the kid could eventually use. (years from now. . . she's almost 1 already.)

All these things basically go directly to what Scott said - make it a giant storage array.

Home PBX

I was definitely considering setting up a home PBX but I don't know if I want to subscribe to any actual phone numbers

You can learn a lot without doing that. Although voip.ms makes it SO cheap.

And you can make calls without buying a phone number at all. Just pay per use.

What option is that? I don't recall seeing that (granted this was some time ago)

VoIP.ms has never required purchasing a number to have an account and setup a trunk.

You simply have no way to receive calls from the PSTN.

Ah.

@black3dynamite said in Determining resources for hypervisor:

Instead of using Fedora as a firewall VM, how about using VyOS?
https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/User_Guide

I was thinking of that as well, since the OS for the ERLs.

EdgeOS and VyOS are cousins, both descended from Vyatta.

@dustinb3403 said in KVM in Production - Build it yourself:

Building a template VM with your backup agent installed might work (urbackup etc) as they'd register to your server.

Buy individual agents is again more than anyone really wants to manage.

I think we have two KVM backup discussions going on, so I'll post a link to my other reply here:

@DustinB3403

I use my user in the libvirt group so I do not have to bother with the root user.

gpasswd -a jbusch libvirt

Then this works.
0_1512760351248_a5ddf1f5-ef56-46e1-b1a7-f9593c68a19c-image.png

Holy fuck it took way to long to get to this point.

So here is the stupid approach. ssh-keygen -t rsa generating. . . . . . . . . The key fingerprint is . . . ssh-copy-id -i /home/user/.ssh/d_rsa.pub user@kvm-server-ip

Login with user@kvm-server-ip password

Test the login

Disconnect from the remote server and run this next bit on your management system.

gpasswd -a username libvirt

Done, and it works.

@JaredBusch thanks for cutting through the bullshit and helping out here.

Wyd you talking about. JARED mentioned that step like 3 posts down from your OP, and it was mentioned several other times as well.

Huh?

Nothing was as simple as what I just did, Jared was getting to the point at the top of the topic, but there were additional steps I was missing (failed to do entirely). So I dumped all of the rsa keys, and started fresh.

The whole thing is taht simple.

generate your ssh keys copy the ssh keys add to libvirt group (mentioned in beginning of thread and every other KVM related thread)

Done. You can break that up into as many sub steps as you want, but that's what you do.

nevermind. . .

That's the entire point i tried to make in my 5-steps before it getting ripped apart for me wanting to use 4096 instead of 2048, and not using ssh-copy-id.

Because you were a twit about it.

@eddiejennings said in Who needs an MSDN subscription?:

This thread is inspired by the never-ending thread about licensing and replication in I Can't Even.

I know that developers who use Visual Studio probably get their Visual Studio license through an MSDN subscription. One benefit of the subscription is that you're allowed to spin up Windows servers, SQL servers, etc., for development and testing.

For organizations who have full-on lab environments or IT staff who need to spin up a VM Windows Server VM here and there to try something out, how do they stay in compliance? Do they also buy a MSDN subscription (perhaps MSDN platforms) for the IT staff member? Do they have their IT staff continually use Windows server 180-day evaluation licenses? Do they turn a blind eye as they give their IT staff activation keys from a dev's MSDN subscription and hope their organization is never audited?

MSDN subscriptions are user-specific. To stay in compliance, every person who wants to take advantage of an MSDN benefit, will need to have their own MSDN subscription. They cannot be shared. Any VM spun up under the MSDN subscription cannot be used in any way by another person.

Ah, didnt read the full OP post and assumed it was for him.

However Bizspark MSDN does provide startup organizations with multiple user accounts all for internal use and testing. It is not for production or internal use.

Yeah. It's not for me. I was just musing about the test VMs and such we need to spin up as IT, and I was curious how larger businesses or businesses with test labs license those test Windows VMs. I figured MSDN platforms wasn't used because of [see the above responses], but perhaps truth was going to be stranger than fiction.

Larger is different. Once you are of any size you have enterprise agreements and your labs are just covered.

So I decided to upgrade. :). Weekend project while I’m sick. Vms created, moving all data now. This is MUCH quieter than the r710.

I have an R710 and its pretty quiet.

That's what I thought too. but the R630 is even quieter! now I just have to upgrade my network switch to a fanless one, and I'll be all set.

We already have lots of colo servers at work for testing where I can run whatever I want but having some stuff on the home LAN is nice.
So I'm thinking about building something around this supermicro chassis for SOHO use:
alt text

It's roughly 10" in all dimensions. It has 4x3.5" hotswap (SAS/SATA) and two internal 2.5". Takes micro-itx sized motherboards of which Supermicro has a couple of serverboards that fits. Can't go crazy because there are thermal restrictions but that wasn't the intention either. More along the lines of a small Xeon CPU and maybe 64GB RAM or so and a couple of drives.

Getting lots of eyes on this thread today. Very interesting.

I don't know of any off hand, but I am involved with a NP that also works with the developmentally disabled. I can check with them to see what they are using if you would like.

Have you checked on techsoup.org to see if they offer anything that would fit your needs?

Thanks I would appreciate that. I use Techsoup regularly so I've seen what they offer. It's a good resource but I haven't seen anything mind blowing, not that it's required. I'm currently building a Raspberry Pi project that uses a capacitive sensing board to allow clients (verbal and non-verbal) to interact with different objects. When touched the Raspberry Pi will play an audio file that names what it is. This is an example of the types of projects I would be looking for. Even ideas would be great although take it easy, I'm new to Python.

It's brilliant!

If the dc5750 if causing issues, try putting Windows on the DL145 G2. Likely the proc is too old but worth a try.

Rackspace is quite good.

I've been working with them for 5+ years through NTG and they have really been awesome.

@hubtech are you prepending the 1? You can do it either in the Trunk or the outbound route.
