@scottalanmiller said in Bind Linux Process to Well Known Web Ports When Not Root:

If you have ever tried to run a user space program on Linux with a port below 1024 you know that this is a security problem and you are not allowed to do so. There is a simple fix for this, but it is not well known.

Once you know the binary that you will be using to open the low number (well known) port you can use this command to grant it permission to use these ports without otherwise compromising security.

setcap cap_net_bind_service+ep /my/binary/file

Now you can run your application. This is most commonly used for user space web applications that want to use port 80 or 443 without requiring that you run a reverse proxy in front of them.

Good to know!

I found this as an example of how to use it and also commands to remove the permission:

The setcap utility seems to be available in the libcap2-bin package on debian distros.

I haven't checked if it's installed by default.

It's an easy fix. Sometimes the directions for the upgrade don't account for the source location of the APT REPO for ProxMox. Check your /etc/apt files and see where your repo is configured. If you are going from Buster to Bullseye for example, make sure that you have this line somewhere and the error should go away...

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

Thanks, we are up and running again!

@Yonah-S said in Turn server into backup storage for remote servers?:

@Pete-S have you thought of selling it? there is a big market right now for getting rid of old/unused hardware. Especially if you have any SSD's in there.

Thanks, but we're keeping it. Just want to extract the maximum value out of it while it's occupying rack space 🙂

There is a utility called stress for that. I've never used it myself. But here is a guide, should be easy.

@Pete-S said in Save shell session to disk?:

That's why you should launch ssh like this:
ssh [email protected] -t screen -RR
If you don't have a session going it will create one.
If you had a session going but it was interrupted, it will reconnect to it automatically.

@JaredBusch said in Save shell session to disk?:

I do not like to launch screen for no reason.

@openit said in SUSE Manager for managing CentOS and SUSE servers.:

Hi there,

Anyone of you ever came across SUSE Manager?

While it is saying open source and it is letting to download evaluation copy with subscription key on email?

I believe SUSE Manager kind product I'm looking, especially for patching CentOS and SUSE servers.

Any clue?

Why not use Ansible or Salt?

These are what I'd generally recommend.

I love Cockpit, it's so comfortable to use.

@scottalanmiller said in Remote Screen Blank in Ubuntu 22.04 | Switch Wayland to Xorg:

Normally all we have to do is change it back.

That is not fixing the problem though. Simply working around it.

The problem is why do these tools not work under Wayland?

Everything in the home lab is being upgraded tonight.

I should say, not even a personal customer. It's just a friend who needs support. 🙂

But that is only the eBook. So they sell way more of them.

It's gotta me more, closer to $.70.

@scottalanmiller No example output? 🙂

@jaredbusch said in Restoring a Windows MS SQL Server Database to Linux With Move SQLCMD:

@scottalanmiller I have not had to do that before with a normal backup to a .bak and then restore. Not some an place move like it seems you are doing.

Happens if going to a space with a different storage layout. If you are coming from Linux you are probably fine. But Windows injects the drive letter into the path (obviously) and so going from one machine to another that doesn't keep identical storage path names causes the issue.
